Chapter 15 - A Weasley Surprise

The week's worth of detentions seemed well worth the outcome. The Slytherines now seemed to be quite offstandish towards the Gryffindors, although they loathed them more than anything, they stayed far away fearing that anyone of them might suffer Draco's fate if they so much as muttered a threatening word to a Gryffindor. Unfortunatly time was counting down for Harry's final task in the constantly glooming Tri-Wizard Tournament. Harry had found out about the maze he was to be tackling for the final task, and had recruited Hermione and Ron to aid him, though Majie was never far off with details and hints for help with spells. It was helpful to have a 7th year prefect on his side because she knew so much about what to expect.

There were many rumors flying around the school about the strength of the dark Lord Voldemort growing, and the events of the Quidditch World Cup over the summer were still fresh in everyone's minds. On the day of the last task an article had been written about Harry titled "Harry Potter: Disturbed and Dangerous" by the well known Rita Skeeter that challenged Harry's suitability to compete in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. The article angered many of Harry's friend, fans, and supporters, while worrying some of the adults in positions of power as to whether Harry was fit to compete in the last task.

The morning of the day of the final task Harry, Ron, and Majie were in the middle of eating their breakfast when Professor McGonagall interrupted them, startling Harry and causing him to spill his food all down his front. Majie noted how adorable Harry was when he was nervous about something. She felt a little bit bad for him. McGonagall had told Harry to follow her to where he would get to meet his competitor's families. Harry waved goodbye to his friends and followed her, looking quite nervous. He must have assumed that there would be no family waiting for him, or worse, that the dreadful Dursley family would be angrily awaiting his arrival.

"Poor Harry." Majie said.

"Yeah, I don't think he has anyone to visit him from his family." Ron replied.

Majie sighed, looking down at her watch. "Ron, don't you have History of Magic in a few minutes?"

"Oh NO! And I've got an exam in there today too! I'd better go, goodbye Majie!" He said, kissing her quickly before scurrying off, leaving Majie alone.


Later on that day, as Majie was on her way to get some lunch after her morning class, she saw Harry and Ron running towards her. Behind them, walking at a more normal pace, were an adult woman, and a man that Majie recognized almost immediately, both having the trademark Weasley red hair.

"Majie! Majie!" Harry shouted! "Look who showed up for my tournament tonight!" He turned to point to the approaching redheads.


Majie immediately smiled, the older woman, while she hadn't met her before, was definitely Ron's mother, and she knew the handsome, long haired man walking beside her, it was Bill Weasley.

"That's my mum." Ron said. "And my brother, Bill."

Majie grinned wildly as Bill approached. It had been many years since they had last seen each other, but she was sure that he would recognize her still.

"Hi Bill...." Majie looked up at the handsome man's face.

Stunned, Bill's jaw almost dropped to the floor, "Majenta? Majenta Loveoak?! Bloody hell look at you!! You look fantastic!" Before Majie could say anything more she had been swept off her feet and was engulfed in a tight hug from Bill.

"Bill! What are you doing to my girlfriend!?" Ron sputtered.

"Girlfriend??" Bill looked back and forth from Ron to Majie. "Ahh I see you've still got a taste for red heads Majenta."

Majenta blushed and looked down tracing her toe in figure eight's on the floor, "well you'll always be one of my favorites."

Ron looked baffled. "What is going on??"

"Well, we sort of dated." Bill began.

"Only for a little while" Majenta continued.

"Yeah but we realized we were much better off as friends."

"Yeah."

Bill continued, "and I've been so busy with work I've forgotten, it seems you were only what a 2nd or 3rd year here when I was head boy. But I see you've made prefect, well done Maj!"

"Wait a minute, wait you dated Bill when you were a 2rd year!? Bill come on, I mean a 4th year and a 7th year is pushing it, but don't you think that was a little bit of a jump?" It was Bill's turn to have his cheeks redden.

"Well, we sort of dated Majie has always been very mature for her age. I don't suppose you ever were with Fred and George?" asked Bill.

Majie made a like coughing sound.

"You didn't!" Bill exclaimed.

"Wait, what? What do you mean by that Bill?" Ron looked at the two of them, feeling slightly left out. Harry was trying not to chuckle, but it always seemed that Ron got the hand-me-downs, and this time it was his own girlfriend who had been passed down through Weasley generations.

"Well not at the same time if you must know!" Majie broke into a large smile.

"You are positively the devil." Bill cracked a smile.

"Me?" Majie looked at him innocently. "Look who's talking Mr. Long haired and earring wearing wonder. When did you decide to put holes in your body any ways?"

"Oh the year after I finished here at Hogwarts. I thought it would be a nice touch what do you think?"

"It's very much you."

"Wait, wait.." Ron cut in again. "Let me get this straight you dated Bill, then Fred and George, and now me? Why do I not feel all that special anymore?"

"Oh Ron." Majie wrapped her arms around him. "You are the most special of all the Weasleys. You are the only one who could be both my friend and love."

"Now that was deep Maj," chuckled Bill.

"Shut it." She play punched him. "See Ron, mostly you are the only serious relationship I've been in with a Weasley. Bill is too goofy for me," she eyed Bill playfully, "Fred and George well they are Fred and George, enough said, Percy good lord no way, and Charlie well he was just a little to adventurous for me I guess, that and he was too Quidditch involved."

"Wait.. you dated Percy and Charlie?" Ron crinkled his nose at the thought of Percy laying a hand on his Majenta.

"Ew, no way! Ha ha." She laughed. "I didn't really date Fred and George either, exactly They made it clear that they liked me, but I mean it is kind of weird because at the time Bill had just graduated, and then Fred and George started following me around pretending that the two of them were the same boy. I believe they told me their name was Freorge? I thought it sounded a bit fishy to me. So one day I caught them together and said 'Ah ha! I knew it couldn't be just one boy I've been talking to.' It was very funny, but we've been friend ever since."

"Freorge? What the hell? They are some weird guys." Ron commented. Bill nodded.

"Yeah, well, George wanted it to be Gred, but you know Fred, had to have his name first, got George to believe that it sounds better in alphabetical order. " Sighed Majie.

The group laughed slightly. Mrs. Weasley finally stepped in, holding out her hand. "Ron has a girlfriend, eh? Why did I not know about this?" Ron blushed profusely.

Majie shook Mrs. Weasley's hand and smiled. "He's never mentioned me at all?" She asked, looking towards Ron. He was tapping his toe lightly, cheeks as red as his hair.

"I forgot?" He replied, smirking. Majie grabbed him in her arms and squeezed him playfully.

"So when will you be competing, Harry?" Bill asked, changing the subject to save his younger brother.

Harry was in the middle of telling them about his task and when it would be taking place exactly, when Fleur Delacour walked by with her family by her side. She looked over towards Bill smiling. Bill remembered her watching him when he first met up with Harry after breakfast. He smiled back at her before turning towards Majie.

"Who's that?" Bill asked.

"Fleur, one of the champions. She's half veela."

Mrs. Weasley's face contorted unapprovingly at the mention that a champion was part veela. "That doesn't seem fair. She could use her powers to charm the judges!"

"Nah, I think it only works on redheads." Majie said. Ron and Bill both rolled their eyes. Harry let out a short laugh before reminding Ron and Majie that they still had classes to attend to, leading Bill and Mrs. Weasley off to look around the castle.
