Marionie paced back and forth in the entrance hall of her home waiting for
the guest to arrive. They were to be there soon and she couldn't wait.
She looked down at her bruised hand where she had hit Draco and refused for
magic to be used to heal it. It hurt but Mulic had told her it would heal
in a matter of days.
Mika and Hermione were at the Burrow with the Weasleys, just about ready to go. Harry said he'd meet them at the Hearts' place so one by one, they headed for their destination by floo powder.
"Marionie dear, if you keep pacing you'll wear down your shoes." Celia walked out putting and hand on Marionie's shoulder.
"Oh posh mum. I don't care about my shoes, I just want my friends to get here." Marionie stopped pacing and looked up her mother. "Why didn't you tell me I was related to Harry Potter?"
Before long, Mrs. Weasley led everyone out of the fireplace and into the Hearts' place. Mika's eyes were wide with amazement.
Marionie looked around the corner into the parlor smiling as a large group walked towards her. "Hullo everyone!"
"Marionieeeeeee!" Mika exclaimed, "I hope I didn't get you in too much trouble!" She wrapped Marionie her arms.
Marionie smiled, "No, mum said I was giving myself my own punishment." She lifted her palms showing Mika the bruises that seemed much lighter to her for some reason.
"Oooooh no!" Mika said.
Hermione stated, "Malfoy...you shouldn't bother."
Shrugging Marionie's eyes grew wide as she saw a large group of red haired people. "How many Wealseys are there? Mum told me four. Three boys and a girl. I see six!"
Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy went to chat with Mrs. Hearts.
Ron explained, "Bill and Percy are my oldest brothers, they just came home for a quick visit."
"Oh." Marionie said glaring at the Malfoys. "I think I got yelled at more by them. They are horrible people, and that daughter of theirs destroyed my room!"
Mika looked horrified. "There's more than one Malfoy???" she asked, totally shocked.
Marionie faced Mika again, "Yes, and she's just as bad as her brother. Draco is in my third room looking at some pictures and I think she is with him."
"Oy, so your the one Ron has been talking about non-stop eh?" A boy with red hair grabbed Ron around the neck and smiled.
"Rather cute if I do say so myself." The boy standing next to the one clutching his brother stated. They looked identical. Marionie blushed turning deep red.
Mika punched the twins and said, "Please, learn when to keep your mouths shut! You're embarassing Marionie!" She turned to Marionie and asked, "Can Hermione and I see your room?"
Hermione nodded eagerly and added, "We would love to see it!"
Marionie jumped with joy. No one had ever asked to see her room before. "Sure! All of you can come! Even you two." Marionie smiled facing the twins. She had an odd feeling they were going to be fun to get to know. Marionie raced for the stairs. "Follow me!"
Hermione, Mika and the Weasleys followed Marionie to her room. A noise coming from one of the numerous door startled Mika. She stopped and said, "Did you hear something?"
A tiny girl's voice said, "I hate youuuuuuuuu!" A few seconds later, a short blonde child of about 6 or 7 years old ran out of a room crying. Draco's voice yelled, "I HATE YOU MORE!!! I WISH I NEVER HAD A SISTER!"
"Only two other people have seen my room... well four if you count the two Malfoys!" Marionie said as she reached for the handle of her door opening it up to show the group a large room painted pale blue filled with trophies and photos and such. "I don't like it like this. I'd rather it be more simple." She watching Joey run grabbing her. "Hey there cousin, what's wrong?" Marionie leaned down to the little girls height and looked up giving the group an I-have-a-soft-spot-for-kids look.
"I hate Draco..." Joey muttered, "Lemme go, Mari..."
Mika and Hermione glared at the twins and started a pillow fight.
"What did he do Joey?" Marionie looked up catching Draco bring his head back into the room he was in. "Do I need to turn his other eye black?"
"He tried to use me to practice Charms," Joey replied bitterly.
"Noooooooooooo, get off me!" Mika screamed at the three Weasley boys.
Marionie snorted. "Which one did he try. He's probably parp at charms anyway." Marionie said as a tone of her temper showed. She looked into her room and let out a laugh as one of her pillows burst open.
"You guuuuuuuyss!" A little red head girl said as she tried to pick up the scattered feathers. She dove at the boys laughing.
"Do you want to go join them Joey?" Marionie asked her cousin kindly.
Joey shook her head. "I need to go talk to mommy," she explained as she walked away.
Ron dove for Mika and nailed her with the pillow in his hand, muffling Mika's laughs.
Hermione exclaimed, "C'mon, Ginny, let's do it!"
Ginny and Hermione hit the twins.
"This is war," the twins said in unison.
Marionie watched as Joey left then looked in her room laughing grabbing a pillow of her own and jumping into the mass of feathers hitting Ron laughing. This was the most fun she'd had in a while.
"What are you doing?" Asked a kind voice from the hall.
"Oh, hullo Mulic. Are we disturbing the adults? We're just having a bit 'o fun!" Marionie said smiling as she was hit by a pillow herself.
Mika fell over and landed on George. Everyone stopped abruptly when they realized a grownup was present. They all looked at Marionie.
Mulic laughed. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself."
Marionie smiled and looked back at the group. "Oh, how rude of me. This is Mulic, our butler and one of my greatest friends!"
Hermione was the first to speak. "Would he happen to know if Harry's arrived?" she asked Marionie.
"Mulic, has Harry arrived at all? I don't want him to get lost in this place..." Marionie asked picking a feather out of her hair.
"I'll check miss." Mulic said bowing and he turned to walk away.
"Don't do that, I hate it when you do that!" Marionie yelled laughing. Mulic's only response of a stifled laugh. "Mulic went to see."
Mika and the Weasley twins sat on Marionie's bed feeling a bit ashamed that they had been caught by a grown-up.
Marionie smiled at the three on her bed. "Not to worry, Mulic's great!" Marionie took out her wand and muttered a charm that returned her room to the way it had been before the pillow fight.
"Wow! I've never seen that good of a charm done by anyone but my mum!" The little redheaded girl stated sitting down in one of the chairs.
Ron spoke up and began to introduce his siblings. "The twins are Fred and George, they're in fifth year. This is Ginny. She's a year below us."
Mika just sat on Marionie's bed, chilling out. She a few things on her mind, being around the Weasleys and the Hearts and the Malfoys.
Marionie smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you Fred, George, and Ginny." She curtsied politely and laughed. "Mika, do you like Quidditch?" Marionie walked over to her dresser and stopped to wait for Mika's answer.
Mika's face lit up at the mention of her favorite Q word. "Do I??? The only person crazier about the Cannons than I am is Ron! I love Quidditch! I've been to Quidditch since the summer before my first year! I love it!"
Fred told Mika, "It's a pity the team doesn't need a chaser 'til we Angie and Leesh graduate." He was referring to Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnett.
Mika said, "You'll see, I'll make it on the team one day!"
With a smug look, George said, "We'll just have to see in a couple of years..."
"Me too!" Marionie opened the dresser and pulled out a two collections of Quidditch collector's cards and handed one to Mika and one to Ron. "You guys can have those if you want." Then she walked over to her bookcase and pulled out a large book handing it to Hermione and a pretty notebook and calligraphy pens handing them to Ginny. "Well, I was until I moved." Marionie said sighing as she sat down in another chair looking at the reactions from her gifts.
Hermione smiled and said, "This is neat! I haven't read it yet!"
Ginny watched the pens that seemed to glow and said, "Thank you!"
Ron and Mika looked at each other and said, "NEAT!!!"
Marionie smiled. "I talked to Mrs. Weasley about what you like and she told me those. She said she wasn't sure what you too were really into. She said you liked to play jokes." Marionie motioned to the twins. Then nudged Mika. "Look at their hands." She laughing as the twins raised their hands seeing that they were slowly turning blue.
"How'd you do that?" George said.
"You've got to teach me that charm!" Fred chimed in laughing.
Mika laughed lightly, happy about the cards and grateful for having her friends around, but she was still preoccupied.
Hermione looked anxious now. "Where's Harry?" she asked, "I hope he hasn't gotten into any trouble!"
Marionie looked at Hermione. "We could go downstairs and use my mum's port... if he isn't here it'll take us to him... We don't have any of the floo stuff..."
Ron said, "Herm, you're always worrying!"
"You nag more than our mother!" George commented.
Fred added, "Harry's a big boy! He can handle himself."
Ginny's eyes grew wide. "You fancy him too!" she said softly.
Marionie looked around the room. "Mika are you alright?" She asked quietly as the rest of the group got into a 'discussion' about worrying and Harry.
Hermione blushed. "No, I just worry."
Mika looked up at Marionie and smiled. "Sure, I just feel like being quiet sometimes. You can't be loud all the time, even if it seems like you are."
Mari laughed. "I know what you mean." Marionie squeezed Mika's shoulders and hopped back up. At that moment Draco Malfoy interrupted.
Right away, Mika went into her battle-ready mode. She always figured a fight was on the horizon whenever Malfoy appeared. "Doesn't he knock?" she mumbled under her breath, just loudly enough for Marionie to hear.
Marionie looked up scowling at the figure in front of her. "What do you want Draco?"
Ron stood protectively in front of Hermione and Ginny. The twins stood up, towering menacingly over Draco. Mika was the only one who was left in the background.
Draco smirked, "I'm a guest here too. I was just popping in to see if Marionie was ready to apologize for my eye.
"You deserved it Draco." Marionie snapped looking back at her friends.
"As far as we're concerned, you're not one of us," Fred started.
George followed his twin's train of thought and added, "We suggest you remove yourself from this room, otherwise you'll be one giant walking bruise,"
Hermione and Ginny joined Mika on Marionie's bed, hoping the guys would be able to scare them away. They were also hoping Harry would come in and beat the crap of the dirty Slytherin.
Draco gulped then regained his composure. "Fine then. Marionie, you just wait!" Draco looked around the room once more. "I'll just have to go visit with my sister. Where'd she go?"
"Leave her alone Draco. I swear, she's better then you." Marionie stood forward "If you practice on her, I'll practice on you." Marionie drew her wand warningly and pointed it at Draco right as Harry walked in and stood behind Draco coughing.
"Is there a problem here?" Harry's voice came across as rather irritated.
Hermione jumped up as Harry's voice reached her ears. She pushed the Weasley boys out of her way and stood in front of them. She wanted to see what Harry was going to do with Draco. Ginny soon followed and Mika was left alone.
"I'm hurt," Draco said sarcastically. "Well, I see there's a whole welcoming commitee here for me," Draco added after a pause, "Hmmmm, someone seems to be missing. Where's the other Mudblood?"
Fuming, Mika stood up and raised a fist at Draco.
"Don't call me that!" she hissed, "Unless you want a matching black eye!"
Draco taunted, "What are you going to do, Avalon? You don't have the guts to punch me!"
"Wanna bet?" Mika said challengingly.
Marionie looked from Draco to Mika seeing sparks of hate fly between them warningly. She looked at Harry who was standing clenched fist staring at Draco.
"Malfoy, don't call them that." Harry stated as Draco turned towards him.
Draco smirked, "And what are you going to do about it? Whine?"
"DRACO GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" Marionie shouted not wanting to be anywhere near him that day.
Not typically a violent person, Mika's temper got ahold of her. She lunged forward and jumped on Draco, causing him to fall over.
Harry tried to pull Mika off Draco without any success.
"Mika, don't!" Hermione called out.
Marionie reached over grabbing Mika's shoulders. "Mika no. He isn't worth it!" She cried as she tried to tug her friend off of Draco.
Before pushing Mika off him, Draco whispered in her ear, "Enjoy this. It's the first and only time you'll end up on top of me."
Draco pushed Mika to his left, causing the girl to fall on her back with a thud.
Mika was red with fury and she ran to the nearest washroom, embarrassed and upset.
"Draco you're an ass!" Marionie shouted as she dragged him up off the ground. Pulling her fist back again she threw another punch at him. "Don't ever call one of my friends that ever again!
Draco held his face as Marionie let go. "You're lucky I don't hit family." Draco growled before walking from the vicinity
Meanwhile, Mika ducked into one of the numerous rooms in the hall. It looked like a mini-library and she found a whole bookcase full photo albums.
Everyone crowded around Marionie as her had turned dark blue again. "Are you alright Marionie?" Hermione asked turning pale. Several other people echoed the question.
"I'm fine, perfectly fine." Marionie said looking at her hand. "Mika isn't back yet?" Marionie said turning pale herself. "I hope she isn't lost!
"We should go after her, Marionie," Hermione suggested, then explained, "Mika's not exactly the type of person that should be left alone when she's upset."
Ron agreed. "Yeah, her favorite charm is Delitrius...god knows what'll happen." Ginny just nodded.
Marionie blinked nodding her head. "I hope she didn't wander off to far. This mansion has a lot of weird twists to it."
"What do you mean... weird twists?" Fred asked concerned as George just stared wide eyes.
Marionie blinked, "Let's just hope we don't have to deal with them!"
Hermione grew worried. "We better find her then!"
Harry nodded.
The group decided they would split up to look for their friend.
"Just make sure you stick with someone!" Marionie told them.
Ginny and Hermione took off in one direction, while the twins took off in another, leaving Ron, Harry and Marionie to go down the main hall.
Mika and Hermione were at the Burrow with the Weasleys, just about ready to go. Harry said he'd meet them at the Hearts' place so one by one, they headed for their destination by floo powder.
