Hogwart's Golden Girl - Reader Insert

Badgers' Burrow

The end of the summer holidays came too quickly for [Name]'s and Harry's liking. The Potter Twins were greatly looking forward to returning to Hogwart but the month they spent at the BURROW had been the happiest of their lives. Truthfully, [Name] felt it difficult not to feel jealous of Ron, Fred, George, Percy and Ginny when she thought of the Dursleys and the sort of welcome she and her brother would expect the next time they turned up in Privet Drive. The Weasley siblings were lucky in the sense they all had both each other and their own rooms, which [Name] and Harry had always shared, and [Name] was especially jealous of Ginny when she would run away to hide in her room after meals, refusing to let anyone in, including [Name] herself.

On their last evening, Mrs Weasley conjured up a scrumptious dinner which included all of Harry's and [Name's] favourite things, ending with a mouthwatering treacle pudding and [your dessert of choice]. Fred and George rounded off the evening with a display of Filibuster fireworks; they filled 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.

The next morning, it took a long while for everything to get started. They were up at cock-crow, 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 brown chicken as he crossed the yard carrying Ginny's trunk to the car.

The twins couldn't see how nine people, seven large trunks, three owls and a rat were going to fit into one small Ford Anglia. Though, they reckoned, of course, without the special features which Mr Weasley had added.

"Not a word to Molly," he whispered to the Potter twins as he opened the boot and showed them how it had been magically expanded so that the trunks fitted easily.

When at last they were all in the car, Mrs Weasley glanced into the back seat, where Harry, [Name], Ron, Fred, George and Percy were all sitting comfortably side by side, and said, "Muggles do know more than we give them credit for, don't they?"

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, Harry turning back for a last look at the house. He barely had time to wonder when he'd see it again when they were back: George had forgotten his box of Filibuster fireworks.

Five minutes after that, they skidded to a halt in the yard so that Fred could run in for his broomstick. They had almost reached the motorway when Ginny shrieked that she'd left her diary. By the time she had clambered back into the car, they were running very late, and tempers were running high.

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 ..."

"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. [Name], having caught the Hogwarts Express the previous year, was very excited to run into the wall again to get onto platform nine and three-quarters.

"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. [Name] went next, and then Mr Weasley, before Fred and George followed.
