[Fred walks to the window and opens it to unlock the door.]

Fred: Come on. Okay, come on. Shhh! Shhh!

[Fred is checking that the coast is clear then beckoning the others inside.]

Fred: Okay, come on

Ron: Do you think it'd be all right if we had some of this?

[George is half smiling.]

George: Yeah, Mum would never know

Ron: It's not much, but it's home

Madelyn: I think it's...brilliant

"Oh dear!" Molly gushes at Maddie.

[Ron and Sky looks up. Sees Maddie's mesmerized face. Ron slowly smiles.]

Mrs. Weasley: Where have you been?

[The boys nearly jump out of their skin. Mrs. Weasley stands in the doorway. Furious. She smiles sweetly at Maddie.]

Mrs. Weasley: Maddie, how wonderful to see you dear

[Mrs. Weasley turns back to Fred, George, Sky and Ron.]

Mrs. Weasley: Beds empty! No note! Car gone! You could've died! You could've been seen!

[Mrs. Weasley turns back to Maddie.]

Mrs. Weasley: Of course, I don't blame you, Maddie dear

Skyler: They were starving her, Mum! There were bars on her window!

Mrs. Weasley: Well, you'd best hope that I don't put bars on your window, Skyler Weasley!

[Mrs. Weasley starts softening instantly.]

"I swear mum has bipolar attitude." Sky whispers to Fred and George, they nod. Molly heard them and glared at them.

Mrs. Weasley: Care for a spot of tea, Maddie?

[Ginny is walking down the stairs.]

Ginny: Mummy. Have you seen my jumper--

Mrs. Weasley: Yes dear. It was on the cat

[Ginny looked wide eyed at Maddie.]

Madelyn: Hello. W-what did I do?

Ron: Ginny. Been talking about you all summer. Dead annoying, really

[Mr. Weasley comes in.]

Mr. Weasley: Morning, Weasleys

Fred, George, Sky and Ron: Morning, Dad

Mrs. Weasley: Morning Arthur!

Mr. Weasley: What a night. Nine raids. Nine!

Madelyn:  [to Ron]Raids?

Ron: Dad works in the Ministry of Magic. In the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office. Dad loves Muggles. Thinks they're fascinating

Mr. Weasley: Well now. Who are you?

Madelyn: Oh, sorry sir. I'm Madelyn, sir, Madelyn Potter, but call me Maddie.

Mr. Weasley: Good Lord, are you really? Sky and Ron's told us all about you, of course. When did she get here?

Mrs. Weasley: (darkly) This morning. Your sons flew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back last night

Mr. Weasley: Did you really! How'd it go?!

[Mr. Weasley catches Mrs. Weasley's eye. Fred, George, Ron, Sky and Maddie are hiding their laughter.]

Fred, George, Ron, Skyler and Madelyn: Oh, it...

Mrs. Weasley: Arthur!

[Everyone except Molly is trying very hard to stop laughing.]

Mr. Weasley: I mean...that was very wrong, indeed, boys. Very wrong of you. Now, Maddie, you must know all about Muggles. Tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?

Madelyn: Oh, umm...

[An owl, Errol with letters flew in, only to hit a window.]

Mrs. Weasley: Well, that'll be Errol with the post. Oh, fetch it will you Percy, please?

Percy: Errol...

Ron: He's always doing that

Percy: Oh look, it's our Hogwarts letters. And they've sent us Maddie's as well

Mr. Weasley: Dumbledore must know you're here, Maddie. Doesn't miss a trick, that man

Mrs. Weasley: Oh, no

Fred: This lot won't come cheap, Mum. The spell books alone...

Mrs. Weasley: We'll manage. Right then. There's only one place we're going to get all of this: Diagon Alley.
