A.N. Hi! Yup, another update, all in the same day. This is just to get the introduction out of the way, basically. Please, please review, and enjoy the story ;)
Oh, and here's the full summary:
Summer White was all ready for her second year at Hogwarts, with the Weasley twins at her side and a ton of perfect pranks, this year was going to be epic. That is, until Lacey Weasley came into her life, and they discovered a secret that questioned the lives, relationships and blood of almost everyone they knew. As they are pulled into these tangled webs of lies and secrets, the two new friends begin to question their lives, loved ones, and even their identities.
Chapter 1
Summer POV
The blast of cool air hit my bare legs making me shiver. I jumped out of bed and glared at my human alarm. I grabbed my neon pink pillow and threw it as hard as I could at my (for all intents and purposes) brother. Don't ask- it's complicated, and I'm too tired to explain it. Oliver grinned at my glare.
"Breakfast is ready, but it's okay if you want to go back to sleep. More for me!" I grinned despite myself; not even the dullest person in the world could deny that Oliver was funny. Suddenly I remembered what day it was and bolted out of bed, running for the stairs. Oliver laughed behind me as I tripped right before reaching the staircase and tumbled clumsily down the stairs. Believe me, not a pleasant experience.
My parents both chuckled as I barged into the kitchen. My parents are about the most boring people you'll possibly ever meet. My dad had balding dark hair, round spectacles over plain dark eyes and a bit of a round belly. My mum had short blonde hair a bit lighter than mine (but the purple highlights made mine ten times more awesome than hers), curling slightly at the end. Her equally dark eyes sparkled as she watched me trip over my feet (twice) on my way to the table. Sometimes my clumsiness surprised even me.
"Morning Mum, morning Dad." I kiss both their cheeks as I grab a muffin (chocolate chip, yum) and sat between them.
"Morning," They chorused. Oliver joined us, ruffling my short blonde hair in passing.
"Excited for Hogwarts?" Mum asked looking up from her newspaper.
"Heeecccckkk yeah!" I cheered pumping my fist in the air, thinking of all the pranks to do this year, and blushing slightly at the thought of the twins I would do them with.
Oliver saw my blush and smirked, winking, telling me mentally he knew what I was blushing about.
SHUT THE HECK UP, OLIVER WOOD! I SAW YOU LOOKING AT ANGELINA THE OTHER DAY SO DON'T PRETEND THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A CRUSH IS LIKE! AND ALSO! THE TWINS ARE FREAKING AWESOME PEOPLE AND WAY AWESOMER THAN YOU! IN FACT ON A SCALE OF AWESOMENESS, THEY WOULD RANK MUCH HIGHER THAN YOU, OLLYPOP! SO. SHUT. THE. HECK. UP. NOW!
I nodded, and Oliver oblivious to my mental tantrum, kept smirking.
The trip to the train station was chaotic. We rushed into the station in casual muggle clothing, quickly blending in. We had 15 minutes before the train left and my mum was frantic. Even as we ran through the barrier to platform 9¾, she was shouting reminders.
"BRUSH YOUR TEETH EVERY NIGHT, AND DON'T FORGET TO FLOSS. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND DON'T GET INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE. THAT MEANS YOU SUMMER! OWL EVERY…" She was cut off by the horn of the train and I smiled; we were finally on our way to Hogwarts.
Once on the train, I immediately started looking for my favorite twins. I found them in a compartment near the back, surrounded by pranking items. I tripped in, as usual, and grinned, time to start planning.
We got to Hogwarts with smirks on our faces and plans for the perfect pranks. This year was going to be epic (in more ways than I expected). Yes, I just did one of those creepy voice predictions. Deal with it. Ok, I have a weird brain. Deal with it. Gosh, what is with me and saying deal with it? I guess I just like saying that. Deal with it. OMG I DID IT AGAIN! THAT'S SO WEIRD! Ok, I have issues. I guess I'll just have to deal with it… DANGIT! I DID IT AGAIN! Well, again again… teehee…again again.
George said something, pulling me out of my fascinating inner thoughts, well, more like inner arguments.
"What?" I asked stupidly, pulled out of my IA again (PS, I've decided to call my inner arguments IA, inner arguments take much longer to think).
"I said…" he shared an amused glance with Fred, "You glad not to be riding in the boats this time?"
I scowled. "Yes, last year I got SOAKED. I drowned…in my own clothes…I felt like a drowned dog…those are the ones that get wet, right?" They shared another glance, and burst out laughing. I scowled, but my frown quickly turned upside down (OMG THOSE SOUND LIKE LYRICS TO A SONG, frooooown….turn upside doooooown….yeah). I shared my song lyrics with them, and they just laughed harder.
We laughed all the way to the castle, through the Entryway, and all the way to the Great Hall, where we sat down at the Gryffindor Table, still laughing. Nobody gave us weird looks, they knew us well enough that it wasn't an odd sight, us 3 leaning on each other with tears in our eyes from laughing so hard. We were just that cool.
The sorting started, and our laughter quieted down, after some glares from McGonagall. In my boredom, my mind started to wonder. Pie…food…chicken….beef….food…. yeah, I'm hungry. Deal with….GOSH DARNIT!
I looked at the little 1st years, but none of them stuck out particularly to me. My mind kept wondering…it was gonna be lost pretty soon, if it kept on wondering…wow, that doesn't even make sense. Hmm, me, Fred and George should have a cool group name, like, like, Sumredorge. Yeah. Sumredorge. That's just badbutt. See, I don't like cursing, so I say substitutes. Like badbutt, dampit, and bowlsugar.
Suddenly, my attention was drawn as McGonagall uttered a single name.
Potter, Harry.
Er, Harry Potter.
Lacey POV
I rolled my eyes at them, a common occurrence in our family. Fred and George had run all the way to the train, claiming they needed to start making plans. However, they were cut off when Molly came into view, so their sentence sounded more like: "We have to get there soon, start plan-ting! Yeah, planting! It's our new hobby, right Gred?"
"Right, Forge."
They ran off, and I kept on walking, pulling my cart calmly. They were idiots. Funny idiots, but idiots nonetheless. I looked over at little Ginny. The poor little girl was devastated; she would have to go to Hogwarts next year, a year behind me and Ron. I went over and gave her a hug. When she asked me what it was for, I shook my head and smiled. I love that kid.
Once on the platform, after Molly helped a skinny kid with dark hair through the wall, I observed my family from behind.
I've always felt like I don't belong in their family, don't belong as a Weasley. Where all the Weasley's have red hair, dark eyes and freckles, I only have one of those features. My silky, straight red hair. Other than that, I looked different from the rest of them. I had light blue eyes, and pale, freckleless (wait is that even a word) skin. My hair, while red, was darker than their carroty orange, and straighter, smoother. Overall, I stuck out like a sore thumb.
I hugged Molly goodbye. While not my real mother, she was the closest thing I had. "Be good, and keep Ron out of trouble, all right dearie?" She kissed my forehead and set me off. Ron was right behind me, and we were silent as we looked for an empty compartment. I knew Fred and George wouldn't let us in theirs; we'd be interrupting their 'planting'.
We passed their compartment, and I saw them laughing with that blonde girl they hang out with a lot. Sunshine, or something.
Ron and I finally found an empty compartment near the back, only occupied by the skinny kid Molly had helped at the platform. I looked up as we entered, my eyes immediately meeting dazzling emerald ones.
"Anyone sitting here? Everywhere else is full." Ron asked, the boy's gaze slid to him. The boy shook his head, and Ron and I sat across from him. There were a couple of seconds of awkward silence, before Ron burst. "Are you really Harry Potter?" I glared at his rudeness.
"Ronald!" I elbowed him, glaring.
Harry, I suppose, grinned. "That's OK. Yeah, I guess."
I smiled slightly at him. "I'm Lacey, this is Ron. Nice to meet you, Harry."
He mumbled a "nice to meet you" back.
"So, do you really have the-you know…" Harry pulled up his bangs to showcase the faint red lightning scar. Unconsciously, my brother and I leaned forward to look.
"Wicked," Ron breathed.
We chatted a bit more, meeting a girl named Hermione, and finally the train came to a stop. We unboarded, and made our way to the boats.
Once at the castle, after McGonagall's lecture, we all filed into the Great Hall. I saw the twins, they waved and laughed and made hand gestures, some funny, some rude, most just inappropriate. The girl, Sunny, or whatever knocked over a couple of plates and elbowed a glass. I almost snickered. She was kind of weird.
The hat sang its song, and the sorting began. I didn't pay attention to most of it, but I did notice the Hermione girl get sorted into Gryffindor. I smiled, good for her. Finally, one name stuck out. "Potter, Harry." The crowd of students went silent.
I watched as Harry sat down, and the hat was set on his head. There were a couple of seconds where Harry seemed to be arguing with the hat; finally it called out the house.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Everyone at the table burst out in cheers, and Harry sat down, grinning. Soon enough, it was my turn.
I sat down, and the hat fell over my eyes. I heard the voice in my mind, but I wasn't surprised. I sat calmly, waiting.
Hmm, you're another difficult one. Hmm, where to put you. Well, I should mention Slytherin first. You have great potential, great power. Slytherin could help you harness that.
I imagined my family's reaction if I ended up in Slytherin, and shook my head violently. Please no, I begged silently.
No? Alright then. "GRYFFINDOR!"
I grinned and walked over to sit next to the other 1st years. The twins patted me on the back as I passed and Sammy winked at me.
I smiled at Harry and Hermione as I sat down. I watched Ron get sorted into Gryffindor, and come sit next to us. The feast began and I smiled, this was where I belong.
A.N. So 1st chapter done. Don't worry, they will get longer, this one is only this short because it is the 1st chapter, and we want to kind of explain the story. Please review! That's what makes us update.
