WHO: Harry + Remus
WHERE: No. 4
WHY: Remus picks up Harry
RATING: PG. Probably.
Harry sat on his trunk at the bottom of the stairs, trying to breathe through his mouth. Dumbledore's ritual had stunk up the whole house, and he wasn't particuarly inclined to get rid of the smell with magic, although he supposed it would be the polite thing to do. His aunt had fled to the supermarket, Uncle Vernon was hammering some nails into something in the back garden, and Dudley was probably upstairs, shivering under his duvet.
A grin spread over Harry's face as he recalled the brilliance of the first bit of real magic he'd ever been able to do against his cousin. The poor boy was now seeing ghost pigs following him around everywhere - really big ones, with sharp teeth. It would wear off in a day or so, but in the meantime... well, it was delicious. Harry made a mental note not to tell Ron until Hermione was well out of earshot.
Someone was meant to pick him up soon.
