When I was little, I realized in my huge family, doing magic wouldn't get me in trouble. The Ministry's Marvelous Magic Tracker does not say exactly who did it, so with my magical parents, and magical siblings, no one has ever gotten me in trouble for doing magic.
I could do magic, but I didn't do it too often. Firstly because, I'm perfectly content just being able to go out on my broom and shoot quaffles. Second, my dad works at the Ministry, but he doesn't get a lot of money. And third, my mom, is all about rules, and she's everywhere at all times, so no practicing magic.
But now, I guess it's high time I introduced myself. I have 7 siblings. Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George, Ron, and Ginny. Ginny is my twin sister (older by 3 minutes), and like the rest of my family has red hair. The two of us are actually really similar, except the fact that we look like we came from two different families. I have dirty blonde hair like my grandma Cedrella, and blue eyes like my dad. Ginny however has the signature Weasley red hair, and brown eyes. My parents are Arthur and Molly. Oh, and my name is Jilliana, but everyone calls be Jill.
Anyway, I was just taking a jog around the house, because I couldn't sleep when I heard it. First, it was a distant rattling noise, but the clanking came closer and closer. I finally looked up and saw dad's flying Ford Anglia barreling towards the house. I just stood there gaping, until the car was basically hovering over me. I realized that the steering must have been off and dove out of the way. As soon the car touched the ground, it spluttered groaned, and let off gas from the back.
As I was standing up, Fred and George climbed out and started trying to push the blue car to the back of the house. There were two other people in the back of the car. I squinted and saw my youngest older brother, Ron, and a boy with black hair. Ron and the black-haired boy climbed out too, and started to help push the car, it didn't look like they were making a difference though.
"Jill, come here and help, will you?" Ron hollered at me.
I snorted and strutted over.
"Let me think." I said putting my finger on my chin, "Should I help my annoying, older brothers get out of trouble when they could have taken me wherever in a flying car." I pretended to think about it for a minute and smirked, "I don't think so."
"Do you know who this is?" Ron asked pointing to the boy.
"It's obviously your BFF, Mr. Potter." Then I turned to Harry and waving said, "Hi, I'm Jill.
He waved back and said, "Harry, but you already knew that."
I think he rolled his eyes a little.
"Ugh, you're so annoying." Ron said like I didn't divert my attention at all.
"Aww, thank you!" I said to Ron ruffling his hair. Either way, I shook my head, and helped push the car to the back.
It had gotten much brighter outside so we all had to rush into the house when the car was in place. Trust me, my mom is not someone you want to mess with.
Fred and George hooked their arms around both of mine, and said, "Don't worry little sis, we'll take on a ride tomorrow." (that was George)
Then Fred said, "If you beat us at a Quidditch match." the older twins then ran into the house.
I was in no rush though, I was out for a jog, not flying in a car. I did another two laps around the house to just get a little sweaty so it didn't look I knew anything about the twins' newest mishap.
I went into the house and saw Harry sitting at the table staring at Ron, Fred, and George were getting a stern talking to. Apparently, I was more interesting than a flying car, because everyone turned to look at me when I walked in.
"And where have you been young lady?" Mom hollered at me.
"Oh, I was just, um, taking a jog." I muttered looking at my feet, "I couldn't sleep."
"Oh, alright then sweetie. Next time, you wake me up."
"Okay."
"Can you go and wake up your brother and sister for me then?"
"Sure, mum." I said and walked upstairs throwing a wink in Harry's direction. I saw him grin at me from the corner of my eye as I went up to wake up my siblings. I went to Percy's first and pounded my fist on his door. Percy walked out less than two seconds later and walked down without sparing me a second glance. I rolled my eyes at him and his awfully business-like clothes. I then walked to my shared bedroom with Ginny and walked in. I grabbed her pillow out from under her head and started smacking her with it.
She woke up groaning, and threateningly said to me, "I'm so going to kill you."
I laughed and kept hitting her, she groaned even louder and grabbed another pillow off her bed and hit me too. After about ten minutes, we were laughing our hearts out, and lying on our beds panting trying to catch our breaths. We didn't even notice Ron or Harry walk into our room until Ron started stating his food complaints.
"What are you to still doing here? Mom made me stop eating to come get you!" Ron grunted at us.
And that started yet another fit of laughter for the both of us until Ginny saw who was standing beside their brother. Her eyes widened and she blushed lightly. Harry smiled at us though. Boys, they were so delusional. I rolled my eyes at the two and decided that I would make a bet with one of my many brothers. The two of them would be dating by the time Ginny turned sixteen. We walked done the stairs then and sat at the table. Mom handed Ginny and I a plate of bacon and eggs, she had yet to stop blushing."
"When are we going to Diagon Alley, Mom?" Ginny asked.
"Today." The twins chorused behind us.
I took one look at them and smirked. George then proceeded to play with my hair in a way he knew I hated.
"When are we having this little Quidditch match?" I asked the twins.
"Tomorrow." They said.
"How many people do I get?"
"One." They responded.
"Okay, then Ginny, would you do me the great honor of being on my Quidditch team at high noon tomorrow."
"Sure, but only if I get to chase." Ginny said to us.
"If that is what you wish." I retorted sarcastically. "Then your heart will shatter, but you will still play."
"Why do I always have to keep?" Ginny groaned.
"Shush, my bet, my decision."
"That reminds me…" George started.
"What…" Fred continued.
"Do we…"
"Get for…"
"This…"
"Bet?" they said together.
"Absolutely nothing." Ginny and I said back to them at the same time.
Then Ginny whispered to me, "Whatever this is, I want in on it too."
"Fred and George are going to take us out in the car, because that's how they picked up Harry last night." I whispered back, noting the way she blushed when I mentioned Harry.
Ginny nodded with still pink cheeks.
"Girls, why don't you go get dressed. We'll be leaving soon."
We nodded and the two of us got up and went to our room. We were going to be getting our wands today, and I was beyond excited. Mom even said that we could both get new robes because we were the only girls. I slipped into my only pair of leggings and a gray t-shirt. The shirt wasn't very appealing but Charlie gave me his old Quidditch jacket last year for my birthday, so I just wore that on top. It was obviously red and gold, with WEASLEY emblemized on the back.
I went downstairs and saw everyone waiting by the Floo as Mom explained to Harry how it worked. I tuned her out until she was done, and watched as Fred, George, and Dad all vanished in the green flames.
"Harry, you go now, alright." Mom said to him.
Harry nodded and grabbed some powder, threw it in the flames, and stepped in.
He coughed and said, "Diagonal Ly!"
I snorted, and Ron and Ginny grim faced turned to me.
"Sorry, sorry, jeez. I'll go next."
I walked to the fireplace, did the whole process, and whispered, "Knockturn Alley." You just had to be clear, not loud.
When I got there, Harry was hovering in the fireplace covered in ash and grime. He looked beautiful. I grinned at that and held a finger to my lips. A man and boy with platinum blonde hair were talking to the person behind the counter. I looked around and saw a sign that said Borgin and Burkes. I crept out of the fireplace and Harry followed behind. I scrambled to get into a big cabinet as Harry squeezed in next to me. I looked at him and smiled.
"Well, isn't this fun." I said to him saccharinely.
He snorted and hastily covered his mouth with his hand as we tried to listen to what the blondes were saying to Mr. Borgin or Mr. Burke. The boy and man finally left the store, and Harry and I crept out into the only slightly more dangerous Alley. Harry and I started walking out of the Alley, and a woman leered at us.
"Not lost are you, dearies?" she said at us.
"We're fine, thanks." Harry said back.
I smiled at him trying to protect me. When we looked ahead, there was Hagrid. His booming voice echoed all around the Alley.
"Harry, Jilliana! What d'yeh think yer doin' down there?" Hagrid asked us.
"We got lost." Harry mumbled back sighing.
"Uh, uh. Harry got lost, I found him, then we were trapped and had to sneak out." I corrected.
We walked out of the Alley as Harry asked Hagrid, "What were you doing here?"
"I was lookin' fer Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent."
We stepped out of the dingy Alley and ran into one of Harry's friends, Hermione Granger.
