Hey everyone! I'm back with an update, I normally won't be updating on Thursdays but I can't update this weekend so I'm updating now!
I decided that these are going to be shorter than expected, not many are going to be more than one hundred words.
If you have an idea you want me to do, PM me, or put it in a review, and I'll try it out.
I know more than two people are reading this story, so I'd appreciate it soo much if you're reading this to go review!!! More reviews = faster updates. If you review I will go check out your stories, and the next chapter will be dedicated to you!!!!
So, please read and review!
Since these people reviewed, this chapter is dedicated to: xMadeline11x and GiveMeOneGoodReason
This is from the point of view of the townspeople, it's a town legend, ghost story, weird story, etc., like the story of Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Hope you enjoy :)
The Weasleys of Ottery St. Catchpole
Every town has its legends, and every town has it's mysteries. In the small town of Ottery St. Catchpole, it was a family named the Weasleys. Everyone in Ottery St. Catchpole knew of the reclusive Weasleys, how could you not? They all had bright red hair and freckles. They rarely ever came to town, and when they did it was never just one of them.
The father, Arthur Weasley, was a bit odd. He never quite dressed right, he never matched, for example wearing slippers with button up shirts. Arthur Weasley loved junk though. If you were throwing something out, he asked for it. Whether is be an old battery, or a broken toaster, he asked if he could have it.
The mother, Molly Weasley, seemed a little more sane. Anyone who had ever talked to her said she was very kind. But, if her children were misbehaving, the whole town could hear her yelling at them, unless they were home of course, then no one could hear them.
But, another odd thing about them was that the Weasleys had seven children.
Bill, the oldest, usually dealt with the money, and was very calm, polite, and seemed brave.
Charlie, the next oldest, enjoyed animals, and would pet any dog or cat he saw.
Percy, who came after Charlie, was very upright and followed the rules, he normally seemed very pompous.
Fred and George came next, they were the twins. They could constantly be seen pranking people any way possible.
Ron, he was the youngest boy, was quiet. Often he was the subject of his brother's pranks, being younger than them, he did laugh though, when they pranked other people, just not him.
Ginny is the last, and the only girl. She was a very pretty girl, and many boys thought she was cute as she got older. Normally she was standing up to her brothers, she seemed to fit right in.
The Weasley children were not known personally by any of the children in town. They were homeschooled until age eleven when they went off to a private boarding school. They did not socialize with the other children.
No one knew exactly where the Weasleys lived. Some claimed they had seen their big mansion. Others said it was a town house. Others claimed it was a tiny one-room hut. Others had searched and said they'd never found anything, there was no trace they lived near the town.
The Weasleys were poor by common belief. No one knew what Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley did for a living, and no one knew how they afforded to send their kids to a private boarding school. According to the mayor, they didn't pay taxes by some weird clause in the national law, something he'd never heard of in all his years in law school.
It was a common story to tell when new people moved into town, the story of the carrot topped Weasley family. Some said they were insane. Some claimed Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were part of the Witness Protection Program. Some said that they worked for the government. Some said they simply didn't like people.
One thing all the people of Ottery St. Catchpole agreed on though was that the Weasley family was very odd. Something, no one definitively knew what, but something was off about them. The way they acted, the way they dressed, and the way they handled things and talked to people, they were simply not normal. Not normal by the standards of Ottery St. Catchpole that is.
Thanks for reading! Again, hope you liked it!
