Camille's POV

"Honestly Molly, you make raising seven kids look easy" I say as I help her prepare breakfast. The twins had insisted I come visit for the holidays. So here I am, and I've been here for nearly a week.

"Yes, well when you have kids of your own. It'll come naturally" she tells me. "Where are those boys?" she mumbles. I bite my lip. The twins and Ron snuck out last night to go save Harry. Leaving me to cover for them.

"Probably still sleeping" I tell her.

"Ron is usually up as soon as he smells me cooking" she states. "I have to go wake up the other two. Please make sure the bacon doesn't burn" she tells me. I nod and she goes upstairs while i remain to keep an eye on the food. I soon hear the boys return as I plate up the bacon.

"It's not much, but it's home" I hear Ron say.

"I think it's brilliant" I hear Harry tell him. I place the food on the table as an angry Molly appears.

"Where have you been?" she demands. "Harry how nice to see you" she says politely. Before turning back to her sons. "You could have died, you could have been seen, you could have lost your father his job" she rants. "Of course, I don't blame you Harry dear or you Melody" she assures Harry and I. "And that's another thing, making your professor lie for you" she snaps.

"They were starving him mum, put bars on his windows" Ron tells her.

"You had best hope I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley" she tells him.

"Well breakfast is ready" I announce.

"Yes, come eat Harry" Molly says sweetly. We all sit down at the table helping ourselves to food as Percy joins us. "Arthur, Melody and I have been worried about you, too. Just last night we were saying we'd come and get you ourselves if you hadn't written back to Ron by Friday. But really, flying an illegal car halfway across the country" she mumbles.

She flicked her wand casually at the dishes in the sink, which began to clean themselves, clinking gently in the background. At that moment there was a diversion in the form of a small, redheaded figure in a long nightdress. Who appeared in the kitchen, gave a small squeal, and ran out again when she saw Harry.

"My sister, Ginny. She's been talking about you all summer" Ron tells Harry.

"After breakfast, you three are going to go de-gnome the garden" Molly tells her boys. Ginny returns dressed and sits beside Percy. Just then Arthur returns home and kisses Molly on the cheek. He sits down and asks Harry what the function of a rubber duck is.

We hear an owl screech. "That'd be Erroll with the post" I state. Erroll flies into the window.

"Fetch him please Percy" Molly tells him.

"Erroll" Percy says and Erroll hopes onto his wrist.

"He's always doing that" Ron tells Harry. Percy takes seven letters off of Erroll.

"Oh look, it's our Hogwarts letters. And they've sent us Harry's aswell, along with a letter for Professor Prewett" Percy states. He hands the letters out and I read mine. It's from Professor Flitwick, he wanted to finalize our lessons for the year.

"Dumbledore must know you're here, Harry. Doesn't miss atrick, that man" Arthur states.

"He does not" I agree.

"Oh no" Molly says looking at Ginny's list.

"What is it Molly?" I ask her.

"They all need all of Lockhart's books" she states.

"This lot won't come cheap, Mum. The spell books alone are veryexpensive" Fred tells her.

"We'll manage" she assures him. "There's only one place we're going to get all ofthis. Diagon Alley" she states. "Are you coming dear?" she asks me.

"Afraid not, it's time for me to return to the school" I tell them. "But I'll see you kids at Hogwarts, I look forward to seeing you there Ginny" I say smiling. I get up and summon my bags. "Good luck in Diagon Alley, take care Harry" I state. Before disapparating to Hogsmeade.

I arrive and head for the castle. I arrive and drop off my bags. Before going to Flitwick's office. "So I think the first thing you should teach the second years is the general counter spell" he suggests.

"I think that is the right thing to do" I agree. "First years will learn the levitation charm first as normal" I tell him.

"Good" he says nodding his head. "I've been thinking of retiring" he tells me.

"Really? When? Why?" I ask him.

"I believe you are ready to teach all lessons, but until then. I want you to sit in on some of my lessons with the older students. To study the lesson schedule for them. I won't quit for a few more years yet. But I will keep you up dated on it" he explains.

"Of course" I say smiling. We finish planning and I go unpack. Then do my own laundry. I then go catch up with Hagrid. We then go into the forbidden forest so that I can check on the magical creatures there.
