Night Rain
Chapter Two
Okay, I know that I told you about my hate for packing, but did I tell you that I also hate floo powder? Well, I do. I hate it with a fiery passion that cannot be quenched. Aren't I the poet? Okay, moving on.
I don't think I forgot anything... which means I probably did and will remember it in the middle of the night. Oh well, Ginny will just have to suffer my cried in the middle of the night when I realize what I've forgotten.
(Insert evil cackle here)
...>
Oh, wow. Like, eghads, that was not pleasant. I think I'm gonna be sick. I hate traveling by floo powder.
Deep breaths... deep breaths... okay, I'm feeling slightly better. Let's see, Ginny doesn't know I'm here, so where would she be? It's early. Very early. And she might be asleep. Oh, this could be fun.
People just walked into the room with me. I don't think they know I'm here. Wait! I know them!
"Hey Fred, George."
That was priceless. They jumped, and big time.
"Amaya! Didn't see you there! How are you? We haven't seen you since–"
"Last year. Please Guys, it's not like we've been away from each other for too long."
I should probably mention that I used to take part in some of their pranks. We were so close. But then they left school. At least they wrote me often, unlike some people I know. (cough–Ginny!–cough)
Anyway... they've walked closer. Why are they walking closer!
"Amaya, Amaya, Amaya!"
"I think you got it right the first time George."
Hey! Don't wave your hand like it doesn't matter!
"You know we've started a business."
"I heard."
Cold! Give them the cold shoulder for not inviting you to leave with them!
"Sorry we couldn't invite you, but you still have school. We were in our last year, while you're in your sixth. We couldn't have you leaving because of us."
Stupid Fred, always making good points. Cold shoulder is getting warmer.
"Now... once you're out of school... we always have an opening for you. If you want it that is."
Stop doing the puppy look! Stop it! I can feel myself crumbling. No! Don't smile! Stop smiling you fool! Why can't I stop smiling!
"Lord knows you'll be needing some educated people helping you out."
"So that's a yes?"
"Yes, George, I will take a job once I am out of school. Though I might have to quit when they ask me to take over the position of Minister."
"Who says it'll be open?"
"Because I'm going to kick Fudge's arse until he quits, that's how."
Laughter. They're laughing. Why are they laughing? I was being serious!
"I mean it!"
"Sure you do, Maya. Look, we have to go back to the shop, but we'll see you around, okay?"
Ugh, they did it again. Whenever they used to say goodbye to me, they would pat my head, or something, and now they are doing it. It doesn't really bother me... but you'd think they might lose a habit after months of not doing it. Oh well. They're boys, who can understand them?
Not only that, but they're twins, so there is no hope for any girl that might want to date them. Woah, sudden urge to laugh. For some reason, it's hard to see one twin with a girlfriend. They would probably double date though. Poor girls.
Shoot! I forgot to ask them where Ginny was. I guess I'll find her sooner or later. Pah, who am I kidding? I need to find somebody to ask. There should be people around. It's the Burrow for crying out loud. Who would want to cry out loud anyway? Stupid expressions.
Grumbles, why can't I find people! Where are all the people? Oh, look, there's Mrs. Weasley.
"Hey Mrs. Weasley!"
"Oh, Amaya, dear, I didn't know you were coming!"
"Nope, I'm a surprise."
"Oh, that's good dear. Ginny's in her room."
Hmm... is it just me, or did she seem distracted? Probably just me...
Here I come Ginny Dearest.
Okay, up the stairs and... woops, wrong door.
"Sorry Ron!"
I really wish I didn't have such a good memory. Did I really need to see Ron without a shirt on? No, I didn't. Hey, at lease Hermione's prospects are looking up. Ginny and I have been plotting how to get them together. So far none of our plans have worked. Bargle.
Nope, that's the Twin's room. Full of gadgets.
And that is a spare room for Bill and Charlie.
And I think that used to be Percy's room... it looks like they converted it into a storage closet.
At last! Ginny's room! There is silence from within... ah, she's still asleep. Let's have a little fun, shall we?
"GINNY! FIRE! THERE'S A FIRE!"
"Fire! Where! Put it out, put it out!"
... ( I cannot think right now because I am I on the floor, laughing my head off) ...
"AMAYA!"
I should probably start running now.
"Amaya, get back here!"
Really, I knew that red-heads are famous for their tempers, but Ginny is usually such a kind-hearted soul. When she's not hexing you that is.
Look! The kitchen! Refuge! In the form of... a man?
"BILL!"
Bill is like, my favorite older brother. Of course, we're not related, but he's close enough. He always treated me like a little sister, so I always treated him like my older brother.
"Maya?"
He's wearing it! He's wearing the fang I bought him for Christmas a few years ago! That makes me happy!
And the hugging commences. Ouch, can't breathe.
So much better. I love Bill and all, but when he hugs you, it is a really tight hug.
"Hey Bill, Ginny is kind of after my blood, so can you–"
"I've got it covered."
He winked. See? We've got some kind of top-secret communication that is so secret even I don't know about it. I love the Weasleys.
"Amaya!"
And here comes Ginny, screeching like a lunatic. Bill should start just about now...
"Ginny!" I'm so glad I can always count on Bill to save me.
"Bill!" Man, her squeal is even higher than mine.
Hugging! I love watching people hug. Would you look at that, Ginny has completely forgotten that she was mad at me.
"Oh, hey Maya."
See? No trace of anger.
"Hey Ginny."
"What are you doing here?"
"You invited me, remember?"
"Oh, right. Sorry about that... slipped my mind."
"That's quite alr– FIN! I FORGOT FIN! HOW COULD I FORGET FIN!"
"Amaya! Amaya, calm down!"
"No! I can't calm down! I forgot Fin! Were you not listening?"
"Amaya, I can get him for you. Is he in your room?"
It's nice to know that Bill never loses his head.
"Yes, I think so. He should still be in his cage."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
That was close. I can't believe I forgot him! Ugh! Stupid Amaya! Stupid, stupid!
"You're so weird."
Thanks Ginny. I really appreciate your constructive criticism. You would go berserk too if you forgot your pet fox.
"Oh, gee, thanks Gin, that really helps in my distressed state of mind."
"Well you'd think Ravenclaws would remember their own pets."
"Sorry, but I think the hat made a mistake. I can't believe I'm in that house. Sure I'm smart, but I'm also.. What else am I?"
"Off your rocker."
Oh, thanks for that comment Ronald.
"Be quiet Ron," Ginny commanded.
...>
What! There is totally something wrong with that. Ron listens to his baby sister, who is small and petite? No! Something is wrong with the world! Seriously!
First off, Ginny looks fragile. Looks it, but that doesn't mean she is. See, I look intimidating, and I am anything but fragile, let me tell you. Of course, I have to since you can't see me. All you can see is my brain, which probably isn't very pleasant. Wait, can you even see my brain? Or is it just some silvery mass that my thoughts float around it? Oh well.
Let's see... I have purple eyes. Really, I do. There is a circle of dark blue around my pupil, but the rest is a bright violet color. My hair goes to just past my shoulders, and is dark brown. The strips right next to my face are snow white. I was obsessed with Rogue from X-Men, and I've grown accustomed to them. Don't ask.
Oh, and before I forget, I am Pureblood, it's just that I had a lot of Muggle born or Half-Blood friends. Mainly to tick my parents off. It worked.
Ginny is so totally jealous. First, her mum won't let her put streaks in her hair. Second, I am really tall. I don't know why, but I am almost as tall as the Twins, who aren't as tall as Ron (who in the world could be that tall!), but they are still tall. I'm taller than Hermione too, but she is also petite, so it doesn't count. Harry? Yeah, he's tall... but he is only about an inch or two taller than me. Malfoy on the other hand... that kid is just freakishly tall.
He is the same height as Ron though, so I guess that makes Ron freakishly tall too. Hey, it's true.
...>
Bill is back! FIN! I can hear him yipping in the next room!
Yes! There he is! Fin, my darling fox, how I missed you!
Oh no. He looks mad. I don't know why either. It's not like he was left alone for that long. And he's normally so cute... He's all light orange with a white-tipped tail, and a patch of white around his right eye, which is blue, while his left is green. His paws are also white. All four of them. The weird thing is, only his feet are white. His legs are entirely orange. Nobody else wanted him for some reason. Probably because he looks so different from the other foxes.
"Fin! Don't you growl at me. Infinity..." Taking out the big guns. Must try it again. "Infinity, you stop that right now."
He still looks resentful. Must remember to give him a treat later.
"Thank you so much Bill! You saved him!"
"It was no problem, really. You two should probably head upstairs for now. Dad's getting home soon."
"Will do. Thanks again!"
Ow! That hurts Gin! She's trying to dislocate my arm! Well, not really, but she's pulling hard enough to actually do it.
"Gin! I can walk by myself thank you very much."
"Oh, sorry."
"You should be."
"Oh, shush up. Come on, I want to show you something."
Really? Is that why you're pulling my arm out of its socket? Because you want to show me something? Fine. I suppose I could be persuaded to come with you.
"Amaya, come on!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
