I never thought I'd ever be in this position. Being the only daughter of Ron Weasley and Hermione Weasley nee Granger, I pretty much thought I was invincible, no one could touch me. I mean, Merlin, my parents are two out of three of the golden trio and a major part of the defeat of the Dark Lord Voldemort. I had my family to back me up no matter the situation.

But now I'm alone and trying to find a way to survive. There are no other Weasley's to help me. Sure I got a Potter and a Malfoy to help, but the Malfoy doesn't really count. We've hated each other since the first time our eyes laid on each other on Platform 9 ¾. But they were all I got.

And now we have to save the bloody world.

Chapter 1

I pull my trunk from under my bed and throw in the first things that my fingers touch. Footsteps pound up the stairs. My arms swung around my cat and shoved him as gently as possible in the cat carrier. Archduke William Richard the Third moaned, obviously unhappy to be in his carrier again. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as the footsteps came closer.

My bedroom door bangs open and I grab my wand from my back pocket, shouting "Immaculatum frontis!" He falls unto his bottom with a pout.

"Roooose" Hugo whines, rubbing at the large red dot now placed on his forehead. "Get it off of me."

I smirk. "No. You're the one who wanted to play this dumb game anyway, now you're going to have to deal with the consequences of it."

His bottom lip juts out. "Forehead Red is not a dumb game. We finished playing like two hours ago anyway. Mum told me to tell you that we're getting ready to leave now and your luggage needs to be in the car now." Hugo looks at my mess of a suitcase and Archduke William Richard the Third hissing with his hair standing straight in his carrier and a smirk crosses his face. "Still not packed, Rosie? Mum's going to throw a fit when I tell her."

He manages to close the door before my spell reaches him, leaving a huge red circle on my door. A minute later, I hear mum screaming "Rose Nymphadora Weasley! If you are not done packing your trunk in five minutes, I swear to Merlin, we'll leave you here!"

I finish stuffing my luggage full of my essentials and run down the stairs. Mum stands at the bottom of the stairs, obviously annoyed with my procrastination. Dad stands next to mum with his around her waist and a sloppy smile plastered on his face. He steps away from her, reaches for the top of my robe and pins my badge on me.

"Don't want to forget your Prefect badge now, do we Rosie?" He smiles.

"Honestly Rose, I have no idea how McGonagall let you be a Prefect. You're worse than James when it comes to being punctual." Mum scolds. Yeah, I'm horrible with being prompt, but she obviously doesn't know how late I stay up at night and how sometimes I can't even get a minute of sleep because I've spent the whole night studying for some test or I had a rough practice with Quiditch.

With a flick and swish of her wand, Mum levitates my trunk into the car; dad following behind to make sure the car is started. He tells me that I have two minutes to make sure I have everything I need.

Hugo enters the room blemish free with a smug grin. "I found the counter spell"

"Congratulations Hugo. It's your fifth year and you just opened your textbooks for the first time in history." I say in a mock surprise tone. "I'd give you an award, if only I hadn't given Archduke William Richard the Third his last cat treat."

His face twists into a scowl and a growl escaped his lips. I back away from him, arms slightly raised to show my surrender. He charges forward and I squeal out "Hugo no!" as his arms wrap around my waist, lifting my feet off the ground and spinning me around and around until I feel like I might puke.

When he sets me down, I throw a punch in his direction. "Bloody arse."

Hugo's eyes crinkle as a huge smile crosses his face, the dimples he's had since a baby evident. "Aw com' on Rosie. You know you deserved it." He chuckles.

"Mum's going to throw a fit." I say sharply, picking up Archduke William Richard the Third's carrier. I reach the door before turning around with a smirk on my face. "By the way, your shoes are untied. Highly irresponsible and very dangerous." I scold, shaking my head in mock concern. When Hugo looks down, I flick my wand in his general direction, and he falls flat on his face.

When I sit down in the car, mum does a once over in the rear view mirror and raise her eyebrows. "Rose, your hair is absolutely atrocious. What did you guys do? Have a war?"

Hugo falls into the seat next to me, red faced. I look in the mirror to see a huge orange afro sitting upon my head. I try to brush my finger through it to calm it down, but to no avail. Eventually, I whip out my wand and use a common hair charm to flatten the monster. It straightens to a pin point, so I add a volume charm to make it slightly wavy. I can't help but notice the bags under my eyes and with a swift flick of my wand, it disappears. Dad takes a seat in the passenger and mum starts the engine.

Once reaching Kings Cross Station, Hugo sets out to find Daphne, a Beauxbatons transfer that joined Hugo's year last year. He's had the biggest crush on her since laying eyes on her. Mum and dad share a knowing look and we continue our way to the train without Hugo.

Arms wrap around my waist, squeezing with all their might. "Lily, are you sure you aren't going to try out for Quidditch this year? With your strength, you'd make an awfully fine beater." I manage to gasp out. My youngest cousin bounces in front of me, and I grab my sides.

Her eyes widen to dinner plates. Lily shakes her head. "Oh, Merlin, no. Don't you know I'm terribly afraid of heights?"

My lips tug up in the corners. "Well, so was I, Lilly. I'd rather go against the Whomping Willow than even look at a broom."

Lily crosses her arms. "I don't believe you. If you were horrible at flying, how'd you become a Chaser?"

"Practice, my dear cousin." I drape my arm around her shoulder. "And a secret between you and me? The only class I'd ever gotten a P in was my Broom Flight class." Lily chuckles at this. "I can even teach you, if you'd like." A huge smile crosses over her face and she races off to her friends.

I wave goodbye to my parents and push my way through the crowd, looking for Albus, my cousin. Honestly, he's my favorite cousin. We're in the same year, our birthdays only a few months apart. We've been close since forever practically. When I was placed in Gryffindor and him in Slytherin, I thought it would put a damper on our relationship, and Merlin was I wrong. It seemed our houses (even rival houses) couldn't change our friendship.

I make my way to Hogwarts Express and find the compartment Al and I share every year – occasionally with guests. We always talk about our expeditions for the new school year and discuss gossip we heard over the break.

I collapse in the cushioned seat, throwing my legs on the seats opposite of me. My mind drifts off to the school year and Quidditch. Mostly Quidditch. Last year Gryffindor barely lost to Slytherin, and this year I'm planning on winning by a landslide. I know since this is James last year at Hogwarts, practices will be extra-long and extremely brutal. I'm sure there will be more nights where I fall asleep while patrolling the halls this year than last year.

Now Al, he was more relaxed with the Slytherin Quidditch practices. They were definitely less intense, from what I've seen. They seemed to have more fun with Albus as the captain. I'm pretty sure Al will get some sort of award for being the youngest captain in all of Hogwarts history. I mean, Merlin, he's been captain since our first year. You'd think there'd be some sort of rule for this.

I think the only reason he can is because not only is he the son of Harry Potter, but also a carbon copy of him. The same messy black messy hair, same striking green eyes, and the same horrid eye sight. He insists on getting those muggle things… ah, contacts. He hates to where his glasses and only will in special occasions or if Gran Weasley forces him. Al still seems to be a brilliant seeker, even with his lack of eye sight.


Hey guys! I finally decided to try and write a fanfiction! I know this is really short, but I hope to make it longer later on. And I also know that was a really crappy ending. Sorry! /:
