Chapter Five: The Beginning
After Breakfast they helped Mrs. Weasley clean up. Athur helped for a little while but he got a call halfway through from work and had to leave. George saw Becky gazing at the clock as Mr. Weasley's hand moved to "Work". He went over there and looked at it from next to her.
First thing he realized was that she was about an inch taller than him. The next thing he realized was that she was avoiding looking at him and pretending she didn't notice he was next to her. George had noticed this before that breakfast. She never really looked at people, and when she did, it was for a very short time. He wondered why.
"Nice clock." she said shyly.
"Yeah. It is pretty cool isn't it." George replied, and there was a short silence, which Bill broke.
"Come on we're going to show her the house then Fred says you and him are showing her the shop-"
"Can we come?" Ron burst in. He had been wanting to go there all summer so far.
"Shop?" Becky wondered, and Fred and George both seemed to know what she was thinking.
"Long story. But it's our joke shop Weasley's Wizard Weezes. We invent stuff and sell them." they said proudly.
"You two invent stuff? That's so cool! I'd love to go see them! I don't invent stuff really but I always get ideas in my head!"
From George's perspective:
Becky seems very eager to see the rest of the house. or is it just because she wants to go to the shop? I'm not really sure but everything she sees in our house amazes her. I guess we have much cooler stuff than I thought. We took her out to the back field where we usually practice quidditch, and everyone seemed to be talking to her at once. Hermione and Ginny were talking about Hogsmeade, Ron and Harry were talking about Chudley Cannons, Bill was talking about the World Cup we had gone to a couple years ago, Fred was telling her more about the shop, and finally she just kinda lagged behind. I wondered why he was backing out while people were talking to her, but then I realized that now it seemed like they were just talking to themselves. I was kinda in the back as well, and I tried to make a conversation.
"So, do you have quidditch teams at your school?" I asked her.
She shrugged. "We have a class where they teach us Quidditch and we play. It's just a small game though and It's only one class that plays."
"Are you good at it?"
"I guess." As she walks her long pants drag across the grass. Her hair blows as the wind gets alittle stronger.
"What position do you play? I played Beater on the Gryffindor House Team." Maybe we could practice together if she's a Beater.
"Well, they make you play all positions so you get a chance to be all of them. not at the same time though." she adds quickly. "they switch you on and off."
"Really? Oh. maybe we could practice some time over the summer. while your still here."
"Yeah. we could." Her eyes lift from her feet and look over at me, and she smiles.
We follow the rest of them back to the Burrow and we tell mum we'll be back for lunch at 11 or 12:30. We use floo powder to get to the shop and I notice that Becky groans at this. She must not like it very much.
When we all get there almost at once everyone wants to buy 20 bags full of stuff, which is really good. We've had a lot of customers and money has been flowing in.
"Looks like you have a good buisness!" Becky says happily, looking at the Skiving snackboxes.
"Yeah we do!"
After a while we take Becky wround Diagon Ally and show her where we buy all our school supplies, and she's so jealous.
"Oh my gosh I wish we could go here1 This place is great." She stops short when she sees Flourish and Blotts. Ron rolled his eyes and Hermione glared at him.
"Ohh! That place looks nice!" she said, looking at the sign in front of it. "That old shop kinda look to it makes it look even better don't you think?" she added.
Well, nothing more interesting happens in this chapter so you'll have to wait until the next one. hehehe! You might hear a lot of screaming and yelling at Fred and me in there, so watch out! wink wink.
