Chapter 2:
The Burrow seemed as fascinating to Ethan and Evie as Muggle things were to Mr. Weasley. Once everyone had finished eating and Lena and Calla's Mom and Dad had left, Lena, Calla, Fred, and George decided it was time to give Ethan and Evie a tour of the house and show them where they would be sleeping.
"You'll be staying with us the four of us in mine and Fred's room! There's enough room in the fort we made for Lena and Calla that you two can fit in there too." George informed them with a smile as they entered the room to put their stuff down.
The rest of the day for Lena and Calla was spent with them talking to Ethan and Evie and the youngsters getting to know their older sisters' friends. Time seemed to fly by as they all talked and laughed, and before they knew it, all the kids were yawning and Mrs. Weasley had shooed them all up to bed.
After saying sleepy goodnights to the rest of the family, Fred, George and the Lockhart siblings all settled down into their room to sleep. Fred and George slept in their own separate beds while Lena and Calla slept curled up inside the fort with Ethan and Evie sprawled out on either side of them.
The next few days went as such. In laughter and fun. Fred and George had taken it upon themselves to become big brother figures to Ethan and Evie, just like with Lena and Calla. Evie and Ethan seemed to be enjoying themselves, spending time with their older sisters and their friends, along with being surrounded by magic. Some days, they would just spend the day outside, playing with Ren and Eleanor while other days would be spent inside, plotting pranks and just random conversations. Harry, Ron, Fred and George passionately explained everything having to do with Quidditch to a very curious and excited Ethan while Lena, Calla, Ginny and Evie tuned them out and talked about the the latest books and other things. Nobody saw much of Percy over the next few days, he spent most of his time in his room, only coming out for meals.
A week after Harry's arrival at The Burrow, Fred, George and the Lockhart siblings trudged down the stairs and into the kitchen, still in their pajamas to each be handed a Hogwarts letter. They all seated themselves in their chairs at the table and eagerly opened up the envelopes. As they all read their separate letters, Ethan started pouting a bit, which did not go unnoticed by Lena and Calla.
"What's wrong Ethan?" they asked him, getting everyone else's attention. Evie tilted her head curiously.
"This says that students are allowed a cat, an owl, or a toad. Does that mean I can't bring Orion with me?" He asked sadly, looking at his sisters. Lena and Calla giggled as they looked at their little brother.
"Ethan, I think Mum and Dad already talked to Dumbledore about that and he agreed to let you bring Orion. Just like he did with Ren and Eleanor." Lena answered him, playfully nudging him in his side. He smiled at them.
"Really?" he said happily. Lena and Calla nodded their heads, and Ethan smiled happily.
"Uhh… Who's Orion?" Fred asked the four sibling, causing them to chuckle.
"Orion is Ethan's Arctic Fox. He found it in the forest a few years ago and he's had him since." Calla answered him. The others nodded in understanding and went back to eating and reading their letters. Lena, Calla and the others found the list of required books and started reading through them.
Second Year students required:
The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 by Miranda Goshawk
Break with a Banshee by Gilderoy Lockhart
Gadding with Ghouls by Gilderoy Lockhart
Holidays with Hags by Gilderoy Lockhart
Travels with Trolls by Gilderoy Lockhart
Voyages with Vampires by Gilderoy Lockhart
Wanderings with Werewolves by Gilderoy Lockhart
Year with the Yeti by Gilderoy Lockhart
Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie all groaned, "Just peachy..." They all murmured in unison.
Fred had finished reading his own list and peered over Harry's shoulder at his list.
"You've been told to get all Lockhart's books too!" Fred stated, "The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a fan - bet it's a witch." he said. At that moment, Fred's eyes met Mrs. Weasley's and he quickly busied himself with the toast and eggs on his plate.
"That lot won't come cheap, Mum." said George, glancing at him parents, "Lockhart's books are really expensive…" he said.
"Well, we'll manage." Mrs. Weasley said, looking slightly worried. "I expect we'll be able to pick up most of Ginny's things second-hand." she added.
"Oh, you're starting at Hogwarts this year too?" Harry asked Ginny. Lena and Calla rolled their eyes and smiled. Ginny blushed wildly and nodded her head.
Seconds later, Percy walked into the kitchen, already dressed in a knitted tank top with his Hogwarts prefect badge pinned on it.
Morning all." Percy greeted, "Lovely day," he said and sat down in the only remaining vacant chair at the table. He jumped up almost immediately and pulled out an old grey feathered owl from under him.
"Errol!" Ron said, taking the limp owl from Percy's hands and extracting the letter from under its wing. "Finally! He's got Hermione's answer. I wrote to her saying we were going to try and rescue you from the Dursleys." Ron explained to Harry. He then carried Errol back to the perch and tried to stand him up but he continued to fall over, so then he just laid Errol on the draining board and muttered "Pathetic," before coming back to his seat and opening up the letter. He cleared his throat and read the letter out loud:
Dear Ron, Lena, Calla and Harry (if you're there),
I hope everything went alright and that Harry is okay and that you didn't do anything illegal to get him out, Ron, because that would get Harry in trouble too. I've been really worried and if Harry is alright, please let me know right away, but perhaps you should send a different owl or get Lena or Calla to text me because I think another delivery will finish your owl off.
I'm very busy with school work, of course, and we're going to London next Wednesday to buy my new books. Why don't we all meet in Diagon Alley?
Let me know what's going on as soon as you can.
Love from Hermione.
"Well that fits nicely, we can go and get all your things then too." Mrs. Weasley said, starting to clear the table with some help from Lena, Calla and Evie.
Once the table had been cleared and everyone was left to their own devices, Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie planned to go up a hill to a small paddock the Weasleys owned. It was surrounded by trees that blocked it from view of the village below, so they could practise Quidditch there as long they didn't fly too high. Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie sat on one side close to the trees and watched as the Fred, George, Ron and Harry threw apples to each other.
A few minutes later, they all marched back down the hill, with their broomsticks over their shoulders. They had asked Percy if he wanted to join them, but he declined, saying he was busy with something. So far, the others had only seen Percy at meal times. Otherwise, he stayed in his room.
"Wish I knew what he was up to." Fred said frowning, "He's not himself. His exam results came the day before we came to get you Harry, twelve O. and he hardly gloated at all."
"Ordinary Wizarding Levels." George explained, seeing the confused expressions on Harry, and the Lockhart siblings' faces. "Bill got twelve too. If we're not careful, we'll have another Head Boy in the family. I don't think I could stand the shame." George said dramatically.
Suddenly, Merlin, Lena and Calla's owl flew through the window and landed on Lena's arm. Calla gave her sister a questioning look as Lena took the letter tied to Merlin's legs and stood him up on the perch.
Who is that from? Calla asked her in her mind.
Lena chuckled awkwardly as everyone looked at her curiously, Draco and I've been keeping in touch since summer started so that's probably his letter. She responded, causing Calla to roll her eyes. Lena sat down on a chair and opened the letter, starting to silently read it. it read:
Hey Lena,
I hope you're having a great summer so far, because I am. Father bought me a new broom for school and I just recently got my letter so we'll be going to Diagon Alley to get my supplies within the next couple of days. Hope to see you there.
Draco Malfoy
Lena rolled her eyes at the short letter she got in her reply and folded it up. That has to be one of the shortest letters I've ever read. It's like three sentences! she Kelted to Calla, who chuckled in return.
Well, what do you expect? It's Malfoy we're talking about here! Calla replied, causing Lena to roll her eyes.
Lena and Calla ended their silent discussion there, only in time to hear George mention how he didn't know how they were going to afford all this stuff considering how many things they needed. They met the curious eyes of Ethan and Evie who looked up at them.
How are we going to get all this stuff? they asked in unison.
Lena and Calla exchanged a look and chuckled, You'll see, they said.
The following Wednesday, they were all woken up bright and early by Mrs. Weasley. After a quick breakfast of sandwiches, they all pulled on their coats, Ren and Eleanor let outside to play while the others were gone and Mrs. Weasley took a flower pot off the mantelpiece and peered inside.
"We're running low, Arthur," she informed, "We'll need to get more today. Ah, well, Guests first! After you Harry dear!"
Harry stared down at the flower pot, confused until Ron spoke up.
"Oh! I forgot! They've never travelled by Floo powder before!" Ron said, looking at the confused expressions on Harry, Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie's faces.
"Never?" Mrs. Weasley asked them, "But how did you get to Diagon Alley last time?" she asked them.
"Hagrid took us there." Lena, Calla and Harry answered her.
"Well, Floo powder is a lot quicker. But, my goodness, you've never travelled by Floo powder before-" Mrs. Weasley started.
"They'll be fine Mum." Fred interrupted, "Watch us first you guys." he added to them as he grabbed a pinch of powder from the flower pot and threw it into the fire. When the fire turned emerald green, he stepped in and shouted "Diagon Alley" as he vanished.
"You must speak clearly, dears." Mrs. Weasley said to them as George dipped his hand into the pot. Ethan and Evie looked startled and slightly scared as they watched George disappear into the green fire, "and mind you get out at the right grate."
"The right what?" Harry asked nervously as he stared at the fireplace.
"Um.. Mrs. Weasley, would it be alright if Lena and I took Ethan and Evie with us through the Floo Network? We don't want them to get lost, since they have no idea where they will be." Calla asked Mrs. Weasley.
Mrs. Weasley nodded, "It would be a bit harder to get through the fire with two people but of course you can dears.' she said, as she offered them the flowerpot.
Lena nodded and grabbed Ethan's hand before taking a handful of the powder and throwing it into the fire. Once the fire turned emerald green, she pulled Ethan into the fire along with her as she shouted "Diagon Alley!" and they both disappeared.
Evie looked at the fireplace unsurely, "Is it safe?" She asked unsurly.
Calla smiled and grabbed her hand, "People use it everyday so it should be fine, Evie." She said and pulled Evie to the fireplace. She grabbed a handful of the powder like Lena and threw it into the fire. She stepped through along with Evie as soon as the fire turned green and shouted "Diagon Alley!"
Lena and Ethan both slid out of the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron and groaned as they landed on the floor. Lena looked slightly pale and Ethan looked like he was going to throw up.
"Can we never do that again?" Ethan asked, closing his eyes.
Lena and Calla heard a pair of chuckles from above them. They looked up and saw Fred and George standing above them with identical smirks on their faces.
"If we don't use the Floo system-"Fred started,
"Then how will we get home?" George smirked as they helped the brother and sister up.
Seconds later, Calla and Evie slid out and landed only a couple of inches away from where Lena and Ethan were lying seconds ago.
"You two doing alright?" Fred and George asked Calla and Evie as they offered them a hand to help them up.
"That certainly isn't my favorite way to travel." Calla said as she got up. Fred and George chuckled as they led them over to Lena and Ethan who sat at a table close by.
Soon everyone except for Harry had shown up at the Leaky Cauldron. Ron explained to them how Harry stuttered while pronouncing the name of the place and how they all hoped that he had only gone one grate too far.
"Well let's go out and find him." Lena and Calla said. The others nodded in agreement and everyone entered Diagon Alley. They all decided to find Harry before buying anything else so they all set off as a group together to look for their black-haired, green-eyed friend.
"There he is!" Ron shouted after a few minutes of searching. Everyone looked up to where Ron was pointing.
They saw Harry standing in front of Gringotts, along with Hagrid and Hermione. Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Mr. Weasley, Lena, Calla, Evie and Ethan set off, sprinting down the crowded street towards Harry. Hagrid spotted them first and grinned as he pointed them out.
"Harry!" Mr. Weasley panted, "We hoped you'd only gone a grate too far…" he said, wiping sweat from his forehead, "Molly's frantic, she's coming now." he added.
"Where did you end up?" Ron asked him.
"Knockturn Alley." Hagrid answered him grimly.
"Brilliant" Fred and George said together. Lena and Calla sent them a strange look. From how Hagrid said the name, it didn't sound like a fun place to be.
"We've never been allowed in." Ron added enviously.
"I should ruddy hope not." Hagrid said.
At that moment, Mrs. Weasley came into view, her handbag was swinging in one hand and Ginny was clinging on to the other hand.
"Oh Harry, I'm glad you're safe. You could have been anywhere!" she gasped out. She took a large clothes brush out of her bag and started to brush off the soot and dust that was clinging to Harry's robes. Mr. Weasley took Harry's broken glasses and gave them a quick tap with his wand before returning them, completely fixed.
"Well, I gotta be off." Hagrid said quickly after being thanked by Mrs. Weasley multiple times for finding Harry, "See yeh at Hogwarts!" he said and strode away.
"Bye Hagrid!" Lena and Calla called after him, earning a wave in return. Ethan and Evie stared in wonder as Hagrid walked through the busy street.
"Wow!" Ethan and Evie said in unison as they watched Hagrid, causing everyone else to chuckle.
"Hermione! It's great to see you again!" Lena and Calla said. They hugged Hermione and then turned to Ethan and Evie.
"You met these two briefly, at KIng's Cross station I believe, but they never had a proper introduction." Calla said to Hermione.
"Hermione, meet, Ethan and Evie, our younger brother and sister. Ethan and Evie, meet Hermione, one of our best friends at Hogwarts." Lena continued.
"It's nice to meet you both!" Hermione said to them. Ethan and Evie agreed and greeted her back before they all headed up the stairs leading to Gringotts.
"Guess who I saw at Borgin and Burkes." Harry said to Ron, Hermione, Lena and Calla, as they climbed up the steps. "Malfoy and his father." Harry answered their confused looks.
"Really?" Lena asked, "You saw Draco in Knockturn Alley?" she asked him curiously. Harry nodded his head.
"Did Lucius Malfoy buy anything?" Mr. Weasley asked sharply from behind them.
"No, he was selling." Harry answered.
"So, he's worried." Mr. Weasley said, "Oh, I'd love to get Lucius Malfoy for something." he said excitedly.
"Arthur, be careful." Mrs. Weasley butted in as they walked past a bowing goblin and into the bank. "That family's nothing but trouble, don't go biting off more than you can chew." she added. Lena sighed as she heard the statement about the Malfoy family.
Not all of them are that bad. she willed into Calla's mind with a pout, causing Calla to chuckle.
Mr. Weasley was about to retort to Mrs. Weasley, but when he spotted Hermione's parents standing nervously at the counter, waiting for Hermione to introduce them, he said:
"You're Muggles!" Mr. Weasley said excitedly. "What's that you've got? Oh you're changing Muggle money? Molly, look!" he pointed at the ten-pound notes that Mr. Granger held in his hand.
"We'll meet you back here." Ron said to Hermione as the Lockharts, Weasleys and Harry were led off to their underground vaults by another Gringotts goblin.
First, they went to Vault 214, the Lockharts' vault. The journey to the vault on the small goblin driven carts was more enjoyable to Harry, Lena and Calla the second time around, since they had more people in the cart and they knew what to expect. For Evie and Ethan on the other hand, the ride was more intense and terrifying than anything else they had ever experienced. Lena and Calla giggled lightly as they saw the expressions on their younger brother and sister's faces. They came to a stop in front of the vault and the Lockhart siblings got off to open the gold door.
Ethan and Evie gasped as they saw the coins sitting inside the vault.
"Whoa…" They said as they followed their sisters inside. Lena and Calla chuckled and took out their bags.
"Alright, we only have two of these bags, so we'll carry all the money with us, you guys can take some into your pockets if you want." Calla said to them as she and Lena began to grab handfuls of coins and put them into bags.
Ethan and Evie both grabbed a handful of some silver Sickles and a few Gold Galleons, then stepped out of the vault with Lena and Calla.
The goblin closed the vault again and they all piled back into the cart and headed to the Weasleys' vault. Harry and the Lockharts' heart sank at the lack of money inside the vault. There was only a small pile of Sickles and one Galleon. Mrs Weasley walked inside and grabbed some of the money from a corner before retreating back to the cart. Next came Harry's vault. He quickly and guiltily got out of the cart and hastily shoved a few handfuls of coins into his leather bag before the Weasleys could see too much of his vault.
After they had all collected the money, they went back outside and went their separate ways. Percy went on his own to get a new quill. Fred and George had found their friend, Lee Jordan. Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were going to get a second-hand robe. Mr. Weasley insisted that the Grangers join him in the Leaky Cauldron for a drink. Lena and Calla took Ethan and Evie to get their wands and robes. And Harry, Hermione and Ron were left to their own devices.
Lena and Calla first took their younger siblings to get fitted for their school robes. They walked into Madam Malkin's robe shop. The bell rang as they walked in and the lady turned to face them with a smile.
"Hogwarts, dears?" she asked them. Ethan and Evie nodded. She beckoned them forward and stood them on some stools to get them measured.
Lena and Calla waited for them in the chairs near the door as they both got fitted for robes. Then, after they had finished and gotten their robes, Lena and Calla guided Evie and Ethan down the street towards Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC.
"This is where everyone gets their wands." Lena told them as they entered the door. "Hello? Mr. Ollivander?" she called out into the old and seemingly empty store.
Suddenly, a man popped up from behind the front desk. "Ah, Miss Lena and Miss Calla Lockhart, it is a pleasure to see you both again." he said first turning towards Lena, "Mahogany wood with Unicorn hair, still working well for you?" he asked her. She nodded, so he smiled and turned towards Calla, "And the Rosewood with Veela hair core still staying strong?" he asked her, causing her to nod.
He then turned to Ethan and Evie, who stared up at him with curiosity, and scanned them over with his silvery eyes, "Ah, I see you have brought your little brother and sister with you today, to get their wands I presume?" he asked. Once he got the nods of agreement, he snapped his fingers and walked back to his collection of wands, "Very well, sir, please hold out your wand arm." He said to Ethan.
Ethan looked back at Lena and Calla in confusion and mouthed "What?" to them as he saw them sitting on the chairs near the door.
"He means your writing hand." Lena answered his question with a chuckle.
"Oh," Ethan said and held out his right hand. Suddenly, a tape measure with silver markings magically floated to Ethan. "Uh… What is the tape measure for?" he asked Ollivander as the tape measure measured the space from his shoulder to the floor.
"Measuring your magical core." Ollivander answered him as he scanned through the shelves of wand boxes. "That will do." he said and snapped his fingers to stop the tape measure. He opened up one of the boxes and handed the wand over to Ethan. "Oak wood and Phoenix feather, 11 inches." he said.
Ethan unsurly took the wand into his hands. He glanced at Lena and Calla and saw them gesturing for him to wave it, so he did. He waved the wand and instantly, one of the shelves near the top collapsed. Ollivander immediately snatched the wand from his hand. "Sorry…" Ethan mumbled causing Evie to giggle.
Ollivander just waved his hand, "Not a problem. But, that certainly isn't the right wand for you. But, no matter, as I always say, 'The wand chooses the wizard.' Mr. Lockhart." Ollivander explained to him. "Hm… I wonder if you may have a similar core to your sister…" he said as pulled out another wand and handed it to Ethan, "Beech wood with Unicorn hair core." he said.
Ethan waved the wand and one of the boxes flew out of its place, narrowly missing Lena and Calla as they jumped out of the way. Ethan jumped slightly and put the wand down. Ollivander stared at Ethan for a moment, rubbing his own chin and looking deep in thought.
"I wonder…" Ollivander said as he hurried and took another wand out from one of the shelves, "Blackthorn wood and Dragon heartstring core, slightly temperamental and good for Dark Arts." he said, handing it to Ethan. Ethan took the wand and his eyes widened as a warm breeze went through him, making his already messy chocolate brown hair swish around a bit. Lena and Calla cheered and clapped happily. Ollivander smiled, "Brilliant! The wand has picked you."
Ethan smiled and walked to stand next to Lena and Calla to wait for Evie. Evie gulped and stepped forward as she received encouraging looks from her siblings. After Ollivander had measured her, he looked through the boxes and brought one out.
"Alright, first, let us try a wand similar to your brother's." Ollivander said, handing her a wand, "yew wood with Dragon heartstring core." Evie raised the wand above her head and the vase on the desk shattered.
"Oops!" Evie squeaked.
"Nope! Not that one!" Ollivander stated, taking the wand back and thinking for a minute before sighing, "You all seem to be tricky customers and have fairly old wands… so maybe we should try this…" He muttered as he went to the back and pulled out a dusty old box. He took the wand out and showed it to the others. "This wand was made long ago, it is Hazel wood with a Kelpie mane core, it was commonly used in the past." he said.
"Okay…?" Evie said. She took the wand in her hand and waved it. She gasped and little sparks came out of the tip of the wand. "Um… is that good?" she asked.
Ollivander smiled at her, "Yes, it is very good. That means that wand is now yours." he said and then turned to Lena and Calla, "That would be fourteen Galleons total for the wands." he said to them. Lena and Calla handed him the money and he smiled as they walked out of the store, "Take care of those wands, now!" he called out cheerily.
Once they left Ollivanders, the four siblings went to several different shops to get everything else they needed. After they had all gotten their quills and ingredients and such, they entered the Magical Menagerie in order to get Evie a pet.
"Pick whatever pet you want." Calla said to Evie as they all started to wander around the store.
Evie spotted a beautiful little tabby kitten and walked over to it's cage. The kitten looked up at her and let out a tiny meow as he stared up at Evie with beautiful grey eyes. Evie smiled as she pick up the kitten, feeling its soft fur.
"Lena! Calla! Can I have him?" Evie called to her sisters, who were looking at owls on the other side of the room. They looked up and walked towards Evie when they heard their names being called.
"Aw He's adorable." Lena and Calla cooed, causing Ethan to roll his eyes. They agreed to buy Evie the kitten and walked over to the counter where the saleswoman stood.
"Ah, I see you have chosen little Hercules." the woman stated. "He is fairly new and young, but still well trained." she said to to.
"Yeah, I really like him." Evie said to her, cradling the tabby cat in her arms.
"Very well, that will be nine Galleons please." the woman said with a smile. She went to the back and brought a little carrying cage. "Thank you very much and take good care of him." she said as she handed over the cage and took the money.
"Hello, Hercules!" Evie said once they were out of the shop, holding Hercules close to her face. Hercules meowed in response. Evie then put him in his cage so they wouldn't lose him as they walked down the street.
"I think we should head to Flourish and Blotts now, it's almost time to meet up with the others there, anyway." Lena said, looking at the clock.
As the four siblings got closer to the book shop, they saw a large crowd formed in front of the entrance and trying to get in. A banner stretched out over the top of the upper windows told them the reason for the large crowd.
Gilderoy Lockhart
will be signing copies of his autobiography
MAGICAL ME
today 12:30 - 4:30
The four siblings groaned as they read this. They trudged begrudgingly towards the store and squeezed inside. They all grabbed copies of all the books they needed and walked towards where they could spot all the Weasleys standing along with Mr. and Mrs. Granger.
Why did he have to be here today, of all days… Ethan and Evie Kelted to their sisters as they all reached the others.
I don't know guys… Lena started.
And trust us, we don't want to see him any more than you do. Calla added.
"Ah, there you four are! Now we only have to wait for Ron, Harry and Hermione." Mrs. Weasley said, sounding breathless and fixing her hair. "We'll be able to see him in a minute," she added.
Lena and Calla sighed and glared at where Gilderoy sat. Suddenly they both felt a weight on their shoulders and looked up to see Fred and George with one arm around their shoulders and one around Ethan and Evie's shoulders.
"How'd shopping go for you guys?" George asked them from between Lena and Ethan.
"Good." Lena said with a shrug. "We got everything we needed, the books are all that's left." she informed him.
They all kept on chatting and were soon joined by Harry, Ron and Hermione who had just squeezed into the store and grabbed a book.
A short, irritable-looking man was hurrying around, taking pictures from different angles. He snapped at Ron to move out of the way so he could get a picture for the Daily Prophet.
Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie leaned on Fred and George and tried to make themselves as unnoticeable as possible.
"Whats the big deal?" Ron muttered as he rubbed his foot, which the photographer had stepped on.
Gilderoy Lockhart must have heard him because at that moment, he looked up and spotted Harry and the others standing there "It can't be, Harry Potter?" he asked.
The crowd parted as Gilderoy hurried past to where Harry stood and pulled him to the front. The crowd cheered excitedly as Gilderoy waved over the photographer to take pictures of them. The camera click madly and emitted a thick smoke that wafted over to the Weasleys and Lockhart siblings, causing them to cough and sneeze.
"BIg smile now, Harry." Gilderoy Lockhart said, "This is going to be worth the front page."
Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie all glared and huffed at their uncle as he forced Harry to take pictures with him. Then, he made the announcement that he was going to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts this year.
"We have to deal with him for an entire year!?" Lena and Calla said incredulously.
"And our first year there too!" Ethan and Evie blurted out grudgingly.
Mrs. Weasley looks at them, appalled at the way they addressed their uncle. "Why are you four so angry about seeing your uncle?" she asked them, causing them to sigh and shake their heads.
"It's not important." Calla answered.
Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie, along with George, Fred and Mrs. Weasley then quickly bought all their book and headed to the area where Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione stood with another person.
"Ron!" Mr. Weasley yelled, when he saw him move towards the person. "What are you doing? It's mad in here, let's go outside." he said.
"Well, well, well- if it isn't Arthur Weasley." said the voice of Mr. Malfoy from behind Draco, with a hand on his shoulder, sneering at the Weasleys.
Lena's eyes landed on Draco, who was sneering at Ron. You might want to stop sneering before your face permanently gets frozen like that. She willed into her mind, giving him a light glare.
Draco's eyes widened as he looked around before finally spotting Lena. W-What are you doing here? I mean… not that I'm not happy to see you, but why are you with the Weasleys? And who are those two eleven-year-olds with you? he said back in her mind.
It's great to see you too Draco, but I would appreciate it if you didn't try to pick a fight with my friends everytime you see them. she said with a glare, Second, I'm here with the Weasleys because we are staying with them until the school year starts. And third, these two are my younger siblings, Ethan and Evie. she answered him. She noticed him scowl at the Weasleys again and her eyes started to turn a little red. Draco Lucius Malfoy! Quit scowling at people! Dear Merlin, if Ethan and Evie see you like this, they are going to hate you before they even get a chance to meet you, you idiot!
Draco looked back at her, fear in his eyes as he saw Lena's eyes turning red. But they were both soon brought out of their silent conversation by a loud thud of metal as Ginny's cauldron went flying. They looked up to realize that Mr. Weasley had thrown Mr. Malfoy into a bookshelf, causing heavy spellbooks to rain down on their head.
Lena's eyes suddenly turned pink as she looked at Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy fighting, and turned to face her sister, What happened? she asked Calla as they heard Fred and George cheering Mr. Weasley on in the fight.
Calla sighed and answered, Mr. Malfoy decided it was a good idea to insult the Weasley family and the Grangers as well. she Kelted back as Hagrid hurried over to them and pulled Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy apart.
Mr. Malfoy, who was still holding Ginny's Transfiguration book, shoved it back into her hands, eyes shining with hatred, "Here girl - take your book back, it's the best your father can do," he said as he pulled himself out of Hagrid's grip and beckoned Draco to follow him out of the store.
Draco looked back unsurely at Lena, who was glaring at his father with crimson eyes, before he turned and followed his father. See you at Hogwarts, Lena, he willed into her mind as he exited the store.
Hagrid then started to talk to Mr. Weasley about how he should have ignored Mr. Malfoy, and how no one in that family was worth listening to because they had bad blood. He then ushered them all quickly out of the shop. Mrs. Granger were shaking in fright and Mrs. Weasley looked at Mr. Weasley with fury.
"A great example you set for the children, Arthur… fighting in public! What must have Gilderoy Lockhart thought?" She said.
"Oh, he was pleased." Fred answered her, slinging his arm around Calla as George did the same with Lena, "Didn't you hear him as we left? He asked the photographer if he could work the fight into the report, said it was good publicity." he explained.
The group calmed down a bit as they all headed back to the Leaky Cauldron. The Weasleys, Harry and the Lockhart siblings said their goodbye to the Grangers before taking their shopping and setting off back to The Burrow using the Floo Powder.
For Lena, Calla, Ethan and Evie, the Floo network was not very enjoyable, but they just figured it would take some getting used to. They stepped through the fireplace, one at a time and headed back to the Burrow.
Well thats the end of the chapter! I hope you enjoyed it. Pleas Favorite and Review if you like this story or even the last one and have anything you would like to tell us or say!
Anyway, that's about it!
