Normal Life With The Weasleys
A/N: Hey guys! The new series! Like the title? I kind of do, but I was really iffy about it. Another thing is that, I wanted to ask, do you guys like my character is too "Mary-Sue?" if you know what that means? Someone today said she was a bit "Mary-Sue", for those who don't know what that means like me until today, it's pretty much like god mode perfect character. And I don't mean to make Aurora that way, and I do think she had her own flaws, but I guess, I'll try to make her more flawed? I don't know, but I just wanted to address that and ask if anyone else thinks that way, because in no way do I mean for her to be like perfect, because I'm a person who strongly believes no one's perfect, definitely not me. But yeah. Anyways, excuse my rants, I do that a lot more than I should. Anyways here is the first chapter of, Scarlet Hearts; Fifth Years March!
A/N: Nother thing to mention, this is a sequel, the one before is called Cats and Ferrets Fourth Year's Blue! I want to welcome everyone back, and if you haven't read the first one, there will be a lot of things you might not get, and so go check it out. If you don't want to, well them, welcome and try to understand!
"RON!" Aurora said, running down the stairs, Ron turned and shrieked in a slight terror.
"Noooooooooo!" Ron said as he collided to the floor. Aurora snatch what was in his hands and pried it out of his fingers, then sat on him triumphantly.
"How many times do I have to tell you! OPENING OTHERS PEOPLES MAIL IS ILLEGAL SO STAY OUT OF MY MAIL FROM DRACO YOU PRAT!" Aurora screamed in rage.
"But! I'm trying to protect you!" Ron said, desperately trying to get out from under his sister.
"What is going on in here so early in the morning?" Mr. Weasley asked as he yawned walking into the room they were in.
"Ron keeps stealing my mail from Draco and reading it, and attempts to send him a letter back telling him how much of a prat he is. When honestly, Ron you're the prat," Aurora said, putting him in a choke hold.
"Aurora let your brother go. Ronald, stop taking your sisters mail! I don't want to keep waking up to this constant cycle. I'm amazed you wake up this early just to get her mail before her, why can't you be this dedicated about school? Maybe you'll learn something," Mr. Weasley said and yawned sitting at the table.
"Ha, Ron, dad picked me over you," Aurora said, sitting up, gripping the letter that had her name written in Draco's fancy pants script. Aurora sat down next to Mr. Weasley and Ron sat across from her, rubbing his neck.
"Must you grip so hard?" Ron asked Aurora stuck her tongue out at him and opened the letter.
Dear Aurora,
Hello love, it's only been a week since schools been out and I'm missing you already! I know we write everyday but, what is life without a person who loves you?
Anyways, I've been meaning to ask this, could you possibly come to the manor? My manor, my mother and father would love to meet you. Well… my father had met you, but I wouldn't enjoy counting, saving my girlfriend from the Dark Lord really, well, "meeting."
Anyways, think of this as me asking you for a belated birthday present? Seeing as how we both managed to forget my birthday in the mix of the madness. Reply soon? I miss you.
Love,
Draco.
"What's the git saying?" Ron asked, Mrs. Weasley walked into the room, bringing breakfast as the other three people who lived in the house came down stairs all groggy.
"Hey mum, dad," Aurora said, grabbing toast and nibbled on it, "Can I go over to Draco's for a day?"
"What? Why would you want to go to Malfoy Manor? It's probably a trap," Ron said.
"Ron you are so annoying. Obviously I want to see my boyfriend, whose father just so happened to save my life. And seeing as how he saved my life, why would it be a trap?" Aurora asked as she kept eating her toast.
"Well I don't know, it's Malfoy, he's always been a git," Ron said.
"Please, he's trying to be nice to you, but you acting this way, I can't seem to remember why I'm nice to you," Aurora said.
"Oh please, I'm Ron Weasley, everyone loves me," Ron said.
"Oh please, I'm Aurora Willows-Weasley, I don't love you at all," Aurora said.
"I think it's a great idea Aura, then the day after he should come over here, and we'll give him that talking to that I wanted to," Mrs. Weasley said.
"Now I suddenly don't want to do anything with Malfoy anymore," Aurora said, Mrs. Weasley laughed.
"Anyways, I'm done, thanks," Aurora said, as she got up after eating her toast.
"Really? Aurora are you okay? You haven't been eating a lot," Fred said, speaking for the first time.
"Hey, how's Liz? I mean she's supposed to write to me, but I think she's been too busy," Aurora said.
"She's in Canada with her parents, she hasn't written me since before she left," Fred said sadly.
"Oh, well, I'm sure she'll write soon," Aurora said and walked upstairs to her room and grabbed her parchment, ink and quill and sat at her desk. Draco's Eagle Owl, whom she called Jeeves, was sitting on her window, and pecking at the glass. Aurora giggled.
Hey Draco!
First of all, don't you have your mum and dad? Because last time I checked, they love you lots. So you can't possibly be without love.
Ron's being a prat about me dating you, so please, do your best when you come over the day after tomorrow, to become friends with him. And yes, that's mum and dads conditions.
If you want me over, you must come over the day after. Oh, how's tomorrow? I can come tomorrow, I don't have much to do anyways, just harass Ron, talk to Ginny about nonsense, get Fred or George to sneak me out of the house, they can Apparate! They're seventeen.
Oh, should I dress formally? Or casually? Oh dear, should I get you something for your late birthday? Man middle July, I'm so late. I'm such a bad girlfriend! I'm sorry I forgot!
Anyways, it's sad that I even ramble in my letters so I'll end it here. Jeeves is eating my sheets again. Really, do you feed your owl enough?
Love and annoyed at Jeeves, my sheets are new!
Aurora.
Aurora smiled as she folded the letter and put it in an envelope, writing Draco on it, all girly and pretty and doodling on the envelope. Jeeves was now perched on her shoulder, nibbling her ear, awaiting the letter so he could leave. Aurora gave in and handed him the letter, and he flew away.
"Okay tell me what it is." Ginny said walking into Aurora's room. Aurora looked at her oddly. "Don't pretend, I know you! Why aren't you eating? How do you think Draco would feel if he heard? I bet he'd fly right over here and yell at you!" Ginny said, walking over to Aurora and standing in front of her.
"I don't know what you're talking about Ginny. I'm eating normally," Aurora said, "And for your information, Draco would most definitely be here in like five seconds flat if he found out I wasn't eating right," Aurora said.
"I WAS RIGHT! You admitted it. Now tell me why," Ginny said grabbing Aurora and shaking her back and forth.
"Ginny. GINNY STOP!" Aurora said and Ginny stopped shaking her. "I don't know, I just think about, well, what happened in the grave yard. Cedric died," Aurora said.
"But he came back! He was dead for about five minutes but he's back now. So what if he's in a coma, he's alive," Ginny said frantically.
"But why couldn't I have reacted sooner? I knew it was going to happen, but I didn't do anything sooner. If I could have, he would have been hanging around, being annoying. He would have taken his Newts, maybe have won the Triwizard Tournament with Harry. Then Harry wouldn't give most of his winnings to Fred and George. And I just, I wish I could just change what happened," Aurora said.
"And if I could change what happened, I'd go back and kill Voldemort before he was even admitted to Hogwarts, no Dark Lord? No problem!" Ginny said annoyed.
"Shut up Ginny, you don't get it," Aurora said, brushing her off, and jumping down every other stair to get down stairs from her room.
"Not until you get it through your head. You. Saved. Cedric. Freaking. Diggory. You. Are. Amazing. Now. Go. Eat. A. Bloody. Freaking. Proper. Meal!" Ginny said, hitting Aurora on the back of her head with every word.
"Ouch! Did you have to hit me?" Aurora said, rubbing the back of her head as she sat down at the table.
"YES!" Ginny said, grabbing some cereal and milk and passing them to Aurora with a bowl and a spoon.
"God, happy, I'm eating," Aurora said and she shoved a huge spoon of Lucky Charms into her mouth, chewed and swallowed.
"Yes, thank you. Now keep eating, I'm watching you," Ginny said, sitting across from her.
"Oh go fawn over Harry would you," Aurora said, Ginny looked at her annoyed.
"Oh go take your bitch pill," Ginny said.
"We've done it!" Fred said apparating into the kitchen.
"You've found the cure to stop Aurora's usually bitchiness and stubbornness?" Ginny asked hopefully.
"No Ginny, I'm sorry. There is nothing that can stop that," Fred said sadly.
"Hurtful," Aurora said, George beamed.
"Here, try this," George said, shoving something in Aurora's mouth. She chewed it and swallowed.
"What is—" Aurora started hiccupping bubbles.
"It works! Its bubble candy; get out of class because of the soapy stuff!" Fred said, Aurora hiccupped.
"How—hic—do you—hic—stop this—hic" Aurora said, bubbles spewing out of her. Fred's face dropped and George just shrugged.
"Um, let it stop on its own?" George said, Aurora looked furiously at him.
"WHY—hic—would you—hic—give me—hic—this if you—hic-don't kno—hic—how to—hic—stop it!" Aurora yelled.
"Wait! Let's go ask mum," Fred said and the two wandered off to find their mum.
"Ugh, Ginny you are, and will always be my bestest friend and favorite sibling," Aurora said, plopping down in front of a tree that was near the burrow.
"Yeah, I get that a lot," Ginny said, sitting next to her, carrying half of Aurora's art supplies. "So what's the deal? You're always like, painting or drawing land scape. Your room is full of it."
"Do you want me to paint you Ginny? Oh, go sit in the field, it'll be great," Aurora said, pointing out at the filed below the little hill the tree was on.
"Okay," Ginny shrugged and went down a few feet and sat down.
"Make yourself comfy! You won't be moving for a while," Aurora yelled, setting up her easel and her little chair. She put her canvas on it and opening her jars of paint and grabbing her brush.
"Can I talk?" Ginny yelled back. Aurora looked down at her.
"You know, you could move, cause I have the scene memorized, but I preferred if you didn't, but you can talk, just don't move your mouth too much!" Aurora called back.
"Kay!" Ginny yelled. And for a couple hours Aurora sat there painting Ginny, she had decided to sketch the scene in pencil first, so Ginny could go inside and do whatever. So Aurora was left alone outside now, painting.
She was almost done and then something fell on her head. It was midday and Aurora swore as she picked up the letter off the floor and looked at Jeeves, who sat on the tree above her.
"You poop on me, I'm going to kill you!" Aurora said. Then she looked down at the letter, and saw her name written on it with a cute little heart around it. Aurora giggled and opened it carefully.
Doll,,
Yes my parents do love me, but they're my parents, I'm not going to go around snogging them now am I? No. Anyways, I've been trying to be nicer to Weasley, but he just won't stop being, well for better terminology that will not get you angry, annoyingly difficult. So I'll try to be the better man and attempt to smooth things over.
On the upside, I think Grander is starting to like me a bit… possibly, we've talked a few times, she's not bad. And Potter, well, I'll try but expect a worse fate with him than Weasley.
And about coming over tomorrow; sounds great. My parents think it's also a wonderful idea to go to your house the day after. Anyways, just dress casual formal, but I'm sure you'll look wonderful.
Another thing, I'm sorry about my owl. I don't know why, but he's been eating my sheets too. I'll make sure someone looks at him, but I think the birds mad. I'll see you tomorrow sweetie.
Draco.
P.S. How should I dress the day after?
P.S.S. No present needed. It's fine.
Aurora sighed and then took a deep breath. Then she grabbed her sketch pad, ripped a page out and grabbed one of her pencils.
Ferret,
Rawr! I hate your wacked out bird. I at my special art tree, drawing, which is why this paper is from my sketch pad, and the envelope is made by myself and is taped everywhere. Anyways, so your bird dropped the letter on my head and one of the pointy parts hit me. It hurt, I have a boo-boo, gunna get George to kiss it later.
I'm currently drawing a picture of Ginny on of my many, many canvasses. It's amazing! Not trying to be conceited or anything. I'm just good at art. Tehe. Anyways,, wow I think I say anyways a lot. But asides from that, I'm going to give you something, I actually have something ready, without noticing it. It's not amazing or grand or wonderfultastic. But it's cute.
When you come over the day after, wear um, jeans and a tee-shirt? Nothing to fancy please, don't look like a snob. Not saying that you do, but you kind of do, always wearing suits and stuff. If anything, wear a pair of pants and a button down, that's still casual… I think.
Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow! Missing you,
Aura.
Aurora, like she said she would, make a little envelope with another piece of sketch pad paper, it looked really awkward and deformed, but she didn't care. She wrote Draco's name on it quickly, not caring how messy it was, and sent it away. She finished her picture and by the time she walked inside, two trips, grabbing her art stuff, it was dark.
"Wow, that sure is nice," Mr. Weasley said, admiring the picture the girls were putting in Ginny's room.
"She's great right? Oh I love her!" Ginny said, hugging Aurora.
"Thanks dad. Do you want me to do a family portrait?" Aurora asked.
"How are you going to do a family portrait if you're not in it? Silly, anyways its dinner time. And you're going to be at Malfoy's house all day tomorrow," Mr. Weasley said, the last part was said a bit reluctantly.
"Oh, it'll be loads of fun," Aurora said, grinning and running down the stairs.
