I heaved my trunk off my bed and it fell to the floor with a thump… ugh I had no upper body strength, hence I play seeker. I was heading back to Hogwarts tomorrow. My mom and Dad aka Ginny and Harry Potter were out getting groceries, leaving me and Albus to pack up our stuff. James graduated from Hogwarts last year, and was now going into an auror training program, but until the training was complete he had to live here, ha loser.
I turned to my full length mirror, I sighed, I hadn't grown at all this summer, I still stood at my tiny five ft tall. I had a really petite build. My hair had certainly grown though, now my inky black waves reached my waist.
My big green eyes were the exact shade of my father's, which were thickly fringed in really dark long lashes, which eliminates my need for eye makeup. I inherited my mother's little pixie nose and famous Weasley freckles. My lips were naturally a really dark shade of red. And my pearly whites were nice and straight (thanks to my Aunt Hermione and her teeth maintaining charms).
I was wearing a tied died t-shirt, a pair of worn light wash shortie shorts, a couple threaded necklaces with hand blown glass beads on them (me and my brother James made them this summer), and my red low top converse that were completely decked out with awesome little doodley things. Like my left shoe was named Phineas, so across the shoe toe read PHINEAS in thick black sharpie. My right shoe was named Bruce so across my left shoe toe read BRUCE in fat blue sharpie letters. All my mates had left a little design on my lovely red converse, but that was another story for another time.
"Checking your self out Lilypop?" My brother James laughed.
"Merlin James, KNOCK!"
"Woah there Lils, I was just kidding around," James reasoned his eyes lit with humor, he plonked himself down on my bed.
James was a pretty handsome kid I suppose, all the girls liked him. His black hair was all curly, his eyes were hazel like my grandpa's James were apparently and they were really pretty, his nose was nice and straight, he had a charming smile, he had a few freckles across his cheeks, he was really tall, about 6 ft 5, and was pretty buff. He was a really nice kid, and he was really funny, but he annoyed the crap out of me.
"What ever,"
"Excited for yer fifth year?" James asked with genuine curiosity.
"I guess so," I murmured sitting down at the foot of my bed, looking at the lines in the wood flooring.
"Pissed you didn't get prefect?" James asked sarcastically.
I looked over at him with eyebrows raised, I wasn't really a bad kid, but in no way was I goody two shoes. Really none of us Potter children were, we all had to much Weasley prankster in us and a Potter sense of adventure.
James chuckled.
"Your still trying for the team though right?" he asked.
I snorted "Obviously, just because Albus is the all high and mighty Gryffindor Team Captain doesn't mean I'm not trying out, I mean seriously James, I've been on the team since my second year."
"Good, the team would suck without your righteous presence," James said with mock admiration.
"Plonker," I growled and through a pillow at his head.
James caught the pillow and set it back behind his head and grinned widely at me.
I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Ah, I cant believe I'm not going back this year," James mused.
"I can," I said happily.
"You're not going to miss me?" James asked playing all hurt.
"Nope," I said popping the P.
James laughed and reached up and mussed up my hair. I swatted his hand away.
"Don't worry Albus will still be there to ward off all those admirers,"
I scoffed "Albus will be to busy looking at himself in the mirror to pay attention to my love life."
James got all quite but he knew it too. Albus was a self centered arrogant prick, but hey he was our brother.
It was then that the all mighty Albus decided to grace us with his presence.
"Speak of the devil," I grumbled.
Sure Albus was really handsome too (or so I've been told by every girl at Hogwarts), he had big brown eyes, he was naturally really pale and didn't have any freckles, him and James had the same charming smile, his black hair was gelled into a funky foe hawk, and he wore these really kick ass glasses (of course I would never tell him I liked them, I mean NO ONE needs to give him an ego boost) they had really wide square like lens and thick black plastic frames, they were kinda vintage. He was like 6ft tall and was lankier then James but he wasn't a scrawny beans.
He always dressed really trendy, with his skinny jeans and converse of every color and style.
Albus just glowered threateningly at me and said "Did you steal my red jeans?"
"Albus I don't know if you have noticed but you are ten times bigger then me, why on earth would I steal your jeans!?"
Albus turned his glare to James.
James chuckled and said "Mate, I don't like my jeans skin tight, I need more room for my-"
I covered my ears with my hands and began singing the abc's… I mean really… I didn't need to hear that.
I heard James roar with laughter and uncovered my ears, Albus was looking down at me with an amused expression which was instantly exchanged for a scowl.
"Well my red skinny jeans are still missing,"
"Your such a girl Albie," I groaned.
"Shut up midget," he fired back.
"Merlin! You two stop fighting! Albus go check downstairs," James cut us off.
Albus glared at me before turning and stalking out.
"Stupid git," I hissed.
"He is so angstY," James laughed.
"I really don't want to go to the burrow tonight," I grumbled.
"Aww c'mon Lils, it's the last night of summer, we always go to the burrow," James reasoned, but he knew it was moot, mum and dad would make me go regardless.
You know I don't think any one really realizes how many blooming Weasleys there are. We breed like rabbits! There is an entire clan of us!
Introducing the younger generation:
Teddy Lupin aka my dad's godson and my best friend. Teddy's grandma died when he was three and then my dad got custody of him. Teddy was all tall and ruggedly handsome. He was about 25 now. Him and my psychotic cousin Vic had a nasty break up a few years back. But I mean honestly that woman was insane! She was all girly, and whiney and clingy. Gah, I don't know how Teddy put up with her for so long. But finally he couldn't take her anymore, and she was pushing marriage at the poor chap. Teddy had been away for a year now, he went on a Dragon wrangling expedition through Asia and The Middle East with my Uncle Charlie. (He is coming back tonight!)
Victoire whiner-pants Weasley aka frigid bitch. She was so manipulative! But hey she was gorgeous and very curvy. She is like a Barbie Doll, a whining, bitchy, psychotic Barbie Doll that n one plays with. She is like 24 and works as a dress robe model.
James Sirius Potter aka annoying yet loveable big brother. Ha well James is James. You gotta love em. I think he was like 19 now.
Molly Weasley aka miss prissy pants who ate a goody two shoes. Uncle Percy's daughter. Enough said. She James' age (Ravenclaw).
Albus pompous brat Potter. Prick. He was in his seventh year this year (Gryffindor).
Rose Weasley aka cheap whore. Rose gets around… her and Vic get along quite well… both plastic Barbies. Rose use to be me "big sister" but then… I don't really know what happened.
Lucy Weasley aka Uncle Percy's cool daughter. Lucy was fantastic. She was a hard core hippie! All vegetarian and Zen. Merlin I love that cousin. I'm still doubting her parentage though. I mean seriously just look at Uncle Percy and Aunt Penelope they are like RULES! And then there is Lucy all peace and love. Ha it cracks me up. Lucy was entering her sixth year (Hufflepuff).
Hugo Weasley aka Albus's mini me. Hugo tries so hard to be EXACTLY like Albus. I mean he even got glasses exactly like Albus's and popped out the lenses! He walks, talks, and dresses like Albus! And Albus encourages him! He thinks it rudy lovely! So just like Albus, Hugo is out to make my life miserable, one prank and mean jibe at a time. Ha and to think Hugo was my best friend at one time. Hugo was in my year (Gryffindor).
Dom Weasley aka EMO. Dom was a sweetie but she was erm slightly strange (which one of us Weasleys-Potters aren't??). Her blonde hair is hairsprayed to perfection so that it sweeps out in front of one of her eyes and its all teased on the side. She is really pale, due to her phobia of the sun, I mean she NEVER goes out in then sun… ever… she was always like "ahhhh it burns, it's too bright ahhhhh!" she wears a lot of eyeliner and is always all decked out in her Emo ensembles. She hates eating in front of other people, (outside of the lovely Weasley Family). We were really close. Around people she didn't know she got completely shy and wouldn't open her mouth. But around her friends she was a little social butterfly. Her parents are convinced it was a "stage". She is a Gryffindor my year.
Fred Weasley aka the prank master. Uncle George's prodigy. Freddy was a funny kid. If anything ever blew up all eyes are on Freddy. And I loved his hair, it was like he got struck with lightening, every strand stood straight up! He is a third year Gryffindor.
Louis Weasley aka Freddy's right hand man. Freddy and Louis were inseparable. Louis was a really sweet kid, and fairly intuitive too. Him and Freddy are always plotting some sort of master scheme. He is also a third year Grffy.
Rounding up the pack was Roxanne Weasley aka the little one. She was the youngest. She really really really really likes the color purple. She is entering her first year this year… house undecided (I'm hoping for a slytherin, I mean really? We need at least one slytherin in the fam!)
"Our family is weird," I announced.
"Oh really, what gave you that idea?" James smiled.
