Chapter 4: Meeting the parents and sister

December 21, 1991

Beatrice is nervous, she has been in a relationship with Charlie Weasley for a little over 3 months ago and she is about to meet his parents and little sister Ginny. She was pacing in front of a fire place in the mess hall. Charlie had look on his with a mixture of concern and amusement. "B, will you relax my mom and dad will love you and if they don't Ginny will definitely love you." Charlie stated.

Beatrice stopped and slightly towards Charlie. Suddenly the fire place ignited and two people appeared in the fireplace. A short, plump, kindly-looking woman with red hair and brown eyes that reminded Beatrice of hot chocolate next to the woman that Beatrice assumes is Charlie's mom, was a girl of ten years, she had red hair and brown eyes like her mom. Suddenly flames sprout up in the fire place. This time a red headed male came out of the fire place, he had blue eyes, balding just a little, tall and thin, and wore glasses. "Charlie!" The girl shouted as she ran towards Charlie for a hug.

"Hey squirt." Charlie said hugging her. "Mum, dad good to see you guys again."

"Good to see you to Charlie." His dad said to him hugging each other.

Charlie looked over at Beatrice and smiled. "Mum, dad, Ginny I would like to introduce my girlfriend Beatrice Cooper, Beatrice this is my mum, dad and my little sister Ginny." He introduced excitedly.

Beatrice was about to shake their hands when Charlie's mom wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug. "It's a pleasure to meet you Beatrice." She told Beatrice.

Beatrice was stunned for a few seconds before smiling and returning the hug. "It's nice to meet you to Mrs. Weasley." Beatrice told her.

The two women let go of each. "Cal me Molly dear." Molly told Beatrice.

Charlie's father approached her and shook her hand. "Call me Arthur, and I heard that you were raised by a muggle father." He introduced himself.

"Arthur don't pester her about her interactions with the muggle world in America." Molly scolding him.

"It's fine Molly." Beatrice said smiling. "My dad owns a small bar in a small town in Idaho."

"Anything that's different between wizarding pubs and American muggle bars?"

"Not much really, just what kinds of Alcohol sold in my dad's bar sells mostly cheap beer and some basic cocktails, while magical bars serve a wide variety of magical alcohol my favorite being giggle water." She said.

Molly decided to interject after she pestered Charlie about his long hair. "Charlie told us that you went to Ilvermorny."

"Yeah, I was in Thunderbird." Beatrice said. "I heard that you all were in Gryfindor, that's the house of bravery, right?"

"Yes indeed." Arthur answered.

"I take it that Ravenclaw are for the intelligent, Hufflepuff for the kind, and Slytherin for the ambitious." Beatrice said.

Both Molly and Arthur nodded. Charlie and Ginny were talking about her upcoming first year. The family and Beatrice were headed towards a dragon enclosure when Ukrotitel approach. "Ah Ukrotitel this is my mum and dad, and my little sister Ginny."

Both Arthur and Molly were about to introduce themselves when Ukrotitel spoke. "Yes, yes, yes nice to meet you three, I came tell you that no underaged wizards can enter the dragon viewing area until the 29th."

Ginny slumped a little, "Really!" She complained.

"Yes girl, there is a nesting Chinese Fireball and she is spraying fire everywhere." Ukrotitel explained.

The family looked a little down as Ukrotitlel headed towards the cafeteria. "Oh, that's our pukwudgie boss Ukrotitel, he complains a lot but has soft heart somewhere." Beatrice told them grinning.

"I'll take your word for it dear." Molly told her not entirely believing her and may not know what pukwudgies are.

Beatrice looked at each of the family members until she stared pointedly stared at Ginny. "Hey Charlie, why don't you take your parents to see the nesting Fireball, I'm going show Ginny something fun."

Charlie looked at Beatrice and couldn't help but notice that she had a look that reminded him of his twin brothers. He feels that he should be worried, but he wants to show his parents the Chinese Fireball, so he decided to trust Ginny with his girlfriend. "Is that alright with you mom? Dad?"

Arthur and Molly looked at each other then at Beatrice who had an excited look on her face. "I don't see why not." Arthur said.

Molly looked a little apprehensive about leaving her daughter with a woman she just met, even though Charlie seems to have fallen for her and trust her with his life. "Oh alright, Ginny listen to what Beatrice says alright." Molly hesitantly told her daughter.

"If you two are ready." Charlie said to his parents.

Molly and Arthur nodded and followed him to the enclosure. Beatrice put an arm around Ginny's shoulder. "So, Ginny wanna do something fun?" She asked her.

Ginny looked he unsure but nodded. Beatrice took her to her room in the female cabin. She goes to her closet and pulls out two brooms. "Ginny these are the shooting star sevens, the fastest brooms in all of North America, the US, Mexican, and Cuban national teams." She said.

Ginny's eyes widened. "You want to go ride them?" Beatrice asked her smirking.

Ginny smiled immensely and nodded frantically. "Alright then, lets ride."

Both raced out the cabin, mounted the brooms, and flew. The two of them were flying through the forest laughing as the avoided trees and other dragons of various breeds. The two were having fun despite the consequences they may face later.

1 and a half hours later

Molly, Arthur, and Charlie entered the cafeteria. They went to the food area and got some food. Just as the three of them sat down, Beatrice and Ginny arrived. The both of them were smiling from ear to ear and had unkept hair like they just got off a broom. The both got food sat with them. "So what did you two do?" Charlie asked.

Ginny and Beatrice took a quick glance. Beatrice started. "Well we…"

"…played catch on some brooms." Ginny finished.

Molly was smiling at Beatrice. "Well that's nice of you dear."

All of a sudden Ukrotitel bursted through the door. "WHO ARE THE IDIOTS WHO DECIDED TO FLY BROOM NEAR A HUNGARIAN HORNTAIL COLONY!"

Everyone was now had wide eyes. Ginny and Beatrice both shrunk under the table. Molly, Arthur, and Charlie looked at Beatrice and Ginny with angry looks. Ukrotitel finally started speaking, "WHEN I FIND OUT WHO RODE THOSE BROOMS THEY WILL BE SHOVING DRAGON EXCREMETE FOR 2 MONTHS."

Ukrotitel left the cafeteria. Molly looked at Beatrice. Molly's face turned purple. Arthur and Charlie looked at his girlfriend with pity. "Beatrice dear, can I speak with you outside for a bit." Molly told her.

Beatrice gulped but nodded and followed her out. Arthur looked at Charlie sympathetically, "It was nice meeting your girlfriend Charlie." He said.

Ginny was smiling brightly. "I like her, and I know Bill, Fred, George, and Ron are going to like her as well."

Charlie smiled until he heard his mom yell at his girlfriend. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"

The three of then smiled sheepishly.
