Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Chapter 4 The Leaky Cauldron

Harry spends a lovely three weeks finishing his homework, buying his new school supplies. Harry meets with Ron and Hermione and they go to the pet store together. Hermione buys a cat names Crookshanks while Ron buys some rat tonic for the sickly Scabbers. Later that night Harry accidentally overhears Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Harry discovers that Sirius Black desires to kill him.

It took Harry several days to get used to his strange new freedom. Never before had he been able to get up whenever he wanted or eat whatever he fancied. He could even go wherever he pleased, as long as it was in Diagon Alley, and as this long cobbled street was packed with the most fascinating wizarding shops in the world, Harry felt no desire to break his word to Fudge and stray back into the Muggle world.

WOOHOO! Freedom in awesome wizard world!

He had never wanted anything as much in his whole life -- but he had never lost a Quidditch match on his Nimibus Two Thousand, and what as the point in emptying his Gringotts vault for the Firebolt, when he had a very good broom already?

Even in the wizarding world things become outdated so fast.


"Harry! HARRY!"
They were there, both of them, sitting outside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor -- Ron looking incredibly freckly, Hermione very brown, both waving frantically at him.

YAAY!

Percy, however, held out his hand solemnly as though he and Harry had never met and said, "Harry. How nice to see you."
"Hello, Percy," said Harry trying not to laugh.
"I hope you're well?" said Percy pompously, shaking hands. It was rather like being introduced to the mayor.
"Very well, thanks --"
"Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. "Simply splendid to see you, old boy --"
"Marvelous," said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry's hand in turn. "Absolutely spiffing."
Percy scowled.
"That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley.
"Mum!" said Fred as though he'd only just spotted her and seizing her hand too. "How really corking to see you --"

 The Weasleys just make me smile so much. :)

"The Ministry's providing a couple of cars," said Mr. Weasley.
Everyone looked up at him.
"Why?" said Percy curiously.
"It's because of you, Perce," said George seriously. "And there'll be little flags on the hoods with HB on them --"
"-- for Humongous Bighead," said Fred.
Everyone except Percy and Mrs. Weasley snorted into their pudding.

THAT MEANS MR. WEASLEY LAUGHED TOO! :D

WEASLEYS JUST MAKE ME SO HAPPY. One point for all of them again!
