Secret Rose

Chapter 3

The Burrow

They all landed in a clear field with soft grass. In the distance there was a very tall house that looked like it shouldn't be standing up.

"Welcome to the burrow." Professor McGonagall said, "This is where you will be staying for the next week until the term begins."

They both nodded and she continued, "I have some important matters to attend to, so just go knock on the door and tell them that you're the transfer students and that I am having you stay there until the school year begins. Oh, and if you would like to, you can explain your situation to them. But it's completely up to you."

"Okay, I guess I will see you in a week." Saya said to the headmistress who nodded and then disappeared with a crack.

Carrying their books and Saya's luggage, they made their way to the odd looking house's front door. Haji set down her suitcase and knocked on the door.

In just a few seconds, there was a woman at the door. She was middle-aged, had deep red hair, and was a little big, she looked confused but she seemed very nice.

"Can I help you dears?" she asked, smiling slightly.

"Yes, well, we'll be transfer students this year at Hogwarts, and she told us that we would be staying here until the term starts." Saya said, blushing a little.

"Oh yes! Yes! Come along in, I remember her saying something like that." she said, now smiling widely.

"Who's at the door Molly?" someone asked.

"Those transfer students that Minerva told us about. The ones that are going to be staying here until school begins."

Saya and HajI walked in to see a lot of people in one rather small room. There was the woman they had talked to, Molly, what looked to be her husband, twin teenage boys, another teenage boy, and a teenage girl that had red hair. There was also a girl with brown bushy hair and a boy with black hair, glasses, and green eyes.

"Ah, hello. My name's Mr. Weasley. I see you've met my wife Molly. This is Fred, George, Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Hermione. What might your names be?" asked Mr. Weasley.

"My name is Saya and this is Haji," Saya said, pointing to the man next to her.

"Well, welcome Saya and Haji. May I ask where you are from?" Mr. Weasley asked, obviously curious with the two teenagers in front of him.

"Okinawa in Japan." Haji said.

"My, that's a ways away." Mrs. Weasley said smiling.

Saya looked over to see all of the teenagers blushing, though at the time she didn't know that the boys were blushing at the beautiful girl and that the girls were blushing at the hot man. Just then, the one known as Ron spoke. "Wait a minute, I know you! You were at Diagon Alley today, weren't you?"

"Oh yeah, you're the one that ran into me." Saya said.

A grin appeared on both twins faces.

"Way to go Ronald." one said.

"Smooth move." said the other.

"Hey, shuddup!" yelled Ron.

Thus erupted a fight between the young red headed teenagers. Hermione walked over and began to talk to Saya, "Hi. So, what brings year are you guys going to be in?" this question stopped the fight, as Ron wanted to know as well.

"Seventh I do believe." replied Saya.

"Ooh! It looks like we'll be in the same year. So what house do you want to be in?"

"House?" Saya asked, clearly confused.

"Oh, I suppose you don't know. At Hogwarts, there are four different houses. They're Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Harry, Ron, Ginny, and I are in Gryffindor. The four houses are named after the four founders of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Each person is sorted into a house based on their personalities."

"What a house pretty much is, is a group of people, that eat, sleep, and have class together, sorta like a family. All of the houses are okay, except for Slytherin. That house turns out many more dark wizards and Death Eaters than any others."

"Death Eaters?" Haji asked, confused.

"You don't know what a Death Eater is?" asked Ginny, completely shocked.

Both shook their heads, but Harry explained, "A Death Eater is a follower of Voldemort."

"Who's Voldemort?" this time it was Saya.

Now everybody was looking in on the conversation. "You don't know who Voldemort is?" Ron pretty much yelled.

Again, the two shook their heads. "Voldemort is an extremely dark wizard. Many fear him to the extent that they don't say his name. I'm the only person who calls him by his name."

"Why do you if everybody thinks so badly of it?"

"Well, Voldemort killed my parents when I was little. He tried to kill me, but instead, his curse backfired. He was in a weakened state but he came back in our fourth year." Harry said, and Haji realized that he had no problem talking about the death of his parents, but once he said that Voldemort came back, he had a dark expression on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Saya said, frowning.

"Don't worry about it."

Mrs. Weasley walked in at that point, "Dinner's ready. Saya, Haji, you just set your stuff by the stairs and you can take it up later. They both nodded and then headed in.

Haji looked worried, it looked like Saya was going to pass out in excitement from all the food that was there. In the dining room was a very long table covered in food, not missing an inch except for where the cups and plates sat. There were beans, mashed potatoes, ham, chicken, everything! But then Saya remembered, Haji doesn't eat, and these people don't know that. And even though she had permission, she didn't want to tell them.

Mrs. Weasley pulled up an extra two chairs. Saya sat next to Hermione, and Haji sat next to Saya, making him at the end of the table, with Mrs. Weasley at one of the heads of the table next to him. Soon everyone was eating, Saya couldn't even call it eating because it was more like inhaling, except for Haji.

"Haji, why aren't you eating anything? You're welcome to it all." Mrs. Weasley said and Saya sat wide eyed, looking at Haji who was still completely calm.

"I have to eat a special diet because of a condition I had awhile back. I'm fine now but they don't want to risk anything. I have things packed that I can eat." he lied, very quickly and very well for being on the spot like that.

"Oh, I see." said Mrs. Weasley, looking slightly disappointed at the answer, though Saya and Haji had no idea why.

Soon enough, while everyone was on their second plate, Saya was on her fourth. "Well, it's nice to see someone who has an appetite besides me." Ron said, looking very interested at how somebody could eat more than him.

Saya blushed, "Oh, yeah. I suppose I've always been like this. I haven't given much thought to it."

After awhile, everyone was done and ready to go to bed. Mrs. Weasley informed them that there would be some cleaning to do tomorrow. Everyone but Saya and Haji groaned, seeing it was the least they could do for all of the hospitality.

It looked like Haji was sharing a room with Harry and Ron while Saya was with Hermione and Ginny. The boys were asleep (except Haji of course) but the girls were chatting for a couple minutes.

"So Saya, is there something going on between you and Haji?" Hermione asked.

"What?" said Saya blushing, "No. If anything, our relationship is like a brother sister type of thing. Nothing romantic if that's what you mean."

Both girls looked happy about this, though Saya had no clue why. Soon enough everyone was asleep (Except Haji! who couldn't play the cello because he would wake people up, poor guy), seemingly tired from the day's surprises.

Although it seemed like no time at all, Saya soon found herself being woken up by Ginny, who was lightly tapping her shoulder.

"Saya, wake up, breakfast is ready." And, as if by magic, Saya hopped out of bed as soon as breakfast was mentioned.

'Well that was easy, all I have to do is mention food.' Ginny thought and then said, "I'll leave you to get dressed then, and I'm pretty sure that Haji's waiting outside the door for you." she added with a slight smile.

Saya nodded and got dressed, this time just a plain pink shirt and some jeans. She then brushed her teeth and hair, and put a pink clip in her black and shiny hair.

She opened the door and found Haji waiting right outside it. "Oh, good morning Haji."

"Good morning Saya, did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I did. Well, they said breakfast is ready so we should probably head downstairs."

Saya and Haji walked downstairs and into the dining room to find another magnificent spread, sausage, bacon, pancakes, eggs, toast.

"Ah, hello Saya, Haji. We have plenty of food so go ahead and dig in." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile. "It's about time that I meet a girl with an appetite."

All three teenage girls blushed, though Saya had no idea why the other two did. Saya sat down in the same spot she did the night before, right next to Haji. She put everything that could fit on her plate and began to eat.

Soon enough, breakfast was ready and it was time to clean. "Now, you two don't have to clean seeing as this is your first real day here." Mrs. Weasley said, although it looked like she could use all the help she could get.

"No, we'll help. It's the least we can do for all of your hospitality." Saya said, and HajI nodded in agreement.

"Well alright then! Harry, Hermione, if you two could, take the dishes. Fred, George, you two get the gnomes. Haji, you and Ron go outside and get the barn. Saya and Ginny, just do some pickup. Got that?" Mrs. Weasley said and everybody nodded.

Soon enough, the barn was clean, the gnomes gone, dishes clean, and the house picked up. It looked pretty nice actually. They were all back in the living room once their jobs were done and Mrs. Weasley began to speak again. "Well, now that all of that is done, I think we have a boggart upstairs."

Everybody but Saya and Haji nodded, not sure what they were talking about, Saya asked, "What's a boggart?"

"A boggart is a magical creature that takes the shape of the person nearest to it's greatest fear. Nobody knows what they actually look like though."

"Oh, okay, I get it. Do you need help getting rid of it?" Saya asked, still wanting to do something for all of the hospitality.

"Thank you, that would be great. Now all you have to do is stand in front of the drawer where the boggart is, and when I let it out, it will become your greatest fear. I'll get rid of it though." Mrs. Weasley said once they were upstairs, in front of a desk where the boggart was hiding.

"Are you ready?" Ginny asked. Everyone in the house was in the room just in case something bad happened.

Saya nodded and Mrs. Weasley got her wand out, opened up the drawer and stepped back. Soon enough, Saya's greatest fear was standing in front of her. In front of her was none other than Diva, covered in blood and holding a sword all the time smiling that same creepy smile. On the ground was a dead and bloody Kai and Riku.

"Diva…" Saya said shakily, falling on her knees.

"R-Ridiculous." Mrs. Weasley said, still in horror.

The boggart was turned into a puppy trying to chase it's tail, but falling every time just to get back up. All in all, it was a funny sight. But no one was laughing. Saya fell to the ground unconscious.

"Saya!"
