The Girl Next Door

Chapter 1

Fred and George walked up to the front door of their new next door neighbours. Everything looked and sounded quite and peaceful. =BOOM=. Well, maybe not. A small puff of smoke erupted from one of the chimneys.

"Jessica! What in God's name was that?" a voice yelled.

"NOTHING!" someone, maybe Jessica the twins thought, screeched back.

"Banshee or teenage girl?" George asked.

"Hmm..I know which one I'd prefer." said Fred.

"Mum, where's my CD player?" a boy from inside the house yelled.

"JESSICA. What have you done to your brothers CD player?" the first voice, presumably their mother, screamed.

"Oh thanks! Every things always my fault. Your always blaming me!" Jessica screamed back.

"Young lady. You march right down here and give your brother back his CD player." A new voice shouted. It sounded like this might be Jessica's father.

"Or what's left of it." The boy yelled.

"Oh, HA HA." Jessica said, sarcastically, as she stomped down the stairs. George chose this moment to knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Jessica screamed at her parents and brother. Fred and George then heard something that sounded awfully like a pack of elephants stampeding down the hallway, but when the door opened they found only a girl standing there. The first thing they noticed about her was that she was wiping a great deal of black soot from her face, hair, hands and clothes. The second thing they noticed was that she was about the same age as them.

"Jess, why have you got soot all over you?" a boy, about 10-years-old, was at the other end of the hallway.

"It's not soot, Damien." She turned around and spoke to him forgetting about the twins standing at their front door "It's your CD player" she mumbled quietly as she turned back to face Fred and George. She obviously didn't say it quiet enough because Damien started screaming at her an instant later.

"What?!?!" he yelled before sprinting down the corridor. At that moment, a tall man stepped out of a doorway, on the side of the corridor, and grabbed Damien around the waist. A shortish woman had also appeared at the end of the hallway where Damien had been standing moments before. Jessica was now sticking her tongue out at her younger brother and dancing just out of his reach. He was struggling in his fathers arms grasping violently at the air centimetres from his sister.

"Jessica!" it was her mother.

"Yeah?" said Jessica, momentarily forgetting about her thrashing younger sibling. Her mother pointed towards the door, where the twins still stood.

"Oh..Hi" she said brightly.

"Hi, my name's Fred and this is George. We live next door to you. Our parents said we should come over and introduce ourselves." said Fred. Damien had stopped trying to kill Jessica and was looking at the twins with great interest.

"Great. My name is Jessica, you can just call me Jess or Jesse, everyone does. This is my brother Damien. My parents are John and Susan Willard." Jessica said pointing to each one of them in turn, she had now turned back to face them. But Fred and George weren't looking at her anymore. The wand her mother was holding had caught their attention.

"That's a wand." George stated, not taking his eyes off the wand.

"How do you know it's a wand? Your muggles, aren't you?" it was Jessica talking again.

"No, we thought you were muggles." George replied shifting his gaze so he was looking her in the eye. She was ecstatic.

"I can't believe it. I didn't think there would be any magical people anywhere around here. But then I find two of them living next door to me."

"Not two, seven." said Fred, he didn't sound very happy about this,

"And there used to be more." George added.

"What?" she asked, looking confused.

"Well, there's Mum and Dad. The youngest is Ginny, then Ron. Then us, and Percy's two years older than us. Bill and Charlie have already left home." Fred explained "So you see, there's seven of us now, but there used to be nine."

"Oh, right. And I thought I was hard-done-by with one!" Jess said, before she had to quickly dodge another violent onslaught by Damien. Her mother cleared her throat warningly at the end of the hall. Just then they heard a frightened yell come from the Burrow, the slam of a door, the sound of someone sprinting down a flight of stairs while constantly yelling "MUM, THEY PUT SPIDERS IN MY SOCKS! MUM THEY PUT SPIDERS IN MY SOCKS!".

"Ahhh..." Said Fred, sounding uneasy.

"That would be our charming brother, Ron." George informed the Willard family, as Ron began to bellow "WHERE ARE THEY? I'M GONNA KILL THEM!!! WHERE ARE THEY?". The whole family was now crowded in the doorway, looking with interest at the Weasley's house. "CALM DOWN RON! THEY'RE VISITING THE NEW NEIGHBOURS!" Mrs Weasley yelled back at him.

"That would be Mum." Said Fred.

A new voice now joined in "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CONCENTRATE ON MY REPORT ON STANDERDISING THE RESALE OF USED WANDS WITH YOU YELLING LIKE A BANSHEE THAT HAS STUBBED IT'S TOWE?!".

"And that's Percy." Stated George.

"HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF THEY PUT SPIDERS IN YOUR SOCKS?" Ron yelled in retaliation.

"Let me guess. 'they' would be you two, right?" Jess asked the twins, who nodded simultaneously. They all heard the slamming of the front door of the Burrow and saw two red headed figures cross the front garden and walk out of the gate.

"Ron, let me handle this." Mrs Weasley told a positively fuming Ron, who was now walking behind her with his arms crossed. They were making their way up the front path of the Willard house.

"Ahhh.. Mum." Fred said.

"How.er.nice to see you." George added. Both of them were cringing, faced with the fury of their mother.

"HOW DARE YOU! YOU KNOW VERY WELL YOUR BROTHERS PETRIFIED OF SPIEDERS. YOUR BOTH GROUNDED!!!" Mrs Weasley yelled at her two sons, who visibly flinched as she started yelling.

"Mum, there's only one problem." George said timidly.

"Oh, and what would that be?" she asked acidly.

"Well.we're already grounded" Fred reminded her.

"Well..then..your..just..." Mrs Weasley began, having absolutely no idea how she was going to finish the sentence. "DOUBLE GROUNDED" she finished triumphantly. There was a brief silence before Mrs Weasley noticed the family watching intently.

"Oh, Hello." She said brightly, having a massive mood swing "My name is Molly Weasley, this is my son Ron and two of his brothers Fred and George who you have just met." She said the last bit stiffly, accompanied by an evil stare in the twins direction.



AN: Please make my day and review. I would really appreciate it (even if it's one word (eg. Good, Bad)it would be much appreciated). Thank you, Drama Queen.
