Chapter Three; Sibling Rivalry

Harry awoke the next morning to his little brother and sister climbing on top of him and pulling down his covers. "Come on Harry wake up!" Tobey cried.

"Yeah, if you don't hurry up you're going to miss breakfast! Mrs. Weasley sent us up here to get you up and tell you that we have to leave in one hour!" Eve exclaimed.

"Alright, alright, I'm getting up. Just let me use the bathroom first." He told them sleepily with a yawn.

"Yay!" Eve cried extending her little fists into the air. "Come on Tobey, let's go play with Cookie and Princess." She said as the two of them climbed back down onto the ground and raced downstairs while Ron and Hermione walked into the room.

"I see that you got your wakeup call." Hermione said with a grin as Harry reached for his glasses before putting them on his face and getting up.

"Yeah, is Elvis ever like that?" he asked her. For Elvis was her newly adopted five and a half year old little brother. Harry had not gotten a chance to meet him yet so he wasn't sure what he was like.

"No, he generally sleeps in unless it's Christmas or something. He's not really a morning person." She replied.

"Well I'll see you both down at the breakfast table, I've got to pee." He told them before he walked into the hallway and then turned to go into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

….

Later on that morning after everyone was dressed and ready to go, they ventured on outside. "Why are we going into the woods for?" Eve questioned as they started walking in that direction.

"Yeah, I thought that we were going to the Qudditch World Cup." Tobey said.

"We are," Ginny began. "we just need to get to the portkey first." She explained.

"Oh." Eve began. "What's a portkey?" she asked.

"It's another way that witches and wizards travel." Harry told her. "You'll see once we get there." He explained as they continued walking further into the woods.

"Oh." Eve began again. "Harry?" she questioned him anxiously.

"Yes?" he questioned her back.

"There aren't any werewolves in here are there?" she asked him.

"Well if there are, they only come out at night. They're hiding during the day. The biggest thing you'll probably see in here is either a deer or a unicorn." He told her while they continued walking. That's when all of a sudden she came to a sudden stop and gasped. Harry groaned. "What is it now?" he asked her as she slowly turned to look over at one of the bushes as it started rustling.

"You don't think it's a wild dog or something do you?" Tobey questioned nervously with a gulp but Harry just simply rolled his eyes.

"I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with you two. You have such a big imagination but you tend to get carried away with it." He said when suddenly a tiny little grey rabbit hopped out of the bushes. "There, see what I mean? It's just a baby bunny rabbit." He told them.

"That's odd," Ginny began. "I wonder where its mother is." She finished scrunching her face up with confusion.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she's around here somewhere." Harry said but that's when Eve squatted down beside it.

"Aww, poor thing." She began as she pointed to one of its back legs. "One of his legs is broken." She said as Ginny looked down at it.

"I know, but that he is a she." She told her.

"Oh come on Harry, she's hurt!" Eve began. "We can't just leave her all alone by herself! She'll die!" she cried as Harry groaned again and gave another roll of his eyes before bending over and picking her up and giving her to Eve.

"It's your job to hold onto her by the way." He told her as she smiled down at the rabbit inside her arms and nuzzled her face inside its fur as it wrinkled its nose.

"So Eve, what are you going to name her?" Hermione asked her.

"I don't know, I think I'll call her Bunny." She said as it was now Ron's turn to roll his eyes.

"Clever." He began sarcastically. "How on earth did you ever come up with that one by yourself?" he questioned her as they started walking again.

"It's better than Scabbers!" she yelled as Ginny laughed.

"Ron, I think you've got a new little sister." She told him with a grin but he just simply shook his head.

"No thank you! One's enough thank you very much!" he cried.

"Hey!" Ginny snapped as she paused to shoot a dirty and angry look at him before they continued on their way.

"How much further is it!?" Eve complained before she came to a sudden stop. "I don't think that I can walk anymore!" she cried breathing heavily. "And Bunny is probably getting hungry by now." She added looking down at her new furry friend.

"Remind me to tell Mum and Dad how much I appreciate them letting you come with us." Harry said sarcastically but Ginny decided to take a much different approach.

"Don't worry Eve, we're almost there." She told her as they started walking into the clearing and that's when Tobey caught sight of the boot.

"Is that the portkey?" he asked them.

"Yes Tobey, that's what's going to take us to the Qudditch World Cup." Harry told him.

"Ugh! I have to touch that dirty old thing!? Gross!" Eve cried.

"Fine, then we'll just leave you behind." Ron told her before he looked over at Ginny. "Thank God you were never this annoying!" he exclaimed as Eve stuck out her tongue at him.

"You know what Eve? Just stop it!" Harry snapped. "Besides, if you don't behave, you won't get any Christmas presents at all this year and you won't have any chance at all in getting a kitten." He told her.

"I don't want a kitten anymore!" she cried. "I want to keep Bunny." She told him.

"Yeah well you can't because she's a wild animal. As soon as her leg gets better she has to go back to the forest." He told her.

"You're not the boss of me!" she snapped.

"Yes I am, I'm your big brother! That means that you have to listen to me!" Harry yelled back at her but she just looked at him with disgust and narrowed her eyebrows and glared at him.

"You're not that big!" she snapped as Harry just simply rolled his eyes at her.

"Uh excuse me guys?" Ron questioned them as they both turned over to look at him. "Can we please just get this over with?" he asked as they gathered around the boot.

"Sure, she's the one who started it anyway." Harry said as he reached out and grabbed ahold of it.

"Don't be ridiculous! You did by being born first! You got the whole family started off on the wrong track!" Eve cried as she cuddled Bunny closer to her with one hand before reaching out with the other and grabbed ahold of the boot. Then everyone else started doing the same and they were transported away.
