Family Fun at the Burrow
Ginny smoothed the folds in her new lemon yellow sundress as she walked out into the backyard of the Burrow. The sun beat down from above and there was a light scent of fresh grass and lemonade on the air. Roars of laughter came from the yard, and she looked over to see Charlie, George, Ron, Dean, Seamus and Neville playing a makeshift game of Quidditch. The rest of the Weasley family was sitting with other assorted members of the now defunct Order along with the old crew from Hogwarts at makeshift picnic tables near the house. The Burrow was currently playing host to them all for the week. Ginny, along with Luna had graduated from Hogwarts a week ago, and everyone was staying for the weekend to celebrate and enjoy Mrs. Weasley's famous cooking.
Squinting, she looked for around for Hermione and Luna, whom she spotted under a Oak tree. They were farther out into the yard, watching the guys play Quidditch and making fools of themselves. She made her way towards them, but before she even sat down a slingshot of goopy dirt and tufts of grass came out of nowhere and landed all over the front of her sundress.
Ginny looked up in fury to see that the boys had foregone playing with the Quaffle, and the game had turned into a mud fight on broom. Ron was looking guiltily down at his sister.
"You idiots!' she shouted up at the airborne players. Hermione came towards her then with a most Hermione like disapproval and began telling Ron off.
'Dean brought firewhiskey' Ron slurred, trying to explain as he hovered a few feet above her. Behind him, Seamus and Dean laughed drunkenly.
'Ron you absolute prat! You just wait until I get my wand!'
Ginny looked down at her new dress and tried to wipe the mud off, but didn't have much success. She looked over at Hermione, who had sat back down with Luna and motioned that she was going to head back into the house to change.
The house was completely empty but she could hear the distant sounds of merriment continuing from outside. She made her way up the stairs and into the room muttering to herself about idiotic brothers. She threw off her dress and scoured around for her wand to cast a well-needed scourgify.
She gave up on locating it for the moment and headed into the bathroom with her soiled dress. She threw open the door, and was about ready to run the dress under the tap, when she realized that there was someone already in there sitting on the edge of the tub.
Currently working on a second chapter, but encouragement always helps! Let me know if you liked it, I know it's short.
