This might be a boring chapter b/c it has a lot of quots from the book but you should still read it because you... well you just should ok!

Chapter 3

Ain't She Sweet

The twins followed into the house which she called the Burrow. They entered a very cramped kitchen. It the middle of the room was a scrubbed wooden table and chairs. On one of the walls was a clock with one hand and no numbers instead it said things like time to make tea, time to feed the chickens, and you're late. There were also books stacked on the mantelpiece.

"I'll just start dinner and you two can take your things upstairs if you don't mind. Maria you can sleep in Ginny's room it's the first door on the second landing. Shevesh you'll be with Percy he won't be happy but every other room is full." She said this all very fast.

"Where is Percy's room?" Shevesh asked sheepishly. "Oh sorry dear, it's the third door on the fourth landing." "Thanks"

The twins made their way up to the rooms. Suddenly Maria stopped and Shevesh ran into her. "OW, why'd you stop?" "Sorry, but I just realized she told us to go to separate rooms." For most people this wouldn't be a problem but for Maria and Shevesh it was huge. See the twins had this weird thing where if they're not at their house they have to share a room or bed if possible.

"Maria we're sixteen I think we'll live if we don't share a room for one night in someone's house."

"Ya but…,"

"What you're not afraid the monsters will get you." He teased.

"Maybe." She said defensibly.

This showed how close they were. If it had been anyone else who questioned her bravery she would have socked them or at least said she wasn't afraid.

"All right if you have a spas attack you can come into Percy's room."

"Thanks! Has anyone ever told you you're the greatest person ever?!"

"Once or twice." He said offhandedly. Maria smacked him hard. "OW, WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

"For being a jackass!"

After dinner they went up and packed because said it was going to be a pain getting everyone packed tomorrow and contrary to popular belief they were thoughtful people. Just not at home.

---------------------------------------

Maria was woken up by a sharp pain in her shoulder. She tried to turn around but found that Shevesh's arms were wrapped around her. Who's afraid of monsters now! She thought as she tried to untangle herself from Shevesh. Damn that boy is strong. After a few minutes she decided she wouldn't be able to get up without waking him. "Hey Shevesh, Shevesh, get up." Didn't work, he must be tired. "HEY STUPID GET OFF!" she yelled.

"What, what's going on?" He said disoriented. "I want to get up and you're currently preventing that." Maria was laughing; he was very funny when confused. "Oh sorry." He said sheepishly and got up to go sleep in Percy's room.

Maria dressed in an old pair of skinny jeans, two blue and white tank tops, and black converse high tops and went down stairs.

She found staring at a newspaper called the Daily Prophet. "G'morning, what's the paper saying?" Maria asked. "Oh nothing." said halfheartedly. Shevesh came down and took the paper. "What the hell happened? I mean very dramatic title "Scenes of Terror at the Quididitch World Cup." Very catchy."

Maria's heart dropped the rest of the Weasleys where at the world cup. " I'm sure they're fine. Why don't you watch for them, I'll start breakfast." She offered. See they were thoughtful. "Oh all right, thank you dear."

She left the room as the twins started to make breakfast. A few minutes later they heard a cry from outside. The twins went outside.

"Oh thank goodness, thank goodness!" cried Mrs. Weasley, who had been waiting in the yard, started running to the group of people walking towards the house.

"Arthur—I've been so worried—so worried—"

She flung her arms around a man's neck. The twins assumed this was Mr. Weasley and smiled.

"You're all right," Mrs. Weasley muttered , releasing Mr. Weasley and staring at the rest of the group, "Your alive… oh boys…" she pulled two of

the boys into a such a tight hug that their heads banged together.

"Ouch Mum—you're strangling us—"

"I shouted at you before you left!" she started to sob. "It's all I've been thinking about!" What if You-Know-Who had gotten you, and the last

thing I said to you was that you didn't get enough O.W.L.'s? Oh Fred…George…"

"Come on, now, Molly, we're all perfectly ok," said Mr. Weasley soothingly, prizing her off Fred and George and leading her to the house. The twins followed and when everyone was crammed into the kitchen Maria continued to make breakfast while a girl with brown bushy hair made Mrs. Weasley a cup of tea. A guy Mr. Weasley had called Bill handed him the newspaper. He read as another guy Maria assumed was Percy read over his shoulders.

"I knew it," said Mr. Weasley heavily. "Ministry blunders…culprits not apprehended…lax security…Dark wizards running unchecked…national disgrace… Who wrote this? Ah… of course… Rita Skeeter."

"That woman has got it out for the Ministry of Magic!" Percy said furiously. "Last week she was saying we should stop quibbling about caldron thickness, when we should be stamping out vampires! As if it wasn't stated specifically in paragraph twelve in The Guidelines for the Treatment of Non-Wizard Part-Humans—"

"Do us a favor, Perce," said Bill, yawning, "and shut up." Everyone continued to talk.

"Hey I'm Fred and this is George. And who is this wonderful person making us breakfast?" Fred said noticing Maria. "Well I'm Maria and the kid over there is my twin Shevesh." Maria said. "More twins cool!" Fred and George said. "I don't think you should be happy Maria is here." Shevesh said. "Why?" George asked. "You'll find out." He said as he tried to dodge the eggs Maria through at him. Soon the youngest Weasley boy came down with his to friends and asked if they wanted to play Quididitch.

And that's how they spent the rest of their summer out in the orchard hanging out with the Weasleys.
