I'm sure most people are coming from 'A Modern Myth' if not go check it out.
Elia and T stood before the door at the Burrow, one with a look of excitement, one of fear. Molly Weasley threw open the door before hugging the two girls and dragginging them inside. She told them how she was excited to finally have them there and how Bill and Charlie even came down to say hi. Bill and Charlie had gone to Hogwarts with Tanya, for a short time as they were older than her. After they graduated, they pursued their choice of career and moved out of country. It was rare to hear about them.
Tanya came back to reality when she was picked up and spun around, Charlie grinning at her.
"Long time no see, little Wyvern." He greeted.
After hugging Elia, Bill picked up T from behind and squeezed.
"How have you two been?" Bill asked.
Elia spoke before T could telling them about her first year, she could see the panic on her sister's face so she got between her and the crowd.
"Uh— She… We're having a swell time at Hogwarts." Elia made up, with a large grin, "Tanya's already going to be a Slytherin Prefect soon."
Charlie scoffed, "She managed to get that? Well I'll be damned."
Tanya punched his arm for his comment and he laughed, rubbing the spot.
Molly laughed from the kitchen, "You had that one coming Charlie. Don't you start upsetting my girls now, we're all family."
Tanya smiled warmly, she wasn't use to having such a large family. She never had dozens of brothers, nor a mother throughout her life. It was always just her, Elia, their father and her grandmother Elena. Then her muggle grandmother Thalia, mother of Fidelia, died not too long ago. They missed her terribly as they missed Fidelia. It was nice to finally have a motherly figure in their lives, Molly would see to that.
"Yeah, we just got here." Bill added, "Can't have you dying on us now."
"I'll have you know Tanya is going to be an excellent Prefect!" Elia defended sternly to Charlie, pointing up at him, "Well… she'll certainly get everyone in line and not cause anymore trouble."
Molly came over with a smile at Tanya, "I'm sure you will, deary. Go on now, get well acquainted and catch up. Percy, Ginny, Ron, and the twins are upstairs if you're wondering. Food should be ready soon."
Elia and T sat outside after dinner, Elia leaning on her sister.
"So... you and Charlie gonna date?"
Tanya snorted before shaking her head. She thought back to Molly's comments on the girls being almost a part of the family.
"Sorry to the woman of the house but I don't think so. Did you see the fear on his face? He just wants to focus on his Dragons and I want to focus on creating new potions and spells."
"Who knew love could be more scarier than Dragons and potions." Elia's small voice mulled over.
Tanya sighed and looked up to the sky. The sisters sitting in silence for a long time before they were told to come back inside. Elia stayed with Ginny and the twins heading to bed while Tanya stayed up on the couch with Charlie.
"So how are your dragons?" She asked him.
"They're good, how is your potion brewing coming along?"
"Going good, Snape doesn't care anymore."
"You finally beat the old snake? Poor guy has to deal with you."
The two began to laugh quietly trying not to wake anyone. The twins came down and noticed the two still up so they slowly went back upstairs trying not to get caught. Tanya noticed them and waved them over. They were gonna have a nighttime Quidditch match. They obviously couldn't refuse such an offer.
The next morning Elia and Molly found Tanya leaning on Charlie, both asleep. There was a book on Dragons before them. Molly smiled widely before going to make breakfast and asking Elia what she thought of her other sons.
"Fred and George are certainly a riot." Elia responded, helping her set the table, "Ginny, I can't wait to start at Hogwarts with all of us."
"I just hope she'll make good friends." Molly said, "She's my only girl and a lot more… outspoken than her brothers."
"It's a good thing. She already has me as a friend, Tanya will be there too. Don't worry Mrs. Weasley."
"I trust you girls." She told her, "Now what about the rest of my boys?"
"Ron is nice to me, so is Percy but they can be a bit scared of my sister though." Elia admitted sheepishly, "I never got the chance to personally speak much to Charlie or Bill, not like Tanya. Charlie looks to be making my big sister happy, so I'm happy."
Molly giggled, "They certainly are a pair. Convince her to join our lot, my Charlie will certainly treat her right!"
Elia thought it over, Charlie was certainly sweet and very passionate about Dragons. Something they were able to bond over due to Elia's love for magical creatures. Charlie showed her all sorts of Dragons and his stories, Tanya grinning beside him from his tales and the cheeky smile her little sister held the whole time from admiration. He also loved Quidditch, a Chaser when he was still at Hogwarts while Tanya was a Beater for Slytherin. Certainly an achievement to get into the team, especially of a House thought to be the most ignorant when it came to blood lines and sexes.
But would Tanya even be interested, she thought? Tanya was complicated, never enveloping herself in romances. It was a waste of her time from her work, her ambition for Potions, Transfiguration, and her magical weapons.
So she shrugged, "It's all Tanya's decision. I never know what goes on in her mind, nor her heart."
"Maybe one day you two can be apart of this family. The more the merrier." Molly told her, "Now what about Bill?"
Elia began to stutter and her cheeks reddened. Speak of the devil, his tall figure came down from the stairs and into the kitchen.
"You see those two lovebirds on your couch, Mum?"
"Hush now, darling and eat your breakfast!"
I wasn't born
To be
Soft and quite
I was born
To make the world
Shatter
and shake
At my fingertips
