Arthur came plodding down the stairs. Draco and I sprung up from the floor and were now standing awkwardly, trying to act natural.

"Right I've had enough of everyone mopping around, we're going to do something fun as a family" he said rubbing his hands together.

"Ahh Harry, why don't you take us to a fun muggle place?" He said turning towards me and smiling.

"Umm Alright" I said. I wasn't really sure where I could take a family like the Weasley's. They don't have any muggle money so I would have to take them somewhere for free.

"How about the library?" I said finally.

"Sounds great Harry, I'll round up the troops" Arthur said rushing up the stairs.

"Us wizards have libraries too you know" Draco said.

"You just wait" I said. Draco sat back down on the sofa.

"I will never get used to people barging in on us" he said sighing.

"They'll get used to barging in on us" I said sitting next to him.

"Well if we're going out I'm going to do my hair" Draco said.

"I'll go and check on Ron" I said as we both walked up the stairs, Draco went to the bathroom and I knocked on Ron's door.

"Who is it?" I heard Ron ask.

"Me, Harry" I replied.

"Come in then" he said calmly. I walked into his room slowly. He was sitting on his bed I saw a few tissues underneath which he had clearly tried to hide. I pretended not to notice.

"We are all going to the library" I said running my hand through my hair.

"Yeah I know dad told me" Ron got up and pulled a jumper on. I looked for words to say, words that would actually help him.

"Harry whatever kind thing you're getting ready to say, don't." Ron said clearly.

"Alright" I said keeping to Ron's wish. I slowly walked out and down the stairs. All of the Weasley's we're there getting ready to leave. Apart from Percy who barely left his room.

"Is Ron conning?" The twins said.

"Yeah he's coming now" I said putting my coat on. Draco put his arm around me, his hair was now neat with a side parting running through it. Ron came plodding down the stairs.

"Alright lets go" Arthur said ushering everyone out of the door. We all walked a little way down the drive way to the blue ford anglia.

We all piled into the tiny car. However despite its small size it fit eight people in quiet comfortably. Arthur reached over to the glove box and pulled out an ancient A to Z map.

"Right, this old thing will take us to the library" Mr Weasley said as he skimmed over the map. I was quite sceptical about Arthur's map reading abilities, but nether the less he started up the car and we began to fly. Mr Weasley turned on the invisibility feature.

"We don't want another second year crisis do we Harry?" He said smiling. I smiled back.

It was facing flying above everything and everyone. It all seemed so small, like little specks in a huge world. We eventually began to descend and as we touched the ground Arthur turned off the invisibly feature.

"We're here" Mr Weasley announced to everyone. We all clambered out of the car. I could tell just by he way he was walking that Ron was felling a bit mopey so I decided to give him some space.

Arthur walked confidently ahead, leading all of the Weasley's apart from molly as she was hiding his hand. When we reached the doors Arthur stopped right in front of them. A few seconds passed before I reached my arm out to press the button to activate the doors.

"Spiffing" Arthur said walking into the library.

"Whoa" the twins said before running off.

"Now none of you have library cards do we can't take any books home, but you can read them in here" Molly said to the remaining group of children. Ginny walked off to the teen fantasy area and Ron strolled off, deep in thought.

I dragged Draco to the children's section, m

"why are we here?" Draco said with a hint of annoyance.

"I want to show you all of the books I read in school" I said pulling some from the shelves. We sat down on a mini blue sofa and I showed him the books.

"So you mean that the Caterpillar ate a tiny bite of all this food instead of just eating one whole thing" Draco said crossing his arms.

"Yeah because he was getting ready to turn into a butterfly" I said. I read some more books to him.

"Why can the monkey understand the man in the big yellow hat but he can't understand the monkey?" Draco asked.

"I'm not really sure, it's just a story book" I replied.

Draco looked around, something caught his eye.

"What's that" he said pointing to a rather old and chunky computer.

"That's a computer" I said.

"What does it do?" He said standing up and walking over to them. As we were in the children's area the chairs where very close to the ground, but nether the less me and Draco sat uncomfortably in them. The keyboard had very big multi coloured letters.

"How does it work?" Draco asked.

"You just kind of click on what you want to go on" I replied.

"So if I want to go on this thing, chrome, I've just got to click it?" He said miss pronouncing "chrome." Draco grabbed the mouse and shuffled it around but he couldn't get it to where he wanted to it go.

"Let me" I said taking the mouse from Draco and clicking onto chrome for him.

"Now what?" He asked.

"You type into here what you want to see" I said pointing to the search bar.

"What's Gogo" Draco said pointing to the google logo.

"It's just a company" I replied. Draco started to  v e r y  slowly type. Eventually he spelled out, cat videos.

"I heard Seamus talking about cat videos once" Draco said as he hit enter. YouTube popped up and it  started playing a compilation of funny cat videos. Draco began to smile, I stood up and patted his head. I went on the search for Ron.

I eventually found him in the mother care area. He was sitting in his knees reading a very thick book.

"Are you Alright Ron?" I said shakily.
