A Weasley Named Malfoy

[Hogwarts]

The Weasley house was awoken at 4am to loud noises zooming through the house. Any normal person would have jumped out of bed and screamed, but Serena was not the kind of person to do that. Instead her eyes snapped open, senses fully alert, and she climbed out of bed carefully, wand raised, and moved toward the door. There was another uneven whizzing noise and Serena flung the door open. The darkness of the hall was suddenly lit by a brilliant light zooming by and Serena jumped back. The doorway across the hall opened to reveal Wolf in shorts, shirtless., his hair tousled.

Serena and Wolf had decided to stay over at the Weasley's house, along with all the rest of the Weasley kids, and leave with them for the Hogwarts Express as one big group, as they did every year. Their parents and guardians; Ginny, Harry, and Remus, were else where, taking care of business from the Order of the Phoenix, whose main goal now was to rid the world of deatheaters.

There was another whizzing noise and Wolf was suddenly lit up again by the light zooming back up the hall. She could see his clearly defined muscles for a brief second, his golden eyes lit brilliantly, giving him an even more attractive, wolfish look. In the dark again, Serena was suddenly away of what she was wearing. A black camisole and baggy pajama pants. She had hastily stuck her hair up with her wand and strands were falling around her face, she pushed them back impatiently.

"What the hell?" She heard his gruff voice, groggy from sleep, in the dark as he felt his way across the hall and she stepped to meet him.

"Wolf?" she reached blindly in front of her.

"I'm here," Serena's hand came in contact with his chest and she quickly recoiled. But he grabbed her hand and held it.

"The Quads?"

"No doubt,"

A ringing voice suddenly erupted from a floor down below, "Derrick! Erik! Daren! And Aaron!" In the dark she smiled, "Busted," She could feel Wolf's laugh and his warm breath.

"What's going on?" Liza appeared behind her, reaching for her in the darkness. Serena found her hand and grasped it firmly.

"5 guesses who, and the first one doesn't count,"

The three of them made their way to the stairs in the dark. On the next floor they bumped into Theo, Faye, Gail, and Xandra. Mrs. Weasley Senior's voice was even more prominent around them now.

"Those four-" She heard Xandra mumble.

"Xandra?"

"Serena?"

"And Liza and Wolf," Liza added in the dark.

"Oh, I really want to see the look on Grandmum's face when she gets the four of them," giggled Faye. The gang trooped downstairs and found the whole of the Weasley's there.

"How many times!" Mrs. Weasley was ranting, "I can't get a nights worth of sleep with any red haired twins under this roof!"

In the dark they heard their Uncles Fred and George mumble, "Bitters,"

"I can't believe I let the twins get married! I knew this would happen!"

"Well g'morning to you too-" Aaron mumbled.

"Why are we still all standing in the dark? Lumos!" Charlie's wand lit up, followed by a dozen other wand tips igniting. The thin light revealed a mass of red haired people with bags under their eyes, four of whom looked positively gleeful. The Quads were already dressed, soot on their hands a dead give away of their deed, as well as the pleased smiles on their faces.

"Happy Christmas!" Derrick burst out throwing up his arms, streamers flying everywhere, covering the crowded floor in a shower of colors. His twin stifled a laugh and the other set burst out, unable to contain theirs.

"Cut it out!" his father said sharply, though a hint of amusement was clearly heard.

"Shut up-" His father's twin , Uncle George slapped him in the back of his head as Derrick continued laughing.

"Ow!" he clapped his hand over his hair, throwing him a dirty look

"Wipe those looks off your faces now! Before I curse them off! All of you! Now get ready before I change my mind about not punishing you on your last morning here!"

The mass trooped downstairs for breakfast, over which Mrs. Weasley kept throwing the four of them glares, but other wise, it was quiet ritual.

The all dressed and for an hour there was the hustle and bustle of last minute packing. Serena was lying listlessly sprawled across the couch, she had packed everything last nights and was set, staring up at the ceiling as if watching the people move upstairs. Wolf wandered into the room, and Serena didn't notice. He had been thinking about his little run in with her from the night before, the picture of the Slytherin boy. He felt a pang of jealousy as he thought about it again for the third time this morning; he wanted some answers. He crept up to her silently, clearly visible if only turned her head ever so slightly, and sprang on her, trapping her beneath him.

"Wolf! GET THE FUCK OFF ME!"

"No-" he smirked triumphantly, "I think I'm rather comfortable," She hissed, face showing her utmost dislike toward him. He leaned closer to her, keeping his voice low as if sharing with her a deep secret, "Who was that in the picture?"

She stared at him for a minute, incredulously, "Wolf, get off me," and she tried to shove him off, but he held her hands trapped in one great paw like hand.

"Not until you tell me who it is and why you're so secretive? Is he your boyfriend?" his eyebrows lifted in a suggestive manor.

"Get off me, or I'll take you up on my threat from last night," she snarled.

"The one after I said you had beautiful eyes?"

Serena turned away again, not looking him in the face. But there was no hair to hide behind now, no where to hide her eyes as her emotions she had kept hidden so well flickered across them for a brief moment. And that was all Wolf needed.

"Tell me," Serena stared at his chest defiantly, not saying anything, "I'm sorry," he tried pathetically.

She looked him straight in the eye, but it was only for a brief second as she let out a loud scream.

Wolf jumped off her, and landed away on all fours, teeth bared.

"What is it? What's wrong?" The Quads came rushing in, followed by the rest of the Weasley kids dragging their trunks behind them.

"Oh, nothing," she waved a elegant hand at them, turning to stare at the ceiling again.

***

Finally everyone was ready and trunks were loaded into four magically expanded cars. The owls hooted noisily making sure their disapproval was heard, and finally, Gail couldn't stand it and she let them all loose. They soared upwards in a flurry of feathers, taking off in the Hogwarts, and leaving their owners to the delightful task of carrying their dropping filled cages.

Serena was grateful that Wolf wasn't riding in the car with her and easily slipped into the casual talk of the year ahead. Derrick and Erik talked about their fireworks display away from their parent's ears, who would mutter under their breaths loud enough to let everyone nearby know that it had been their idea every time they heard one of the Quads bragging about it. But after Gail's tirade, they resorted to speaking aloud all the things they might do to ruin Gail's first year, and that set her off even more. They scrambled out of the car at King's Cross and Gail stormed out, letting out all her rage in the middle of the parking lot where muggles stood and stared and listened at her foreign words of 'Hogwarts' and 'Cruciartus' and 'howlers.' Molly Weasley properly scolded her for making such a scene, but then left her to fume even more afterwards. They crossed the barrier without attracting too much attention and arrived in front of the gleaming engine of the Hogwarts Express.

Finally after Gail's anger, came her tears. All of the Weasley kids softened at this, she was the baby of the family and she was finally going to go to Hogwarts and be away from her family. Serena wandered away for a moment and suddenly had two girls on her, hugging her and squealing.

"Renee!" The two of them shrieked in unison.

"Tuesday and Thursday Friday,"

The twins gave her the same scowl every time she called them that.

"Don't call us my our full names!"

"Still curse the day mum named us,"

"Then you should be thankful I decided not to use your middle name," and the two of them gaped in horror. The poor twins, Tuesday Saturday Friday and Thursday Sunday Friday. Their mum had been a real stickler for the days of the week and they were forever bound to her decision… well, at least until they reached the legal age to change them, but by then, Serena suspected they would have grown accustom to them and wouldn't want to change them.

"Ladies!" Vijay and Kittrick suddenly appeared out of nowhere, each of them flinging their arms around a twin.

"Hey Vi,"

"Hey Kit,"

And the two of them suddenly spotted Serena and they both abandoned the twins and jumped on her, arms open wide, "Serena!" The twins looked dejected.

"Hello Kittrick, Vijay," Wolfgang had appeared next to her and the two boys jumped back in surprise.

"Hey Wolfie!"

"Wolf! My man!" And the two of them ran to embrace him, but the growl that came out of his mouth both stopped them in their tracks and they suddenly remembered the twins.

"Tuesday!"

"Thursday!" And the two of them where hanging off them.

"Hey Wolf," the twins slipped away from the boys and sidled not so subtlety over to Wolf.

"Tuesday, Thursday," he nodded to them. They tried to get closer, but his stance clearly said back off, and so they did. Serena threw him a glare. Wolf raised an eyebrow in response to it.

"Come on, let's go get a seat!"

Serena bid her family goodbye and they stepped onto the train with the twins, Vijay, and Kittrick.

***

"Okay, Orion vs. Caedon!"

The kids slapped their money down on the table.

"Anything off the trolley?"

"A round of butterbeers!"

"Cough up everyone!" There was shifting as people passed up their money and their warm butterbeers were passed back. Candy was strewn all over the seats and in peoples laps.

"Okay, ready? Go!" Kittrick slammed his hand on the table and the two boys started to arm wrestle. There were cheers as they strained their muscles in the test of strength. The Gryffindor 4th years were sprawled all over the cabin, people squished between one another, sitting on each others laps. Giancarlo and Vijay were laying in the luggage racks overhead along with Andromeda and Galatea.

"Andy! Pass me a chocolate frog!" The girl reached behind Vijay who she was sitting rather comfortably with and dropped it down, and Kittrick threw up a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, "Thanks!" He saluted up to her and resumed his focus on the arm wrestling.

Orion started to get the better of Caedon, but suddenly, his arm was on the table and Caedon had thrown up his arm in the air in victory, "Still number one baby!"

Kids groaned as the others picked up their money, gleeful looks on their faces.

"You're so strong Caedon," said Tuesday who was cuddling up under his arm. Serena rolled her eyes. Kit had thrown his arm around her and pulled out a bottle from his pocket, shaking it in front of her, asking. She nodded and Kit poured a bit into her butterbeer and she sipped it greedily.

"Hey!" Vijay grabbed the bottle away from Kit, "you've been holding back!" and he winked at Serena. 'Bottomless beers,' her uncles latest and greatest invention, had become very popular with the Hogwarts kids, as was else they produced. Bottles were shoved under his face and he poured some in everyone's.

"Well if it isn't the Gryffindors," A slick voice rang out as the compartment door slid open.

"Ashe, Charcoal," Orion nodded to them, a scowl rising on his face like the rest of the Gryffindors. The Slytherin twins glared at them, their cronies grouped behind them.

"Welcome to the caveman days of arm wrestling and fist fights," Ashe drew his wand, twirling it in his long fingers, and his twin sister, Charcoal pulled hers out of her hair, letting it fall to her waist in a waterfall of raven waves. Immediately, the 10 wands of the whole of the Gryffindor 4th years were on them.

"But your way is fun too," Giancarlo said from above, swinging down and landing on the table, wand outstretched, rotating it in circular motions.

Ashe strolled into the compartment and sat down opposite Caedon, pushing aside Giancarlo. Caedon was counting his money and smoking a sugar cigar. Ashe laid his money on the table and put up his hand, his blue eyes so light it seemed as if they were white, challenging. Caedon considered him for a moment, then immediately threw down a couple of galleons, his cigar, and put up his right hand to meet his challenge. There was a scramble to put money down and there were shouts of encouragement from either side.

"Ready?"

"Wait!" Serena suddenly shouted and all turned to stare at her, glaring at her for putting of this grand showdown. She stood up, and jumped onto the table, "I have an idea. I say, switch hands, use your less dominant," This was greeted by unease by the Slytherins and looks of glee by the Gryffindors. Everyone knew that Caedon was ambidextrous. Caedon put up his left hand nonchalantly, challenging. Ashe's face was completely blank but his eyes gave away what he was really feeling. On top of pure hate was the was the knowledge that he knew he'd loose if he accepted this new challenge. Charcoal had snaked her hand around Ashe's right hand, and he glanced sideways at her. Charcoal nodded, a certain look in her eyes that only twins share, one of sharing a secret. Ashe saw this and without further hesitation, grabbed Caedon's hand with his less dominant, his left, not looking at him, but keeping his eyes locked firmly with his sisters.

"Ready?" Serena said, as she jumped off the table. A tense silence had fallen on the crowed as Caedon grunted and Ashe nodded, "Go!"

There was an uproar as each side screamed out for their contestant. Ashe's hand pushed Caedon's and Caedon pushed back. Their hands traveled back and forth, hardly moving.

Tuesday and Thursday were yelling and Charcoal was whispering unheard encouragement to her brother. Neither Ashe nor Caedon's faces giving away strain, and if it weren't for their white knuckles, it would have looked like they were just grasping each others hand, as if sealing a pact.

"Go! Go! Go! Go!" the Gryffindors let out a steady cheer for Caedon, growing steadily louder with each 'go.'

And then suddenly, "STOP!" Heads turned, but neither Caedon's or Ashe's moved, their hands still locked together.

Standing in the doorway was Xandra, her shiny her Head Girl badge glinting threateningly amongst the dark green of the Slytherins behind her, "Ashe! Caedon! Now!" But neither moved, Caedon glaring at Ashe who was locked in an intense gaze with his twin, who's eyes willed him not to stop. Finally, after a silence, Serena awkwardly moved up and separated them.

"Gambling is not allowed in Hogwarts, or on the train! 20 points from Slytherin and 18 points from Gryffindor!" This was meet by outrage from the Slytherins, "From what I've heard, Slytherins had drawn wands first and Gryffindors were first to back off," But the Slytherins persisted, "Or I can make it 25," Xandra said sharply.

Ashe and Charcoal scowled at her and Xandra stared back with defiance, unwavering. Finally Ashe turned to Charcoal, "let's get out of here," they stood up, both giving her identical glares and Charcoal shoved passed Xandra, as did Ashe and the Slytherins dispersed. Xandra turned sharply back to the Gryffindors, glaring at their triumphant smiles. Her look spoke for itself and she turned to leave. Halfway to the door she stopped and grabbled the bottomless beer out of Kit's hand, "2 points for forbidden objects," and marched out the door.

***

It was dark when the Hogwarts Express pulled into the Hogsmede station. Serena stepped off the train and was able to catch Gail before she made her boat trip across the lake.

"Good luck!" she squeezed her hand.

"Thanks!" and she drifted with the throng of 1st years to the enormous figure of Hagrid. Serena was soon swept into the crowd making it's way to the threstal pulled carriages and hopped into the one's the Gryf 4th years had raided from a gang of 2nd year Hufflepuffs. Serena leaned back squashed between Orion and Vijay, thinking about her nice warm bed back up at the tower. She only faintly heard the conversation as if floated from the Slytherin twins, to the incident at the burrow, and finally to the potions master, Professor Snape, before they pulled up in front of the castle and stepped out.

***

Serena sat down in the golden Great Hall, staring up at the cloudless ceiling, bored. It was hard to believe that it hadn't been here 6 years before. Hogwarts had been ruined to nothing in the War, but with the help of volunteers, Dumbledore had restored it to it's magnificent grandeur. Of course, there were still a couple of rooms here and there that were floorless, leading to a drop more than a couple stories deep, but there were so many rooms in the castle that it was literally impossible to find every single one of them and restore them.

She could feel eyes on her again and glanced down the table and saw Wolf staring at her. She gave him a feeble wave and he smiled back, taking this as a sign of being forgiven. The doors of the Great Hall opened and 40 kids walked in, their hair windblown and their cheeks bright. She saw the nervous Gail, pulling at her bright red hair that made her stand out in the sea of moving black robes. She caught her eye and winked. Gail smiled back, tugging a smile on her face.

The old professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on the stool and it broke into song. It sang about cunning Slytherins and intelligent Ravenclaws, the strong willed Hufflepuffs, and the brave Gryffindors, and it's song ended with a smattering of applause at which Dumbledore stood up, smiling, opening his sweeping arms as if to embrace all his students.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! The usual start of the term announcements; the first years must remember that the Forest is out of bounds. And a couple more items have been added to Mr. Filch's list of forbidden items, to include 'bottomless beers.' There was a twinkle in his eyes as they wandered to the red heads at the Gryffindor table, "The schedule for Quiddtich tryouts are posted in your respective common rooms as well as up coming meetings for various clubs. I believe that is all I have to say," He beamed around the Hall, "Tuck in!"

Serena sprang up from her feet and rushed to the crowd of gathering Weasley's at one point at the table to congratulate Gail on making Gryffindor. Xandra stood proudly behind her, resting on her hands on her younger sisters shoulders as Gail turned red from all the attention. The Quads had insisted on doing a ritual dance that made her an 'official Gryffindor Weasley', running up and down the tables and bowing down to her. Snape finally told them to sit down sharply and the Weasley's dispersed.

***

Serena rose in drowsy content as she made her way to Gryffindor tower. She bumped into Kit and walked with him up the stairs, leaning sleepily on his shoulder.

"Damn Xandra for taking the my 'bottomless beer,' that was my only one!"

Serena let out a very unlady like snort, "Hello, my uncles own the store-- got a case in my trunk," at this Kit's eyes lit up.

"Party in the boy's dorms!"

Serena shook my head on his shoulder, "I think I'll go to bed, the Quads woke us up early and all…"

He laughed softly, "Okay, your loss… Too many Weasley's," Kit said to the Fat Lady.

"Indeed," she answered back, eyeing Serena.

"Ah, leave me alone," she waved a hand at her and the Fat Lady opened up, smiling.

Serena trudged up the stairs to the 4th year girls dormitory 20 minutes later after watching the Quads fight with Xandra about the 20 points taken away earlier that day. Shouts of 'traitor' and 'disownment' and strangely 'ketchup' filled the common room until she finally threatened to take away more if they didn't stop yelling.

Serena changed into her pajamas and snuck into bed, sighing contently. But she suddenly leaped out of bed, remembering something, and went to her trunk, sifting through it. She sighed with relief as she pulled out the little box from the tree house. She shoved it under the bed and touched the locket at her neck for reassurance. Then she finally climbed back into bed and closed her eyes, falling instantly into contented sleep, grateful to be back
