Disclaimer: HP world, not mine. This chair I'm sitting in, so mine.
"OH! Keefer, look! There's a gorgeous white owl out there."
"You mean in here, don't you Sky."
"Get if off the table! Get it off the table!"
"Think it likes pancakes?"
"OFF THE TABLE!"
"Well, he does like pancakes in case you were wondering! And what's this on the little fellows leg?"
"Disease probably."
"It's a note! To...Ginny? Who the bloody hell is Ginny?"
Up to this point I had been lazily lounging on my bed, listening to everything. Sky loves animals, she really does, but not when they're on her table. Keefer was a big ol' softy, and let them anywhere. As much as this amused me when I heard "white owl" I got a little nervous, and then "Ginny" nearly killed me. I got out of bed as fast as I could, at this point I was four months pregnant and rather large, and shuffled to the kitchen where everything was happening.
"I'm Ginny! Or, actually, I was! Hello, Hedwig. Do be a love and don't tell Harry?" I pet the owl as I said all this, letting her have a bit of pancake as I did. I took the note and gave her another pleading look as she left.
"Ro, what's the note say?" Sky was very careful as she said this. It was as if she was afraid I'd burn it, rip it up, or something. Instead, I carefully unrolled the parchement and read out loud.
"Dear Ginny,
I sincerely hope Hedwig finds you in time. All the Death Eaters are going on trial and the Order needs you as a witness. The trial begins in the summer. We need you to make sure that everyone gets what they deserve, please, please, respond to the owl the ministry will send.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter"
"You're not going." Keefer said that with more authority than I had ever heard him use before. I was a little startled, and Sky looked the same way.
"What?" I'm sure my mouth stayed hanging open long after I said that.
"They're just going to suck you back into their world and you can't go alone in your condition! I won't allow it!" he was honsetly upset. I had lost my voice from shock, but Sky, fortunately, still had hers.
"She's not going to go alone. We'll go with her. All of us. Me, you, Bobby, Ty, Jack, Rex, Hugh, Bell, Peter, they're living together remember, and Vic and Hellen." Hellen and Vic were engaged and living together, and she was thought of as family. A lovely girl, had the longest dark brown hair I had ever seen on a muggle. She and Peter both knew that I was a witch, but none of the details. I had even become rather close to Peter and Hellen, the three of us were still trying to catch up with the Wellington family ways.
"So...I'm going then?" I asked feebly, still not sure. I had gotten lost in the list and was now a tad bit confused. It was still early, gimme a break.
"Yes." Sky was now the one with the authority, I had to sit down.
"Oh, look loves! Bobby's chasing an owl! Haha!" it was later in the afternoon and Keefer was enjoying himself watching the big dog torture a big brown owl.
"That's the owl for Ro, you old goat!" Sky hollered at him from the other room. I was in the middle of the two rooms, enjoying my day off with a good book. "Oh, right." Keefer said slowly, and then brought Bobby indoors. Keefer is the only person Bobby will listen to. He drives me mad. As soon as Bobby calmed down the brown owl swooped in, I took the parchment, and he left. I instnantly started reading the parchment out loud.
"To Ginerva Weasley: (Yeah right, check the records.)
The ministry needs you to be at The Hosany Inn in exactly one month. You will be staying there throughout the whole trial, however long that may be. You will not be allowed to leave for security reasons. Aurors working at the trial will be at your home by floo in a month. Sincerely,
The Minsitry"
"The Ministry? Who names their child that?" Sky mindlessly muttered before realizing what was going on and turned red with embarrassment. "I'll start calling everyone and tell them that they're going on a little vacation in the wizarding world." Keefer said as he left the room to go to the phone.
"I'll go to work and tell them...that, um, I guess that in a month I'll be going to trial. Except I won't sound like the criminal when I tell them." and with that I got up, and went to work and explained the whole thing, in a good way.
A/N: There we go! Chapter 5. Please, curb your enthusiasm. Oh fine, just let all the enthusiasm in a review.
