I got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places.

'Kate Nash – Mouthwash'

My day off

Have you ever lived together with two cousins who are currently training to be Aurors? Well, the good thing is that they are rarely at home, the bad thing is – with me being an intern and therefore not being at home either – our flat looks like c.r.a.p.!
It's a shame that I do not know any of those useful household-charms my grandma is really good at. I really should ask her to teach me. I'm pretty sure she would be more than pleased to help me.

So at this specific moment I'm trying to tidy up our rooms while James and Fred II. are out doing some bizarre observation-thing-y.
Merlin, how did we manage to get that much rubbish in here? Unbelievable!

"Uargh!", I scream out frustrated, hit the sofa and unwrap a giant chocolate bar. I so need
this right now.

After two weeks in the hospital I do feel exhausted. There is not one second of spare time while you are working there because this stupid glower is glowing nonstop.
In addition to that my co-workers are really annoying – like these flies which torment you with that horrible, horrible ""-sound while you are desperately trying to get some sleep.

The weird thing is that things with I'm-the-king-Malfoy are not too bad. Don't get me wrong. We are still fighting and we are still insulting each other, but I have the bizarre feeling that both of us are in fact enjoying it… Oh my god… what the fuck am I actually thinking? Maybe I really should get my brain checked at the hospital. Me – enjoying Malfoy's bickering?

Hell, no!

Fuck, who am I trying to fool? Hell yes, I do... I know he riles me up but I discovered that this somehow keeps me on top. Back in school his attitude annoyed me so much - but it made me want to be better than him. And when I think about it now… it might have been the reason that I studied as much as I did when I was at school. Just to shove it in his face and see his stupid, irritating smirk falter for one millisecond. It was definitely worth it.

All the fighting we are doing now is somehow inspiring me… making me work harder, try harder than all of my stupid colleagues.

Okay I'm really doing too much confused-Malfoy-thinking here! And my chocolate bar is finished… damn…

TAP TAP TAP!

I look at the window and recognize our (I think you get it) owl Pig… Trust my family to contact me when I'm drifting in a peaceful slumber. They have that kind of timing.
I open the window, fetch the hyperventilating owl out of the air and unfold the letter that it carried on his tiny leg. Poor thing.

Surprisingly enough it is a letter from my grandma and not from my dear parents (whom I had last spoken to after my first day at St. Mungos – Dad's reaction: " WHAT? Malfoy is your bloody boss? – Mum: "Ronald Weasley, watch your language, please!" – Well, maybe my swearing is not imported from Australia but some sort of genetic disorder).

Anyways - after I read the letter, all I can think is: poor me!

Dear Rosie,

I hope you did enjoy your first 14 days in St. Mungos Hospital. I'm sure it was pretty stressful, but you do realize that it has been 14 (!) days since we heard from you, young lady!

Did you think that this would not be noticed? Well, consider it noticed! You are expected to attend the Weekly-Weasley-Tea-Cake-Session that you missed last week (and I didn't even count all the sessions you missed because of your year in Australia – by the way: 48!)!

So I hope I will see you TODAY at the Burrow – 4.00pm sharp! (Even your Auror-Cousins will be there!)

Lots of love, hugs and kisses,

Your abandoned Grandma

PS: I hope you ate enough Rosie! You are way too thin anyway! I'll be baking your favourite cake, honey!

I'm doomed.

You may be wondering why I'm actually a little stressed about the fact that I have to visit my family. Don't get me wrong – I really love all of them but those family gatherings tend to work against me. Somehow every time I meet my grandma, she has the ability to make the fact that I kind of have a long-time-no-boyfriend-phase the subject of every conversation. I really don't understand why it's always me in the firing line. James and Fred haven't had a serious relationship since … I don't know … EVER! Lily and her boyfriend Nadan (an Israeli-National-Quidditch-Player who she met a year ago during her debut in the National team of England) have an On-Off relationship - and NOBODY complains! My brother is too silly to interact with any member of the female population and Albus is too shy to flirt with the girl he's in love with since third grade.

Okay – Victoire and Teddy are married and expecting their first child, Lucy and Molly are in very serious relationships (which is no surprise - regarding that their parents are both very serious people), Louis is still at school and Roxanne… well Roxanne is Roxanne. I think she's currently travelling around Chile with Max Wood (Yeah he's Oliver Wood's son and yeah Roxanne and Max really seem like a match made in heaven)… sooo somehow I am left alone out there on the mine-field. Yippie Yeah!

Right now I am standing in front of 'The Burrow' and I'm somehow curious what'll be happening at this Weekly-Weasley-Tea-Cake-Session.

"Oh look, who's that stunning young lady?" I hear an amused voice behind me and I begin to smile as another voice starts talking.

"Mmh. I'm not quite sure but I have the feeling that I kinda know that woman..."

"Yeah – me too. Hang on! I think I saw her last week sleeping on the sofa in our flat – totally exhausted from work."

"Now that you mention it – she has a very strong resemblance to our cousin Rose who's currently working at St. Mungo's."

"Ah I remember her vaguely."

"Oh shut up you two!" I laugh and start hugging Fred II and James – my two crazy cousins, slash best friends and hopefully my safety-net for the encounters of this very evening. They are both extremely tall, extremely muscular, extremely good-looking (even I as their cousin have to admit this), extremely funny and intelligent and you probably guessed it by now – extremely adored by the anything female that is not related to them.

"There you are! Now come on in! Everybody's waiting for you!" That Ladies and Gentlemen is the voice of my overprotective grandmother formally known as Molly Weasley.

Let the show begin!

Somewhere in the middle of the Weekly-Weasley-Tea-Cake-Session (Dad's eating his forth piece of cake – having an eating contest with my brother Hugo, mum's discussing something with Uncle Harry, Aunt Ginny is talking with Victoire and Teddy about the baby, James and Fred are making jokes with Uncle George… and everybody else of the Weasley family-clan is apparently busy) – it happens:

"So Rosie – ", uh oh… bad start, "have you met a nice young healer in St. Mungo's yet? Or anybody else? Maybe a nice guy from the Ministry of Magic?"

See – as I predicted (I am really wondering why I didn't take Divination at Hogwarts – I seem to be pretty good at it!). I turn to my grandma.

"No actually I haven't."

Suddenly the entire table is completely silent. Yeah… did I mention that my love life (better: non-existent-love-life) is the major interest not only of my grandma but of my whole family. My father stops chewing and looks like a cookie monster – James and Fred start to snicker (what a safety net…stupid cousins!), mum's shaking her head and Aunt Ginny looks like she's feeling sorry for me… I'm feeling sorry for myself, too.

"But why, Rosie dear! You are such a nice young lady! Why is a young man never good enough for you?"

Thanks to the well known Weasley temper my patience has already snapped and I start my weekly furious monologue.

"Well maybe I haven't met anyone in the hospital because I didn't want to – and maybe all my new colleagues are stupid, arrogant machos who think that a woman never should work in the medical area where they are trying to prove themselves in – especially if said woman is better than they are. And MAYBE I'm focusing on my career right now which is only normal because I am ONLY 22 years old!"

"I was only asking a question…", my grandma says then and since I really hate it to stay mad at her because I know that she's only interested in my life and what I'm doing (sometimes maybe a little tooooo interested) and that she wants to be sure I meet someone who's good enough for me.

"I know Granny! But you need to understand that – right now – I really want to do a great job in the hospital! I love the work there and I love helping all those people, that's just my priority now. I will meet someone - sometime but please don't expect that I'm going hunting for men right now because I'm not planning on getting a boyfriend anytime soon." I smile at her – and she smiles back (I wisely ignore Dad's: "You better don't plan on having a boyfriend for at least ten more years." He just doesn't like the idea of his precious little girl getting involved with an evil, evil, evil man.).

"Oh you never know Rosie, you never know… maybe you'll be having a boyfriend sooner than you expect."

I laugh: "If that happens you'll be the first person who'll know about my relationship."

She laughs too: "I hope you will keep your promise young lady!"

"Oh I will - it's not like I'm going to fall in love with someone you actually despise."

I had a pretty good time at the Weekly-Weasley-Tea-Cake-Session after this conversation with my grandma. Let's face it – even though my family has an unbelievable annoying interest in my (love) life – they still rock! And the pranks that George, James and Fred play on Uncle Percy make compensations for all the unpleasant talks I had with my grandma – ever! I mean: making this hyper-serious man sing "I'm too sexy for my shirt" in front of his whole family is one thing; but watching Granny go ballistic on them is simply priceless.

Yep. My family's the best.

Tadaaaah that's the third chapter ;) a little crazy-family-inside :)
