"Little bro!" I shout happily and engulf him in a huge hug.
"We're twins! We're the same age!'' he responds, but pulls me closer in the hug.
"But i'm just so much taller." I say, tousling his hair. I'm really only a inch taller, but I mercifully remind him after he hung it over my head in our first two years
"She ain't wrong mate." George says with a smirk. "She certainly ain't wrong."
My relationship with Harry has never been easy. Our friendship was, but sometimes I felt like we weren't brother and sister. I'm just so much closer to Adena, but standing here with him now, with my arm loosely around his shoulder, everything felt easy, and right. I met him for the first time I can remember on our 11th birthday, when he found out the truth about us. I was away the night You Know Who came, I was with Uncle Remmy. I was bit by a werewolf when I was a baby, and it was only a few days before the full moon, so Uncle Remmy was going to try to teach me how to be a good wolf. But before our lesson was over, we learned the news. We learned that Harry was the boy who lived, and mum and dad were dead.
Uncle Remmy then gave me to Dumbledore, and he told Remus it was too dangerous to have Harry and I under 1 roof, but he promised I would be protected. He sent me to Salem, in america. There was a family there, who were descended from the original Salem witches, and they took me in, and I lived as part of their little family, the big sister who played quidditch into the night and obsessively shut herself into her room for days and wouldn't leave until she finished her book.
I asked my adoptive mother who my parents were, and if they were wizards too when I was nine. That's when she introduced me to English wizardry and let me meet Dumbledore, Uncle Remmy, and Hagrid. They told me I could meet my aunt uncle and cousins didn't tell me Harry wasn't my cousin , but he was my brother a week before our 11th birthday.
We sat together on the train the first day together, and Ron, Harry and I became the original golden trio. At least until I was sorted. Harry was gryffindor, and I became a hufflepuff. I'm not mad about that, no matter how surprised people were. Hufflepuff is my home. I can hang out with my best friend Hannah Abbot, study with Ernie Macmillan, host parties with Susan Bones constantly, and after Addi got sorted into Hufflepuff too, we grew even closer. And, I still get to hang out with the other houses constantly, and Harry, Hermione, Ron and I hang out every chance we get.
Still, it's a barrier to not be in the same house, but over the summer Harry and I wrote each other constantly, and now I think we finally have the sibling bond.
"Well, big brother, I think hufflepuff's going to cream you guys this year. You might be a great seeker but Quells is the best chaser ever!" Addi says lovingly, running down the stairs with Ginny.
"Kids, as much as I would love to watch you bicker about quidditch, we should get going." Mrs. Weasly says authoritatively. "Adena go grab your bag, and we'll be on our way."
"Of course Mrs. Weasly. I just need to put my homework in my bag first then we can go." Addi grabs her unfinished Potions homeworks off our table and runs upstairs.
After what seems like hours I finally yell, "Addi we're going to leave without you hurry up!"
"Sorry sorry, seriously man slow down it won't fit!"
"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" I yell. I immidiantly start laughing uncontrollably and I have to sit down for a minute to compose myself.
Ginny pretended to be appalled, Mrs. Weasley pretended she didn't hear, but I saw a hint of a smile in her eyes, Percy looked at me disappointed, Ron and Harry looked at each other and laughed loudly. Fred and George looked at me respectfully and started a slow clap. "Damn son didn't know a Hufflepuff could even use that joke without being shunned." Fred said appreciatively.
"Well Fred us Hufflepuffs are the bestest of friends. Doesn't mean I can't make a dirty joke." I say and wink. "But it is harder to make those jokes when you're gay af."
Fred laughed, "Imma tell Hannah you're considering switching back over to the other side of the spectrum."
"Don't tell my girlfriend that Freddy boy, or i'll have to kill you." I say and playfully slap him on the shoulder.
"Ron, Fred George, Percy, Ginny, Harry, Adena, and Ell we are going back to the burrow right now. School starts tommorrow, and you must get a good nights sleep tonight."
"But MUM" Ron groans exasperated, "We haven't even finished our homework yet! Can't we just do it while we're here?" He turns away and wispers to me, "I need to copy you're charms essay."
"Damn it," I wisper to myself. Of course we both thought we would copy from eachother. Its times like this when I miss Ernie and Micheal. They were always a rock for homework and studying. Hermione was a help too of course, but putting two insanely determined Hufflepuffs and one insanely smart Ravenclaw together makes a force to be reckoned with.
"Ronald Weasly you will finish your homework at home after we give Ell and Adena a proper meal."
"Yes mum." Ron says, and I give him a sweet smile. He sticks his toungue out at me and I laugh. I forgot how much I missed these idiots
