Authors Note: Hello everyone this chapter ended up longer then expected had to really show relationships between characters. Please let me know what you think! Pre warning not the prank yet.
J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter. I own oc character and plot. Thanks for reading!
Onward to the story!
Harry's P.O.V.
Jupiter and I start toward the adults at the end of the hall. Why oh why do we have to present ourselves at this party. While a Christmas party, my first ever, seems fun I am quite terrified. There are all the Weasleys I have not yet met and others as well.
I'm also worried about the prank I helped make the potion, it was fun testing it but what if somethings goes wrong and we get found out!
Jupiter bumps my ribs with her elbow. Looks at me with big eyes then makes a point of standing proper and with grace. It's almost annoying how naturally she can muster courage.
Padfoot looks back at us and asks, "Ready to be gawked at?!" Eyebrows raised and twinkling eyes. Uncle Mooney sighs and shakes his head. Then says, "Merlin Sirius, just go."
Sirius sticks his lip out for a second then turns to Aunt Marls, "May I escort you my dear lovely wife?" She rolls her eyes but takes his hand blushing. She like him is in black. She is wearing a tea length dress with quarter sleeves, it has a raised collar and is cinched at the waist. Her hair is loosely curled.
She looks tasteful but not over done like Aunt Petunia. I try to muster all my courage look at Jupiter and nod, she nods back looking in my eyes and says, "At least you don't look like an elf, you look more sophisticated and classic Christmas. I look like glitter threw up on me." She grimaces.
She drops the face as we are about to follow uncle Mooney around the corner and down the stairs. She takes my arm and we found the corner.
First I hear the mass intake of breath then many awws. Then I look to see the people. It is not as many as I had feared and I allow my self to relax. Sirius and Marley are at the bottom of the stairs with Remus close behind.
Sirius grabs hands and shakes them as he makes his way through the crowd, Marley is giving hugs, and Remus has disappeared. We are still only half way down the stairs. People are still watching us but it isn't bothering me. Suddenly I feel a tug on my arm and look at Jupiter.
For a second I think she is faking tripping but then I see the panic in her eyes and she starts to stumble. I see red hair moving for us but just in time I catch her other elbow before she falls.
She looks out and tries to blank face until she sees Ron. Who is walking up. He says, "Good job mate we have all had to catch her a time or two!"
We are finally of the stairs and Jupiter releases my arm and clasps her hands together in front of her.
Two more red heads join, they are wearing the same lime green robes with magenta trim. They are decently tall and have broader shoulders then most 11 year olds and have shaggy hair clipped short. They start saying,
"Well if it"
"Isn't the best friend stealing"
" Wanker Who is trying to steal Ron's place"
"Maybe ain't so bad"
"He actually seems okay"
"We kinda get along"
"He isn't trying to steal her"
"Boy who lived!"
My brain freezes. They talk really fast and are identical. Finally when I figure these must be Fred and George Weasley, I process what they say and look at Ron, who is totally red faced and glaring at them. I look at Jupiter and she is glaring at Ron. And the twins look ecstatic.
I hear the twins whisper,
"5 sickles on Black"
"No deal I bet on her too."
Jupiter snaps out of it goes over to Ron and flicks his ear. Then turns to the twins while Ron is rubbing his ear. "Hello boys long time no see!"
Then she hugs one, "How was transfiguration this year Fredrick I know you were excited about it in your letters?"
Enveloping her in a warm hug where her face is buried in his chest he says, "Good good, little light, McGonagall was really impressed with the details on my pincushion. Red and gold of coarse. Brilliant really sucking up earns better grades!"
She looks up at the boy and says, "You'll teach me while you are home right?"She almost sounds desperate.
"Of coarse little light."
She then turns to the other boy, "and Georgie will I be expecting any new potion recipes I can analyze now that you actually are In a class instead of stealing Percy's potion books?" She looks a little sterner at this brother.
He grins loopsidedly at her and says, "Not sure, Bolt I may need to keep the new ones a secret if you had them I couldn't use them on you."
She looks at him angry, then let's her face slip into a smirk. "It was worth a try Georgie! I'll get them one way or the other just you wait!"
"What ever you say Bolt now get over here!" He says picking her up and giving her a hug and twirling her around.
Once he sets her down she says, "and yes this is Harry Potter my new brother."
She seems rather smug. Ron has seemed disgruntled the entire time. And the twins look at me.
"Hello it's nice to meet you two, um, is there a way to tell you apart I noticed Jupi could?"
They look at me and smile as does Jupiter, Ron however seems to be getting angrier.
One twin says,
"There may be"
The other,
"There may not be"
"We won't tell"
"And neither will she"
" we have her"
"Sworn to secrecy!"
Ron grumble, "You all suck."
Soon three more red heads walk up. Probably noticing the commotion.
Ron smiles at who I assume are his brothers. Since they all vaguely resemble each other.
The oldest steps forward and sticks his hand out, "Bill Weasley, pleased to meet you Harry, hope none of these trouble makers are buggin ya." He has an easy confidence, looks to be in his late teens, he has shoulder length red hair a few shades lighter then Ron and the twins. Closer to Ginny. Actually the two bear a remarkable resemblance but he has dark blue eyes.Bill is wearing dark brown robes with maroon trim.
I stick my hand out and grab his hand, "Harry Potter, and no not at this point I'm used to the small trouble makers." I grin at him and he grins back. Bill moves to hug Jupiter.
"Hello Jupiter, good to see you, you may almost reach me chest soon!" I see her her give him a disgruntled hug where she is quite literally the height of his stomach.
"I'll be tall one day just you wait!"
Then the curly haired red head steps up. He is the darkest haired Weasley and wears specs like me. "Percy Weasley, you are of coarse Harry Potter." He sticks his hand out, he is only a bit taller then the twins with narrower shoulders and slim build. He has dark brown eyes and less freckles then Ron. He is in tweed grey robes with black piping.
"Yes that's me nice to meet you Percy." He is looking at me a bit wide eyed until Jupiter pulls on his arm. "Hey professor, I missed you are you going to help me practice dancing again this holiday!" Jupiter said.
Percy breaks into a warmer face then I've seen him with since he walked up. "Of coarse if you are still interested. I understand if..."
Jupiter cut him off, "I was hoping you could show me other styles then ballroom Aunt Cissy only allows that and I had hoped to broaden my horizons."
While the continue to converse the last red head steps forward. If not that he was a Weasley and had a smile on his face I would have been running. He looks younger then Bill but is almost twice as thick. He looks like a muggle body-builder. He has cropped red hair the same color as Ron's and has the same light blue eyes.
"Wotcher, the names Charlie, it's nice to meet ya, been hearing loads from Ronnie here, come here we will be buds and Weasleys hug!" Then I'm being crushed into a hard chest covered in garish red and green. Apparently crushing hugs are genetic and Charlie took after Molly.
Once I was sat down, "Hello Charlie I'm Harry. It is good to met you."
Then like the rest he turned to Jupiter who was looking at him and blushing. She doesn't blush! Charlie booms, "If it isn't Little Black! Good to see you tiny!" He picks her up by the waist and throws her in the air and catches her in a hug. She giggles angelicly, hugging his middle.
"Hullo Charlie." She says bashfully looking at the ground an twisting one of her feet. Ron makes a Draco like sneer at his brother the grabs Jupiter and me and pulls us away to find Draco.
Just then Padfoot comes up, "ah good I've been looking for you three I have someone for you to meet."
"All of us" I ask and he looks at us and smiles wickedly, "Oh yes even, Jupiter darling you First I need to make an impression."
Then he picks up Jupiter who looks very embarrassed while her dad speeds his pace then stops behind a women in a green tartan robes and he yells, "Minnie look someone was to stupid to procreate with me and here's the proof!" He proceeds to hold Jupiter out in front of him like a present.
The women turns and says, "Mr. Black what are you... " she locks eyes with the young blonde who was being held by her father, "this is proof of what!"
Sirius looks giddy, finally Mooney comes over and looks at the scene, "oh Padfoot no."
Sirius replies, "This Minnie, is my daughter Jupiter Black, thus proof that I have procreated! Jupiter met Professor McGonagall!"
The Professor looked at them gobsmacked, while Jupiter squeaked wiggled out of her fathers grasped, curtsied at the Professor and said very fast, " Hello ma'am it is an honor to met you I have heard so much about you. My name is Jupiter Black," she says reaching and shaking the still stunned Professors hand the turning and saying, " these are two of my best friends, Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter!"
The professors just nods says to the children, "welcome to Hogwarts, wait what."
Then she finally snaps out of being dazed and smacks Padfoot on the back of the head,"MR. BLACK I CAN NOT BElIEVE YOU KEPT THIS FROM ME! THIS GIRL SHOULD HAVE GROWN UP MY GRANDDAUGHTER!!!!" Each word is punctuated with a smack!
"ALBUS! MR. LUPIN COME EXPLAIN YOURSELVES THIS INSTANT!"
Then Ron leans over and whispers, "I think we should run."
And the Professors turns looks directly at him and say, "I wouldn't Mr. Weasley, and 10 points from Gryffindor!"
