The Weasleys

Thomas pov,

It was morning when we arrived at the Burrow, the Weasley family's residence; landing on the ground, we drove straight towards a pig pen, with two pigs relaxing inside, before coming to a complete stop.

Fred walked to the window and opened it to unlock the door. "Come on. Okay, come on." he told us. He checked to see if the coast was clear then beckoned the others inside, shushing us as he did so, "Okay, come on."

The door led straight into a kitchen. Me and Harry saw the sink with the water running. Inside was a bronze pan being washed by a brush that was hovering in the air! Me and Harry continued to explore the magical house as the Weasleys took off their coats.

Their houses was probably one of the best things I had ever seen. The magic in this place was amazing and blew me away.

"Do you think it'd be all right if we had some of this?" Ron asked. I turned to see him looking at some food on the table.

George half-smiled, "Yeah, Mum would never know." he told Ron. I looked up at the grandfather clock and saw that at the ends of the arrows, it had Fred, George and Ron's faces looking up as it turned.

I followed Harry as we walked into the living room, where there was cloth being knitted on a couth in the air.

"It's not much, but it's home." Ron said as he walked up to the 2 of us.

"This is paradise." I said in awe.

"I think it's...brilliant." Harry replied as well.

Ron looked up and must've seen our mesmerized faces because then he smiled as well.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" 

All of us nearly jumped out of their skin from the sudden yelling voice. We turned to see it was Mrs. Weasley, who stood in the doorway, furious. They all hid the breakfast rolls they took from the kitchen behind their backs. She smiles sweetly at Harry and me, changing expressions in an instant, "Harry, Thomas, how wonderful to see you, dears." She said sweetly as she walked up to us. She turned back to Fred, George and Ron with her hands on her hips, "Beds empty! No note! Car gone! You could've died! You could've been seen!" She turned back to Harry and me, "Of course, I don't blame you, Harry, dear. Nor you either, Thomas."

"They were starving him, Mum! There were bars on their windows! You know what the orphanage Thomas lives in is like." Ron defended, his mouth stuffed with food.

"Well, you'd best hope that I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley!" She said as she pointed at him right in the face. She then started softening instantly. "Come on, Harry, Thomas. Time for a spot of breakfast." 
We were all then sitting around the dinner table in the kitchen as Mrs. Weasley dished up breakfast. I could hear someone was running down the stairs, "Here we are, Harry. And there you, Thomas." she said as she dished us food. "Now tuck in. That's it. There we go."

Ginny then came from the stairs in her pajamas and ran up to her mother, "Mum. Mummy, have you seen my jumper?" she asked.

"Yes dear. It was on the cat." Mrs. Weasley told her. She then looked down and Harry and immediately got wide eyed.

"Hello." He greeted. Ginny slowly backed away before running off, making Fred and George silently laugh, "W-what did I do?" he asked Ron.

"Ginny. She's been talking about you all summer. Bit annoying, really." Ron told him.

A man then showed up from the door we had previously entered from. Mr. Weasley. "Morning, Weasleys!" he greeted.

"Morning, Dad!' The Weasley boys greeted back in unison.
