Hector received the first letter from Harry Potter since the start of summer vacation, and he was not very surprised. It seemed the Weasley boys had already flown their father's magical flying car halfway across London, brilliantly completing the rescue mission for the savior imprisoned in a tiny upstairs room.
This was quickly confirmed in Harry's letter, where he vividly described the thrilling escape on a thin sheet of parchment. The Weasley brothers piloting the flying car were like angels—justeous and brave—while the Dursleys, who tried to stop them, appeared ridiculous in Harry's account. Uncle Vernon in particular was described by Harry as looking like an "angry bull" and a "flustered clown," every line of the letter dripping with his overflowing resentment.
Still, all was well now. The Weasleys were the most interesting and warmest family he had ever met. There was Ron, one of Harry's best friends; Fred and George, a pair of mischievous yet thoroughly reliable guys; Percy, somewhat rigid but very quiet; Mrs. Weasley, whose sternness masked deep affection and gentleness; and Mr. Weasley, who had left the strongest impression on Harry.
