After talking with the minister with the incident with our aunt, we did not get any punishment but he gave us a warning to not do so.

For some days we were at the Leaky Cauldron and got our school stuffs where we met our friends. The Weasley's.

We were very happy to see eachother after a year.

Now we were going back to the Leaky cauldron after Hermione brought a brown cat, who hated scabbers immediately.

We found Mr. Weasley sitting in the bar, reading the Daily prophet.

"Harry! Madeline!" he said, smiling as he looked up. "How are you?"

"Fine, thanks," said Harry as he, Ron, and Hermione joined Mr. Weasley.

"Splendid" I smiled.

Mr. Weasley put down his paper, and I saw the now familiar picture
of Sirius Black staring up at me.

"They still haven't caught him, then?" Harry asked as he saw it too.

"No," said Mr. Weasley, looking extremely grave. "They've pulled us all
off our regular jobs at the Ministry to try and find him, but no luck so far."

"Would we get a reward if we caught him?" asked Ron. "It'd be good to
get some more money --"

"Don't be ridiculous, Ron," said Mr. Weasley, who on closer inspection
looked very strained. "Black's not going to be caught by a thirteen-year-old wizard. It's the Azkaban guards who'll get him back, You mark my words."

I stared back at Sirius as I remembered the words.

At that moment Mrs. Weasley entered the bar, laden with shopping bags
and followed by the twins, Fred and George, who were about to start
their fifth year at Hogwarts; the newly elected Head Boy, Percy; and the
Weasleys' youngest child and only girl, Ginny.

I know Ginny has been crushing on Harry since she met him and she seemed even more heartily embarrassed than usual when she saw him.

She went very red and muttered "hello" without looking at him and walked up to me. I smirked at her to which she slapped my arm.

Percy,  held out his hand solemnly as though he and Harry had never met and said, "Harry, Madeline. How nice to see you?

"Hello, Percy," said Harry, trying not to laugh.

"Hi, we are very nice to meet you too, Percy." I coughed out a laugh.

"I hope you two are well?" said Percy pompously, shaking our hands individually.

"Yes well--"

"Harry! Madeline!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply.
"Simply splendid to see you, --"

"Marvelous," said George, coming up to me and shaking my hands vigorously. "Absolutely spiffing."

Percy scowled.

"That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley.

"Mum!" said Fred as though he'd only just spotted her and seizing her
hand too. "How really corking to see you --"

"I said, that's enough," said Mrs. Weasley, depositing her shopping in an empty chair. "Hello, Harry, dear. I suppose you've heard our exciting news?" She pointed to the brand-new silver badge on Percy's chest.

"Second Head Boy in the family!" she said, swelling with pride.

"And last," Fred muttered under his breath.

"I don't doubt that," said Mrs. Weasley, frowning suddenly. "I notice they haven't made you two prefects."

"What do we want to be prefects for?" said George, looking revolted at
the very idea. "It'd take all the fun out of life."
