Mental Sisters

2

By the Island in the kitchen Dean was flirting with Ginny, and Seamus was flirting with both Persephone and Ashley. Persephone had her long curly brown hair in pig-tails and she was wearing a long white skirt and a brown t-shirt. Ginny was wearing a green skirt and a red shirt wrapped in a white sweater. Her hair was curled and loose. Ashley was wearing a velvet red dress and a white sweater. Her hair was half up. The three of them looked great.

"Maybe the day after Christmas we could all...hang out," Dean said.

"Maybe," said Persephone.

"If you're lucky," Ginny smirked.

"Yeah," Seamus smirked back.

"What do you think you're doing?" came Harry's voice. Everyone turned around and saw Harry, and Ron looking furious.

"We were just-" Ginny began.

"Go, now!" Ron roared.

"We can do whatever we please! Just because you're our older brothers you can tell us what to do!" Ashley shouted, she was getting fired up as was Ginny.

"Wanna bet?" Harry growled at her.

"Go away, Harry!"

"You too Ron!"

"I don't want my younger sister flirting with my mates!" Ron yelled at her.

"Neither do I," Harry agreed.

"Well you really don't get a say in that, now if you don't mind, the five of us are leaving," said Ashley calmy and they all left after her.

"God, I can't stand Ron sometimes!" Ginny complained.

"I can't stand Harry either! Who do they think they are, anyway?" Ashley asked.

Parvati, Lavender, and Bryton who were in the parlor were also flirting.

"So you work in the Ministry? Wow, cool," said Lavender.

"Er-yeah," said Bryton. He had no interest in fifteen-year-old girls. The girls seemed to not notice that they were making fools out of themselves. Even though they were cute girls he didn't have an interest in them romantically. Parvati was wearing a lacy purple t-shirt and a black skirt. Her hair was in two braids. Lavender was wearing a pale blue sweater over a white t-shirt and a long anke-length fluffy pale blue skirt.

Athena Karen Granger was staring up at the night sky. George Weasley was to her left, and Daisy Lilian Potter was to her right. Athena was wearing a pale yellow t-shirt and jeans. Her long straight dirty blonde hair was in a messy bun. Daisy had on a pink t-shirt, and a black skirt. She wrapped her black cloak more tightly around her because it was freezing. George and Athena went inside and soon it was only Daisy and Fred outside.

"So-er, a lot of people here," said Fred.

"Yeah," Daisy agreed.

"So, how's Perry?" Fred asked.

"She's a bit better, but they still can't figure out what's wrong with her," Daisy answered.

"She's a fighter, that one. She'll be okay," Fred said.

"Yeah, you're probably right," Daisy said, stifling tears. Her light red hair was in a pony-tail. She pulled the scrunchi out, and put it in her bag. At that moment Fred realized that he had feelings for Daisy. Should he tell her? Or was it just a stupid crush? As Fred wiped away a tear that fell down her cheek he knew it was anything but a stupid crush. "Er-Dais? There's something I need to tell you."

Hannah sat watching Ron and Justin argue over Quidditch. Hannah had felt that Justin, Ernie, and herself were sort of like the Harry, Ron, and Hermione of hufflepuff. Three best friends forever. Hannah had first met Ernie when she was four. Their parents had been old friends at Hogwarts andd re-connected making Hannah and Ernie spend a lot of time together. Ernie had already been friends with Justin who was muggle-born. Justin knew nothing of magic until a few months ago, and Ernie had introduced him to Hannah at age six.

Ernie wasn't with them right now because he was a little embaressed. A half hour earlier he had told Hannah he had feelings for her. Now Hannah sat, thinking and wondering about her feelings.

"Hannah! Hannah! Hello?" Justin was calling.

"Oh, sorry Justin. Guess I was day-dreaming," said Hannah. She just noticed Ron was gone.

"Oh, it's all right. So what are you going to do about Ernie?" Justin asked.

"I'm not sure. I'm not sure at all," Hannah replied.

Hermione gazed at her reflection in the mirror above the mantle peice. She looked pretty nice tonight. She managed to straighten her bushy brown hair for the night. She was wearing a pink shirt, and a white skirt. Padma was sitting on the arm of the couch next to where Hermione was standing. She was wearing a silk powder-blue shirt and a jean skirt.

"Has anyone seen my sister?" Padma asked.

"Last I saw, she was throwing herself at Hermione's brother," Ernie replied.

"Still? God, that girl needs a reality check," Padma shook her head, and excused herself.

"Galloping Gargoyles!" Dudley cried out. Everyone turned to see what he was staring at. Fred and Daisy were in the corridor, snogging.

"All of my sisters are going mental tonight!" Harry exclaimed.

Soon everyone was staring at Fred and Daisy. When they finally came up for air, they looked around. "Uh-oh," Daisy muttered.

Meanwhile, Seamus, Dean, Ginny, Persephone, and Ashley were in the third floor library. James, Hagrid, Sirius, The Longbottoms, and Remus had taken their conversation to the attic study. Ashley and Ginny were still furious with Ron and Harry. It wasn't like they were snogging Dean and Seamus. All it was was talking and a bit of harmless flirting. Even if they were snogging it would still be none of their business.

"We're sorry about what happened earlier. We didn't mean to start a fight between you and your brothers," Dean said.

"It's okay. They're gits anyway," said Ginny.

"Yeah, no use crying over spilled potion," said Ashley, waving her hand.

"So do you want to show us around?" Seamus asked.

The girls nodded in response. Persephone was thirsty though and left. They hald already been to the downstairs. When first walking into the Manor you are led down three steps. If you made a right you'd be led into a corridor that led to the conservatory. The doorway beyond the convervatory led to the family room. If you made a right you would be led to the parlor. Beyond that was the sitting room. In the middle of the two corridors was what led to the kitchen. There were three staircases to get to the second floor. A spiral staircase in the kitchen, a staircase in the conservatory, and a staircase in the parlor.

Once up the stairs were six bedrooms. The first door to the left was the first master bedroom. Lily and James' room. The first door on the left was Andy's room. The second door on the right was Rose's room. The second door on the left was Harry's room. The third door on the right was Perry's room. The third door on the left was Ashley's. Ashley, Andy's, Harry's, and Mr. and Mrs. Potters rooms all came with bathrooms, walk-in closets, and balcony's. Then at the end of the hall there were two doors. One led to the bathroom that Rose and Perry shared. The second led to the third floor.

There were also six doors on this floor. The first on the left belonged to Daisy. The bathroom on that floor had two entrences. One was a door in the corridor and one was in Daisy's room. The door across from Daisy's room was the library. Next to that was the gameroom. And after that was the lab. On the side of Daisy's room were two guest bedrooms.

"Well-er. Should we go see what's going on downstairs?" Ginny asked.

"If you want," Dean shrugged, and he took Ginny's hand. Ginny smiled, and thought for a second. If Ron saw her holding Dean's hand it would drive him mad. It was brilliant.

"Um, I just want to have a quick word with Ashley first," Ginny smiled at them and the boys nodded. They left the hallway and went into one of the guest bedrooms.

"Here's my plan-"

"We hold the boy's hands-"

"And drive our brothers completely-"

"Mad"

"I like it," said Ashley. They giggled together. They always finished each others sentences like this. That had started at the age of six. The girls went back outside and smiled at the boys. Dean took Ginny's hand again, and Seamus put his arm around Ashley. Neither Ashley nor Ginny could wait to see the look on their brothers faces.

They went down the stairs, and into the hallway where Harry and Ron were, their mouths dropping open.

"What's the matter, boys?" Ashley asked innocently.

"VIOLET ASHLEY POTTER! You come here right now!" Harry belowed.

"And you too, missy! Get your underage self over here right now, Ginevra Molly Weasley!" Ron yelled.

"I don't think I will," said Ginny simply.

"Me either. By the way if you ever call me Violet again I will have to hurt you. And I don't need magic to do it," said Ashley.

"And as Ron knows I have a great left-hook. So unless you want to be spared the embaressment of having your younger sister hurt you I suggest never calling me Ginevra," said Ginny.

"VIOLET and GINEVRA! Stop acting like a couple of tramps-" Harry shouted. Ashley sprang at him and was about to throw a punch when Ron came up behind her, holding her back.

"Calm down! Bloody hell, you're strong!" Ron shouted.

"Yes, I am, and if you want to live to see tomorrow I suggest you let me go so I can murder my foul disgusting prat of a brother!" Ashley yelled at him, struggling to break free. By now half the party was staring at them. Ashley finally managed to break free, and shoved Ron backwards. He fell, and then Ashley punched Harry. Ginny punched Ron. When the girls finally stood back, the boys gingerly got up rubbing the sides of their faces.

Ashley and Ginny ran upstairs before anyone could say anything. Ashley ran into her room with Ginny at her heels. Ginny fell down onto the chair by the window, and Ashley sat on her bed. The girls were crying heavily, and soon there was a knock at the door.

"Go away!" Ashley said.

"It's okay, It's only Persa and Hermione," said Hermione.

Ashley unlocked the door, and the girls came in.

"They mean well," said Hermione as she sat down on the couch in the alcove.

"He embaressed me in front of everyone that was here tonight! He called us tramps, and he used our...full names!" Ashley countered.

"You know how his temper can get. I'm sure he didn't mean it," said Persa.

"But, still! They should apolagize!" Ginny shot back. Persa and Hermione were a little taken aback by their tempers.

"Ashley, Harry is your brother and he loves you. Ron is almost as much a brother to you as Harry and he loves you too. Ginny, Ron is your brother and he loves you, and Harry is practically a brother and he loves you. We're all so close and get on so well together. Harry and Ron just have to deal with the fact that you two are growing up," said Hermione calmly.

"As always Hermione, you're right," said Ginny. The girls hugged and then a knock came at the door.

"Quick, get downstairs!" George yelled as he came in. The girls exchanged looks and followed him. Ashley, Hermione, Ginny, and Persa couldn't believe there eyes. But there it was: Harry had Seamus in a headlock, and Dean was being punched by Ron. Bryton grabbed hold of Ron by the shirt, and Dudley and Justin held onto Harry, pulling him away.

"What the bloody hell is going on down here?" Ashley yelled.

"Dean and I were about to go upstairs and apolagize, when these two came after us," Seamus replied with a black left eye and a bloody lip. Dean was sporting a bloody nose and a black right eye.

"Merlin's beard! Are you two okay?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, Ginny. Don't worry, I'm really sorry about tonight. Ron, I'm sorry for talking to your sister, but all we did was talk, I swear!" said Dean.

"Rose, can you take Seamus and Dean to the lab? Get them the right healing potions. I am so sorry about this, guys. I didn't know our brothers were this overprotective being that we never talked to a guy who wasn't practically family," Ashley said apolagetically.

"Don't worry about it, Ash. It's not your fault. We'll take those potions and leave," said Seamus.

"I hope you're happy, guys! Hermione, for the first time in your life you were wrong!" Ginny said, and Ashley and her ran up the steps. When they were out of earshot Hermione shot them a dirty look.

"I had finally convinced them that they were partly wrong, and this is what you do. I don't blame them for what they did," said Hermione.

"You don't understand," Harry muttered.

"Oh, yes I do. You two are a couple of immature babies who don't want to realize that they're baby sisters are growing up!" said Hermione angrily.

"You're wrong," Ron mumbled.

Everyone left the party about five minutes later. All that was left were the Potter's and Weasley's.

"Dais, Harry, Ash, Andy, Rosie, Dad and I are going to spend the night at St. Mungo's with Perry. So you're all going to the burrow together," said Lily. Harry, Ron, Ashley, and Ginny hated this idea. The original plan was for Harry and Ron to leave for the burrow, and for Ashley and Ginny to stay at the Manor.
