Hello! This is my first fic for this fandom, actually a first published one. I would appreciate it, if you would leave a review, and let me know if you liked it :)
Prologue
"And, Roxanne Weasley caught the snitch! 150 points for Gryffindor! With this Gryffindor wins with Slytherin 340 to 160! GRYFFINDOR WINS THE QUIDDITCH CUP! " commentator Kevin Jordan announced a winner of the match, whereas all players were landing around Roxanne holding who was holding a golden snitch. A moment later all Gryffindor house and a couple of friends from other houses met in the common room of lions and started a party. When the party was going strong, Ariana along with Dom and Rox was resting near a table with firewhiskey in hand, drinking it unashamedly.
"Don't drink this much, or your brain will evaporate!" Dom shouts to her however Ariana wasn't listening because she was looking through the crowd in the common room in search of messed-up black haired boy. When she finally found him, he was snogging a girl named Taylor in front of fireplace, without paying attention to people around them.
I want to be that girl… she thought, as a shocking expression dawned upon her face. She let go of a glass she was holding, and let it shatter on the floor spilling the rest of her drink. However nobody paid attention to her actions, so when her hair changed colors from gold to red, she just repaired the shattered glass, bid goodbye to Roxy, and went back to her dorm in Ravenclaw quite sober. Taking a shower she repeated the word no as many times as possible.
"Arie, is everything okay?! You're sitting under that shower almost an hour now!"
"I'm coming out…" looping the towel around her, she got her wand and performed a drying spell on her hair. After going out, Dom raised a brow at the ends of her hair.
"Red? Are you serious?"
"What's so strange? I cheered for Gryffindor."
"There's a reason you're not in that house, darling"
"Because I'm not courageous?" she asked her friend.
"No. It's because the red is totally not your color!" At this both of them burst out laughing, while Ariana got dressed up in her pajama, and they both fallen asleep on their respective beds.
"So you can keep me, inside the pocket of your ripped jeans…"
"Ed Sheeran? Girl, you really know how to wake me up." Dom groaned and looked through the empty 5th year girl dorm. "Which hour is it? And what day?"
"It's 9:30am" the strawberry-blonde made a petrified face, and Ariana burst out laughing" and it is Sunday, so there's no lessons."
"Oh, that actually makes sense. You're singing."
"Dress up princess, we're going to breakfast." She says, changing her hair color to cold blue in the mirror and hurrying her friend along. Making their down to breakfast, both of them sat on the Gryffindor table beside Roxy and opposite James and Fred.
"Where's your girlfriend Jamesie?" questioned veela.
"Probably can't walk" Dom choked on her toast, while Ariana spilled her milk while pouring it.
"Holy shit!"
"Eww, I don't need details of your sex life" said Roxy
"Jamesie is lying." Says Fred quietly laughing at Ariana "He said something offending to her while telling her a joke, so he didn't get much action."
"That's disgusting Fred." Says Rachel, as she sits with girls. Fred looked ashamed and shut up momentarily "What the heck you said to her?"
"Probably some joke about blondes." Said Roxy
"So, why aren't you telling it here now?" urged him Ariana. She needed a good laugh now. And apparently, James needed some cheering up.
"A blonde comes to Leaky Cauldron, and before her appears a wall to Diagon Alley. They both stand there, facing each other. After a while the wall crumbles before the girl. Why? A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will." When he ended, everyone around James burst out laughing, automatically making his day better.
"I don't understand that girl. Jokes about blondes are classic, hell even Aunt Fleur laughs at them!" Ariana says taking a few pancakes for her. Then Fred looked at her mischievously and asked :
"Waffles or pancakes?"
"Waffles, of course."
"Then why take pancakes when you can eat waffles?"
"Because someone already ate all the waffles." She glared at James who only blushed a little and went back to consuming his portion of waffles. "Looks like I'll need to make some myself later in the kitchens."
"Oh yes, Ariana's home cooked waffles!" shouted excited Rei, when boys looked at her quizzically.
"They can't be better than these done by Nana or the elves here." Says Fred at her.
"Ah, but they are, brother of mine. " the dark skinned boy just groaned at his sister choice of words.
"You must be joking right now. There's no way I could pass the occasion to taste them now, right Freddie?" he just nodded energetically, and when Ariana ended her pancakes and stood up, they followed her out of the Great Hall. While going to the stairs, they met Taylor and when the girl spotted James with his cousins and friends, she made her way to them and started kissing James in front of them. When they finally ended their session, he only murmured something that sounded like Go without me, that made Fred pull out a really disgusted expression and hurry into the kitchens ahead of his friends. When the girls where ahead of James and his girlfriend Ariana took Dom sleeves pulling her behind Roxy and Rei.
"Dom"
"Hmmm?"
"I think I'm going to bake something more than waffles."
The veela looked at her best friend, and noticed her hand were shaking. Yet, she remained silent. Two hours later Fred, Rei and Roxy made the way to their Gryffindor common room with full stomachs' and bags full of cookies, waffles and brownies for five people. The girls went straight to their dorm, and Fred went to the dorm he shared with James. Laying dark-haired boy double portion on the bedside table, brown eyes widened with fear when he saw the mount of sweets in front of him.
"What is this?!"
"Your portion is double, since you preferred to snog your stupid blonde girlfriend, instead of hanging out with your family and friends. I suggest you start with waffles, they're on the top of this Mount Sweetserest." The ginger haired boy turned on his heel and dropped his share on his table, leaving stunned James on his own. He takes a waffle from the top, somehow still perfectly decorated. The only heard thing was his chewing and the words It's really better than the one Nana does.
1 month later, in Hogwarts Express.
"Can I sit with you?" asks James as he opens the door to the compartment when sits Fred, Roxy, Dominique and Ariana. On the floor were laying a lot of photos from this school year. Girls laughed loud as Ariana danced with Roxy to an song that played from wPod and Dom watched the pictures, while Rachel was with her boyfriend in another compartment.
"That depends. If you're gonna dump us again in the middle of the ride, I have no intention of sharing with you these delicacies. What about your girlfriend?"
"There's waffles?" he asked, while Freddie only grinned. " I'm staying. Besides, she's not my girlfriend."
After a while James was eating his fourth waffle watching photos. Dom joined dancing girls, when the song was a little slower. Holding in his hand a picture of him and Ariana, he heard one of the girl singing along to the song.
"And how can you be,
Too blind to see,
The girl that stands before you,
Who wants you more than anything?
Just shut up and love me…"
While Dom started squealing with excitement, Ariana stopped singing completely petrified of what she'd done. She never sings when there are other people, except Dom with her. While the singer ended the song and the next track started playing, Ariana was so embarrassed and such a mess that she started to making herself into a ball, with really crazy looking red hair.
"You could be a Weasley with this color of hair" Roxy started laughing at her friend and somehow Ariana started feeling better "I always wondered why don't you sing more. You're great!"
"Ugh, no I'm not. I'm sorry you needed to hear my screeching. I think James has become deaf."
"What? Ah, nothing… Dom, can I take this picture?"
"Which one? Oooh, sure" blue-eyed girl smiled "I even have a copy of it!"
"Why do you have two the same pictures?" he asked suspiciously.
"That's a secret you moron. I don't tell my secrets." She told him in advance. James only shrugged and shoved the photo into his pocket.
"Arie, where are you heading to your granddad?" asked Roxy
"He picks me up, actually. Then we're headed to portkey that take us to Poland."
"Wait, you're going to Poland?! That means you're going to That gradfather?!" Dom shouted
"Wait, which one is it again?" asked Freddie and James.
"Honestly, boys. We're talking about Josef Wronski who…"
"MADE A WRONSKI FEINT?!" Fred shouted "Holy shit! Are you serious?!"
"No, James is. Did you forgot?" joked Ariana "You could already forgot, but I remember telling you that my mum is from Poland and that her dad played quidditch."
"And you're going to spend a whole month there… I'm jealous. I would actually love to meet all your Polish family, right Dom?"
"You don't even know Polish that well Roxy. I'm pretty sure you only know a few curses." Dom laughed at her.
"I can't help to remember them all! There's just SO MUCH of them."
"Well, I could always ask." Says Ariana laughing at her friends.
When the train stopped at platform 9 ¾ Ariana immediately started searching for her grandfather in the crowd of strangers.
"Dziadku!"
"Tu jesteś Ariana!" the girl jumped into the arms of the elderly man. "Miałem prawdziwy problem z dostaniem się na ten peron. Twoja matka krzyknęła tylko 9 ¾! Szalona kobieta."
"Cóż, to cała ona. Powiedz, mogę cię komuś przedstawić? Kiedy dowiedzieli się że spędzę u ciebie miesiąc zaczęli wpraszać się na obiad." Josef laughed "Tylko oni nie mówią po Polsku…"
"Nie przejmuj się, mój angielski is perfect!"
"Attention please!" Ariana called to her friends " I'm presenting to you the discoverer of The Wronski Feint, and my charming grandfather! Dziadku, this is James Sirius Potter, Fred Weasley II and his twin sister Roxanne, and Dominique Weasley. And everyone are a family, there much more of them. It takes a while to remember them all. Oh, there's Rei!" she pointed at a brunette making her way towards them "That's Rachel Raerie."
"Is that a waffle made by Ariana?" Josef looked at a untouched waffle that James held in his hands. He only nodded, still in amazement. " You probably want to eat this right, there's no way you could give it to elderly old man? It's just, my wife don't want to give me any kind of sweets in my old age… but I'm addicted to waffles made by my baby girl." At his speech everyone laughed and talked for awhile, when Josef announced that they needed to go, unless they wanted to be late for their portkey. He taken Ariana's luggage into one hand, and her hand into his other, and disapparated to the place where the portkey waited. Holding and old lamp, she started to think. It'll be one month until she comes back to Godric's Hollow and be with her friends again. One month to collect these thoughts.
