Chapter 9. Hearing results, parties, and movies.
I don't own Harry Potter. Our Lovely Queen Jk Rowling owns the wizarding world. J
Harry and Mr. Weasley returned to Grimmauld Place with the best of news—Harry won, and he was not going to be expelled! Of course, Mrs. Weasley decided that this was a cause for a party and so a party we had. Tons of Order members came over and we had Butterbeer, tons of food, and tons of sweets in celebration.
But the real party didn't start for us until we returned upstairs to the twins' room. There were drinks, more sweets, and somehow the twins managed to get a muggle telly and had gotten a bunch of movies for us to watch.
"Ohh! This movie is incredible! We should watch it!" I said as my eyes landed on Star Wars.
"What's it about?" Ginny asked.
"It's about a far away galaxy a long time ago. You need to watch it, because I just can't explain it." I answered. "Harry, have you seen it?" I asked.
"I haven't seen it, but I was able to hear it when Dudley watched in the living room once. It sounded pretty awesome." He ran his hand through his messy hair with a look of excitement on his face.
"that's settled then. Fred, put the movie in, please!" I said.
"Um, theres a slight problem with that, 'Mione," Fred started.
"We have never used a telly or a vadieo player before." George finished.
"Oh. Well, first of all, it's a video. And second of all, I'll show you." I replied.
I got the movie all set up and sat down on a pillow between Fred and Harry. The movie started, and all the wizards (and witch) in the room were enthralled by the movie. I was expecting them to talk throughout the whole thing, asking questions on how muggles made movies, asking why the characters couldn't talk to them, or how they got into the telly. It was great to watch their excitement at something that I had taken for granted my whole life. Not even Harry, who had been raised in the Muggle world, said a word throughout the entire thing. It was almost like he neither had ever seen a telly.
When the movie ended everyone was quiet. Then all of a sudden they all started laughing and discussing the movie and wanting to watch another. And so, we watched another. Half way through, I fell asleep, and when I woke up when the movie was over, I found myself cuddled up to Freds side. He grinned down at me and I blushed redder than his hair.
"Alright, you lot," I said as I stood up, "It's probably time for bed."
"One more movie! Its not that late, and Mrs. Weasley hasn't come looking for us to tell us to go to sleep, so we can watch more," Harry said and gave me a pout.
How could I resist that? So I put in the next movie, and sat back down. Needless to say, we all fell asleep during the last movie, and none of us woke up until the next morning.
