The Burrow

We all woke up early the next day. We got our stuff together and headed down to the Great Hall. Mrs. Weasley and one of her older sons were coming to pick us up. I had thought that Katie, Alicia, Angelina and Lee were coming too, but George said that they stay to see Mrs. Weasley, and then they go home until school starts again. So there were only three guests: me, Harry, and Hermione.

After breakfast, I said goodbye to my dad and went back to the table where all our stuff was. Just then a short, plump, red haired woman walked in with a tall, thin, slightly balding man with red hair walked up behind her.

"Mum, Dad! I thought that Percy was coming with you?" Ron said.

"Yes, well he had something to do for the Ministry and asked if your father would come instead." answered Mrs. Weasley.

"Well, you must be Krista." said Mr. Weasley, holding out his hand.

"Yes, I am. You must be Mr. Weasley." I answered back, taking his hand.

"Yes, he is, and this is our mum, Mrs. Weasley." said George.

"It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Weasley, and you too, Mr. Weasley. I want to thank you for inviting me to stay with you." I said politely.

"Well, think nothing of it dear. You're welcome to come whenever you like." said Mrs. Weasley.

"We'd better be going." said Mr. Weasley. "You're brother's are at the house too."
We all got into the Weasley's car and headed toward their house, which was called the Burrow. When we got there, three red haired boys, or rather men, came out of the house to help grab our luggage. When we all got into the house, Mrs. Weasley said that I would be sleeping in Ginny's room with Ginny and Hermione. Harry, Ron, George and Fred were all staying in Ron's room, because their two oldest brothers would be in the twins room.
George and I were downstairs talking when Fred came down, followed by everyone else. That's when I was introduced to the three eldest Weasley brothers.

"Oh, by the way, Kris, this is my brother Bill, that's Charlie , and the one over there is Percy. Guys, this our friend, and George's girlfriend, Krista Snape." said Ginny.

"Snape?" said Mrs. Weasley. "We didn't know you were a Snape. Any relation to Professor Snape?"

"Yes, he's my dad." I said.

"That's cool," said Bill, "It's always nice to have another red head in the family."

"Thanks." I said blushing slightly.
George just laughed and gave me a kiss and wrapped his arms around me.

"Ok, everyone dinner's ready." said Mrs. Weasley.
Everyone crowded around the table and began to eat.

"This is delicious Mrs. Weasley." I said, honestly.

"Why, thank you dear." she replied. "C'mon, eat up, eat up."
After everyone was done with dinner, Hermione and I volunteered to help Mrs. Weasley and Ginny clean up. All the guys were sitting around talking about Quidditch. That's when Fred and George remembered that I had gotten them new brooms for Christmas and told everyone about it. Charlie told them to go up and get them so they could all look at them. They ran up to their room and grabbed them and came back down.

"Those are awesome!" Charlie said.

"Yeah, you got some girlfriend, mate." said Bill.

"Yeah he does," replied Fred. "I love her. She's great."

"Thanks Fred, I love you too." I replied.

"What about me?" George said sarcastically.

"What about you?" I replied.

"Hey, I'm your boyfriend, you have to love me. It's a rule."

"Really, where is this rule? I'd like to see it."

"Fine be mean." George answered.
I walked over to him, sat down in his lap and put my arms around his neck, and said,

"I love you."

"I knew it." He said with a big grin.

"You loser!" I yelled at him and hit him on the shoulder.

"You wound me, luv." he said with a hurt expression.

"Aww, want me to kiss it, make it all better?" I said.

"Nah, I want you to kiss me. That'll make it all better." he said then we kissed, for a bit while his family made stupid kissing sounds and made fun of us.

"Ok kids, time for bed," said Mrs. Weasley, "You can make fun of them some more tomorrow."

"G'night everyone."

"Night."

"Goodnight."

"Night."

"G'night."
We all woke up the next morning to a loud explosion.

"Damn Fred 'n George!" Ginny muttered sleepily.

"Wha . . . what was that?" Hermione asked.

"Prolly Fred 'n George blew up an experiment." Ginny answered.

"I'll go make sure they're all ok." I said and got out of bed.
I knocked on the door quietly.

"Who is it?"

"Krista"

"C'min."
George opened the door and gave me a quick kiss and shut the door behind me.

"What happened? Everyone's awake and they're not really thrilled with you guys." I said.

"Huh, neither are we." muttered Ron from his bed.

"We got up early to work on some magic candies and stuff and well, we mixed some of the wrong ingredients I think and so - "

"What's going on in there?!" yelled Mrs. Weasley.

"I'll get it." I said and walked over to the door. I opened it and squeezed out.

"Hi Mrs. Weasley, everyone else," I said looking at everyone else that was standing behind her, looking upset.

"What is going on dear?" she repeated.

"Well, I woke up earlier and had to go to the bathroom. I wasn't tired any longer so I went through some of my things and remembered that we have a potions assignment due the day we get back, and we hadn't started it. I went to remind them because the potion takes quite a few days to make, so we started it and we messed up a little. That's why there was an explosion. Sorry about that everyone."

"Don't worry about it dear," Mrs. Weasley said. "I think that you have done an excellent job on them dear. Normally, that explosion would have signified they were trying to invent something used to turn people green. But with you, they were doing school work. You're such a good girl."

"Um . . . thanks." in replied feeling guilty about lying to such a woman.

"I'll go help them clean up now." I said and walked back into the room.

"You're a life saver!" George said.

"Yeah, have I ever told you how much I love you?" Fred asked.

"Shut up you two. You're lucky I covered for you. It's not gunna happen again! I feel so bad lying to your mom. She's so nice, letting me stay here and everything and how do I repay her? I lie to her!" I said and jumped onto Ron's bed grumpily.

"Cheer up luv," George said, sitting down next to me and putting his arm around me.

"At least she's not mad. Or at least we didn't do it in school and get expelled or anything. I don't think you could live without me."

"Oh yeah, I'd just fall down and die if I didn't have a big strong guy like you around to take care of me." I said sarcastically and gave him a quick kiss.

"That's right. I'm glad you admit it." He said, and ducked as I started throwing pillows at him.
We all went down to breakfast, Hermione and I helped clean up again. The guys had to go out and de-gnome the garden. By the time everyone was done with chores, Hermione, Harry, and I included because we volunteered to help out, it was time for lunch. After lunch we all went up to pack.

We were back at Hogwarts before the Feast. I had thanked the Weasley's tons of times. Mrs. Weasley told me I could go over anytime I liked. We put all our stuff back into our dorms and then went down to the Great Hall. Classes start tomorrow morning and we all wanted to get a good nights sleep.

After dinner I went over and talked to my dad a bit, then headed back to the common room where everyone was hanging out. Katie was there when we got there before the feast. Alicia got back right before the feast. Angelina got back during the feast, so everyone was back and ready for school to begin.
