13: the burrow

FINN THOUGHT RON WAS CRAZY when he told Finn about his plan to save Harry from his aunt and uncle.

Finn had been staying with the Weasley's for part of the summer since the school term ended. And when both Finn and Ron realized Harry hadn't sent any letters and wrote to them over the summer as he said he would, they thought something was wrong.

"Well, Ron, you didn't exactly help when you called Harry's uncle and began to scream at him through the phone." Finn said.

"Well, I reckon I shouldn't have shouted, but I know he must've got in trouble or something because he hasn't been writing to us or anything. We need to go get him." Ron said.

"With your dad's flying car?" Finn said.

"Fred and George would come too. We'll probably need them honestly." Ron continued.

"This is crazy, Ron. And not to mention, Muggles would see a flying car and go mental. We shouldn't risk it."

Finn wanted Harry away from his aunt and uncle. He did and would do anything to make sure and wanted to save Harry, but it was very dangerous what Ron wanted to do and there were a lot of things that could go wrong.

By night fall, Ron had convinced Finn to join him, Fred, and George as they got into Me. Weasleys flying car to rescue Harry.

They flew for a long time and they finally reached where Harry was and they drove up to his window.

Finn saw a shadow behind the window shuffling and realized it was Harry, who had then opened his window which to Finn's realization had bars on them, which made him really angry though he tried to not show it, and Harry stared at them all in shock.

Ron, Finn," breathed Harry,

"Guys, how did you—? What the—?"

"All right, Harry?" asked George.

"What's been going on?" said Finn. "Why haven't you been answering our letters? Ron's asked you to stay about twelve times, and then Mr.Weasley had came home and said you'd got an official warning for using magic in front of Muggles—"

"It wasn't me—and how did he know?"

"He works for the Ministry," said Ron. "You know we're not supposed to do spells outside school—"

"You should talk," said Harry, staring at the floating car. Finn laughed.

"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 those Muggles you live with—"

"I told you, I didn't—but it'll take too long to explain now—look, can you tell them at Hogwarts that the Dursleys have locked me up and won't let me come back, and obviously I can't magic myself out, because the Ministry'Il think that's the second spell I've done in three days, so—"

"Stop gibbering," said Ron. "We've come to take you home with us."

"But you can't magic me out either—"

"We don't need to," said Ron, jerking his head toward the front seat and grinning. "You forget who we've got with us,"

"Tie that around the bars," said Fred, throwing the end of a rope to Harry.

"If the Dursleys wake up, I'm dead," said Harry as he tied the rope tightly around a bar and Fred revved up the car.

"Don't worry," said Fred, "and stand back."

Harry had moved back into the shadows next to Hedwig, who seemed to have realized how important this was and kept still and silent. The car revved louder and louder and suddenly, with a crunching noise, the bars were pulled clean out of the window as Fred drove straight up in the air. Panting, Ron hoisted them up into the car.
When the bars were safely in the back seat with Ron, Fred reversed as close as possible to Harry's window.
