Chapter 2
Kaitlynn hurried about collecting the things she would be needing for her trip to England and the Burrow. Her mother had called her Aunt Molly telling them when to expect them. Her father was getting all the French muggle things for his brother, Arthur.
Kaitlynn packed away a present for each of her cousins that were still living at the burrow.
For the youngest Weasley, Virginia or Ginny as she was called, Kaitlynn got a bottle of Madam Tarkra's Sweet Surrenders, one of the best selling perfumes in France. For Ron, she had a soft royal blue sweater for him with his house on the right hand side of it. She knew Ron would like it because he mother always gave him maroon colored clothing. For the twins Fred and George, she purchased a box of Pier's Pazaz Pranks. For Percy, her got a wonderful new and expensive quill. And within each box that contained the gift, there was also a Gold Galleon and 5 Silver Sickles.
She loved her cousins' and always gave them something when she visited them. It was tradition. Last time she visited them she had given Percy his owl, Hermes. She was so happy that Percy liked the owl. But that was a few years ago. She's thought of more suitable gifts.
"Kaitlynn? Are you ready yet?" Her mother called.
"Oui, Ma mere," Kaitlynn shouted from her room. Grabbing her wand and pointed it to her trunk. "Vingarum Leviosa!" she said. She pointed out the door and the trunk sailed out and down the staircase to the drawing room, next to it's fireplace. She soon followed it.
"There you are my Petite," Yvonne said as she glided to her daughter. "Now come long, Your father will wonder what is keeping us."
"Yes, Momma," Kaitlynn said and took a pinch of Floo Powder. Throwing into the fireplace she waited until it turned blue before stepping in with her trunk.
"The Burrow!" she shouted to the top of her lungs. She felt like she was being toss all over the countryside, fireplace to fireplace. But this wasn't new to her. She had traveled like this many times before. She loved the rush it gave her as she was finally taken to the place she wanted to go. She landed softly in the fireplace of the burrow, her Aunt Molly waiting for her and her mother.
"Well, now come along my dear. Your mother is coming in behind you." Aunt Molly said. Smiling Kaitlynn stepped out with her trunk gliding behind her.
"Aunt Molly!" she cried and flung herself at the stocky red haired woman. "It's so nice to see you!" She hugged and kissed her aunt's cheek.
"Why don't you go along and set your things in Ginny's room." Aunt Molly said as Yvonne stepped out of the fireplace.
"Oui Madame," Kaitlynn said as she took her trunk up, leaving her mother and aunt to greet one another.
"Molly!"
"Yvonne!" Came their echoed greetings.
Once in Ginny's room she unpacked the gifts she had, laying them on the second bed. She always stayed here, for Ginny was the only girl, save her aunt. Lucky for Kaitlynn she was the only child. Suddenly from behind her the door-busted open as five red headed people barged in, the sixth person of the lot having ebony black hair, her eyes a golden green.
"Kaitlynn, my old girl!" one of the red heads said.
"Oh, Fred, I'm only a year older then you." Kaitlynn replied with a giggle.
"Did you bring me anything?" The youngest and only girl, Ginny asked hopefully.
"Oui, I did Ginnia." Kaitlynn smiled and handed the first of the presents to Ginny. Ginny didn't waste anytime opening it.
"OH! Kaitlynn! It's wonderful! Thank you so very much," Ginny clutched her bottle of perfume and hugs Kaitlynn before running out to show her mother.
"For you Ron," she handed him his parcel. Praying it wasn't anything maroon he opened it.
"Thanks!" He said and picked up the blue sweater. His pouch of money falling on the floor. Scooping it up quickly he stuffed it into his pocket, then slipped on his sweater.
"I figured you could use a different color other them maroon," Kaitlynn said playfully.
"Yeah, blue makes you looks better," George said.
"Oh, George stop picking on Ron," Megan, the ebony haired girl said.
"Yeah, of you two won't get your gifts." Kaitlynn smirked.
"Ok, ok, you bet us," George said.
"Now what did you get us?" Fred added.
"I don't know if I'll be giving it to you now," Kaitlynn smiled and pulled out the big box for the twins. Ron sat on Ginny's bed.
"Wow!" he said. Megan and Kaitlynn both looked at each other as the twin mutilated the wrapping then opened the box.
"Kait!"
"You shouldn't.."
"Have," they said. Each turning to hug her. "Come one," Fred grabbed Megan by her arm. "Let's go!" George had grabbed the box and the three of them disappeared out the door.
"Last but not least," Kaitlynn said and handed Percy a smaller box. "For you."
Percy opened it would as much care as someone taking care of a baby. "Kaitlynn, It's wonderful! How did you know?"
Kaitlynn beamed. "Well, I figured you could use another one, sense you write some much. It's top quality."
"Thank you," He said and hugs her softly. "I would have gotten you something but.." He trailed off.
"It's alright Perc, I understand."
Percy grabbed Ron and shooed him out as Ginny came back in.
"It's great to have you Katie," she said as she watched Kaitlynn unpack a bit.
"It's great to visit, Ginnia," Kaitlynn agreed. "I won't be here tomorrow though, or the next day."
"Why?!"
"Because I have to go see someone, very important."
"Really?" Ginny lay on her bed listening. "I'll be starting school this year."
"I know."
"When will you transfer from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts?"
"Ginnia, I love France and my school. I was born there you know."
"I know, but I like when you come to England. Harry Potter's suppose to be coming and staying with Ron for a little over the summer."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Kaitlynn and Ginny talked on about school, and Harry Potter.
Fred, George, and Megan went out to their secret hide out, in the woods behind the Weasley's house. George gently dropped the box into the ground as Megan bend over it, looking at the contents.
"Wow! Guys your cousin's a gold mind!" Megan exclaimed as she pulled what looked like a Muggle Whoopy cushion. She looked at it from every angle she could before handing it to Fred. "What does it do?" She asked confused a bit.
"It's looks like…" Fred now examined it. "Good lord, I don't know but we can find out." He chuckled. "George," handing it to his twin.
"By George! I think it's a France Stink cushion. Once you blow it up, instead of plain air, you get the worse smell you've ever smelt." George laughed. "Genius pure genius."
"Well look at this," Megan said handing him a stick. "A French Prank Wand. I didn't think the French made them too."
George took it and looked at it, softly it began to vibrate. "Umm." He said. He held it away from him expecting a small explosion. But it stopped and he held it back up close to his face, think it was just a dud. Then before he could do anything, It exploded in his face. Megan's eyes went very round then filled with tears. Fred started laughing, ending up on his bottom. The longer Megan held it in the pinker her face and eyes got.
"Go ahead Meg, laugh. I know you want to," George said in a flat voice. Just as he finished talking Megan fell on her back laughing her head off.
"Dud huh?" She managed out. "Those wands are better then yours'."
"Yeah, I noticed," George replied.
"Oh, that was good," Fred said finally calming down.
"Just shut up and see what else is in the box," George said setting down the now useless wand.
Megan pulled out five more of the wands and handed them to Fred who safely set them down.
"We can analyze those later." He had told her.
Then she pulled a bag of what looked like heart shaped candies. Then after that, something that really looked and smelt like a fresh pile of dog droppings.
"Boy, Snape's going to love you two this year," Megan said with a smirk.
"What do you mean us two? You got as much detention as we did." George said as he finished cleaning as much of the soot off his face as he could.
"No I didn't," Megan objected.
"Megan, it's not right to have delusions of grander," Fred teased her. "Plus you got in more trouble then us. Always back talking Snape. That's bad Megan, really bad."
"I know, but Snape needs a slap in the face once in a while, and I'm just the girl that does it for him every time I walk into his class," Megan said perkily. Fred sighed and shook his head.
"Why do I have to have the girlfriend that is a maniac?" He said.
"Oh, just admit it, you and George get a kick out of everytime I back Snape mad. I'm just not scared of him like everyone else is."
"Megan, darling, he can have you kicked out of school." George pointed out.
"Like Dumbledore would let him."
"Ok, but I'm telling you Meg, keep you temper and language down. Snape with have your behind."
"Oh, George I didn't think you care for me that much," Megan joked. George gave her that looks before he tackled her to the ground. He's hands went to her sides, tickling her as she squealed out laughing.
"Hey! Hey, now that's my girlfriend!" Fred laughed. He knew George and Megan were like brother and sister. Megan knew him and his brother better then their own mother did. And that was saying something. Fred drove into the box looking at the rest of the Wizard pranks Kaitlynn had given them. Megan and George were wrestling in the grass, getting not only stains on their clothes but getting mouths full of dirt. Megan would take and stuff a handful of dirt into George's mouth if he had it open, and George would do the same to her. By the time they went back to the Weasley's house for summer Megan and George looked like they were piglets that had played in the mud. Fred wouldn't let either on them touch the box of stuff until there were both cleaned.
"But grandfather!" a female voice said in a desperate plea. "Why do I have to do this? Why me!? I've called to her but why is it I who have to do it?"
"Because," came a rasping voice. "You are not only MY granddaughter, but an Elemental as well. "
"An Elemental? What is that? I thought I could only use my mind to talk to people." The little girl said.
"You can, but only a certain type of people. The other Elements, all we know at the moment is that you, my dear, and this Weasley girl are two of the Elementals. I want you to get to know this girl. Gain her trust and them bring her to our side. Then that way the Heirs will be ours for the slaughtering."
"If I do this," her courage coming out more. "Will you give me control of the Black Riders?"
"The Black Riders!?" a chilling laugh filled the air about the room. "Your cunning gives you away as my Granddaughter. Yes, you may have control of the Black Riders if you complete this task."
"Then I will go, and do your bidding proudly." She said and bowed walking back as she did.
"One moment, do not tell anyone that you have been here. For many may ask. Go you your brother's house. Malfoy Manor. My nephew with make sure you are well taken care of."
"Yes, M'Lord."
