Willow sits at the table, eating breakfast with her dad, mum and Marcus, when two owls fly in. One lands in front of her as the other lands in front of Marcus, smiling she takes the letter "Thank you." she tells the owl, giving it a piece of sausage before it flies off. "Hogwarts?" Davina asks. "Yeah." Marcus nods as they open their letters.

Willow passes her letter to Kol so he can read it "Who the Hell is so obsessed with Lockhart that they want you to have all his books?!" Kol exclaims. Willow shrugs and looks at Marcus "How are your O.W.Ls results?" she asks. "I passed everything that I needed to." Marcus responds, passing his letter to Kol too. "Well done Marcus, you can get something when we go to Diagon as a treat for such good grades." Davina smiles, reading over Kol's shoulder. "Thanks Mum." Marcus smiles. "Why have you got all of Lockhart's books too?" Kol mumbles with a frown. "Anyone would think you don't like him Dad." Willow giggles. "Personally I think he loves him, Low." Marcus grins. Kol shakes his head with a chuckle "I'll go and call the boys and Hermione's parents, see if they want to meet today." he tells them. "I'll Floo call the team." Marcus nods. Willow smiles, getting up "I'm going to see if Hope wants to come with us, we were talking about getting ice cream together." she says, walking out.
Willow smiles as she's engulfed into a hug by Draco, Theo and Blaise "I missed you three!" she tells them, hugging them back. "We missed you too." Blaise tells her. "Definitely." Theo nods. "Very much missed." Draco agrees. "Wills! Boys!" Hermione exclaims, running over and joining their hug. "'Mione!" Willow grins. The five of them pull away "Did you hear what the twins and Ron did?" Hermione asks the boys. "No, what?" Blaise asks. "They flew Mr Weasley's flying car to Surrey and back to get Harry." Willow explains quietly, not wanting anyone to overhear. The three boys smile "Of course you smile." Hermione sighs. "Come on, our parents have moved over there to talk." Theo says, motioning to where their parents have gathered by Gringotts. Willow leads them over, frowning when she realises that Marcus is no longer there "Where's Marc?" she asks. "He's meeting the team at the Leaky Cauldron, they're going to meet us at Florish and Blotts later." Davina explains. Just then, Hope walks over holding a bag "I got the stuff I needed to get." she tells Kol and Davina before turning to Willow, Hermione and the boys "Hey you four." she smiles, greeting Willow's friends. "Hey Hope." they respond. "Wills, Dray, Blai, Theo, look, it's Harry! Harry! Harry! Over here!" Hermione exclaims, making Harry look over.
Willow and Hermione run over to him, the boys following "What happened to your glasses? Hello, Hagrid—Oh, it's wonderful to see you two again—Are you coming into Gringotts, Harry?" Hermione asks. "As soon as I've found the Weasleys." Harry responds. "Yeh won't have long ter wait." Hagrid tells him with a grin. They all turn to see Ron, Fred, George, Percy, and Mr Weasley "Harry. We hoped you'd only gone one grate too far... Molly's frantic—she's coming now." Mr Weasley tells him. "Where did you come out?" Ron asks. "Knockturn Alley." Hagrid says grimly. "Excellent!" Fred and George grin together. "We've never been allowed in." Ron tells him enviously. "I should ruddy well think not." Hagrid tells them. Willow bites her lip, not saying anything as she, Draco, Theo and Blaise look at each other. Mrs Weasley rushes into view, her handbag swinging wildly in one hand as Ginny clings onto the other "Oh, Harry—oh, my dear—you could have been anywhere!" she exclaims, pulling out a large clothes brush from her bag and beginning to sweep the soot off Harry's clothes. Davina and Kol walk over with Hope "Give me your glasses, Harry." Hope smiles, taking the boy's glasses. Waving her hand over them, Hope fixes therm and passes them back "Thank you." he smiles, putting them back on. "Your parents have left us in charge of you, we're meeting up with them again later." Kol tells the boys and Hermione.
Hagrid gets his hand wrung by Mrs Weasley "Knockturn Alley! If you hadn't found him, Hagrid!" she tells him. "Well, gotta be off. See yer at Hogwarts!" he tells them, walking off as they wave at him. "Guess who I saw in Borgin and Burkes? Snyder and his father." Harry says as they head towards Gringotts again. "Did Walter Snyder buy anything?" Mr Weasley asks from behind them. "No, he was selling." Harry responds. "So he's worried. Oh, I'd love to get Walter Snyder for something..." Mr Weasley mumbles. "You be careful, Arthur. That family's trouble. Don't go biting off more than you can chew." Mrs Weasley tells him. "So you don't think I'm a match for Walter Snyder?" Mr Weasley asks indignantly, but is distracted almost at once by the sight of Hermione's parents. "here we go." Ron tells his friends. "But you're Muggles! We must have a drink! What's that you've got there? Oh, you're changing Muggle money. Molly, look!" Mr Weasley smiles excitedly, pointing at the ten pound notes in Mr Granger's hand. "Meet you back here." Ron tells Willow, Hermione and the boys as the Weasleys and Harry are led off to the carts by a goblin.
