Rose's POV

What the absolute bloody hell is that noise?

Let me tell you, waking up in a house filled with at least twenty to thirty people, you expect to wake up to some strange, obscure sound. But nothing like that wailing.

I sit up in my bed and rub the sleep out of my eyes.

Last day of summer, I think to myself as I look around the room that I've shared with my cousins Lily, Lucy and Roxanne for the last week.

You see at the end of the summer the entire Weasley/Potter family comes and stays at the Burrow for a week. Well all of us except Teddy, Victorie, Dom and James. They're all working and couldn't make it for the whole week but I'm sure we'll see them tonight at dinner for a last goodbye until Christmas.

The wailing starts up against as I climb out of my bed, once I recognize it I go to the source and bang on the door of the bathroom across the hall. "Hurry up in there Al," the sings stops as I continue. "I want to shower before breakfast."

"I'll make it fast Rosie, don't get your panties in a knot." He sings back.

Lovely isn't he? I mean I love the boy to death and all, but honestly sometimes….

I go back to my shared room and wait on the bed until the shower is free and start rereading Advanced Potion Making. Halfway through the passage about amortentia, my little cousin Lily walks into the room. Well, maybe I shouldn't say 'little' cousin, since she's taller than me. I'm a small five foot three inches while she's at least five foot six. A year younger than me and has a good three inches on me.

Lily walks in towel drying her long, perfect, wavy chestnut hair. Her hair is stunning compared to my straight, auburn hair. Mine is so boring where and hers...isn't. She throws her towel down and starts changing, "Upstairs shower is open. Not much longer though, I think Freddy just woke up."

"Thanks Lil," I grab my towel and smile at her on the way out.


I walk down the stairs taking two at a time, the smell of Grandma's cooking making my mouth water. As I reach the bottom of the stairs Mum yells out to me, "Post just came Rosie. Georgie sent you a letter," Mum comes over to me and plants a kiss on my forehead. "I left it on the coffee table."

"Thanks Mum," I take the cup of coffee from her hands she's offering me and go to the livingroom for my letter, almost tripping over Lil and Hugo on the floor playing exploding snap.

I set me cup down and begin reading Georgie's letter, I didn't realize how much I missed her until I opened the letter and remember the last time I spoke to her was well over three weeks ago.

Rose,

Can't believe our sixth year starts tomorrow, and we finished our bloody OWL's. How'd you do on those by the way, all O's I'm guessing. Claire and I actually have a bet on it, she thinks you got at least an E in Defense. I guess I've just more faith in you. Speaking of, Claire's been at my house for the past two weeks, I guess she wants me to take out that part about me having more faith in you. I do have faith in you Rose, its just no one can get all O's right? Rose can Claire, her mum is Hermione Granger after all. I'd ask you how your summer was but I'm going to find out tomorrow anyway.

Lucas and I broke up last Sunday, said his parents weren't happy with his OWL's and somehow its my fault. Said having a girlfriend like me is too 'distracting'. What does that even mean, 'a girlfriend like me'. His loss anyway, I guess I saw it coming though. Things haven't been too great with us, haven't even seen him all summer. Claire is still lonely as ever. Am not Georgina! That was Claire, obviously, I guess she isn't so lonely. Wonder who her little boy-toy is that she isn't telling us about.

Claire wants to know which NEWT classes you're taking, neither of us are sure if we should continue with Herbology. It just seems too tedious now. Say hello to your mum and dad for us!

See you tomorrow,

Georgie and Claire

I smile at the familiar,small banter obviously going on between Georgie and Claire. I'm sure the two of them living together is fun, but Merlin the fits that those two can get into around each other. The three of us are best friends, but still. Speaking of best friends, Roxanne comes and flops down next to me on the couch as I finish putting the letter from Georgie and Claire back into the envelope.

"Had to wait an entire thirty minutes for your little brother to finish showering this morning, I did." Roxanne huffs, a strand of her curly dark brown almost black hair going up with her exhale of air. "Why does it take the boys so long to shower in the morning, its not like they've got much hair to wash or anything." I laugh at Roxanne's obvious annoyance. I pick up my cup of now warm coffee and take a sip.

I'm half listening to Roxanne talk about 'how smelly our cousins are for how often they shower' as Al comes into the living to announce that breakfast in ready.


"Damn muggles," I mutter under my breath as another muggle bumps into me and almost sends my cart flying. I send that particular muggle a dirty look and come to a halt with the rest of my family in between platforms nine and ten. Lily goes first, followed by Hugo, Lucy, Al, Roxanne and Freddy. Finally its my turn and I run at full speed into the wall.

I'm always afraid that one day I won't end up on platform 9 3/4 and instead in a coma in a bed at St. Mungo's, but thankfully today isn't that day and I end up walking onto the platform and starring up and the big scarlett train. I look around for Roxanne, Al and Freddy and see them talking to Al and Fred's best friend at the end of the train. I make my way down there after saying goodbye to Mum and Dad, who are both starting to tear up. You'd think after six years of this they'd get used to this.

"Hey guys," I say as I walk up to the group. So I know before I said Georgie and Claire were my best friends, but honestly I don't know what I would do without these people. They're my family but so much more and I would choose them over anyone any day. (Sorry Claire and Georgie.) They all return smiles but their listening to Scorpius' story of his summer in Greece. I roll my eyes, of course everyone's attention is centered on him. Not that I need to be the center of attention but this guys just always seems to have at least five people's attention at once. While I'm trying to keep my best 'bored' look on my face, I practically get jumped onto the ground.

"Rosie!" An almost annoyingly high voice is screeching into my ear. My cart's contents is now all over the floor and my grey owl Dumpty is squeaking in his cage that turned on its side.

"Hey Georgie," I say, standing up and rubbing a now sore spot on my head. I give her a lopsided smile as she wraps her arms around me. Her thick brown hair getting in my mouth and making me cough. She steps back her beautiful smile is plastered on her face, I swear I don't know how she smiles that big. It honestly looks like it hurts.

"We missed you so much!" We? Oh right there's Claire. She standing behind Georgie, looking almost tucked into her self, her thin blonde hair pulled into a loose bun at the nap of her neck. She smiles slightly and squeaks out a 'hey' before helping pick up my things.

If you can't tell already, Georgie is much more outgoing out of the three of us. She's also loud, very very loud. She's muggleborn too, but you wouldn't know it because she knows more wizard history than just about anyone. Georgie's chocolate brown curly hair frames her face perfectly and falls just bellows her shoulders. Her dark skin contrasts beautifully with her bright green eyes too.

Claire is originally from America, some place on the east coast of it. Boston, Massachusetts I think. Both her parents went to Hogwarts so when it came time for her to go to school they decided to send her here, instead of the American wizarding school. I think she gets homesick more than any of us because she really only sees her parents during the summer, I guess she's really close with her mum, dad and little brother Gary so its a bit hard for her. She's very quiet as well, one of those people who doesn't say much but when they do its either very funny or intelligent. Plus she's one of the most beautiful people I know, she got these beautiful clear blue eyes and this long blonde hair. Although you wouldn't know it because its always in a bun or pulled up into a pony tail.

We exchange quick summer stories and then the last whistle blows for loading the train. I turn around to find Mum and Dad and wave goodbye to them."Well I'll see you guys at the feast," I wave goodbye to Georgie and Claire and they walk onto the train to find a carriage for themselves.

Its not that I don't want to sit with them on the train, its just become a tradition to sit with family on the way to Hogwarts. Scorpius joined the tradition somewhere in the last six years. Al, Roxanne, Freddy, Scorpius and I go the opposite direction of Georgie and Claire onto the train. Just as we sit down and our trunks are stowed overheard, the train starts to move.

Hey guys, hope you liked the first chapter! Again, all opinions you have about it are MUCH appreciated, negative or positive.
