The Burrow

The Burrow is the Weasley family home, first visited in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and it takes Harry about one look to decide it is the best house he has ever been in. It stands on the edge of the village of Ottery St Catchpole, several storeys of rooms added on as the family grew, leaning at angles that suggest the whole structure is held up by magic, because it is. Chickens scratch in the yard, gnomes infest the garden and must be periodically slung over the hedge, a ghoul clanks companionably in the attic, and the kitchen clock tells not the time but things worth knowing, like when it is time to make tea. Crowded, patched, and loud, the Burrow runs on Molly Weasley's cooking and stands for everything the Dursleys' spotless house is not.
