Turn to Page 39, Back to the Burrow. Today’s lesson is called When Worlds Collide
The chapter begins with Harry and his family waiting for the Weasleys to arrive, to take Harry to their home for the rest of the summer. Vernon and Petunia are ready to judge, but Dudley is scared to relive the trauma of a pig’s tail. Their judgement begins before they even arrive, however, as the Weasleys are late -- until there is noise from the fireplace, as several of them pile-up behind the Dursley’s electric grate. Mr. Arthur Weasley magicks away the grate and out spill Fred, George, and Ron, as well as a cloud of ash and dust. As Mr. Weasley tries to make small talk with the Dursleys, the twins run off to collect Harry’s things. A few awkward minutes later, and Ron and the Twins go back through the fireplace, but not before spilling some sweets into the room - one of which Harry’s cousin consumes just before he is going to go through the floo network himself. Dudley’s tongue has grown too large for his mouth, and although Mr. Weasley is trying to help, the Dursleys are panicked.
