"And why did you not have them in a waterproof bag or something of the sort?" I whispered to Fred as we sat in the back of a muggle taxi.

Earlier this morning, Amos Diggory's head appeared in the fire place and warned Mr. Weasley of a disturbance caused by an Auror named Mad-Eye Moody. Mr. Weasley had to leave at once and left his wife to transporting all of us to platform nine and three-quarters. Three muggle taxi's were used to take us there. 

The commotion started when Fred's trunk opened and his Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start, No-Heat Fireworks went off due to the heavy rain and gave the muggle taxi driver quite a scare.

I was currently wedged between the cab door and Fred. George sat on the other side of him and our trunks were making the whole ride very uncomfortable. 

"I didn't think I'd need to." Fred whispered back. 

The ride finally ended and we all rushed to get out of the cramped vehicles. After getting our trunks and walking across the street to King's Cross Station, we were all soaked.

Ron, Harry and Hermione leaned onto the barrier between platforms nine and ten and quickly disappeared. The twins and I made sure no one was looking before walking casually into the wall. 

The Hogwarts Express was already pulled up. Parents and students crowded around the train, saying goodbyes. I hopped onto the train to find a seat and found an empty compartment. The twins followed and we stowed our luggage there before running back to where the other Weasleys' waited.

"I might be seeing you all sooner than you think," Charlie said as he hugged Ginny goodbye. 

"Why?" Fred asked keenly.

"Obviously to see my fiance. It'll be torture being apart for so long." Charlie responded with a grin and an over-dramatic sigh as he threw an arm over my shoulder.

"What?" Mrs. Weasley asked with wide eyes.

"It's only a joke mum," He rolled his eyes and turned back to Fred, "You'll see. Just don't tell Percy I mentioned it...'it's classified information, until such time as the Ministry sees fit to release it', after all."

"Yeah, I sort of wish I were back at Hogwarts this year." Bill added, looking wistfully at the scarlet steam engine.

"Why?" George asked impatiently.

"You're going to have an interesting year. I might even get time off to come and watch a bit of it..." Bill said.

"A bit of what?" asked Ron.

But at that moment, the train whistle blew. Charlie gave me a quick hug and a "Have a good year."

Bill hugged me then gently pushed me towards the train.

"Thanks for having us to stay, Mrs. Weasley." Hermione said while stepping on the train. 

I hugged Molly while nodding.

"Have a good year, dear. And please take care of them." She whispered while giving the twins a pointed look.

"I'll do my best." I whispered back before stepping onto the train. Everyone was on and the doors shut but we leaned out the window to carry on the conversation.

"Yeah, thanks for everything Mrs. Weasley." Harry said.

"Oh it was my pleasure, dears," she said, "I'd invite you for Christmas, but...well, I expect you're all going to want to stay at Hogwarts, what with... one thing and another."
