-Letting Go-
The woman pressed the horn letting out a long "BEEEEEEEP!!" .The traffic went in to choc-a-block mode again. The woman was now staring at the radio clock watching the seconds roll by, finally agitated she screamed "MOVE!!"
"Scarlet?" The little girl sat in the passenger seat of their Black Mini, fiddling with the hem of her sleeves; she cautiously looked at her older sister who was driving.
She always loved Scarlet, especially her long brown hair; so long it reached up to her waist. Her Round eyes were a solemn grey color so it looked like she could see straight into your soul and at times made her feel safe from inside but sometimes scarlet used to scare her and say she could see what Emerald was thinking. Her heart shaped face was tanned like Emerald as they were both, quarter Spanish, and quarter Egyptian and half English. They lived in England all their lives and occasionally visited Spain and Egypt. Her lips were what emerald was most jealous for they were scarlet Red, without ANY lipstick whatsoever, just naturally. She envied her for it.
"We should have traveled by Magic!" Scarlet muttered to herself. The traffic now smoothed out and they were now on their way to Kings Cross with ease. She turned to look at her little sister, noticing the worried look etched on her face she reached out her hand to hold her sister's smaller sized ones, and smiled at her.
Scarlet stared straight ahead of her trying to find a parking space. She spotted one, a parking space in between an old rusting Blue Ford Anglia and a black London cabbie. Scarlet unstrapped herself and reached under the dash board to open the boot of her car. Emerald then pulled the car door open and let herself out.
"Hey Em, do me a favor will you?" Scarlet was struggling taking Emeralds trunk out of the back. Emerald turned around to look at her sister, she nearly burst out laughing. Scarlet had one foot on the car, one of the floor and two of her hands pulling on her trunk. Also Scarlet's face looked, well … scarlet!!
"Yeah, sure…. Scarlet!" Emerald giggled looking at her sister's funny state.
"What in MERLIN have you got in your suit case?" Scarlet tugged as hard as she could. "It feels like you have the WHOLE house in here!!" She gave up and left it. Scarlet was panting hard when she heard Emerald giggling away. "WHAT?" Scarlet heaved.
"Your Face" Emerald pointed, with that Scarlet whipped her mirror she always keeps in her back pocket and gave a little shriek. Scarlet fanned herself down with her hand and tried to sort out her eyeliner as it was smudged a bit, she noticed Emerald watching her.
"Em, get a trolley hun." Scarlet ordered Emerald
"Okay" Emerald trotted off in Kings Cross, the Station was MASSIVE. She looked around in awe and wondered if there was anyone else going on the same platform like her. But how would she know? Emerald concentrated back on getting a trolley, as soon as her mind thought of it she spotted one abandoned in the middle off a pillar. When she heard a woman's voice say, "Quiet down Ron, You'll get to go when your two years older!" Emerald turned her head to see who was talking. She noticed it was a plump woman with shocking red hair who was standing with her six children and her husband, actually, all of them had red hair. She couldn't help but suppress a grin.
"OK, Charlie and Percy go first" as she said their names she kissed each one of her children's cheeks , and all of them automatically blushed and started running towards a pillar between the signs 9 and 10, They were running straight ahead! She couldn't bear to watch! A crowd of people walked by blocking the view of the redheads and then the crowd dispersed. The red heads were no were to be seen.
"EMERALD!!" Oh no, Scarlet! She completely forgot she had to bring the trolley back to Scarlet! She dared herself to turn around and find her sister. She didn't need to she could see her bright red top through the crowd. She was wheeling the trunk in a trolley of her own, her skin returned to its normal color, her eyeliner was un-smudged and Scarlet held a worried look in her eyes. Spotting her finally she went up to her little sister and hugged her tight and held her out eyeing her worriedly.
"DON'T do that to me again!!" she said firmly
"I won't don't worry Scar, I was just watching the redheads go through to the platform like you explained to me." Emerald could see relief break into Scarlet's face as she smiled then she frowned.
"Red Heads?" Scarlet asked
"Yeah they were just there" she turned around to point where they were. But only three were there. Emerald noticed the small redhead to be Ron, as his mother shouted his name earlier.
"Weasleys" Emerald heard her sister whisper with delight. Scarlet stood up ,took Emeralds hand and put the other on the trolley. Together they walked up to the man with the two children. Mr.Weasley looked up and noticed the girls walking towards him. His face automatically broke into a smile.
"Scarlet!" He greeted her with a hug. "How are you?"
"I'm coping, doing much better thank you so much for all the help you've given me. The job is going well; I'm doing the best I can." She smiled back. "How are you and Mrs. Weasley? Fred, George and Ron? Little Ginevra?"
" Oh she's doing fine! Just giving Fred and George the rules and regulations of Hogwarts but she knows they're going to break every single one of them anyway!" He shook his head at the thought of it "And Ron and Ginevra are whimpering, they want to go with their brothers." He added looking down on them.
"NO FAIR!!" Ginevra stamped her feet on the ground.
"Aww, she's going to turn out a toughie that one!" Scarlet tickled Ginny.
"Oh, I almost forgot, how's Emerald?" Mr.Weasley asked looking around for her
Emerald was hiding behind the trolley; she stepped out slowly to look at the nearly balding red headed man.
"Merlin, haven't you grown up?" He exclaimed! Emerald decided she liked the man and grinned cheekily at him. Scarlet looked at her watch and was thankful she had woken early today as she only half an hour left until eleven o'clock.
" It was really nice to see you again Mr.Weasley " she gave him quick hug
" Take care of yourself and Goodluck Emerald!!" he said waving as he walked away back outside holding his two children's hands
Scarlet waved back and positioned Emerald and herself directly opposite the same pillar the redheads ran through. Directly across a letter box hung on the wall.
"okay remember to breathe and just relax, I'm right next to you." Scarlet looked down
"Ready?"
"Scar, I was born, Ready!" with that they both thrust forward trotting at first ,then picking up speed and before they knew it with a " WHOOOSHING" noise they were on the platform, they made it.
Scarlet and Emerald made their way through the crowd. Both of them jumped on the Hogwarts Express. Scarlet helped put Emeralds trunk in an empty compartment and settled down with her. Emerald was staring out of the window shaking slightly.
"Hey don't be scared. It's okay. I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends and have lots of fun, I know I did!" her sister smiled helpfully. "look here," she reached inside her red hand bag and gave emerald a bag of coins.
"I know I didn't pack anything, you know I'm a useless cook. So here is some money for you to spend okay? Don't spend it all okay? You might need it for later." With that she gave her little sister a squeeze and whispered in her ear, "I know you wish mum and dad were with us now Em, me too." Emerald sniffled and a silent tear dropped down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away. Scarlet kissed her forehead and smiled at her weekly. She left the compartment and Emerald watched her get on the platform, just then she noticed Mrs.Weasley hurrying two redheaded twins on the train.
"LOVE YOU ALWAYS" Scarlet shouted above the whistle of the train. Scarlet then did something people would think was strange. She kissed two of her fingers, placed it over her heart then made the peace gesture. Immediately Emerald knew what this meant, she quickly shouted "FOREVER AND EVER, SIS'" and did the same. Suddenly the train started moving faster and faster and soon her sister came nothing but a blur.
Emerald pocketed the coins and stared out of the window. Banging could be heard, it came from outside. She leaned closer to the door, arm stretched to the door handle. All of a sudden the compartment door swung open and a two red blurs flew in Emerald let out a shriek and looked at what had fallen in her lap ….
