"Mum! Mum!" Ron and I ran into the kitchen, we hardly noticed Charlie and Bill at the table.
"What is it dears?" I didn't recognize it, but she knew exactly what we were so excited about.
"Our Hogwarts letters-" Ron puffed, "They came, just now." I finished for him. We handed her the letters that proved out acceptance into Hogwarts.
"Huzzah! The shrimps aren't squibs!" Fred and George came in.
"I'm not a shrimp, I'm just vertically challenged." I answered smartly.
"...What she said." Ron said after a pause.
Everyone laughed, I didn't notice mum still thinking next to the stove.
"Alright then, now that the letters have come we may as well go to Diagon Alley tomorrow, no sense putting it off." She finally said when the laughter had died down.
She wasn't actually my mum, but she had raised me as her own. Really she was my aunt, my name is Rhea Ailsa Prewett Weasley, my real parents are Fabian and Adele Prewett, but they died, Adele died in child birth and Fabian, who was mums brother, was killed by death eaters just before the war ended. So I grew up in the home of the Weasleys.
"Are we going somewhere mummy?" Ginny came in.
"Yes dear, tomorrow we're going to pick up school gear. Rhea and Ron just got their letters." She answered.
"Evening Weasley's!" Dad closed the door. It was getting kind of crowded.
"Could we keep the noise level down?" Percy snapped form the doorway, he was still wearing the prefects badge he had gotten at the start of summer.
The whole Weasley clan was now in the kitchen.
"What's the matter Perce? Didn't finish holiday homework?" Fred or George taunted.
"Of course I finished it! I have to set a good example for the younger members of this household." he looked over at us pointedly.
"Oh Arthur, do you think you could come with us to Diagon alley tomorrow? Rhea and Ron just got their letters. Everyone has theirs now." It was hard to hear one conversation with all the noise.
"I just bought I new wand, one of these two can have my old one." Charlie put in.
"Mine!" Ron yelled quickly. I just shrugged, Charlie's old wand was old and worn, it had part of the unicorn hair sticking out the end.
"Thank you Charlie, everything but defence against the dark arts is the same so second hand books, Ron you can wear the boys old uniforms, Rhea we can buy robes tomorrow and Ginny can wear them next year and we'll get a wand for you while we're at it." Dad said while scanning a letter. "Now then, dinner."
I was crammed between Bill and Fred while mum served the food, as usual it was wonderful.
"Ready you two? We'll be there in a moment so just wait at a table." Mum handed us some floo powder.
Bill had left but Charlie was coming with us. Fred and George came through first, then Charlie and Percy, mum and Ginny and finally dad.
"Alright then, Percy, Fred and George go get books and cauldrons with your father, Ron and Ginny with me for clothing, Rhea and Charlie get a wand, we'll meet at Madam Malkins for uniforms when everyone's done." Mum finished and handed out money, everyone dispersed.
Ron was angry that I got a new wand after seeing the state of Charlie's old one, but that's what he got for grabbing without looking.
"Ah Charlie Weasley, in need of a new wand already?" Ollivander came out from between the shelves.
Once he saw me he started handing me wands, I had to try at least 10 before I found one that 'liked' me.
"The wand chooses the wizard, and this wand is a very good one. Black walnut, griffin claw, 12 inches and sturdy. Very good indeed." he commented after Charlie paid.
"Griffin claw, that proves you'll be in Gryffindor." he patted my back. The wand was quite nice, in addition to a beautifully carved handle it had gold vines swirled toward the tip, it went really well with the dark wood.
I was nervous about going to Hogwarts, what if I wasn't in Gryffindor like everyone else?
Percy and I were the only ones to get new robes, Percy because he was a prefect and me because Ginny had to wear them after and all the second hand ones there looked about ready to fall apart. Percy also got a new owl. Apart from those few things everything was second hand, even the spell books.
The next month was spent in true Weasley tradition, playing backyard Quidditch, pulling pranks, making a mess and generally having as much fun as possible before going (back) to school.
The last day of August finally arrived, I was really excited but extremely nervous at the same time. Ginny was the same as she was every year, I could almost tell how she felt, before now Ron and I had been staying home with her, but she would be all alone this year.
"Think of it this way, you get a whole room to yourself, well for most of the year anyway. And don't worry, we'll be back before you know it, and next year you get to come to Hogwarts to." I tried to console, "How about we go for a fly?"
We were rarely allowed to fly, well I was, so it was a forbidden treasure. We both loved it, my aim and speed were really good.
We quickly landed and shoved the brooms back in place when we saw dad apparate. "Don't worry, I wont tell Molly this time." He ruffled our hair.
I group of six redheads with large trunks, owls and a rat is a little odd. Especially in the middle of kings cross station, "-packed with muggles of course, come on, come on, 9 ¾, lets go." Mum was practically yelling.
I noticed a black haired boy following us, probably muggle born trying to find the platform.
"Alright Percy, you first." Percy ran through the 'wall', "Fred you next."
"I'm not Fred, I'm George." Fred smirked, "Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother."
"Sorry George." I could tell she was looking forward to the break, even if she still had a kid and a husband to take care of.
"I'm only joking, I am Fred." They ran through one after the other.
"Excuse me, could you tell me... how to..." the boy trailed off.
"How to get onto the platform? Not to worry dear, it's Rhea and Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well." she always had a motherly posture, "All you have to do, is walk strait at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Don't stop and don't be scared of crashing into it, best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous."
"See you on the train Rhea." Ron ran ahead.
"Go on, before Rhea." He ended up flat out running towards it, I waited a few moments for him to get out of the way before running after him.
"Now you two- this year, you behave yourselves. And look after Ron, and Rhea to." Mum warned Fred and George.
"Don't worry, ickle Ronniekins is safe with us, and so is little Prewett." Fred mocked.
"Shut up." Ron was almost as tall as the twins already, I was still pretty short though.
"Don't call me little." I growled.
Just as we got on the train Ginny started crying, "Don't worry, we'll send you loads of owls." Fred said.
Mum and Ginny waved goodbye until the train rounded a bend, Ron and I looked for ages but there was only one compartment left, inside was the boy.
"Do you mind if we sit here?" Ron asked him, "Everywhere else is full."
The boy nodded, "I'm Rhea by the way." I said to end to awkward silence that had formed.
"Ron Weasley." Ron followed my lead.
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter." Ron and I glanced at each other.
"Hey you two." the twins were back, "We're going down the middle of the train, Lee's got a giant tarantula down there." They looked over at Harry, "Fred and George Weasley, and if the little git's hadn't already told you they're Ron and Rhea, our brother and sister. Bye."
"They're so nice." I muttered sarcastically.
Ron however was preoccupied, "Have you really got the..." He pointed at his forehead.
Harry nodded and moved his fringe aside, there was the legendary lightning bolt scar. Ron stared at it, I was a little more subtle with my interest.
Around half past twelve a woman opened the door, "Anything from the trolley dears?"
Ron checked his pockets, "I could've sworn mum made sandwiches." I sighed and handed him his. "Oh, thanks."
Harry came back in with his arms loaded with sweets. I quickly went and got my self a licorice wand. I kept one of the cards from the chocolate frogs, I had the rest, the one I kept was Rowena Ravenclaw.
Since mum had only made corned beef the sandwiches just sat there, she always forgot we both hated it. Harry eventually opened a pack of Berty Botts every flavour beans.
All three of us were quite daring, Harry even took a bite of a weird gray one that turned out to be pepper. I took a green one and put it in my mouth, "Ah! Wasabi!" I yelled and spat it out. That stuff was hot!
