"Don't forget your wand," Ron added.
"Come on guys, I have apparated before," Harry said back to his friends.
Hermione smiled, “You haven’t with a broom, it’s different, and much harder.”
Harry nodded, excepting the fact. Slowly, as he gathered himself and imagined being on the other side of the room with his broom (and his wand), a thought came unbidden to his head. It was of a book he had read over the summer at the Dursley’s, on one of his cousin's untouched shelves. The book was called Eragon and it’s sequel Eldest.
His mind leaped to the end of the sequel where the hero, Eragon had discovered he was the son of one of the major villains. Harry felt the tightening of his limbs and found it hard to breath. He could tell, as the feelings stopped, that nothing would ever be the same . . .
As he opened his eyes and looked around, he knew that he was definitely not in the kitchen anymore. In front of him was a group of unfamiliar people, which isn't a bad thing, if you're a nobody, but if you're name is Harry James Potter, life just isn't so simple.
One by one he recognized the characters. A beautiful lady with pointed ears that he decided must be Arya. A short, gruff looking man who could only be Orik. Harry looked around the circle, matching each person to a description. He turned, hoping to find an exit, but instead saw a sapphire dragon head. Looking back to the meeting he said softly, “Um...Hi.”
“Who are you?” the man who we hoped was not Eragon asked suspiciously, “and why are you carrying a broom?”

Back in Harry’s own world Ron and Hermione searched frantically for him, calling his name and checking all the rooms in the house.
“Wait,” Hermione said, “Why don’t you go and apparate next to him? He probably just went outside to fly.”
“Still afraid of your broom Hermione,” she scowled at Ron’s teasing, “Whatever, I’ll go, someone needs to.”
“I would go but I don’t have a broom.”
“You can use my old one.”
She nodded, not finding another excuse. They pair walked to the brooms and each grabbed one.
“Alright, on the count of three,” Hermione said nervously, “one, two, three.”
The sickening feeling washed over them as they apparated to beside Harry but they had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
