Harry Potter's sister ~~~ Fanfiction

Dementors on the train part 57

Lunch the following day was something of a party in the Leaky Cauldron. Despite their recent international travels, Luna and Natalie both made it as did the rest of the group that had formed a year ago. Added to that the arrival of the Weasley family, and the pub was beginning to get overcrowded.

"Harry?" said Hermione happily as she came in with her trunk. She pulled him into a hug. "Hey Neville." She said as she gave the other boy a hug, the process was repeated a third time Ron when he came downstairs.

"Happy Birthday Emma." Said Ginny pulling her friend into a hug.

"Thanks." Said Emma as she reciprocated.

While all the new arrivals wished Emma happy birthday, Mr and Mrs Weasley came over to Harry.

"Did you get all your stuff?" said Mrs Weasley

"Yesterday." Said Harry, "We all did."

"We didn't know that you and Emma were at the Creeveys' place." Said Mr Weasley. It was probably Harry's imagination. But he seemed remarkably serious.

"Really? We told Ron and Ginny, didn't they tell you?" said Harry.

"You never asked me." Said Ron immediately on the defensive.

"Or me." Said Ginny.

"It's just when we talked to your relatives they seemed under the impression you were at a Wizarding household." Said Mrs Weasley.

"What?" said Harry confusedly, why did the Weasleys go see the Dursleys. "But we told them that we were going to Colin's… Ah!"

"Ah?" said Mrs Weasley.

"Ah!" said Emma realising. "Let me guess. There precise words were: some freakish place?"

"Yes." Said Mr Weasley. "Not altogether pleasant people I must admit."

"I suppose we never told them Colin's Muggleborn." Said Harry "Anyway, why did you want to see us?"

"Oh no reason. No one knew where you were." Said Mrs Weasley.

Harry was now thoroughly confused now.

"Ok I've got all your room keys." Came Tom's voice. "That's three rooms with two single beds and one room with a double. The double is number 8, they're all just upstairs."

After the Weasleys and Hermione took their luggage upstairs everyone went for a wander down Diagon Alley. The bookshop owner looked dearly depressed when Ron and Hermione asked for two copies of the Monster Book of Monsters. But he was now using Mrs Longbottom's technique to extract them, so he at least avoided injury. Ron and Hermione emerged from the shop with their books bound with spello-tape to keep them from attacking after the stunner wore off.

"Are we being followed?" said Demelza looking over her shoulder. There were two wizards, one of which had a ponytail, who seemed to be wandering in their direction.

Emma turned as well. "You mean those two who keep looking at their watches? Yeah I think they are following us."

"Why?" said Vicky.
