This is my first fanfiction so any constructive criticism is welcome, but no flaming please
"Molly?" Dominique Weasley asked, standing on her toes and peering around at the other students on the platform and searching for a glimpse of bright red hair.
"Moll? Molllllllly! Where are you!" she yelled, stamping her foot in impatience. Dominique hated waiting.
"MOLLY WEASLEY WHERE IN THE NAME OF MERLIN ARE YOU!" she shouted. He could feel her nose beginning to sharpen and her nails elongating. Not a good sign at all. It wouldn't do to turn into a part Veela angry bird in front of everybody. But where was Molly?
"Jeez Dom, you almost blew a gasket. I've been right behind you." Said a familiar voice. Molly. Oh, she was going to kill that girl one day.
Dominique shot her a death glare, but Molly just smirked, unfazed. Nobody but Molly could stand up tot hose stares. That was probably why they were best friends. It didn't hurt that they were cousins, either, of course.
"Come on Dom, lighten up. Let's say good –bye to the family and get it over with."
"Bet you can't get out of Lily's hugs faster than I can!"
"You're on!" They raced to the spot where all of their cousins, aunts, and uncles stood.
After barely escaping Percy telling them to watch out for Lucy for the millionth time, Lily came barreling towards them.
"Here it goes." Muttered Molly.
"I can't believe you guys are in fifth year and I haven't even started! I can't wait to go! James told me there's a feast and dungeons and all of this cool stuff! I don't want to wait, Dommy! Can I come with you? Could I fit in your trunk? I bet I could, I'm really small! I want to go so badly! It's not fair, Albus and Rose get to go next year and I have to wait three years! I hate being eight! It's no fun." She had said all of this while clinging on to Dominique, and now she was beginning to cry.
"Aw, Lils," said Dominique softly "don't cry. You'll be there before you know it. Right Molly?"
"Yeah! Don't worry; enjoy the time you have without any homework. Trust me." Molly smirked, "Hogwarts isn't all fun."
The whistle pierced the air. Molly cursed.
"Molly said a bad worrrrdd" teased Lily. Molly just rolled her eyes and started running towards the train, with Dominique trailing behind her.
"That girl," Molly snorted, "is so funny."
"Not when she's screaming in your ear to sneak her into school."
"True."
Then Cedric Davies, Molly's long time crush walked past, laughing with his Ravenclaw friends, and she burst out into giggles.
Molly never giggled.
"Er…Mol?"
Molly paused between giggles to say "yeah?"
"Why are you giggling?" Dominique was staring at her like she had three heads
"Aunt Ginny told me to relax. Be myself."
"You don't usually giggle."
"Well, it's better than me hiding behind you, isn't it?"
"I guess. But why don't you go talk to him? He's not going to, like, bite you or anything."
"Well, not everyone can be like you Dom. You're so comfortable with them. I just sort of freeze up. I can't even be near them without making a fool of myself."
"Um, hello? Liam?" said Dominique incredulously.
"He's different." She shrugged.
"How?"
"I don't know, but I guess I just never really though of him that way. He's just my friend. We've been through this a million times, I like Cedric, not Liam."
"He is one extremely fit guy to be 'just a friend'." She mocked.
"Then why don't you date him?"
"Not my type." she said as she lifted her trunk onto the train headed towards another year of craziness.
Of course, her type had blue hair. And secretly loved her beautiful older sister. Oh, well.
Hope you liked it! Read and Review please!
