Shooting Star (Harry Potter x reader) [Years 1-4]

|The Whomping Willow| •Year 2•

3rd person POV

The last week at the Weasley's passed by way too fast for Y/n's liking. The weeks in the orphanage had felt like ages, whilst the last month with the Weasleys ended so fast, she hadn't had the time to process it all

She was looking forward to getting back to Hogwarts, but his month at the Burrow had been the happiest of her life. It was difficult not to feel jealous of Ron when she thought of the boring days in the orphanage

On their last evening, Mrs. Weasley conjured up a sumptuous dinner that included all of Harry's and Y/n's favorite things, ending with a mouthwatering treacle pudding. Fred and George rounded off the evening with a display of Filibuster fireworks. They fiIled the kitchen with red and blue stars that bounced from ceiling to wall for at least half an hour. Then it was time for a last mug of hot chocolate and
bed. It took a long while to get started next morning: They were up at dawn, but somehow they still seemed to have a great deal to do.

Mrs. Weasley dashed about in a bad mood looking for spare socks and quills, people kept colliding on the stairs, half-dressed with bits of toast in their hands, and Mr. Weasley nearly broke his neck, tripping over a stray chicken as he crossed the yard carrying Ginny's trunk to the car. Harry couldn't see how eight people, six large trunks, two owls, and a rat were going to fit into one small Ford Anglia. Y/n suspected that only magic could be a reasonable answer to how they were going to get everything inside the car

"Not a word to Molly," Mr. Weasley whispered to Y/n as he opened the trunk
and showed her how it had been magically expanded so that the luggage fitted easily.

When at last they were all in the car, Mrs. Weasley glanced into the back seat, where Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Percy were all sitting comfortably side by side

"Muggles do know more than we
give them credit for, don't they?", she said

She and Ginny got into the front seat,
which had been stretched so that it resembled a park bench

"I mean, you'd never know it was this roomy from the outside, would you?", Mr. Weasley started up the engine and they trundled out of the yard

Mr. Weasley glanced at his watch and then at his wife.

"Molly, dear-"

"No, Arthur"

"No one would see - this little button here is an Invisibility Booster I installed - that'd get us up in the air - then we fly above the clouds. We'd be there in ten minutes and no one would be any the wiser-", Mr. Weasley tried to explain

"I said no, Arthur, not in broad daylight"

They reached King's Cross at a quarter to eleven. Mr. Weasley dashed across the road to get trolleys for their trunks and they all
hurried into the station.

"Percy first," said Mrs. Weasley, looking nervously at the clock overhead, which showed they had only five minutes to disappear casually through the barrier

Percy strode briskly forward and vanished. Mr. Weasley went next, Fred and George followed.

"I'll take Ginny and you three come right after us," Mrs. Weasley told Harry, Y/n and Ron, grabbing Ginny's hand and setting off.

In the blink of an eye they were gone

"Let's go together, we've only got a minute," Ron said to the two

Both Harry and Y/n nodded. They made sure that their owls' cages were safely wedged on top of their trunks

The three began pushing their trunks towards the wall, gathering speed, feeling confident they were going to make it in time
