Chapter 5: Of Flying Lessons and Season Passes

"Willow, are you sure you want to do this?" Hermione looked over at her newfound friend with a nervous gaze. Willow smiled and patted Hermione's shoulders.

"Hermione! Stop worrying about me! I'm completely sure of myself, okay?" Hermione nodded and nervously glanced over at the broom that Ron carried as he and Harry walked over to them.

"Ready Wills?" Ron asked excitedly. Willow smiled brightly, but flinched on the inside. 'Wills, Xander called me that.' Harry grabbed Willow's hand bringing her out of her thoughts. She smiled at him and let herself be lead over to the center of the "field". The field in actuality was about the size of two football fields. It was behind the Weasleys' house.

Over the past two days, Willow had learned a lot about the trio. She had learned about the incident with the Chamber of Secrets back in their second year. Then, she had learned of Harry's uncle Sirius Black, and the Yule Ball. When they had talked about the Yule Ball, Ron had grown uncomfortable and Hermione had glanced over at Ron before becoming gloomy for the whole day. Willow knew something was there; she just had to figure it out.

"Mione' you going to give it a go?" Ron asked looking over at his best friend.

Hermione's face paled and she shook her head quickly. "No. Are you crazy?" Ron laughed and gave a quick hug to Hermione. They had quickly gotten over their little spat a day ago. Of coarse, they still fought everyday over little things. Willow certainly didn't know how Harry put up with it.

"Alright, come on Will." Harry got on his broom and motioned to Willow. She walked over to him and slowly got on the broom in front of Harry.

Ron jumped onto his broom and pushed off of the ground. Hermione laughed as Ron did spins in the air. Willow smiled at the girl. 'She has it bad.'

"Alright Willow. First, you push up off of the ground with both of your feet." Willow nodded and followed his instructions.

Before she knew it, it was nighttime and she was still racing on the broom. It was so fun. She had never felt anything like it. Willow loved the feel of the wind blowing through her hair. She could hear Harry laughing in her ear as she did flips around Ron. Ron, of coarse, was laughing right along with them.

"Willow! Look." Harry pointed down to the Burrow. They saw Hermione sitting reading a book, as usual. Willow gave a mischievous smile and Harry smiled back.

"Do it." Willow turned the broom suddenly flew over to Ron. She motioned for him to stop. They talked for a few seconds before parting.

Hermione hadn't noticed the laughs stop. However, she did hear the noise of a flying broom as it whipped through the air. It kept on getting louder and louder. Hermione looked up and all color drained from her face. She screamed in horror as she stared into the eyes of Ron Weasley. He swooped down and grabbed her by the waist before they zoomed back off. Hermione screamed as she was plopped right in front of Ron.

"Hermione, stop screaming!" Ron laughed as she yelled this. Hermione's voice had tired and she obeyed. She felt Ron tighten his arms around her waist and she let out an involuntary smile.

"You know I'm going to kill you when this is over, right?" Ron laughed and nodded. She snuggled back into his chest and spotted Willow and Harry coming right for them.

"Ahh! Ron!" Before she knew it, Ron had dipped down and they were headed straight for the ground. Right before they could hit the ground, Ron pulled up and they were in the air again. Hermione shrieked and hit Ron on the arm.

"Ow, Mione'!"

"Don't do that!" She screamed. He laughed again and flew over to the house just as Molly Weasley stepped out of the house. She motioned to them to come in. Ron and Hermione landed swiftly. Ron helped Hermione off of the broom. She turned around and looked at him in a flush.

"Ron…that was…" Ron laughed at her nodded.

"Yeah Mione'. Just don't kill me until we get into the house. It was Harry and Will's idea too, you know?" Hermione laughed and nodded. She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the house.

Five minutes later, Willow and Harry walked in laughing. They turned to Hermione and then they started laughing even harder. Hermione glared at them and folded her arms across her chest.

"Oh come on, Mione'. You have to admit. It was pretty funny." Harry said smiling at her. As Willow and Harry laughed, Hermione gave up and joined them.

"Come on! Dinner is ready!" Ron cried from the kitchen.

"Is that all he thinks about?" Hermione cried as she stood up. Willow and Harry sniggered.

"Well, it's not the only thing he thinks about Herm." Willow stated before laughed and walking into the kitchen. Hermione blushed and followed them.


They all entered the kitchen and Willow stopped short as she saw a new stranger. He had the familiar red hair and blue eyes. However, he looks to be maybe late 20's, early 30's. He had long hair and a gruff look about his face. Willow noticed the different reactions between the trio. Hermione and Harry all smiled and rushed to hug him. They all called him Bill. Ron, however, just scowled and sat in his chair. The new addition stood up. He towered about a foot over Willow. He smiled brightly at her and Willow felt the old, familiar blush creep into her cheeks. 'Control yourself, Will.'

"Hello, you must be Willow. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Bill Weasley One-sixth of the Weasley brothers." He took her hand and lightly shook it.

Willow smiled. "It's nice to meet you too. Although, I don't recall Ron telling me about you." Bill flinched and glanced over at Ron who was glaring at the table top.

"Yes, I'm sure he left my name out."

Willow raised her eyebrows at this and looked between the two brothers. Molly Weasley came over and quickly ushered them to sit down.

"So, Bill, what exactly do you do?" Willow questioned. Bill smiled and turned to stare into her green eyes. She blushed again and mentally smacked herself. 'Willow, stop it! He's your cousin. He's a really cute cousin, but still, he is your cousin!'

"Well, I'm currently working for Gringotts Bank. I help to protect the vaults by creating different charms and such." Willow nodded fascinated.

They talked for what seemed like three hours. The whole family just sat around the table laughing and having fun. Ron, the only one who had not talked throughout dinner, finally stood up and left the kitchen silently. Willow stood up and excused herself.

She walked outside to find Ron sitting by a tree outside. She walked over to him and sat down.

"So…what exactly is up with you and Bill?" At her question Ron shrugged and sighed.

"Well?" Ron looked over at her and she gave him a smile.

"Bill is such a prat. That's my problem with him. He's a prat. He's been ignoring the family for the past few months and he expects that he can come back and everything will be all hunky dorey. Well, it's not! He even missed my birthday! How is that for a brother."

"I was working for Gringotts you prat!" Ron and Willow looked up to see Bill standing there.

"You were not!" Ron yelled.

"Yes, I was. I was ordered to go to Asia to help solve a case at one of the local banks there. A pack of death eaters had been there. I have steal back the artifact. You happy? I could lose my job for telling you, you bloody pillock!" Ron's mouth made an 'o' shape and Willow covered up her giggles. Ron elbowed her and he soon was laughing. Bill smiled and held out a small package.

"Here's your bloody present." Ron smiled and grabbed the present. He opened it up and his eyes widened.

"Bloody hell Bill! This is great!"

"What is it?" Willow eagerly asked. Ron shoved them into his face. She read the top of the several pieces of paper.

"Season tickets to the games of the Chudley Cannons?" Ron, by now, had jumped up and tackled his brother with a hug.

"Wait till Harry sees this!" Ron grabbed the present and ran into the house. Willow laughed as she stood up.

"I think you won back your brother's love."

"I have, eh?" He laughed and they walked back into the house.
