"Letters from Hogwarts, Amaya, Harry yours are here too. Dumbledore already knows the too of you are here, doesn't seem to miss a trick, that man." Mrs. Weasley said handing me and my brother the letters

Fred, who finishes read his own list, peers over at mine. „You've been told to get all Lockhart's books, too!" he says. "The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a fan—bet it's a witch." At this point, Fred catches his mother's eye and quickly busies himself with the marmalade. "That lot won't come cheap," says George, with a quick look at his parents. "Lockhart's books are really expensive..." "Well, we'll manage," said Mrs. Weasley, but she looked worried. I expect we'll be able to pick up a lot of Ginny's things secondhand."
"Oh, are you starting at Hogwarts this year?" I over hear Harry ask Ginny. "Morning all, lovely day" a new voice interrupts. A boy who looks just a bit older than Fred and George walks in, with a prefect badge pinned on his sweater vest. "Morning, all,"the boy says, sitting down in the only remaining chair, then leaps up again almost immediately. In the corner of my eye I see Fred trying not to laugh as he sees Errol in Percy's hand.
"Errol" Ron says dramatically as he takes the limp owl out of Percy's hand and grabs the letter under the birds wing. "He's got Hermione's answer, I told her we were trying to rescue the two of you from the Dursleys" he tells me as I look at him curiously. He then puts Errol back down, rips Hermione's letter and reads it out loud.
„Finally—he's got Hermione's answer. I wrote to her saying we were going to try and rescue you from the Dursleys." He carried Errol to a perch just inside the back door and tried to stand him on it, but Errol flopped straight off again so Ron lay him on the draining board instead, muttering, Pathetic." Then he ripped open Hermione's letter and read it out loud:
"Dear Ron, and Harry if you're there,"I hope everything went alright and that Harry-- and Amaya are okay and thatyou didn't do anything illegal to get them out, Ron, because that wouldget them both into trouble, too. I've been really worried and if Harry is allright, will you please let me know at once, but perhaps it would be better if you used a different owl because I think another delivery mightfinish your one off."'I'm very busy with schoolwork, of course'- How can she be?" Ron says pausing halfway through the letter "We're on vacation! - and we're going to London nextWednesday to buy my new books. Why don't we meet in Diagon Alley?"'Let me know what's happening as soon as you can. Love from Hermione."
"Are you all okay with going to Diagon Alley on Wednesday too then" Mrs. Weasley says looking at all of us. "Brilliant" my brother says before anyone else can respond, then glances at the rest of us and adds in "if you all want to of course" After the twins let their mom know that their okay with it, and we all finish out chores, the lot of us decided to go to the fields near the lake and play Quidditch. It is far enough from the village that we don't have to worry about them seeing us, but close enough that if one of the balls escapes, it can make it there. "We toss each other apples instead" George says. The three Weasley's took turns riding me and Harry's broomsticks, seeing as ours are quite a bit faster than theirs.
"Do you want to join us" I ask Ginny after I see her nearby. "Maybe another time, Mum still needs me to finish my chores" she replies and then continues doing whatever she was doing before. "Fred, who's the other Weasley, I think he's you brother, he has a prefect badge?" I ask, realizing I still don't know who he is. "That's Percy, I forgot you never properly met him, he's really annoying, Mum's always telling us we should be more like him" he replies with a grin. "Wish I knew what he's up to now. He's not acting like himself." Fred says now frowning. "His exam results came the day before you did; twelve O.WL.s and he hardly gloated at all." Geroge says, overhearing our conversation. "O.W.L.s are Wizarding Exams right? I think Pansy mentioned them once" I ask them, which they nod at before continuing.
"Bill got twelve, too. If we're not careful, we'll have another Head Boy in the family. I don't think I could stand the shame. Bill's out oldest sibling- he works for the wizard banks, then Charlie who's in Romania studying dragons" Ron says, giving my broomstick back. "So it's Bill then Charlie, then you two" I say pointing at the twins "then Ron and then Ginny?" I ask them checking if I got it right. "You remember it better then I do" Harry says also landing.
After the rest of them went back up to the house to start packing which I already did, I make my way down to the lake. "Hey Cedric" I say happy to see him. "Hey, do you know what day you're going to Diagon Alley on" he asks me. "We're going on Wednesday, what about you" I ask
"Thursday, Dad has something from work on Wednesday, anyways what was your opinion on the book you were reading- it was written by Lockhart right" he asks me. "Yeah it was, and to be honest, i'm not the biggest fan of Lockhart, he's kind of annoying. Looks alright for his age, but I don't believe he actually did all of that" I tell him, as he picks up our conversation.
~Time Skip~
"Girls wake up- we're leaving soon" I hear Mrs. Weasley call from downstairs. Me and Ginny get up, get ready and head downstairs (we're wearing something like leggings or jeans with a shirt)
After eating breakfast Mrs. Weasley takes a flowerpot from the kitchen mantelpiece and looks inside it. "We're starting to run low Arthur, remind me to buy some more today." she says. Buy more dirt. "Well guest first, which one of you want to go first" she asks looking at me and Harry. "First for what?" I ask her having no clue what to do as she holds out the flowerpot to us. "They've never traveled by floo powder, Hagrid took them to Diagon Alley" Ron speaks up suddenly. "Really?" Mr. Weasley asks, turning to me eagerly. "Were there escapators? How exactly -" "Not now, Arthur," Mrs. Weasley intervence . "Floo powder's a lot quicker, dear, but goodness me, if you've never used it before -" "They'll be alright, Mum, just do what I do" Fred says. He take a pinch of the powder from the flowerpot, steps into the fireplace and throws the powder into the flames. I hald jerk back as the fire turns green and rises higher as Fred yells "Diagon Alley" and vanishes. "Would you like to try next" Mrs. Weasley asks me. I accept and take a pinch of the green powder and yell "Diagon Alley"
