Chapter 4: The arrival

Over the next day and a half, Charlie had learned a lot about Kit. He was sure he knew enough to fool his family and as for the pretending to be romantically interested in her, that definitely wasn't going to be a problem. After getting to know her better he had to come to the conclusion that she was the closest thing to perfect for him.

The hours until she left for the Burrow (she loved the name) passed in a blur of questions, packing, and bad jokes on David and Monica's part. She doubted she had studied that hard for anything since her final exams at school. But now she was ready. She was confident that she remembered almost everything that Charlie had told her. Kit felt kind of bad about tricking his parents, who sounded like great people, but she wasn't going to let Charlie down. Mostly she was excited about finding out if she could join the Order. She wanted to help.

At 6:00 that night, Monica and David came over to see them off. They were making lots of off handed jokes and for once Charlie was glad for the distraction as they waited for the signal. The wards around the burrow were only going to be down for a couple minutes so he was focusing extra hard on looking for it. Kit, meanwhile, was going over all the information in her head without realizing she was muttering.

"Molly the mother, Arthur the father, Bill the oldest brother, Fleur the fiancé, Percy the prat, Fred and George aka Gred and Forge, Ron the cannons fan, Ginny the girl, Ron's friends Hermione Granger the book-worm and Harry Potter. Molly the mother, Art--"

"Kit!" Said Charlie excitedly, "there it is! There's the signal! Lets go!"

They said goodbye to Monica and David hurriedly. Charlie wrapped up Kit in a hug to apparate them to the Burrow. They were on the doorstep within seconds, but Kit didn't want to back out of the hug just yet. Charlie's arms around her just felt so right, and he wasn't complaining either. Suddenly the door opened. Charlie and Kit were startled apart by the sudden noise and were greeted by a shriek from a redheaded girl.

"Charlie! You're here! Mom! They're here!" She grinned at them. " Sorry to break up the moment there guys. You must be Kit, I'm Ginny."

Kit smiled. " Its nice to meet you Ginny, Charlie told me lots about you."

Ginny beamed. "Come in and meet everybody else, Kit." She bounded on ahead.

Kit turned to Charlie, "Do you need any help with the bags?"

Charlie smiled and Kit stomach fluttered. "No, I'm fine. Go on with Ginny, she likes you already. I'll be there in a second."

"Kit are you coming?" Ginny had returned.

Kit followed Ginny into the crowded living room. Immediately, Molly Weasley pulled her into a hug.

"Oh, you must be Kit. I'm Molly" She then went around the room introducing Kit to everyone. "It's so nice to meet you, Charlie never brings girls home."

"Thanks Mum." Laughed Charlie.

Molly then wrapped Charlie in a hug. "Charlie I'm so glad your home!"

"Well I couldn't miss my big brothers wedding!" He went over and kissed the beautiful woman with the silvery-blonde hair on the cheek. "Congratulations Fleur."

While Charlie was conversing with his family, Kit took a moment to look around. The room was cozy and comfortable, but is was the people who drew her attention. They were all so comfortable with each other. Joking and teasing, laughing at the jokes the twins made about one of them only having one ear, which she gathered was a recent acquisition. Molly fussing over Charlie and herself, even though she had never met her before. Arthur tinkering with what she realized to be a pair of muggle walkie-talkies and talking to Fleur about the wedding. She smiled. They were perfect, and for the next week they were hers.

Molly turned to her. " Kit you don't mind sleeping in Ginny's room with Ginny and Hermione do you?"

"No, that's fine." Kit smiled.

"Hey, Ginny why don't you show her where she's sleeping and introduce her to the others?" suggested Charlie. He came over to Kit and leaned close to whisper in her ear, "I'll talk to them about the Order, ok?"

She barely managed to nod in response.

When he backed away, she saw that all the Weasleys present were grinning in their direction.

"My rooms upstairs." Said Ginny, breaking Kit out of her thoughts.

Kit grabbed her bag and followed.

Ginny's room was pretty but with the three beds in it, a little crowded. She set down her things and paused to look out the window. She laughed when she saw a large ginger cat trying to chase several gnomes at once. Ginny came over to see what she was laughing at and grinned.

" That's Hermione's cat, Crookshanks. Do you wanna go meet her?"

" Hermione? Sure."

Ginny led Kit up another flight of stairs to a door with peeling paint that said Ronald's Room. She knocked briefly before opening the door to reveal a lot of orange. Charlie wasn't kidding when he said that Ron was a die-hard cannons fan.

" Hey guys! Guess who this is?" said Ginny "This is Charlie's girlfriend, Kit." Kit was pulled into the room. "This is Ron, Hermione, and Harry."

Kit greeted them all warmly, and Harry looked surprised that she wasn't fawning over him. She had remembered what Charlie said about Harry not liking attention. He smiled and waved, Hermione said hello, and Ron grinned and told her that he was glad she had finally come because his mother had been unbearable all week. Kit laughed. She was going to like it here. Just then Molly called them for supper.

Meanwhile, downstairs Charlie had been pelted with questions the moment Kit had safely been out of the room.

"Where did you meet her?"

"Is eet seerious?"

"She seems nice, does she work at the reserve?"

"Where is she from? She has a weird accent."

"Do you love her?"

"Oh, good one Bill. Answer that one first!"

Charlie held up his hands to stem the flow.

"I met Kit on the reserve where she works as a dragon healer. She's originally from a small town in Eastern Canada, and it serious enough for me to bring her to the wedding. There, does that answer all your questions?"

"No," piped up Fred, "you didn't answer Bill's."

Charlie went red. It was Fleur who saved him.

"Leeve 'im bee. Hee must bee tired afteer all thee exciitemant." Charlie gave her a grateful smile.

"Dad, I have something I want to talk to you about. Kit wants to join the Order."

The room was silent. Arthur took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"Does she understand what we do?" He asked wearily.

"Of course she understands. She's a muggle born, she wants to help."

"Is she sure? Are you sure?"

"She is sure. We talked about it. Why would it matter if I were sure or not? It's her decision and Kit can be very persuasive."

Bill and the twins smirked.

"Mind out of the gutter you three!" Charlie rolled his eyes, " Honestly."

"Well if she really wants to, I'll floo and ask Minerva and Mad-Eye to come over after supper."

"Why Minerva and Mad-Eye?" Charlie was curious.

"When Dumbledore died, he put them in charge. She is the Order's strategist and Mad-Eye is, well, Mad-Eye, so it was an obvious decision. They both have to be there to administer the veritaserum and pass judgment on the candidate."

"Ok, that'd be great. Thanks Dad."

"Supper you lot!" called Molly.
