So in the beginning of the book, Dumbledore picks Harry up from the Dursleys, persuades Slughorn to return to Hogwarts, and then makes their way to the Burrow.

When Molly opens the door, she says Dumbledore told her not to expect them till next morning.

Makes me wonder, what was Dumbledore originally planning to do with Harry that night when they were going to see Slughorn? He says Slughorn was more persuadable than he expected with was why they arrived early.

Did he expect to be with Slughorn for the whole night? Was he planning to stay over at Slughorn’s place? Were they going to a b&b? Makes me chuckle imagining them two checking into one.

One to ponder over in the shower….
