As per usual ALL BELONGS TO J.K. ROWLING except for the Brandons...they are mine... Happy reading ^^ and I'll meet you down the bottom.
OH AND ONE MORE THING: I GOT MY FIRST REVIEW THE OTHER DAY... YAYYYYYYYY Thank you to
zZhell-butterflyZz You made my day gurl.
My eyes fluttered open, glancing up to the white curtains as the sun light crept in. I could see tiny specks of dusk floating around and I made a mental note to clean my room. My ears perked up to sounds of voices coming from downstairs, I pulled the sheets closer to myself, "Fred!" Whined Ginny, "Give it back!" She demanded, I could almost imagine the cold Mrs. Weasley glare she gave off. It was scary how much she looked like her mother when she did that.
"Cold..." I moaned, incoherently, though my head was fully functioning was having trouble forming complete sentences. I stumbled over to the door – I was not a morning person – almost tripping over the stuffed bag that Ginny had left near the door.
I wandered down the stairs, wondering why it was so damn cold.
Last night, Mr and Mrs Weasley had offered to take us to the Quidditch World Cup and seeing as it was just the next day had offered for Peter and I to stay for the night at the Burrow. So here I was. We had taken the Floo Powder channel right The Burrow.
Half awake I trudged into the kitchen, and then into the pantry, and then to the refrigerator. I walked almost zombie like and moved mechanically. Having collected the ingredients I needed for a bowl of cereal, I turned around to face the astonished face of Fred Weasley.
I shrugged and asked for where the mixing bowls were.
I got a sputtered response back but it was enough. I had to stand on my tippy-toes to reach it, but I eventually got it.
I swiveled around, turning again to the face of Fred. This time he was wearing a grin.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Morning." I said.
Fred smirked and leaned back on the kitchen counter.
What was up with Fred?
I looked down, following his gaze.
I was still in my boy shorts and oversized night shirt. My eyes bulged out of their sockets.
...Standing on my tippy toes to...reaching up...
...over sized shirt...boy shorts...
Shoot! I replayed what he must have thought he saw.
I slipped on a face of calm, "Enjoying the view are you?!" I snapped as I dropped the cardboard box containing my favorite cereal: Lucky Charms, onto the kitchen island. "Very much so." He answered back as if it was the most normal thing in the world. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Well if you must know; I am wearing boy shorts underneath, so don't get your girly panties in a twist!" I snarked back. What was wrong with me! NO what was wrong with Fred?
Ginny looked from me to Fred and then back, "Okayyyy... I'll just leave you two to it then..." She trailed off, and sprinted away.
I wasn't completely oblivious; I knew I had Veela blood. But Fred Weasley had just crossed the very fine line of 'Vivianna and Fred Are Arch Nemesis'.
I entered the dining room with the little amount of dignity I had left, well, that and my cereal bowl.
The others were all seated in the dining room munching on various breakfast food.
Placed in a neat row along the table were croissants, jam donuts, blue berrie pancakes, banana pancakes, muffins, eggs and bacon.
"Morning Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley." I taking a seat next to Peter.
All the chairs around the table were full.
Except for the one chair next to mine.
I scowled, knowing why and who the seat was for, but also having to check, just in case. I peered around at the table at who was there. A smirking Bill and Charlie sat parallel to me, Ginny... I continued to list off the people that were already well into their breakfast.
The only person I could see that was missing from the dining table was the one person I hated msot: Fred.
I pressed my lips together and continued to eat my cereal.
Clearly this had been planned by Bill and Charlie! I sent glares towards them and the returned grins worthy of the Cheasire Cat.
I growled at my plate.
Fred entered the room. Looked at me and then smirked. Pulling the chair out beside me.
xo
By nine o'clock I was standing outside with my bag thrown over my shoulder and ready to go. Bill, Percy and Charlie were going to apparate over later. No doubt wanting to buy more time to gossip like old ladies about me and a certain person. I groaned in frustration.
We followed Mr. Weasley, Peter trailing behind with George and Fred, thier heads down in a tight conversation, God only knew what prank they were planning next. I decided to turn a blind eye, although Fred and George were most likey not the best influences on my tiny innocent brother, I knew they would keep him safe, though probably cause a lot of mischief along the way. I linked arms with Hermione and joined in on the conversation with Harry and Ron, only once stopping to glance at the Twins and Peter.
Mr. Weasley suddenly stopped his face lighting up with a warm smile. "Amos!" He yelled, waving as he began to walk over to a tree, where I now saw a slightly chubby man standing under the branches.
I groaned and internally cringed; please do not let it be the same Amos from my father's work. I prayed silently.
Sure enough it was.
I had run into him a few times when my father forgot his lunch and I had to un-magically deliver it to him. It wasn't that he was an unpleasant man, it was just that he had a tiny tendency to go on about himself and his family. Scratch the; He tended to go on about himself and his family alot.
"Everyone, this is Amos Diggory, works with me at the Ministry, Amos here, got the tickets for us!" Mr. Weasley said! Clapping Mr. Diggory on the back. "Are these all yours?" Mr. Diggory asked, pointing to the group.
"Oh no! No, just the red heads!" Mr. Weasley said happily. "This is Vivianna Black, Peter Black, you know the children of Thommas and Lydianna." I smiled, "Yes we've met before," as I looked up from the ground.
I jumped as a familiar face flew down from the tree, "Hello,' Said a tall boy about the same age as myself.
"Oh this is my son, Cedric, Cedric this is Vivianna and Peter." Cedric's hand shot out in a handshake. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Fred scowling, I laughed "It's a pleasure to met you," clasping his hand in mine and shaking it. "Believe me, the pleasure is all mine," His eyes darting between Fred and I. Peter greeted Cedric and shook his hand as well.
"That's Harry Potter and Hermione Gra-" He began treading lightly on Harry's last name. It was no use. Before Mr. Weasley even finished, Mr. Diggory cut him off. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Potter? Harry Potter?" Mr. Diggory asked. Harry looked at the ground. I nudged him lightly. It wasn't easy having swarms of people always remind you of your past.
Harry's parents had died defending him as a baby against Voldemort. No I'm not afraid to say his name. VOLDEMORT, Voldemort, Voldemort, Voldemort. I never have been the type to be 'afraid'. I know he's out there somewhere, and I know that one day he will come back, that's what Professor Dumbledore says. Anyway getting back to Harry, yes, well you see when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, he didn't succeed, ending with some sort of powerful magic protecting Harry. My mother and father were friends with Lilly and James Potter.
Harry looked at the ground awkwardly, "The honor is mine! Say, Cedric didn't you tell me once that you bet Gryffindor, the Quidditch team which Harry Potter was in? HO ha that would be one to tell your grand children, my Cedric bet the Harry Potter! Potter!" Cedric was quick to defend Harry but he was cut off, but this time by Mr. Weasley, "Yes well, now that everyone has been introduced, we must be on our way!" He said, clearing his voice. Mr. Diggory, chuckled and nodded his head.
xo
We arrived at a large grassy hill, "Ah HA! Here we are." Said Mr. Weasley happily, we stood in front of an old boot, Harry murmured something to no one in particular, I only just caught the end of Hermione's reply, "-it's a portkey!" She said. Oh my, I can't believe I was so stuipid! I had taken one of these before.
We all grabbed a hold of the boot on Mr. Weasley's command and off we zoomed.
I landed on the warm hard ground with a thud, or rather Fred's rock hard abs. Gosh, his days of being a beater had done him well. WHAT? I shook my head and froze.
I looked into his forest green eyes, gosh they were beautiful.
We stayed like that until the others, cleared their throats. I blushed a million shades of red and shook my head from the disturbing thoughts, pushing myself off of Fred.
I tried to ignore the stare Hermione was giving me and looked around to see where we had landed. The portkey had taken us to a hill surrounded by a mass of leafy green trees. I looked back to where Mr. Weasley was leading us and quickly caught up to the rest of the group.
The ten of us, stood peering through the line of trees. A large carnival of small tents was packed tightly outside a massive glass stadium. Huge light poles stood from the corners and small counters full of the merchandise and snacks wheeled pass. Strangely dressed wizard and witches walked by, "OI! Margery!" Yelled a young wizard dressed in a fury jacket and green swim trunks who came zooming passed.
We tracked passed the many tents until we reached an open area.
Mr. Diggory and Cedric had long gone off to find their own spot in the massive clearing, they had been smart and had reserved a spot, and had left us to navigate through the clutter of tents and find an unoccupied piece of land.
Mr. Weasley had placed each of us with a job to do. Mine, along with Fred Ginny and George was to collect fire wood, the remaining people were to set up 'camp'.
Ginny and I returned bringing armfuls of fire wood back. A fire sat a few meters away from a tiny green tent.
The tiny green tent was enchanted with a charm, inside the tent was a average sized kitchen complete with three bedrooms, a small living area
and a separate bathroom and toilet.
Ginny gasped as we were tackled by a very excited Hermione. "Wow! Hermione, I haven't seen you this excited since the day we were getting our first exam results back." I said shoving her off. "I know, it's just, you know so fascinating! You know? Just how magic works! Muggles literally have it right under their noses and they don't know!" She squealed with glee. "Yes, soooooo fascinating!" Said a voice from behind us.
Our heads turned in unison.
George stood in the entrance of the tent with a bundle of wood secured under his left arm.
"Yes! It is! Just mind boggling!" He said teasingly.
"Where's Fred?" I asked realizing his arse-hole of a brother was missing.
"Yeah, course you'd realize, Vivianna!" Said George with a sly wink.
"Very funny George." I said, in disdain.
"What's happening?" Asked Ron, as he and Harry emerged from the boys' room. I turned red, and decided to get away from George' foolishness.
"II'm going to find him, anyone need anything?" I asked casually.
This caused the four - Ron was still in the dark - to smirk. I rolled my eyes and pulled my boots back on.
Outside was still chaotic, though it had died down considerably since we had first arrived. I wove in and out of the people.
Passing a group of girls huddled around a certain someone.
"-I have to go, sorry, excuse me-" Fred stopped and looked up as I cleared my throat.
"Hello Freddikins!" I said in an sickly sweet voice. The girls around him smirked but glared at me.
Something flashed in me, I glared back at the girls. Most of them looked shocked and hurried away, except one.
I stood facing a girl with pretty bleach blond curls which framed a heart shaped face, the only thing that yelled 'DANGER' were her icy cold and calculating blue eyes. Her skin was the same creamy tone as mine and her nose hooked off in a cute ski jump like shape.
Fred looked between the two of us and then to me.
Then pulled on my arm.
I shrugged him off and gave the girl a pointed look, then without a word stalked off.
xo
Fred got back a few seconds after I did, entering the tent and staring into my eyes. I knew that he didn't fancy any of the girls there, but something I me flashed and I lost control of my usually calm demeanor.
I had a slight headache from the stress of school among other things and now this. I mean we hadn't even started school and I was already feeling the stress what would happen when we actually started school? We had our O.W.L.'s this year as well.
I shrugged and went to the kitchen quietly.
I picked up the loaf of bread on the counter and started to slice it, pulling out a pot and adding the ingredients for soup. I left it on the stove to bubble.
I felt exhausted.
My forehead became quite sweaty and my hands shook. I felt my head tingle a bit and my hand instinctively went to feel my head. My forehead was clamy. Little beads of sweat trickled down. The room started spinning and my vision blurred.
My eyes slid shut as the knife in my hand slid out. Everything went black.
Everywhere around us, was on fire.
Not just any fire, instead of the warm red hues that normal fire gave, green flames danced in their place.
Children cried and screamed.
Hooded black figures stormed through the clearing.
My eyes caught the familiar orange hair of Fred. He looked pained and frantically searched for something.
"Fred! Fred! Fred!" I called out, but he didn't turn to me. He mustn't have heard me. I ran closer trying to doge the screaming people. I finally reached him. My hand reached out, but as soon as my hand touched him I fell forward, straight though him. I realizedi was still wearing the same attire from when we set up camp, and i glanced down at the golden watch my grandmother had given me.
The golden hands pointed to exactly eleven o'clock.
A beam of green light burst though and hit him squat in the chest. His body shook and fell to the ground. "Fred? FRED! Fred!" I screamed in pain as his eyes slid closed. His body iced over.
I looked up to the sky. A dark skull stared back down at me, it's mouth opening and closing.
The dark mark.
