Review Pretty Please!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stepped off Belus, and stared up at the Burrow. Aunt Molly and Uncle Arthur would surley be surprised to see me, afterall I was'nt supposed to arrive for at least another week. Some sort of buisness had came up though and my mom and dad had to go to Ireland, they'd be here in a week. I started walking torwards the door, it seemed we had landed some where in the back of the house, because I had about twenty feet of untamed garden to fight through until I'd reach the door. I whistled for Belus to follow with my trunks, as Talus flew in front of us. Belus was my carpet, these Britains were a weird lot, baning flying carpets like they were some sort of brainless object. Carpets in America were catergoized as Magical Creatures. Belus was a very good carpet and faithful pet, and since he was an American Breed he was allowed in England while I was here. Talus is my owl.
And finally I made it to the door, and knocked loudly. The only reply was the door creaking open slowly. Creepy. I stepped into a tidy, small kitchen. Great, just my luck no one was home. But.... then what was that noise?
"Belus, stay." I whispered fiercly. I gathered my courage and slowly tip toed torwards the sitting room, investigating the strange strangled noises coming from it. The house seemed empty, but what were those sounds? As I reached the sitting room, a strange sight met my eyes, and I gave a loud invoulantary yelp. The two jumped apart, as I slapped a hand over my eyes and blushed a deep blood red.
"Ummm.... er- I'll wait in the kitchen." I managed to squeak out, and turned into the kitchen. All I had seen was two barley clad bodies, one with long silvery blond hair and the other a tall male with ginger hair. I'm taking my oldest cousin Bill was getting to know his girlfriend a little bit better. It was bit more than I wanted to know. I had just made a great arrival. I sat down on one of the chairs around the table and looked around, while the rustling of clothing was still apparent in the next room. A large grandfather clock caught my eye, each Weasly had his or her name written on a hand. I sighed, I did seem to have a knack at messing things up. I looked up as I saw Bill and his girlfriend walk in, thankfully fully clothed this time. I studied my cousin more closely, as I grinned up at him. He wore a sheepish smile, and a blush. His girlfriend had silvery blond hair and bright blue eyes and an apparent frown. She did'nt seem in a very good mood, she looked a bit snobbish. Ah, I don't think I like her very well.
"Well, I'm surprised to see you Jemison. Er- where's Uncle James and Aunt Rose?" Bill asked nervously. I laughed.
"Don't worry Bill, they arn't coming until next week. Aunt Molly will never know of- your extra curricular activitys." I answer cheerfully, my hazel eyes twinkling. Bill gave me a grateful look and grinned. "So where
is everyone?"
"Ah, Mum and Da are at Diagon Alley with Ron, Ginny, Harry and Hermione. Fred and George live at Diagon Alley, now that they have Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes up full time. Charlie is up at Hogwarts already, him teaching Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid. And Percy's at the Ministry." Bill replied, pouring himself some tea. "Oh, and this is my girlfriend Fleur Delacour." She gave a curt little nod, and I tilted my head a bit. I really did'nt like this girl.
"Listen Bill, I need to get to Diagon Alley and grab some school supplies..." I was about to say something about getting directions but a shreik suddenly emitted from Fleur's perfectly shaped mouth as she jumped back. Really! Belus was just being friendly. Bill looked as though he was trying to conceal a laugh as he scratched Belus's pattern. I did'nt refrain my laugh and got a steamy glare from the Queen herself. Belus glided over to me and I plopped up onto him, making sure I had my little purse of galleons. "Wanna come?" I asked in amusment, Bill shook his head reluctantly and I was off. I whispered my destination to Belus, and we were off in a warm stream of air, I hoping that Belus knew where we were going.
We arrived at the Leaky Couldron under a cloak of invisability to the muggles that Belus could produce for a few minutes at a time. I stepped off Belus, to awes and ohhs, and walked up to the bar to ask the inkeeper how to enter Diagon Alley. I knew most of these people had never seen anything like Belus and me. I loved the attention. I had been riding Belus since we were both young, we moved as one. It was the only thing I had grace in. These people see a bright blue and gold flying carpet, and a young American teen with ocean blue robes and golden red hair, quite a unusal attraction. Belus and I had been competing in flying togather for a few years now, locally in my small American wizarding town. After recieving directions I stepped out onto a small deserted patio behind the Leaky Couldron. A tapped my wand against some well chosen bricks and watched delightedly as a doorway formed. I gasped as I stepped through the door into a milling crowd of witchs and wizards. People gasped as Belus flew above my head, gliding in the afternoon sun. I was'nt sure where to start. The crowd was overwhelming and so Belus and I ducked into the nearest store. Which to my surprise was a book shop, I love books. Might as well start here. The book shop was scarcley popualted, most people wandering around outside in the warm midday sun, and out for lunch. I was in paradise, hundreds of rows of books. But I was'nt going to find Aunt Molly or anyone else in here, I needed to find Fred & George's joke shop. I walked up to a large gold counter to a wizard who was ringing up an order for a witch who looked to be about my age with bushy brown hair. I stepped in line behind her to find a fat looking ginger cat at her heels, his squashed looking face staring up at me. I gave a delighted sigh and bent down to scratch him right under his chin, right where my kitten loved to be petted. The witch smiled as and moved down the counter a bit to try and stuff the large books into a small cloth bag.
"What can I get for you Miss?" The wizard behind the counter asked with a smile, as I stepped up to the counter.
"Uh, well I was wondering if you could tell me how to get to Weasly's Wizarding Wheezes joke shop." The wizard nodded and started spouting out directions... what was he saying? Ollivanders? Who and the heck is Ollivander? My confusion must have shown because the young witch giggled.
"I'm heading over there now, you can come with me if you'd like." She replied helpfully, as she slumped over a bit with the weight of the books in the bag and in her hands. I nodded gratefully.
"Here..." I reached for her books and hefted them onto Belus. She placed the rest of her books cautiously on Belus while running a hand curiously down his lenghth.
"He's beautiful. I've never seen a carpet this... tame. Ohh, are you American? Your pet?" She asked excitedly as she studied Belus throughly. I laughed as we made our way out of the book shop and made our way through the gaping crowd.
"Yeah, Belus and I are from America. So what's you name?" I asked pleasantly as she led the way down the alley.
"I'm Hermione Granger. And yours?" Hermione? Hmmm, did'nt Bill mention something about a Hermione? I was about to answer when we reached the Joke shop. My mouth dropped open at the flashing lights and the hundreds of students that seemed to be packed into the shop. The noise was unbelieveable and we were still outside. "A bit noisy!" Hermione shouted over the noise. I grinned as we pushed our way through the crowds and into the shop. "You want to meet Fred and George?" She yelled polietly. I nodded. And we pushed torwards the front of the store. Everywhere various pranks were being played, dung bombs were being let off. I saw two ginger heads above the milling students, and pushed harder torwards them, getting just a tad bit impatient. People everywhere were grumbling their protest as they got a elbow in the ribs for not moving fast enough, accidently of course. Belus seemed to distract a few people who were watching. I was almost close enough to Fred and George to.... WHAM!
I fell foreward, I'm going to hex that little fourteen year old into next year, trip me will you? I crashed into a ginger haired propriator, Fred? no George? His back had been turned to me and we both lost our balance and toppled to the floor. I really was making a good impression on my cousins, who I had'nt seen in years...
"OY! Who in the bloody bludger is on top of me?" George shouted as we lay in a heap on the floor, his face pushed against the floor. An image flew through my mind, I was nine and the twins twelve, George had pinned me down and tickle me until I agreed to try some blasted invention of toffee of his that had made me sick for at least two days. I remembered him tauting me 'You'll never be able to pin me Jem, so might as well quit trying' I had vowed revenge. I leaned down.
"Now George Weasly who can pin who?" I shouted in his ear, right before two strong arms encircled my waist and hauled me up. I looked up to see Fred grinning like an idiot, I grinned back as a disgruntled George picked himself up. Then I remember that little bugger who had tripped me in the first place, I spun around searching for him.
"Little Bugger who tripped me got away." I grumbled, and turned to face the twins who were now both grinning. Hermione finally reached my side, panting and looking flushed. She taking the long way to get to the front of the store, being poliet and all. Belus glided above our heads.
"You already know Fred and George?" She asked looking confused. Fred threw his arm about my neck and announced.
"Meet the infamous Jemison Morgan, fellow prankster and Weasly. Cousin to be exact." I laughed and held my hand out to Hermione who shook it vigorously.
"So your Hogwarts new exchange student? Great! You'll be in our year." Hermione said enthusastically. Just then I saw four more ginger heads parting the crowd, and a black one quickly following. It look like the rest of the Weasly clan had arrived, I tried to remember all the things not to do, did'nt want to make another grand entrance.
