They Apparated, again. They were in a lake, in the middle of a field.
"Hey!" Kris exclaimed with glee. "I'm home!"
Before she can take a step, she noticed what they were wading in, mucky water.
"Ah crap," she cursed, "wait, never mind. My legs are dry."
Her boots reached up to her knees, but Harry was wearing sneakers. They trudged through the pond, and in sight was the Burrow, the home of the Weasleys and the Bogart twins. From inside, Lynn closed her potions book, and saw Hedwig and Harry's trunk.
"Mrs. Weasley?" Lynn called from the living room.
"Lynn, what is it?" Mrs. Weasley responded.
"I was only wondering when Harry got here."
"What? Harry? Harry who?"
"Harry Potter, of course, Kris's boyfriend."
"I think I'd know if Harry Potter was in my house, wouldn't I? Speaking of Karina, where is she?"
"She went out to meet Harry for the day. Also, his trunk is in the kitchen, and his owl."
"No, dear, I seriously doubt that."
Hedwig then whistled, and it caught Mrs. Weasley's attention.
"Harry? Did someone say 'Harry'?" Ron wondered as his head dangled over the staircase railing.
"Me, nosy, is he up there with you?" Lynn asked.
"Of course not, I'd know if my best friend was in my room, wouldn't I?"
"Oh god," Ginny sighed as she stood next to Ron, "you sounded like mum, when you said that."
"Is that an owl?" Hermione noticed as she also dangled her head off the railing.
"You haven't seen him, have you?" Lynn asked.
"Apparently," Ginny scoffed, "he's wandering about the house."
"Really?" Hermione gasped.
"Really," Kris chortled as Harry and her watched their confusion drive.
"Harry!" Mrs. Weasley squealed once she saw him.
Everyone came down the stairs to welcome him.
"Harry!" Hermione jumped into his arms as Kris let go of his hand.
"Hello," Harry chuckled.
"What a lovely surprise!" Mrs. Weasley smiled. "Karina why didn't you let us know he was coming?"
"I didn't know," Kris put her hands up, "Dumbledore."
"Oh, that man," Mrs. Wealsey tsked, "But then, what would we do without him?"
"Mrs. Weasley did you let Ninetta out?" Kris asked as she saw her empty cage.
"Why, no dear. We wanted to wait 'til you returned-"
"She isn't here!" Kris gasped as she saw the cage door open.
"Found her," Lynn sighed as she came in with Ninetta on her shoulder. "She's been fighting with the cat again."
"Everyone upstairs," Mrs. Weasley shooed, "but you two, Karina and Lynn."
The twins shrugged, and followed her to the sofa.
"I've been in touch with Snape, and he was wondering if you two would want to spend the rest of Summer with him, until the start of term-."
"No," the twins chorused.
