New Years at the Burrow
Author's Note: Thank you all who have reviewed so far.
For you who are critical about the ages, about Apaula (she was actually the second child. Poor Luna had a miscarriage, cause if Dumbledore was gay there can be miscarriages) and how Victorice (was born in like May, whatever) has two siblings, seriously I think I have enough characters. To the wrong wives, Charlie/no one and George and Angelina (but Fred went out with Angelina so I thought it should be George/Alicia) it's my fanfiction. And to everything else, it's a fanFICTION. Also if it was total canon, I'd be plagiarizing.
I'm also waiting for someone to comment on Macneville's name. If anyone gets how I came up with that, please guess, The hint is Mackenzie.
Also thank you to Mystery Hunter, such a loyal Time at the Burrow reviewer.
Summery: Little Rose and Hugo have just gotten another cousin, Monica, and it's now New Years and the kids are running wild. What are Ron and Hermione to do?
Disclaimer: It's a fanfiction, I'm the fan and this is the fiction.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Hello People
Rose woke up and rubbed her eyes. She took a glance at the sparkly yellow calendar on her wall. It was the 29th, two days to New Years Eve when her mum was planning to have everyone over to count down to the New Year. The very day when all order would go out the window, Rose had seen the whole family together only once, and that was without Uncle Neville and Auntie Luna or Teddy. She was four and they spent three days cleaning up. And since they now had Fred and Angelina, not to mention a teen Teddy and much more prank savvy James, who knows?
Rose walked downstairs and saw her grandma making breakfast.
Rose walked over and asked her grandma, "Grandma, do you know that we're having everyone over for New Years?"
Molly flipped a couple pancakes and piled them on the plate beside her, "Yes I do Rosie. Isn't it wonderful?"
Rose shrugged and took a plate of pancakes to the table. Her brother and father soon joined when they smelt the aroma of frying batter, those two sure loved their food. Hermione and Mr. Weasley came a little while after them and sat down to the food being piled on the table. Hermione sat down next to her daughter and Mrs. Weasley (Senior) came over with a large pat of butter. Rose noticed her father's eyes light up at the sight of more food. According to her mother Ron had once gone months without Grandma's cooking and since then he had never had the same appetite. Rose wondered as she stared at the 12th pancake her father consumed, how big was his previous appetite?
While Rose was drinking a glass of orange juice (she had grown fond of it, even though it was predominantly a muggle drink) she heard a tap on the window. Hugo heard it as well and looked towards the window. There on the sill was a tawny barn owl with shiny feathers and keen amber eyes. To his left was a smaller grey owl with rather fluffy feathers and cute sparkling blue eyes. The talon's of the tawny were clicking impatiently as she waited for someone to open the window. Hermione heard the tapping as well and got up to open the window.
It opened with a small click and in the two birds flew. The tawny alighted on the specially placed owl perch. The grey on the other hand flew right into Ron and started hooting happily while Ron glared at the owl on his head. Hugo laughed as the tawny owl stuck it's leg out.
The letter was from Ginny, whose tawny owl Cinnamon had delivered the letter. Hermione opened it and read it aloud.
"Dear Hermione and Ron,
Thank you so much for the invitation to New Years, we'd love to come! In fact Harry had just told me we should let the children stay up this year, so they'll get a lot more out of it. So if we come back to the Borrow they can see everyone and celebrate this wonderful event. When I told they children they were literally flying around the room (Harry just had to get Albus and James Firebolt 4s for Christmas, not to mention the toy broomstick Ron sent Lily). Lily has already planned out every single little New Years game she's going to play with her cousins and I suspect James and Albus are going to plan some mischief with Teddy. Yes Teddy told us to tell you he could come. So anyway, see you on New Years!
With Love, Ginny."
The other owl was none other than the adorable Pig. He had a small green roll attached to his leg, which upon removal, unfurled itself to reveal it was in fact a leaf from a Japanese talking tree. Rose and Hugo looked at it surprised, each and every time Auntie Luna and Uncle Neville sent them a letter through Pig it was always more extraordinary than the last. In previous letters it had been attached to a small violet cactus, spat from an ivy stem or written on the petals of a Grecian Wild Rose.
The leaf sat on Hermione's hand quivering slightly until it popped up and grew a pair of arms and legs and formed a mouth. Mrs. Weasley shrieked in surprise as it started to speak in Neville's voice.
"Hello Ron, Hermione,
First of all Luna and I would like to thank you for inviting us to New Years, the children are ecstatic about it. Well Apaula and Sarai are, MacNeville and Stephanie are still too young to be that happy. Anyway do we have to bring anything? Luna was wondering because if it turns out we should have brought a pie or something, she might dye her hair blue. Actually, she already has. So please don't be alarmed. I though I should warn you.
Who else is coming? I know you would have invited Harry and Ginny but is only us wonderful six? You don't have to answer. I just want to show off the capabilities of this leaf. It's really something isn't it? I got an entire talking tree for the greenhouses and I wanted to show it off. Oh but you wouldn't know about these greenhouses would you? Well recently Professor Sprout got a pretty bad bite from the Venomous Tentacurla and she decided it would be good to retire after 65 years in teaching Herbology. And who do you think she recommend to replace her? Me! Yes, you are listening to the voice of the new Herbology professor. I'll be replacing her in February, which means no more small time garden work.
Well I don't want to waste anymore of your precious planning time, See you in two days!
Luna sends love from her and the children.
And the leaf sat silent.
Hugo poked it, and exclaimed "Cool." Ron laughed and picked up his son and whisked him off to brush his teeth. Hermione flicked her wand to make a note that the Longbottoms and Potters were coming, and then swept the leaf into the garbage bin. Rose on the other hand looked at the note pad her mother's wand had checked. She giggled and immediately made a mental note to stay out of the way as much as possible, maybe playing with Apaula but she wasn't getting stuck with Hugo's dish duty.
OoOoOoO
Hermione and Ron forever! Go Harry and Ginny! And go non-canon Luna/Neville!
That's all I have to say.
