Summer was almost over and school was about to start. I sat in Ron's room, discussing our plan to rescue Harry from his Muggle family.
Over the summer, I had written to him, but unfortunately, he hadn't replied. He had done the same to Ron and Hermione.
The plan was to wait until everyone had gone to bed, then sneak out and steal the car with the Weasley twins.
"So, we have to steal your dad's car, fly it to Harry's house, rescue him, and then dash away? Yeah, sounds easy," I said, sarcasm evident in my tone.
"Come on, it's not that difficult," said Fred.
"If Mum finds out, we're dead," Ron said, looking at the twins.
"Look, do you want to save him or not?" asked George.
"Of course, we want to save him," I said, rolling my eyes.
"Then, come on," Fred said before checking if everyone was already asleep.

"Ron, Cassie!" I sighed in relief, creeping to the window and pushing it up so they could talk through the bars.
"How did you- What?" I asked in surprise. Ron Weasley was standing out his window in a car that was parked mid-air with Cassiopeia and the Weasley twins.
"Alright, Harry?"
I nodded in reply.
"What's been going on? Why haven't you been answering my letters? Cassie and her aunt reached my house a couple of hours ago. I've asked you about twelve times, and then Aurie said that you received an official warning for using magic in front of Muggles..."
"It wasn't me- and how did she know?"
"She works for the Minister," said Cassie. "You know we're not allowed to do spells outside sool."
"Bit rich coming from you guys," I said staring at the floating car.
"Oh, this doesn't count," said Ron.
"We're only borrowing this, it's Dad's, we didn't enchant it but doing magic in front of the muggles you live with."
"I told you, I didn't. It will take a long time to explain. Can you tell them at Hogwarts that the Dursleys have looked me up and won't let me come back, and I can't magic my way out? The Ministry will think that it's the second spell I've done in three days so-"
"Stop gibbering. We've come to take you home with us."
"But you can't magic me out either-"
"We don't need to," said Ron.
"You forgot who we have got with us," Cassie said referring to the twins.
"Tie that round the bars," said Fred, throwing the end of a rope to Harry.
"If the Dursleys wake up, I'm dead."
"Don't worry and stand back."
The car revved louder and louder and suddenly made a crunching noise, the bars were pulled clean out of the window.
Fred reversed the car as close as possible to the window.
"Get in," Ron said.
"But all my Hogwarts stuff... my wand... my broomstick..."
"Where is it?"
"Locked in the cupboard under the stairs and I can't get out to this room-"
"No problem. Out of the way, Harry." Said George.
Fred and George climbed carefully through the window. You had to hand it to them, I thought as George took an ordinary hairpin from his pocket and started to pick the lock.
"A lot of wizards think it's a waste of time, knowing this sort of muggle trick. But we feel they are skills worth learning even if they are a bit slow," said Fred.
There was a small click and the door swung open.
"So- we'll get your trunk- you grab anything you need from your room and hand it out to Ron," whispered George.
"Watch out for the bottom star, it creaks," I whispered back to the twins.
I dashed around the room, collecting my things together and passed them to Ron while Cassie arranged everything in the back seat.
Then, I went to help the twins heave my trunk up the stairs when I heard Uncle Vernon cough.
At last, panting, they reached the landing and then carried the trunk up to my room to the open window. It was a struggle getting it into the car but we managed nonetheless.
Uncle Vernon coughed again.
As I climbed onto the window sill, to get into the car, I heard a loud screech behind me and Uncle Vernon's thundered.
"THAT RUDDY OWL!"
"I've forgotten Hedwig."
I tore back across the room as the landing lights clicked on. I snatched up Hedwig's cage and handed it to Cassie. I was scrambling back to the chest of drawers when Uncle Vernon crashed open the door.
For one second, Uncle Vernon stood framed at the door and then bellowed at me like an angry bull. He tried to stop me from going by grabbing my ankle but Ron, Cassie and the Twins seized my arms and pulled as hard as they could.
The four of them gave a gigantic tug and my leg fell out of Uncle Vernon's grasp. As soon as I got into the car and shut the door, Ron yelled, "Put your foot down, Fred!" and the car shot suddenly towards the moon. I couldn't believe it - I was free.
