memories (let's make new ones)

Molly always knew that hanging out with her older cousins at school would mean that she was the only one there in her age group (Hugo and Lily were in the year above her). She also knew that it was perfect ammunition for them, as she was the youngest and therefore the easiest to tease. However, she wasn't a Weasley for nothing, and she always had the perfect comeback. It had been a while since she had seen any of them, and they were her oldest friends, so she was looking forward to seeing them.

"Hey, Little Midge," James said as she walked into their compartment, her brown hair tumbling down her back.

Lucy tutted at him, but sent a small smile her way. Her sister was on her side, which made her happy. "Come sit," Lily Luna said, patting the spot next to her and grinning.

Molly did so, finding herself opposite the eldest cousin, James, in the compartment: Fred, Victoire and Dominique had left Hogwarts already, and James was in his Seventh-Year along with Louis and Roxanne. Albus was mysteriously absent, but a blond Molly didn't know was in his space. She decided not to question it.

"How are you doing, Little One?" James asked, his eyes laughing at her.

"I'm not so little anymore," she replied. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm a woman now. I wear a bra! So I'm not little!"

"Oh, Honey," Roxanne said, crossing her brown arms in front of her. "You'll always be little to us."

James laughed, and Molly felt herself smiling. Being the youngest had some perks, after all: she was spoiled rotten by her aunts and uncles, and especially by her namesake, Grandma Molly. The teasing was worth it if it meant everyone looked out for her.

Lily Luna wrapped an arm around her shoulder, saying, "You're the smallest in here, after all. Even I'm taller than you!"

Molly glanced at Lily Luna. "Being small means I can squeeze into smaller spaces."

"And that's what makes you a good pranking partner," Rose exclaimed, clapping her hands together.

Molly's cheeks were going to hurt from smiling so wide, but she loved being included, and Rose was one of her favourite cousins. "I'm the best," she said confidently, and the rest laughed at her enthusiasm.

She loved her family.
