Mystified, Athena reaches out. As her finishers touch the silk of Dumbledores cloak, she...
EXT. THE BURROW - NIGHT
...apparates into view, stumbling to one knee and wincing.
Athena: Sir?
Dumbledore is gone. Athena rises, glances about. In the distance a crooked house shimmers. A girl with red hair flits briefly past an upstairs window. Ginny Weasley.
"My ass looks good." Ginny said.
INT. WEASLEY HOUSE - STAIRCASE - NIGHT
Ginny dashes down a vertiginous staircase, flies into the kitchen and finds a large trunk and an owl cage. Curious, she cocks her head to one side. The owl does the same in return.
Ginny: Hedwig...? Mum!
Ginnys POV, looking up –– a dizzying perspective of twisting railings and crooked bedroom doors. A clock hangs in view, bearing nine hands, each inscribed with a Weasley name, each pointing to mortal peril. Mrs Weasley appears, looks down.
Mrs Weasley: What is it, Ginny? Is it your father? Has something happened at the Ministry? Has he been kidnapped? Is it the Death Eaters?
Everyone in the great hall laughs, Molly starts to get a bit red.
Ginny: Exactly. How'd you guess?
The immature ones laugh.
Mrs Weasley throws her hands up over her face.
Ginny: I'm joking, Mum
Mrs Weasley: You're worse than Fred and George
Ginny: Now you're joking. I was only wondering when Athena got here
Mrs Weasley: Athena who?
Ginny: Athena Dimpleton. Athena Potter, of course. Fred's soulmate, my future sister-in-law
Mrs Weasley: I think I'd know if Athena Potter was in my house, wouldn't I?
Ginny: Well her trunks in the kitchen. And her owl
Mrs Weasley: I seriously doubt that
"Don't even think about it, Padfoot."
Just then, Hedwig screeches o.s. Ginny gives her an 'I-told-you-so' look when another door opens and Ron Weasley looks down.
Ron: Athena? Did someone say Athena?
Ginny: Me, nosy. Is she up there with you?
Ron: 'Course not. Think I'd know if my best friend was in my room, wouldn't I?
"You really do cause chaos wherever you go, don't you Bambi?" Lily asked with amusement. Athena nods, "it's practically a hobby now."
Another door opens: Hermione, in a robe, toothbrush in hand.
Hermione: Was that an owl I heard?
Ginny: Athena's. Haven't seen her, have you? Apparently, she's wandering about the house
Hermione: Really?
Athena (o.s.): Really
Ginny spins. Athena. Standing in the doorway of the kitchen, smirking.
Ron/Hermione/Mrs Weasley: Athena!
As the others rocket downstairs, Ginny squeals and gives Athena a big hug. Athena laughs and wraps her arms around the girl. The others arrive. More hugs.
Everyone smiles at the screen.
Mrs Weasley: But why didn't you tell us you were coming?
Athena: I honestly didn't know [A shrug] Dumbledore
Mrs Weasley: That man. But then, what would we do without him? Ron!
