In the mind of Ronald Weasley:
On the morning of September the 1st Mrs. Weasley awoke to a dull sunrise, more like a rise of the clouds, for the sun was hidden and when the sun rose, it illuminated the sky above and all you can see were dark dull gray clouds.
She began to prepare breakfast and sandwiches for the children's' trip to Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express. Today it seemed to be a very long morning. While the sandwiches were making themselves, Mrs. Weasley ran up stairs to wake all her children, first was Ginny, followed by Fred and George (which already awake waiting for their mother to leave to have some fun with their elder brother currently living in the house, Percy), Next Mrs. Weasley woke Percy, and lastly Ron.
Ron awoke and he thought this morning was glorious, until he looked outside his window, his room was bright orange (in accordance with his quidditch team) and his room had the tendency of confusing whoever was inside about the sky above. The ghoul was awake (the constant banging gave him away). Ron was ready for his first year at Hogwarts. All the children went down stairs, some dragging their feet others running from Percy, some just complaining.
"Mom, I want to go to Hogwarts, if I don't go who am I going to play with?" asked Ginny with her baby of the house voice, which usually didn't get her anywhere but it was a try.
The Weasley children all sat down in their place for breakfast while the plates came whizzing by their heads. Percy had needed to leave to get ready for school.
"We have already talked about this and besides you can play with me I will be free and occasionally your father would be there." Mrs. Weasley seemed to be comforting herself more than Ginny, she knew her husband as working late these days, the kids that had been accepted to Hogwarts from muggle families seemed to be showing off to their friends.
"Don't worry Ginny, the ghoul doesn't have anyone to play with all you got to do is beat on the wall a couple times and he well bang every where then you can go to." Mrs. Weasley gave Fred a hard look and no one found out about where Ginny was supposed to go.
"He was only joking mom right Fred?"
"Of course George, I wouldn't dream of telling her anything to see or even her that drooling ghoul." Fred trying to back George's excuse it wasn't working but lucky for them the clock in the kitchen showed Mr. Weasley had just arrived from work, and it seemed that he was just a little hungry by the way he presented his first sentence.
"Is that food I smell, I'm hungry? Horrible day at work"
"What happened?" Fred in a low whisper, he didn't want his mother to stop the conversation.
"Anything you know exciting?" George asked inquisitively, eager for something to do.
"I don't think your father is ready to tell you anything. He has had a long day at work." Percy said with his usual voice of authority.
"I don't recall you in the conversation" said Fred; while George seemed to have his ears droop down like a puppy that had just been denied his one true ambition, chasing a ball. Mrs. Weasley noticing a big argument asked Percy
"Did you finish checking if you packed everything?"
"It seems my prefect badges have been taken form my luggage" said Percy while starring at Fred and George.
"Boys go and check if you find in your luggage Percy's prefect badge and make sure all of you have all the supplies you need. I will call you down when breakfast is ready. Ginny you go help Percy I need to talk to your father in how we will get to the train station." Mrs. Weasley asked, well not asking but more like a demand.
The boys went trotting away with Ginny at their heels. Ron was awake now and awfully nervous about his first day at Hogwarts, but he can't tell anyone especially Fred and George. The kind of teasing and stories they will tell him, he would rather find out for himself. The teasing wasn't going to help either.
