Changes

"UGGGGGHH".

The door slamming echoed through the small house. "MUMMM!" two startled voices yelled from the back rooms. A Boy around the age of 14 ran out of his room, his red hair was ruffled and rather unkempt. He was immediately followed by a young lady with auburn hair falling around her in loose curls. Both children met in the hallway sharing a brief glance they took off towards the kitchen. "Mum? Are you alright?" the auburn haired girl asked. "I'm Fine Rosie; it's just been a long day," said a rather frazzled looking Hermione Weasley. Rose looked generally concerned, "You've been really stressed a lot recently mum." Hermione smiled and patted her daughter's shoulder. "I assure you," she said with a smile, "Everything is quite alright. Hugo darling will you open the window? It looks as though we have a guest."

The boy named Hugo ran excitedly back into kitchen waving two envelopes, "Look!" Catching the one he tossed at her Rose eagerly ripped it open.

Ms. Rose Weasley,

I am pleased to inform you of your place at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed in this letter are a prefects badge and your list of required supplies. Term will start September 1st, please endeavor to arrive on time with the entire enclosed list.

Filius Flictwick

Deputy Headmaster

Rose grinned at her mother "I'm a Prefect!" she giggled, "What's today's date?" Rose wheeled around to look at the enchanted calendar on the wall. "AUGUST 30th! Mum, the letters are late!" She cried. Hermione smiled a small smile, "Don't worry Rosie, I got Uncle Harry to pick up all your stuff based off Albus' list. I expected a little trouble. Hugo, Harry also has bought yours. The whole family is coming over tonight, so he will be delivering then."

Rose eyed her mother curiously, "You were expecting it?"

"I said don't worry about it Rose. Now go get cleaned up so you can help me start on supper."

Rose noted her mother's look and quickly retreated to the washroom. 'Mum is acting strange' she gleamed. Tying back her hair and washing her hands she put the thoughts behind her.

A quick knock on the door and suddenly the house was full of red heads. From George and his gang to Molly and Arthur, every single last one. Rose found herself being squeezed none to gently by her younger cousin Lily. "Rosie, Oh Rosie. I've Missed you so much. I haven't seen you since Mother and I went to France. I have so much to tell you, It was Absolutely perfect. You would've loved the tower. The fashion was really what got me , oh it was amazing. It's a pity you wont wear makeup more often." She continued Rambling on, but Rose hadn't heard a word, she was too busy scouting.

"That's really wonderful Lily, I'm glad you had such a great time. I'm going to go outside for some air, I'll catch up with you later . Okay?"

With that being said she walked away from a rather put-out looking Lily Potter, and made her way outside . A young man with black hair turned around when he heard a noise and smiled, "Hey Rosie". Rose looked at the rather disheveled looking man. Albus was almost a spitting image of his father. Her mother always told her that they were exactly the same, but Rose doubted that. "Hey Al."

"Having a good summer holiday?" He asked quietly.

"About the same, and you?" Rose responded.

"Same."

Albus smiled and looked up at the stars, he looked over at his cousin and smiled. Rose and Albus had always had a special bond, but being in the same year and in the same house helped. They could talk and trust each other and be loud and crazy, but the best thing had always been what they shared at family events, they could also share a companionable silence.

The silence broken by Rose, "Albus, Have you ever gotten your acceptance letter late?" she asked.

"No. Why?"

"No Reason, just curious." She shook it off.

One way or another Rose knew she was going to get down to the bottom of this , and the longer she could Albus out of it the better or soon they would be going straight towards expulsion.

A/N- I know it's a little short, but I'm new and pretty eager to get this started. The next part will most definitely be longer .
