  Mia was shaken awake by her brother, who told her that they were almost at the Weasley home. The teen girl looked out the window, seeing that the sun had risen.

  "Touchdown!"

   They had landed next to a tumbledown garage in a small yard and the siblings looked out the window to see the Weasley home. It looked as though it had once been a large stone pigsty, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several stories high and so crooked it looked as though it was held up by magic.

   Four or five chimneys were perched on top of the red roof. A lop-sided sign stuck in the ground near the entrance read 'The Burrow'. Round the front door lay a jumble of wellington boots and a very rusty cauldron. Several fat brown chickens were pecking their way around the yard.

"It's not much." said Ron.

  "It's brilliant." Harry said, happily, exchanging a look with Mia. Better than Privet Drive, that's for sure.

   "Now, we'll go upstairs really quietly," Fred said, as the kids got out of the car. "and wait for Mum to call us for breakfast. Then Ron, you come bounding downstairs going, 'Mum, look who turned up in the night!' and she'll be all pleased to see Harry and Mia and no one need ever know we flew the car."

   "You really think your Mum gonna believe that?" Mia asked, raising a brow at Fred.

"I mean," Fred shrugged, "she has no reason not to, why?"

"Because she's marching towards us right now."

   The boys spun around to see their mother indeed heading straight towards them. "Oh, bollocks." George sighed, just before their mother came to a halt in front of them, her hands on her hips, staring from one guilty face to the next.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

    Mrs.Weasley yelled at her three boys, before her face softened as she turning to the Potters "Mia, Harry, wonderful to see you both." The mother spun her gaze back to her children, "Beds empty! No note! Car gone! You could have died! You could have been seen!"

"They were being starved, Mum." Ron told her, "There were bars on their window."

  Mrs.Weasley sighed, her eyes falling back onto the Potter siblings, who all but flinched at her attention. Suddenly, the woman's eyes went wide as she gasped "Dear, what happened to your eye?"

Mia laughed, nervously as she shrugged "I hit- I ran into a door."

"Well, I have something that will clear it up right away." Mrs.Weasley said, tugging Mia and Harry back to the house. "Come along and have some breakfast."
