The next morning I woke to complete silence. Moments like this were rare during the annual Weasley summer holiday, so I decided to take advantage of it. I quietly went down the bunk ladder, careful not to wake my sleeping cousins. I tiptoed out of the tent and through The Burrow's backdoor. Nana was at the stove making breakfast.

"Good mornin Rose, you're up early."

"Morning Nana, that smells delicious! What are you making?"

"Oh nothing special, I'm just throwing together some eggs and toast." but she smiled to herself as she continued making the eggs. "Jack and Perry should be coming soon this morning. And Teddy sent an owl saying they won't arrive until late afternoon."

Those four were the only cousins who had not arrived yet. Jack and Perry Dursley were actually only related to the Potters. Their dad was cousins with Uncle Harry, but we still considered them part of the family. When Jack first found out he was a wizard, we all really took him under our wing. His whole family hated magic, and in fact he didn't even know it existed until he got his Hogwarts letter.

I wandered into the sitting room where Molly was curled up on the couch with a book.

"Good morning Molly, how are you?" I never really get to talk with Molly. When she turned 17 she decided she was too old for us, and didn't really hang out with us anymore.

"I'm fine Rose, how are you? How was school?"

"I'm glad the hardest part is over. My dad said that fifth year is the most strenuous."

"Well he is right. I do hope that you worked hard, have you gotten you OWLs back yet? Of course you haven't, you probably won't get them until August. I'm sure you did very well though. Still top of your class right? I have always been very impressed with how hard you work at school, unlike our other cousins. Besides Lily, she's very skilled as well. If only Lucy was as focused on school as Lily..."

Molly tended to have one-sided conversations when talking one on one. It got quite annoying.

"What are you reading?" I interjected.

"Oh I'm just rereading Famous Witches through the ages. It's always a good read, and so inspiring. Of course your mother appears in this book, along with Luna and Aunt Ginny. I already know so much about them so it isn't very fun to read, but my favorite story is-"

Lucky for me, Jack came tumbling out of the fireplace rescuing me from Molly's non-stop talking.

"Oof-ello Rose, Molly."

"Morning Jack, isn't it a little early for you to be up? I expect it from Perry, but you usually aren't up until at least 10:30."

Jack stepped out the fireplace, and removed his shoes so soot wouldn't get on Nana's carpet. "Dad and Mum had to work today, and wanted to see us off."

Perry barreled through the fireplace moments later. Perry, who was 13, was buzzing with excitement. "Morning Rose! Molly!"

I laughed, "Good morning Per, you seem excited."

Nana Weasley came in from the kitchen. "Oh hello boys, I thought I heard you in here. Have you already had breakfast?"

I went into the kitchen with the boys while they ate their food.

"How has your summer been so far boys?"

Jack swallowed his toast. "It's been alright. Pretty boring actually. Went to work with Dad once at the bank, but it's so boring compared to Gringotts. I told Dad that they should get a dragon to guard the safes."

I laughed, Uncle Dudley was fascinated with Gringotts. When the Dursleys came to The Burrow for the first time, we were all surprised at how he became fast friends with Bill. He was always asking Bill questions about Gringotts and how it worked.

As the hour went by, more and more of the cousins walked sleepy-eyed into the kitchen to eat breakfast. Soon it was crowded, and Nana suggested that some of us should walk to town to pick up some stuff for her. Simple stuff like more yarn and some groceries. Sarah, Roxy, Dom, and I volunteered to go.

"I'll go see if the boys want to go with us," I said. James and Fred were still sleeping. I marched across into the tent.

"Go away." muttered James as I pulled open the flap.

"You don't even know what I'm going to ask."

"I don't care because it most likely involves me getting up."

I side stepped over the pile of clothes the boys left on the floor. It's been one day and they've already trashed the tent.

"We're are going to walk to town to get some stuff for Nana, do you wanna come?"

Fred shot up. "YEs I mean...yeah I'll go."

James rolled over on his bed. "Dude you realize the chances you run into that girl is slim."

I raised my eyebrows.

Fred glared at me. "Shut up Rosie."

"I didn't say anything. I'm still judging you silently, but I'm not saying anything."

James swung his feet over the side of the bed. "Come on lover boy, let's go to town."

...

Walking through muggle towns were always interesting. I lived in Godric's Hallow where many muggles lived and so did James so it never phased us. Sarah actually lived in London with her parents who were both muggles. The rest of our family was a different story. Fred and Roxy were always so intrigued by the simplicity of the muggle lifestyle. Dom was both appalled and fascinated.

"Rose did you see the girl? What is she wearing? I can't decide if I like it or not?"

James rolled his eyes. "I think we'll leave you guys to pick up Nana's stuff. Come on Fred, let's go."

We stopped by the craft store and bought some yarn and Dom bought some glitter and ribbons. She was the queen of wizarding DIY. Next we headed to the grocery store.

We walked quickly through the aisles picking up odds and ends as we went along. As we walked through the beauty product aisle, Dom was disgusted.

"So muggle hair products don't keep your hair in the whole day? And they don't have any eye shadow that changes to match your outfit?"

"Shocking isn't it?" I asked sarcastically, "Now where do you think is the baking powder aisle?" I looked around for a sign for the baking supplies, but couldn't see one.

"Can I help you ladies?"

We all turned around to see a gorgeous guy smiling at us.

"Yeah," Sarah said, "We are looking for the baking powder."

I glanced at Dom who was hanging onto this guy's every word. "The baking supplies are in aisle seven. I don't think I've seen you guys around here before, are you in town visiting?"

"We are staying at our grandparents for the week. I'm Rose, these are my cousins Roxy and Dominique, and our friend Sarah."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Will."

Dom seemed to snap out of her trance. "How about you guys go get the butter, and Will here can show me where the baking powder is?

Roxy snorted at her less than subtle hint to go away. "Sure Dom, meet you up front, " I said. Dom took Will's arm and they left for aisle seven.

"Wow," said Roxy, "Who would of thought Dom would have a crush on a muggle boy?"

"I think that it's cute," said Sarah.

We went and got the butter and then waited at the front for Dom. We waited about five minutes until she appeared giggling at something Will said.

"Well, Dominique is was a pleasure to meet you," he gave a deep bow.

Dom giggled again. "Maybe we can do something together this week?"

Will smiled. "I'd love too." He turned around and disappeared down the aisles. Dom watched lovingly after him. We all stared at her.

"What?" she asked when she finally looked at us.

"Oh nothing," I said, "I just haven't seen you that hardcore crushing on a guy since...ever."

Dom shrugged, "He's cute."

We checked out the groceries and went to find James and Fred. Finally we saw James through the window of a coffee shop.

"What are you doing, you hate coffee," I said when I walked through the doors. James was sitting at a table alone doing a crossword with a frappe in his hand.

James set down his cup. "We aren't here for the coffee. We are here for her." He gestured to the front counter where Fred was in deep conversation with the barista. She had a pretty face and long dirty blond hair pulled back in a ponytail.

Fred leaned against the counter and said something that made the girl throw her head back with laughter. Roxy threw her hands up in the air. "First Dom, now Fred why is everyone crushing on muggles!" I quickly clamped my hand over her mouth. Fred and the girl both turned to look at us.

Dom strode up to the counter. "Hi, Can I get a tall Iced Latte?" The girl went and got Dom's drink, and we all smirked at Fred. He gave us a death stare. She came back and Dom paid. "Thank you," said Dom," Freddy we are heading back, you coming?"

"Yeah I suppose," said Fred, "I'll see you later?"

The girl smiled and nodded, and then gave the rest of us a curious look.

We didn't bug him the walk home, but as soon as we walked into the house, Roxy sang out "Freddy's got a girlfriend!"

"I do not!"

"Do too! What's her name?"

Fred blushed. "Her name is Charlotte. She's not my girlfriend, this is only the second time I've met her. It's not like it will turn into a relationship, I never get to see her."

"It better be going somewhere," said James," I spent four dollars on a drink that I hate. But what was it you said about Dom, Roxy?"

Now Dom was blushing. "It's nothing. Just a cute boy I met."

"Jeez," said Al, "I missed out."

"Yeah Al," said James slapping him on the back, "I bet you would of found a nice girlfriend."

Al just laughed. But when I turned to Sarah she was not laughing. In fact there were some tears welling up in her eyes.

I'm am so sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I've been super busy but I hope I get more time so I can write faster. The next chapter will focus on Albus and Sarah! Unfortunately Scorp won't appear until the chapter after. Thanks for reading, love you all!
