This is my first Harry Potter FanFic and I've wanted to do it for a while because I just love the relationship of the Weasley family. This takes place in OOTP a month before harry joins the Weasley's at headquarters and also set the story so that they are still at the Burrow.
P.S. Thanks Abby for getting my those Harry Potter books, I love them
Read and Review
Ginny Weasley scurried through her room picking up her scattered clothes and shoving them underneath her bed, in her closet and above her wardrobe. Her eldest brother Bill was coming home today from Egypt to work in England to help with the Order. Her mother had told them all to clean their rooms, which they had complained loudly about, seeing as Bill had lived in the Burrow for over 18 years before he had moved to Egypt, and wouldn't mind the mess, but here she was cleaning.
When she thought her room looked satisfactory she started down the crooked and creaking steps and found only her mother in the kitchen. With a flick of her wand her mother sent a pan laden with cookies into the oven and a knife started chopping vegetables. "Ginny dear, could you make sure your brothers are cleaning their rooms?"
"Sure mom." Ginny said heading up the stairs again. As she approached the first door which had numerous blackened burn spots, a loud bang sounded followed by muffled explanations. Ginny cautiously opened the door to the twin's bedroom, and found her brothers on their rears on either side of the room.
"That definitely didn't work." Said George, grudgingly getting up from the floor and dusting himself off.
"Ya," George agreed, "way too much bang."
"What are you guys doing?" Ginny asked form her place at the door. The twins turned identical surprised faces towards her, evidently their ears had been too clogged by the explosion to hear her enter.
"Nothing!" They both said at once gathering up strange instruments. Ginny raised a sceptical eyebrow.
"Bill's going to be here in an hour so I suggest you guys start cleaning your room." With that she started up the stairs again past Percy's room which now stood empty and vacant.
Jerk! Ginny thought, her face flushing with anger while she recalled the fight Percy had had with their father a few weeks previous. She for one was glad to be rid of the constant pestering and grouchiness of her third eldest brother.
She walked past Bill and Charlie's old room which had been a haven of sorts when she was younger. Bill had always been a shoulder to cry on when she was fed up with the twins bothering her and to her, had been the perfect big brother, especially when he had given the twins a taste of their own medicine.
At the age of seven it had been hard for her to see Bill leave; she had been mad at him and hadn't even written back to him during the first few months. Now she saw it different, Ginny knew that her brother had needed to escape his responsibility as the eldest brother and grow on his own.
She met Ron coming down the stairs. "finished?" She asked. Ron nodded.
Molly, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny were all lounging in the living space waiting in silence. The only sound heard was the soft clinking of the knitting needles in the corner of the room.
Suddenly the grandfather clock on the wall made a small shifting sound as the arm that red Bill went to Traveling and a second later they heard a thunderous sound of an Apparition and the arm clicked into place at Home.
They all stood silent as a slow smile spread across their mother's face, the door opened and there stood Ginny's eldest brother William Arthur Weasley. "Bill!" Their mother cried tears streaming down her face as she embraced her son even though she had declared that she wasn't going to cry only a few moments ago. "You're too thin." She declared flatly, "are they not feeding you in Egypt, and look at your hair!" Mrs. Weasley complained. Bill laughed and gave the twins each a tight hug and came face to face with Ginny.
Bill looked much different since the last time Ginny had seen him. His long hair had now become even longer and he sported and fang earring that hung just below his jaw. He looked far more tanned which had a queer yet interesting look. "Don't I get a hug?" Bill declared with a mock hurt tone. Ginny threw her arms around Bill's neck held on to him tightly. Bill laughed and returned her hug. "Well, this is a nice homecoming."
The First chapter's super short but I want to see what kind of response I get with my Harry Potter writing because my specialty is Lord of the Rings. Almost complete opposites.
Review! Should I continue?
