Chapter Seven The Family for The Ad Someone was shaking him. "Ugh"he muttered trying to sleep more. The shaking got harder. "All right all right. I'm getting up."Jarrik said. He remembered the dream. He sat bolt upright, almost hitting the bartender in the face. "Where's Rebecka?"he asked Tom. "I'm sorry sir, who?"Tom said, giving Jarrik his freshly washed clothes. "No one nothing."he apologized."Forget about it."he said. "I must go wake up Hagrid."said Tom leaving the room. Jarrik got up and put on his clothes. He put his pajamas in his suitcase, and left the room, after feeding Fawx. He ran into Hagrid in the hallway. "Sorry Hagrid."Jarrik said apologetically. "That's ok."he replied."I'm going to get you some breakfast at a muggle place called McDondals or McDoodles or something like that."he told Jarrik. "You mean McDonalds?"Jarrik asked. "That's it. Dumbledore sent me muggle money, so you have to buy the food according to how much money we have. If you can call that paper money."he added scornfully."I'm getting food here because they make big things when I'm here."he said to Jarrik. "Ok let's go."Jarrik said to Hagrid. They walked out of the door into the muggle world. Jarrik made sure that it was safe then crossed the street. He saw the McDonalds right about two stores away. He walked with Hagrid there and walked inside. He walked up to the counter. "Hello. I'd like um... 7 Egg McMuffins with 6 Hashbrowns, please."he said to the man standing at the register. "Hungry are we?"he said as he rung up the order."That will be 10 pounds please."he told Jarrik. He handed the man the money. "You'll have to wait about 5 minutes."he told Jarrik as he went to take the drive-through-window people's orders. In five minutes Jarrik's number was called. He got the order and Hagrid and him walked back to the Leaky Cauldron. When they got there, some wizards and witches were asking Jarrik what did he have to get muggle food for. He told them that it was actually pretty good if you give it a chance. Some muttered that he was crazy or a lunatic and some asked if he could exchange their money for muggle money so that they could try it. He said yes to one and gave him a slip describing each bill. He told the wizard to give him all the change. He agreed and left. A few minutes he came back, with a grin on his face. "I got all Hashbrowns. They're delicious!"he exclaimed as he gave Jarrik his change. He went to Tom and changed the muggle money for wizard money. He was surprised that Tom knew what the bills were. Tom told him that he has to know what they are because what if a muggle walks in with their magical child and wants a drink? He said he understood and went back to Hagrid to finish eating. Hagrid had eaten his candy and was looking green. "I'll be right back."he mumbled walking towards the bathroom. He came back with an I-don't-feel-good look on his face. "I'm going to lie down. If a family comes as a reply for the ad, get Tom to wake me up, all right?"he asked. "Ok."Jarrik replied. "Tom will see to it that you stay in either your room, Diagon Alley, or here."Hagrid said sharply. Jarrik nodded in response. Hagrid stumbled towards the stairs. Jarrik walked up to Tom. "Would a gameboy work here? It's a muggle game thing."Jarrik asked Tom. "I think it should. I think I see some muggles in here with their magical children. Oh the Weasleys just came in."Tom said suddenly. "Who?"Jarrik began to ask but was interrupted by one of the Weasleys. "Hello Tom."said a male voice. He was aged and balding but still had red hair. The man noticed Jarrik. "Hello. My name is Arthur Weasley. What's your name?"he asked. "Um, Jarrik sir, Jarrik Spellman."he mumbled uncomfortably. He felt the man Arthur introduced himself too soon. "Really?"said a woman, that had to be Arthur's wife."I'm Molly Weasley. All of us are red-heads."she said reffering to her entire family."We've come for an ad. The child must have been you."she told Jarrik. "Oh Tom, Hagrid said to wake him up if he's asleep."Jarrik said, remembering suddenly. Tom nodded and went to get Hagrid. Jarrik noticed the only girl and she blushed and ducked behind her mother. Jarrik saw two identical twins. He smiled at them. "Hello. I'm Fred and this is George."said a twin. "No, no, no, dear chap. I'm Fred and that is George."said the other twin. "Stop Fred, George."said Molly sharply. "You're not being fair to someone that could be your brother soon." "Sorry mum. I am Fred and that is George."said the first twin, who was Fred. Jarrik was still confused. He shook it off. "I'm Ron."said a boy, who was clearly the youngest of the boys. He was very tall, with long arms. He had sort of a long nose. He seemed friendly enough. Ron extended his hand. Jarrik accepted it. "Molly, if you do adopt me, may I keep my name, Jarrik Spellman?"he asked nervously. "Of course dear. Plus we don't mind if you want to visit your parents."she said gently. "Oh, my parents don't like me anymore. I don't need them anymore."he said miserably. "I'm sorry I brought it up."Molly said, sorry for what she did. Tom and Hagrid came down the stairs, Hagrid looking a lot better. "Hello Arthur, Molly."Hagrid said."Jarrik, do you like them?"he asked Jarrik. "Yes of course!"Jarrik said. "Then, it's settled. We have to go to the Daily Prophet to cancel the ad."Hagrid said leading the way. Well, at least I'll get to see Rebecka again, Jarrik thought happily. He was getting a new life, he was in a new world and a family that was nice. "Hagrid, we'll be getting our children's school supplies as well. Could you spare some money?"Arthur asked nervously. "I have some. It's not a lot but at least it's something."Jarrik interrupted, holding out his little amount. Arthur looked uncertain. "That's yours, but em..."Arthur tried to say. "Dad, if you don't want it, we'll take it."George said.(The twins made nametags so Jarrik could tell them apart) "No. Thank you Jarrik. When we get more money, I'll pay you back."he said thanking him. "There's no need. I'm part of the family now right?"Jarrik pointed out. "That is true but I am a man of my word, am I not Ginny?"Arthur asked his only daughter. Ginny squeaked. "Uh... I... yes father."she stuttered. "What's wrong sis?"Fred asked. Ginny threw Fred an annoyed look, which turned to fright again for some reason. They walked into Daily Prophet building. Jarrik saw Rebecka. She looked a mess! She noticed Jarrik and smiled. "Hi Rebecka."Jarrik said softly."Do you need a brush?"he teased. "I suppose."she said, pulling out her wand. She made a brush out of thin air and started to brush her hair. "I'm off for a half an hour right now." "Really? Would you like some candy?"Jarrik asked. "NO! I mean, no thank you. I get cavities easily."she said suddenly uncomfortable. "Well... I'm getting adopted."Jarrik said changing the subject uneasily. "Wow. That was quick."she said. Molly waved at the two of them."The Weasleys, eh? You couldn't find a nicer family. I wish I lived with them."she said in a far away tone. "Rebecka, do you have a nickname?"Jarrik asked. He had one in mind but he sort of thought it might be too soon for it. "No not that I like really. People call me Reba and Becka and Becky, but I don't like them that much."she said."Why?" "I was wondering if I could give you one. Just for me to call you though."he added. "Sure what is it?"she asked, as if she knew it already. "Um, sweetheart?"he said hopefully. She looked as if it was perfect."I really like that. Do you... I mean to say will you go out with me?"she asked, ending embarrassed. "Yeah, you really are a sweetheart you know that?"he told her."I have something to tell you. I had a dream last night and you were in it and Harry and Quirrill and this cold voice. It was really creepy because Harry fell to the ground twitching like you did in the dream, clutching his scar. Did you have the same dream?"he ended. "Um... well... look at the time, got to get back to work. See you at Hogwarts!"she said hurrying away. I thought she had a half-an-hour off, Jarrik thought bitterly. She's my girlfriend and she's already hiding something from me, this isn't good. Maybe we're not meant for each other, maybe Harry's more the type for her, he thought more bitter thoughts. "Well dear, time to go!"Molly said to Jarrik."You're now our son. Now, we have to get our school supplies, you can stay with Hagrid in the Leaky Cauldron Pub or come with us."she ended. "I'll go with you. Will I be able to get my stuff when we go back?"he asked. "Yes dear. By Hagrid thank you for your hospitality."Molly said. "Yeah Hagrid thanks, for everything."Jarrik said missing Hagrid already. "Your welcome. Nothin I haven't done before."Hagrid told them. "Well bye."Jarrik said. The Weasleys and Jarrik walked towards Gringotts as Hagrid walked towards the pub, having a tear run down his face for the first time in decades.
