_Letters ,Mischief & Elves

The next few weeks flew by. I spent a lot of time on school work, Aunt Hermione wants to ensure, we complete the required primary school curriculum this year (even though we should have two years left to do it) as she wants to give us a crash course in simple important spells before we go to Hogwarts.(us= me, Rox and Hugo)

Hermione decided we should all have a proper education before we entered Hogwarts( for some strange reason sometime about muggles and them being smarter then uncle Ron I cant remember the full story I only know that it meant all us Potter-Weasley children and Teddy have a proper muggle education for no important reason!!!)

Since uncle George thought that a proper education meant teaching us the best pranking methods. The rest of the parents thought it was to teach us every quidditch move in the history of quidditch, Aunt Mione took it upon herself to educate us and this is why she only works part-time in the Ministry.

But uncle George still insists that we know the best pranking methods as he wants at least one person from the family to live up to him and Fred and the rest of the parents have taught every quidditch move in the History of quidditch as they have sworn to disinherit anyone who does not make the gryffindor team .

I have been writing to both my brothers and my cousins over the past few weeks but Victoire is the one who is really keeping me up to date with the happenings at Hogwarts.

Dearest Lily,

Thank god this is my last year at Hogwarts. Your brothers and cousins (the normal ones of course) are driving me mad!!!!!

Its hard enough being head girl but when the most people you have to give detentions to are related to you its just annoying and embarrassing and if I don't give them it looks like favoritism!!! They hate me when I give them detentions but if I don't people say its just because their my family. Help me lils what can I do???!!!!

James and Fred made the quidditch team (so did Colin) Louise said they out flew all the older years and were the best by miles!! And I know that's true because I watched the try outs.(see I do take an interest even though I don't play!!).

What's worse though the three of them haven't stopped celebrating since, and yes lils they have finally corrupted sweet little Colin so now their a triple act!!!

"How fantastic!!!!"

Their celebrating has been going on nearly a week now:

Day1; when they got selected they set off fireworks on the quidditch pitch to make it know the 3 of them got on the team. Neville gave them detention for that as it was obvious it was them as the fireworks chanted their names, I have a strange feeling that Uncle George helped them make the fireworks.

Day2: they fired dungbombs off the main stairway at anyone leaving the hall,(anyone one was mainly the Slytherins so it didn't really matter that much but still!!) they weren't caught but I know it was them. I just know it!!!

Day3: they turned Mrs. Norris red and gold they weren't caught but who else would think of that but Freddie and James?!

Day4: they put a jinx in the showers in the Slytherin Dungeons, which turned everybody's hair green. I couldn't give them detention for that as it was such a great piece of magic for second years.

Day5; I caught them out of bed after hours. They were lucky it was me and not a teacher. But it looked a lot like they had been in Hogsmeade I don't know how they managed it! Will you ask Teddy if he showed them any of the passageways and warn him if he did I'll kill him!!

Do you see Lil the stress your brother and cousin are giving me and that's only the two of them there are six more of them here!!!

I've got to go hun I've an essay due for Neville, oh and before I forget Rosie and Scorpius have stopped fighting (but by the time you get this letter they probly will have started again!!!!)

Love always

Vic. Xxx

Ps. Give Ted a hug for me!!

Thank goodness the boys made the team, they would have made life hell for Louise (Louise is Oliver and Katie Bell Woods daughter and Colin is here brother)

The only bad thing about James getting a place on the team, it means he wont get disinherited which is a shame!!

What Victoire meant by our normal cousins she was excluding Molly and Lucy who never get into any trouble and abide by all the rules! The boys managed to get themselves into a whole load of mischief in only five days but then look at who their named after. I don't think I'm going to show this letter to mom I think I'll keep it as black mail for the future. I will tell mom about them turning the Slytherins hair green as it is an impressive piece of magic for second years!

Hi vics

Thanks for your last letter its great to know what's going on at Hogwarts. Nothing much going on here miones working us to an early grave as usual nothing knew there. Charlie visited last weekend brought us some new Dragon type chocolate frogs there supposedly very popular in Romania careful instead of jumping they breath fire.

Uncle Charlie forgot to mention this to Hugo and he held it up to his face and the flames burnt his nose I couldn't but laugh me and uncle Charlie were in stitches until Mione started screaming at uncle Charlie for giving them to us.

Hugo now looks like Rudolf the red nose reindeer from Mione's Christmas books!!

So be careful we can't have the prettiest girl in Hogwarts looking like Rudolf the red nose reindeer!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulate Louise on getting captain and then tell her she's metal!! For putting the boys on her team, doesn't she know how crazy they are????

I'm sorry their all give you a hard time. Teddy sends his love.

But I love you more!!

Xxx Lils xxx

Ps .jinxing might work on the boys!!!

By the end of the week Hugo's nose was back to normal and I had received a lot more owls complaining about my brothers and cousins from Vics and the jinxing had worked well until they found out it was her jinxing them and they goy her back 10 times worse and made more trouble then they usually did. I felt very guilty as the jinxing had been my idea.

On Thursday evening I had a strange owl perched on my window sill, it wasn't Vic's owl starlight and it wasn't any of the families. It must be someone I know I thought to myself taking the letter and giving the strange owl some owl treats.

Hey lils,

It's me Louise just incase you were wondering who the strange owl was from I was gona borrow Starlight but Vics is busy sending letters to Ted.

So this is Boss Colin's new owl so you'll probly be seeing it quite a bit over the summer.

Well lils I wasn't writing to talk about owls, Collin or Vic. I was writing to tell you that you're right I am completely metal putting Freddie and James on the team!!! My team is overflowing with Weasley/ Potters. Now its only me, Collin and Evan Shacklebolt who will probly be joining your family soon as him and Dom are pretty settled.

So yes lils I think I must be metal Louis ended up in the hospital wing after practice because himself an Freddie were arguing about the proper way to hit a bludger so Freddie decided to show him so he hit a bludger at him. As I said already now Louis is in the hospital wing with a broken nose not talking to James or Freddie!!!!

So basically my quidditch team is falling apart, Vicky wont help she told me to write to you and you'd fix it please lils you're my last hope our first match is in one week!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your family is completely metal and it's contagious!!

PS. Maybe you could see how Dana is for me I know she misses me and Colin so maybe you could have a girly day in Diagonal Alley??

Thanks Sweetie

Love Lou. xxx

I walked downstairs looking for Mum, the Potter house isn't small by any means so I decided to be lazy and call Bonnie.

"Bonnie"

"Crack!" Bonnie appeared

"Yes, mistress lily, you called Bonnie miss"

"Ya, hey Bonnie. Do you know where Mum is?" I asked.

"Yes miss lily, Mistress Ginny is in master Ted's room, she and Cathy are redecorating" she replies

"Thanks Bon" I say as she disappears.

If your wondering who Cathy is she's our other house-elf and no the Potters are not them snobbish people who have a hundred house-elves running around doing their biding. As I've said before Bonnie adopted my Dad after the war .

We inherited Cathy and her daughter Lacy off Aunty Andy when she died, Lacy's actually Teddy's house-elf and has been since the war and Cathy has become my mum maid in waiting not that mom wants her to be, but she doesn't want to upset her by saying she can't.

Kreacher still lives with us but he very old so he runs the house and Winky moved to the Potter house when Kreacher came but she looked after James and Al so she followed them to Hogwarts.

I know all the house-elves we have are confusing I had mum explain it to me.

Kreacher is Dads elf and has been since the war which makes him the master elf as he's dad's elf. Cathy is the eldest female elf so she became the Lady of the house maid in waiting when she came to live with us.

Lacy became teddy's elf when he was born. She was the youngest elf in the Aunty Andy's house when he was born. Winky came with Kreacher before Bonnie chose to adopt dad as her Master. Because Teddy already had Lacey, when James was born Winky became his elf and as Al was born under a year after she became his elf too.

I really don't understand how it works all I know is now Bonnie is my maid in waiting. So you see even though the Potters have five elves we never asked for any of them they just chose to stay. I guess were just lovable people!!

Ok back to me finding mum

"Mum" I called as I entered Teddy's room,

I showed her Louise's letter, she laughed and said something smililar happened to dad when he was captain but he was the one who ended up in the hospital wing something to do with a guy called Mclaggen I'm not quite sure she was laughing so much she told me I'd have to show Dad.

"so mum do you think I could have Dana over this Saturday?" I pleaded

"Sure" she said "I cant see why not your dad has a meeting in Ireland that weekend so we'll have the house to ourselves. Here's an idea why don't we make a girls night out of it! Mione, Ang, Roxy and Alicia, Eve and Katie and Dana."

"that would be brilliant Mum" I said giving her a hug.

Something about that letter and quidditch and the guy Mclaggen put her in a reminiscence mood. I want to thank the guy whoever he is because when Mum is in these moods and all her old school friends come over I get to hear stories I would never be told otherwise.

Those children storybook are just children's stories after all only their the half truth I love finding out what my parents really did at Hogwarts

Well that's chapter four I never meant for the elve thing to come into it just happened bonnie was the only original house- elf and then it escalated into five I don't get how!!!

Please leave a review and give suggestions please

Suggestions are always welcome so please review to help me decide to keep writing or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
