Chapter
2
"You're kidding!"
"I am not. I wouldn't joke about this sort of thing."
"But, demons…?"
"That'll be bloody creepy!"
"I didn't think they were real. Just some old myth or something."
"Now Arthur, what are you
gossiping to the boys about now?" Mrs. Weasley
said sternly, as
she entered the kitchen, levitating two freshly
de-feathered dead
chickens. On this very rare occasion all the Weasely's
were
home, sitting at the kitchen table. Not including Percy, the
downfall
of the family, though the Mr. and Mrs. would never in
their lives admit it.
And now the Weasley's. A wizarding
family, purebloods. Meaning they don't
have a single drop of
muggle blood in their entire body. And muggle meaning,
may I quote
another, 'non-magic folk.' Now back to the main subject,
the
Weasley's. They may be one of the few pureblood families but
they are not
one of the rich. Mr. Weasely who works for the
Ministry of Magic does not
make a lot of money, but no one
complains. They are a family who are content
and, maybe not
completely happy but close enough, with what they have.
Mr.
and Mrs. Weasley have seven children, all boys except for the
youngest,
Ginny, a smart intelligent girl. The two oldest are
Charlie and Bill, both
of whom have moved out and started their
lives in the wizarding world. There
is Fred and George, twins,
both of whom like causing mischief and have also
started a wizard
joke shop. Stocked with enchanted things that range from
love-potions
to joke wands that give you black eyes. And they have become
very
successful.
There is Percy, as I said before, the downfall of
the family. And there is
Ronald Weasley, or more popularly known
as Ron, who is tall and lengthy and
has grown several inches in
the past few months. The second youngest child,
not the brightest
of the bunch, not the most popular of the bunch but he is
better
at wizards chess than anyone else in his family. He is best
friends
with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. The entire family
is easily
recognized as Weasley's because of their flaming red
hair and sadly for
their hand-me-down clothes.
"Mum! You
haven't heard, have you!" Shouted Ginny, looking slightly
pale
from the news.
"What haven't I heard?" Mrs.
Weasley asked, her eyes falling on her balding
husband. He looked
up at his wife, not really wanting to tell her about what
he had
heard, after all she would get worried sick over the
children.
"W-well… I. I…" He began slowly.
"C'mon
dad, tell mum!" Fred said, excitedly. Although he no longer went
to
Hogwarts, and neither did George, this was unbelievable
news.
"Yes, tell me what all this hubb-bub is about,
Arthur." She looked
expectantly at him.
"Well, Molly
dear, I over heard at the Ministry, that Dumbeldore is
bringing
demons to the school."
Mrs. Weasley placed a
hand over her heart and looked as if she was about to
faint. "What
for!" she managed to say, taking a seat with the rest of
the
family.
"You mean they're real?" asked Ron, who was even paler than Ginny.
"Well anything's possible, I suppose." Answered Mr. Weasley.
"But what for, Arthur?"
asked Mrs. Weasley again, her eyes wide with shock.
Mr. Weasely
took a sip of his tea before answering.
"I don't know,
Molly. I only heard that Dumbeldore was telling the Minister
of
Magic that he was bringing demons to the school." He said a
bit
impatiently, he had said it dozens of times already.
The
discussion of demons continued through out the night. Wondering
what
they may look like, if they're there to help Filch with the
patrolling of
the castle or if they're there for some kind of
sadistic punishment to those
who get detention. The thought of
demons protecting them didn't even cross
anyone's mind at
all.

The
next day Harry and Hermione arrived at the Burrow, Ron's home.
Hermione
Granger, is a girl, a bit younger than Miss Keiko. Her
parents are both
muggles, so she is muggle born. She is the
smartest wizard of her age, which
is around 16 or 15, and is close
friends to Harry and Ron. She has bushy
brown hair and is a very
persistent young woman.
Ron, Ginny, who was also friends with
Harry and Hermione, Harry and Hermione
were gathered in Ron's
room. The two new comers had just been told of the
demons that
were to arrive at Hogwarts.
"Demons…" Harry breathed.
"Yeah… but dad might've heard wrong." He
said almost hopefully. Who in their
right mind would want demons
at their school? He thought.
"I don't think he did."
Ginny said, "Maybe the demons won't hurt us. I mean
Dumbeldore
is bringing them"
"And he would never do something to harm
us. We know that." Hermione said,
in a know-it-all tone.
"But demons, are they even real?" Harry asked, adjusting his glasses.
"I read about them…" started Hermione.
"You
read about anything you can get your bloody mitts on." Ginny
said
sharply, glaring at the wall. Before Hermione could retort
Mrs. Weasley
called them from downstairs.
"We're going
to go get you're things! Hurry down now!" she yelled. They
made
their way down stairs to where the fireplace was, Ginny and
Hermione glaring
at each other. Harry and Ron were looking quite
baffled on why the girls
were in such a mood with one
another.
The only ones going to Diagon Alley were Harry, Ron,
Ginny, Hermione, and
Mr. and Mrs Weasley. The rest of the family
were having a gnome throwing
tournament. They could get rid of the
gnomes while having fun.
"We'll have to buy you some new
robes Ron, you must've grown at least a half
a foot during the
summer." Mrs. Weasley sighed.
"Now lets go, we need to be
home soon for me to start dinner." She said. And
they
disappeared one-by-one into the fire. Outside the yells of gnome
as
they were being thrown could be heard, and a window breaking
from the impact
of a gnome could also be heard.
