{As the Anglia drops through a pink sky, a haphazard mess of a HOUSE, built around a towering central chimney, appears below. By the road, a lopsided SIGN reads: THE BURROW. FLUMPH! The car touches down in a WHIRLING CONE of dust, scatters a group of chickens, and fishtails to a halt. The boys spill quickly out of the car. FRED WHISPERS urgently}

Fred: Hurry! Let's nip inside before Mum wakes up!

{George unlocks the door and opens it slowly, ushering everyone to come in}

George: Okay, come on. Shhh! Okay, come on.

{Harry looks around in wonder, watching as a pan was being cleaned by an enchanted scrubbing brush}

Fred: Do you think it'll be alright if we had some of this?

George: Yeah, mum will never know.

Jayson: I don't know, mate. Your mum catches on to things really quick, but hopefully this time she doesn't. I hope.

{Harry watches the magical objects surrounding him: A CLOCK displays different chores for each family member. A pair of NEEDLES knit a sweater by themselves. And a stack of PLAYING CARDS that. A stack of PLAYING CARDS SHUFFLE themselves, providing a cooling breeze for Ron's aging rat, SCABBERS. Ron shrugs, averts his eyes self- consciously.}

Ron: It's not much. But it's home.

Harry: I think it's brillant.

Jayson: Yeah, mate. This is like a second home to me, same way you guys are like a second family to me. My mo-, I mean Aunt Andy is here too.

Molly began to tear up after hearing what Jayson and Harry said

Andy looked at Jayson with a sad look, Jayson almost called her mom.

{Molly then appears downstairs in front of them angry, Andromeda appears next to her with Lucy beside her.}

Jayson: Um, hi aunt Andy.

{Aunt Andy gave Jayson a stern look, she dragged him and Lucy into the other room}

Andy: What were you thinking?! Jayson, your suppose to be the responsible one, I expected more from you! And then you have Lucy cover for you! You could've died or been seen.!

Jayson: Aunt Andy, I wasn't just going to sit around and leave Harry somewhere he isn't wanted! We're the closet thing Harry has to a family, Harry is like a brother to me and brothers help each other out! You would've done the same thing if it was Aunt Bellatrix or Aunt Cissy! Aunty, I'm sorry I did something reckless like this, but I had to take the chance. {He turns to Lucy} And Lucy I'm sorry for having you cover for me.

Lucy: It's okay, Jayson. I know you would've done the same.

{Aunt Andy moves towards Jay and hugs him tightly, she lets go and cups his face, her eyes begin to water}

Andy: You are really your fathers child...Jay. {Smiling sadly} I know why you did what you did, he would've done the same if it wa sone of his friends that needed help. You wanted to protect Harry, I know you would've done it for anybody you loved deeply. Whether they are blood related or not, I just need you to make better decisions and be careful.

Jay: I'll try, can't make any promises.

{Andromeda shook her head while laughing a bit.}

{Back to kitchen area}

Molly: Where have you been? Harry! How wonderful to see you. (back to the boys) Beds empty! No note! You could've died! You could've been seen! (again, to Harry) I don't blame you, of course, dear.
