Back to the Burrow
"Daisy, are you okay?" Daisy turned to the door in which Fleur was standing in front of.
"Um...Well...This dress doesn't seem to fit," Daisy said looking down at the dress that seemed stuck at her knees as she desperately tried to pull it up.
"Oh, is it too big?" Fleur asked, Daisy rolled her eyes.
"Not exactly" Daisy said finally collapsing on the tiny stool.
"Well Bill told me zat you were about ze same size as me, do you want me to get you a 4?"
"Yeah, or a 6, that may work out better." Daisy shook her head, men were oblivious to size. How on Earth could Bill have mistaken Daisy for someone as small as Fleur?
"'Ere you go" Fleur passed two dresses over the top and Daisy took them both, and immediately took the 6 off the hanger and found that it was much easier to pull on and somewhat zip up. she then opened the door and Fleur gasped.
"It looks beautiful!" She exclaimed and led Daisy straight to the three-way mirror. Beautiful is not what Daisy would describe it as, more like horrifying it was a pink dress that seemed to hang onto every roll of fat that Daisy had"Oh and look at the way it shows off your curves, you look like a lovely women."
"Thanks" was all Daisy managed to sputter out and as she changed out of her dress and into her normal clothes, she could think of nothing more than the fact that she would be the only girl who would have an ugly dress on. They both headed out of the store, (with the dress).
"Well I am done, do you need to go-"Daisy cut Fleur off.
"No I'm done" Daisy smiled, "Lets just go to the Burrow."
"Why don't we apparate togezer, zere iz zome security around it" Fleur offered her hand, and Daisy took it, confused at what she could possibly mean by security, Bill hadn't mentioned anything about his family being in any kind of danger, but maybe they added it to make sure nothing would happen to the younger ones. And by the time Daisy had thought of all the possibilities as to why they needed it, she landed on the back porch.
The Burrow looked more or less the same as it had when she was last there. Some of the painting on the side of the house was peeling, but nothing really noticeable. She followed Fleur into the kitchen and found that Mrs. Weasley, Ginny and two other people that Daisy had never met, all taking part in the dinner preparations. Fleur immediacy greeted them all and then excused herself to go find Bill. Daisy stood there for awhile, watching Fleur leave and Mrs. Weasley turned to her and upon recognizing her pulled her into a hug.
"Daisy dear,I've been so worried about you," Daisy hugged the women back grinning like crazy over the affection Mrs. Weasley always seemed to show, "I even told Bill just the other day that he needed to owl you and make sure you were somewhere safe, can't be too careful in these dark times."
As soon as Mrs. Weasley let go of Daisy, Ginny took her chance to hug her.
"Oh my god your nearly done growing!" Daisy pulled back to see that the girl was almost her same height. Ginny laughed and Mrs. Weasley pulled her attention back to the two strangers.
"Daisy, this is Nymphadora Lupin" Mrs. Weasley exaggerated the Lupin part of her name. Daisy shook hands with the pink haired women.
"It's not really Nymphadora it's Tonks" She said, glaring a little at Mrs. Weasley, who paid no mind to it
"And this is Ginny and Ronald's friend Hermionie Granger" Daisy shook hands with the bushy brunette who smiled and went back to cutting vegetables.
"Speaking of Ronald where is he?" Daisy asked as she peered into the oven.
"He's out on the garden degnoming with the twins "Mrs. Weasley said, as she pointed her wand at two heads of lettuce which then began to cut themselves,"What have you been up to dear?"
"I'm working as a waitress at The Leaky Cauldron and living there as well." she inwardly cringed as Mrs. Weasley took a sharp breath, knowing full well that she was about to be lectured.
"Working at the Leaky Cauldron, while it's being over-run by You-Know-Whos followers and living there, ALONE! Have you lost all of your senses Daisy Renee Fletcher?!" Daisy opened her mouth to respond, but Mrs. Weasley didn't giver her anytime "Your not going back to that place, it's dangerous, I wouldn't even be able to sleep at the thought of letting you go out alone. No , your not going back there, your staying in this house, where it's safe!"
"But Molly-"
"Don't but Molly me, I've always considered you one of my children and I won't let any of my children just wander the streets around Diagon Alley asking to be killed." Mrs. Weasley pushed Daisy into a chair, putting a cup of tea in her hands .
"Thank you" Daisy said sipping her tea.
"Your welcome dear" Mrs. Weasley smiled " I'll have some of the boys go with you to pack up your things. You can stay with Ginny and Hermione."
"Okay" Daisy agreed, knowing that arguing with Mrs. Weasley was useless and to be honest she was secretly glad to be taken in, again. But before she could even dwell on the matter she was tackled on to the floor"what?"
"Daisy!" she looked up to see Fred and George standing above her. George offered her help up "You shouldn't have sat there" he said
"We put a trap there so that Mum would go flying out of her seat tonight" Fred said and he a George got a whack on their back from their mother. Daisy stared at the two, and noticing.
"Wait, George are you missing an ear?" Daisy moved the hair around where his left ear should have been.
"Yeah, nasty looking isn't it?" George laughed.
"Smells as well, can't scrub behind his ear!" Fred said laughing as well. Daisy rolled her eyes, it really was amazing the trouble those two seemed to gt themselves into.
"Alright, get out of my kitchen if your not helping!" Mrs. Weasley said, directing her comment to her sons.
"Okay Mum" They said together, and left the room, but not with out stealing a cookie each that Mrs. Weasley had just laid out. Daisy stared at her tea watching the women help cooking in the kitchen. She then got up.
"I'm going to go for a quick peek around the house" Daisy said standing, Mrs. Weasley nodded at her, Daisy walked out of the kitchen and moved into the living room and she looked out into the garden, where she saw Ronald, yelling, and probably cursing while waving his hand around a gnome firmly attached to his index finger. She giggled and opened the back door just as the gnome went flying off his hand.
"Bloody Bugger," Ron muttered sucking on his finger. A tall boy with dark hair and glasses laughed at him, Ron scowled "It's not funny Harry, it really hurt me.", the comment didn't help Harry as it made him laugh even harder, he only stopped when he noticed Daisy watching them.
"Um...Hello..." he said uncertainly, Ron looked up to Daisy, it took him a second to register her face. His face broke to a smile.
"Daisy, what are you doing here?" Ron asked, Daisy grinned and hugged the much taller boy.
"Wow Ronald not even a 'Good to see you' or a 'How are you?'" She quirked a brow and laughed "I'm here because of your brother, his fiance and your mum."
"Sounds about right' He said kicking a stone that was nearby.
"Yup" Daisy looked at the boy standing next to Ron "I'm sorry, I feel so rude, I'm Daisy Fletcher, long time family friend"
"Harry Potter" they shook hands and Daisy easily found the famous scar upon his head.
"I thought Fred and George were supposed to be helping you." Daisy said looking around for two red heads.
"They were, and then they left saying the forgot about something" Harry said, Ron rolled his eyes.
"They're just slacking off cuz Bill and Charlie are about to play quidditch" Ron added bitterly, "And now we're stuck here so Mum doesn't kill us."
"Really quidditch?" Daisy asked, she grinned "Well better make sure they don't kill each other."
"But we wanted you to help us" Ron pleaded, but it was too late, Daisy was already over the garden wall and running out to the famous Weasley quidditch field.
And that's the end of Chapter 2, yeah I know it was kind of boring and lacking anything exciting,but it was needed...And I'm really sorry I haven't updated in over year, there's really no reason, I just forgot that I had it...I know thats probably a sin...But forgive me, I'm back in the writing mood. And yes to answer your questions this story is kind of (slightly) based on the movie 'My Best Friends Wedding'. Don't know if I'll make Daisy as crazy as Julia Roberts character, but it's a possibility. Anyways just review please! I love input from the readers!
