Chapter 2 - A Breakfast Confrontation

Majie woke with a start the next day, glancing over to see that it was nearly 10 o'clock, much later than she usually awoke, though she had gone to bed around one in the morning due to the Yule Ball festivities of the previous night. She looked around her room, and to her surprise the rest of the girls were still sleeping.

She yawned as she dressed quietly and headed towards the Great Hall to get something for breakfast. She entered the Great Hall to find Fred and George beckoning her to come and sit with them. For a moment she was thinking about telling them she felt like sitting at the Ravenclaw table with the other Ravenclaw students, when she spotted a yawning Ron approaching the Gryffindor table with a stack of buttered toast in his hands. She walked slowly towards Fred and George in the hopes that Ron would reach the table first, so she could nab the spot next to him.

It worked. Ron sat down next to Fred, so she sat down on Ron's other side.

"'Ello." She said cheerfully to all three boys. Fred looked a bit stumped as to why she didn't sit next to him, but George just smirked knowingly.

Majie looked at Ron and gave him a smile, stating loudly, "Fred, this is your brother, right? Why haven't you introduced him to me?!"

Ron blushed hard, being the youngest Weasley boy he wasn't used to getting much attention, especially from older girls.

"Well this is my brother?" Fred stated.

Majie punched Fred's shoulder from behind Ron.

"Hi, I'm Majie." She looked at Ron.

"Yeah, I'm Ron, think I saw you last night at the ball, dancing with Lee." He looked over at George, and he smiled.

"Oh you did, did you? I spotted you as well, sitting in a chair with a grumpy look on your face. You looked quite adorable in the dress robes you were wearing."

Ron's cheeks blushed an even brighter red at the mention of his dress robes, which were a horrible maroon color and fraying do to the removal of the lace trim from around the cuffs.

"That robe was horrid." Rob grumbled under his breath. "Not to be rude, but you'd have to be mental to find those robes to be 'adorable.'"

"I didn't say the robes were adorable, I said that you were." Majie blushed slightly and smiled at her comment. "What I meant was that it's too bad we never got to dance um, wait I mean.." she coughed. "No I meant that you seem very sweet?" She was turning redder with every comment that erupted from her mouth.

"Toast?" Ron gestured towards his half-empty plate of toast.

"Yes, thank you!" She shoved half of the slice into her mouth at once, successfully stopping her rambling, and smiled heartily at the three brothers, a few bits of crumbs coming out of her mouth.

"Well," said Ron, clumsily standing up and almost spilling what was left in his goblet of orange juice. "I'm off to meet Harry and Ron Hermione! I mean Harry and Hermione!" He coughed. "Nice meeting you Majie, maybe we'll catch each other again? g'bye!" He waved as he exited the hall.

"I'd 'spect he's takin a liking to you." Fred smiled at Majie.

"Oh really, and how would you know that?" She retorted playfully.

"Well, I am his wise and charming older brother after all!" George coughed. "I mean one of his two wise and charming older brothers!!" Majie snorted. "And he's never confused himself with Hermione before either?"

Majie looked down feeling her cheeks growing hot again.

"I think Majie is a bit taken with Ron as well." George said proudly.

"I I well I can't help it if you Weasleys are just so damn attractive!" She said exasperated. Fred and George exchanged glances.

"Weasleys, with an S?" George teased. "Don't tell me you fancy Percy as well!"

"Majie let out an appreciative laugh before flashing a toothy grin. "Yeah, sure." She waved her hand around pretending she didn't hear what they had said.

"You know Percy and Penelope just broke up recently, he's a free man!" Fred exclaimed.

"Well if you can get him away from his marriage to Mr. Crouch and those standard cauldron regulations" George said, laughing.

Majie looked up at them. "Nah, she spoke softly, I was thinking more along the lines of getting together with a great looking set of identical red-headed twins, know where I could find some?"

Fred sat back looking quite surprised at what she had said, but George wasted no time in exclaiming, "We're free!!!" Raising his right hand up in the air and waving it around from one side to the other until Fred kicked him.

Majie laughed and stood up saying, "Anytime boys," before leaving their table to head outside into the fresh air.
