After a drive with Ron and the twins,Fred and George,they pulled into the pathway and stumbled out of the car. "Just one question,were we flying with permission this time?" he asked as he took Hedwig's cage from the back seat.She gave a small hoot but otherwise nustled back into a deep slumber. Last time they had saved him from the Dursleys it had been in the middle of the night and Ron's parents,Arthur and Molly Weasley,had no idea.His father actually seemed rather curious of their flight but reprimanded them with one glare from Mrs.Weasley.

Ron nearly fell out of the bewitched car as he opened the door and righted himself just in time. He opened the trunk to help Harry bring in all of his things, but Fred and George had gotten there first and insisted on carrying Harry's trunk up to the house. After that long car ride, Ron was not going to argue. "Er-" he began sheepishly, his ears turning their trademark scarlet, "it depends on what you mean by 'permission'. I asked dad if we could give the car a try sometime, and he said yes. I just 'assumed' that he meant this time." Ron looked at the ground and then back up at Harry's disbelieving face.
"Just, uh, whatever you do, don't mention this to Mum. We have it all planned out that she'll never know, and we don't want this ruined for us." Ron could picture a fuming Mrs. Weasley, and just the thought made him tremble in terror.

He didn't have time to thank the twins as they hurridly brought his turnk inside the house.Harry shook his head but otherwise smiled at his friend.He expected an answer of that sort. "Do you actually think I would do that?" he asked in a disbelieving tone.He knew all to well how Mrs.Weasley could be when she was angry.--It wasn't a pretty sight.Though she always assured Harry it wasn't his fault he still took some of the blame. "Don't worry mate,my lips are sealed," he reassured Ron with a smile as they headed inside the house.
The usual smells and sights greeted Harry as he stepped inside.The pans scrubbing themselves,blankets knitting thmeselves,the famous grandfather clock that didn't tell time but showed where every member of the Weasley family was.He caught Ron's hand turning towards 'Home.' Harry couldn't help but smile as he walked further inside.He loved being here and everything about it seemed more like home than anything.

Ron smiled back at Harry as he followed him into the kitchen. "I know you wouldn't, mate," Ron assured his friend, "I'm just saying, be careful."
Ron took a look around the small, cramped kitchen, as they entered. Though the Weasley eating area was barely large enough to fit their whole family, let alone additional guests, it was cozy, and it was home.
Turning his head quickly toward the clock to check that Mrs. Weasley was still away, Ron breathed a sigh of relief. The last thing he needed was to be busted by his mother, something which all the Weasley boys, no matter their age, feared.
Ron turned back to Harry. "Wanna go up to my bedroom now? That's where you'll be crashing." He exited the kitchen and glanced up the narrow, winding staircase that led to his sleeping quarters. "Fred and George will have brought up your trunk by now." And with that, he led the way upstairs, after making sure that Harry would follow.[/size]

Ginny woke up to a loud bump and lots of talking. She looked outside her room and saw Ron and Harry heading upstairs. She looked Ron first, "You lot better be more quiet" she said with a yawn, "Just be happy mum isn't home yet" she said rubbing her eyes getting used to the bright light. "Hello Harry" she said smiling at him as he came up the steps. // Sorry, its so short, my future ones will be longer.//

Ooc: I'm just going to chuck Hermione in here somewhere ^^;
'Thud' ... 'Thud' ... 'Thud'
A girl with bushy brown hair rolled her eyes in an indication of annoyance, though the smile playing on her lips suggested otherwise. Fourteen year old, Hermione Granger, opened the door of Ronald's bedroom and poked her head out curiously, spotting Harry, Ron, and Ginny on the landing below. She had no chance of concealing her grin at this moment. "Hello Harry, Ron. Glad to see you've all made it back in one piece.", Hermione had arrived early that morning and knew at once why the three Weasley brothers' beds were empty. Although, she did hope they would have learned the first time they'd done it that it wasn't bright to go flying off in an enchanted car at the dead of night when Mrs. Weasley had made it perfectly clear she would have their heads on platters. Hermione smiled and stepped out onto the staircase outside the bedroom, "Mind, you should really keep it down. Percey's taken time off work to do extra reports on Cauldron leaks for Mr. Crouch.", she cleared her throat slightly, the once genuine smile turning into an uncanny one. "Anyway," Hermione went on in her usual 'matter-of-factly' tone, "Your mum will be coming home soon from the market, Ron. If I were you, I'd be quick about thinking up your excuses - she'll be curious on how Harry had got here almost four hours earlier than proposed.", she shook her head in what would have been a sympathetic manner, had a smirk not been peeling over her face. Hermione was certain Ron had probably not thought of those tactics until now. What was more, Mr. Weasley had set up the Floo-network to the Dursley's fireplace to rescue Harry later that day, when Ron and his brothers had went through a load of trouble and gone out last night - only managing to bring Harry back a few hours earlier than he would have anyway. Wether Ron did not know this or not, Hermione didn't know, but it was all slightly amusing either way. Hermione turned to face Harry casually as if she had not just certified horrible news at all, "Oh, and Harry, I hope you've gotten my parcels?" she asked hopefully, referring to her sugar free snacks she had sent him (her parents were muggle dentists). When she heard about the diet he was forced to go by because his whale of a cousin, Dudley, Hermione was sure to send Hedwig back with proper food and a birthday cake. [/color]

"I will," he assured Ron.Without answering Harry began to walk up the stairs beside Ron. He stopped walking when a young girl with the trademark Weasley hair popped out of her room,looking rather tired.They must have woken her up. "Hullo Ginny," he repsonded with a smile and continued following Ron.Ginny used to be so nervous around him but it didn't seem so this year. Then he heard another door open and looked up the next flight of stairs to see his other best friend-Hermione Granger. "Hey Hermione," he said with a smile.When Hermione cleared her throat Harry shot a knowing look at Ron.'Hellos' were over and she was going back to her know-it-all self.He was pretty used to it though;her smarts always came in handy.As it did their first year when she informed them about the Devil's Snare.He was snapped out of his thoughts when Hermione spoke to him after getting through with a now puzzled Ron. "Yeah I did.Thanks a lot Hermione.Without everyone sending me food I probably would have starved," he joked but sounded pretty serious.Dudley had been on a diet this summer and unfortunatly everyone in the house had to join him.--Harry practically got no more than one meal a day. At hearing another girl's voice this puzzled him.No other girl stayed at the Weasley's except Hermione.Harry looked to see a girl brownish-blonde hair walking down the stairs. "Uh...hello," he said awkwardly.

Another girl walked down the stairs swiftly and smoothly. SHe had long blondish-brownish hair and green eyes. Walking over to the others she smiled adn yawned "Heyllo Harry, ROn, Ginny,"she said smiling.She fealt sick and woozy. She wore a black pants and a black t-shirt as her pjs. Her hair was fixed into a bun and she glanced at the other who seemingly had been up for a while as she could see. She smiled and said "Whose playin for the Qudditch World cup?"she asked trying to sound alive.

Ginny stood frozen as Harry said hello, not believing that she said anything to him. As she was raking her brain just standing there staring at hair then she jumped as she heard another girls voice. Its was Rianna,"Hello" she said not knowing who the girl was Ginny hurried back into her room.
She sat on her bed for a few moments then got dressed in jeans and a sweater. She peaked out at the people standing there then hurried downstairs and sat at the table thinking.

Hermione nodded, "Oh good, good. I was a bit worried that -- urm .." Hermione faltered, peering over Harry's shoulder at a girl she didn't believe was in relation to the Weasley's. She exchanged confused looks with Ron and Harry, as if silently demanding some sort of explanation of this girl's presence, then back at the girl again - forcing a faint smile. "Hello. Name's Hermione Granger," Hermione greeted, out stretching a hand for the girl to shake, "May I ask for yours?" she asked in a would be polite voice had she not disconcerted it with puzzlement.[/color]

Harry hardly noticed Ginny run back into her room then hurry downstairs as he was a bit more focused on the stranger that was inside the Burrow.He simply gave a small shrug when Hermione sent him and Ron a confused look.They were both just as confused as she was about all of this.Harry just stood there and waited for the girl to respond so he would at least know her name. Then the name came.Harry stepped forward and decided to introduce himself next. "Hi,I'm Harry Potter."

"Hello, I'm RIanna. Nice to meet you."she said a faint smile approached her face. She, Mr and Mrs. Weasley only knew why she had been there and didn't say it to the others. Not yet anyways. SHe had no clue who any where Only Hermione now.

Darn! Ron said in his head, realizing that his chances of coming up with a better excuse about Harry would be more difficult, now that he learned that his parents were only four hours behind. Just hoping that his parents would come home before landing in the Dursley's living room, Ron promised himself to ask Hermione for ideas later. That was her kind of thing, thinking things through thoroughly, not his.
Ron barely had time to concentrate on anything, including Ginny and Hermione, when another girl, whom Ron had never before seen in his life, walked down the stairs. Had she been in HIS room? And who was she?
Ron heard her awkward question about the Quidditch World cup and waited quietly during the quick hellos and introductions that followed. Running a hand through his bright red hair, a quizzical look on his face, he stuck out his other hand to the strange visitor.
"Hi, erm," he said, "my name's Ron. Uh, don't mean to sound rude but..." Ron glanced around at the others, realizing that he had been the only one brave enough to ask the question that had been on all of their minds. "What are you doing here?"[/size]
