Chapter 3

"How on earth did she escape McGonagall's full body bind?"
"Beats me but did you see her running? I bet she could outrun us all I could barely see her!"
"Well lucky Dad stunned her when he did other wise who knows were she'd be."
"I wonder who she is she's pretty hot."
"FRED! that's it all of you out!"
"Mooom come on." said George.
"I'm going to wake her up, upstairs all of you the poor things probably scared enough." Said Mrs. Weasley, sternly.
"but Mrs. Weasley what if she trys to run again? You might need our help McGonagall said she tried to pull a knife on her." Said Harry who was equally interested as to why Dumbledore insist this muggle girl come stay with the weasleys.
Mrs. Weasley tutted but didn't demand that they leave as she raised her wand and muttered the enchantment to wake the girl.
Lee awoke with a start and jumped up from the couch to find herself in a small living room, surrounded by many people, a surprising number with red hair.
"who the fuck are you people? And what the hell do you want with me!?!' she screamed.
The group starred at her in shock, and sfter a few silent minutes a small redhaired woman stepped forward. "I'm Molly Weasley and this is my family, and we have brought you here on the request of Albus Dumbledore."
Lee seemed to relax a little after finally getting some answers, but not quite. "Who the fuck is that? I don't know him!"
"he's the headmaster at Hogwarts," said a girl with bushy hair.
"That school thing again? No quit the bullshit I wanna know the truth."
"Were telling you the truth," said a darked haired boy with glasses.
Lee inhaled a deep breath and mentally tried to calm herself. She had seen a lot of weird things tonight but magic? "Prove it," she said starring at them suspicially.
After much convincing she agreed to sit on the couch while several of them pulled out sticks of wood and made amazing things happen with them. Lee continued just to stare in shock as the eldest red haired man sat down and began telling her of the world of magic.

The three boys quickly hopped in to a silver mustang parked at the end of the street that was Jamie's pride and joy. His dad had raced cars when he was a kid, and he was a natural at it. He had won this car in a street race the first week they arrived in London. Hurriedly turning the key, the car roared to life as Jamie threw his cellphone to Frank. "start the tractor," he said as he pushed the pedal to the floor, the cars tires squealing down the road.

"Well im going to start dinner you must be hungry," said kindly.
Lee couldn't find the effort to reply but just starred at the carpet trying to absorb what she had heard.
"Are you ok?" asked Fred.
Lee still didn't reply, the others began to worry that she might be in shock. Lee abruptly stood up "I need to go," she said calmly.
"uhh I don't think that's a good idea," said , "Albus should arrive some time after dinner to see you he can explain everything then."
"So this guy is finally going to tell me what all this has to do with me? Since you wont tell me," she said glaring at them reproachfully.
"Yes and then I see no reason why you can not leave the house, just wait for Dumbledore to arrive." he said in tone that said he fully understood her frustration.
"Fine but after I meet this guy I really have to leave," the guys can deal with out me for a couple more hours she thought I must know what this is all about
"Good lets eat then im starving!" said Ron running in to the kitchen.
"You'll have to forgive my brother after the tragic accident he hasn't been right in the head, we find that stuffing his face brings out some of his old perk." Fred said as he led her into the kitchen. Lee snorted with laughter.
"now that's more like it," Mrs. Weasley said looking on with approval. "now what you need is some food your skin and bones!" she said leading her to the table.
"I wouldn't just say skin and bones have you seen her as-" but Fred was quickly silenced with a look of pure poison from his mother. With one more warning look at the twin, Mrs. Weasley flicked her wand and dishes came flying from the counter on to the table.
Lee had never seen so much food in her life. Seated between Fred and Mrs. Weasley (Fred had jinxed Ron as he was going to sit down in the seat ,upon seeing this his mother quickly took the seat next to her giving Fred a dangerous look) she happily eat her way through the first course with Mrs. Weasley raving about how it was wonderful to see a girl with such a healthy appetite, while piling on second helpings. While she eat the others asked her questions for they seemed just as interested in her as she was them.
"So your American right?" asked Ron.
"No dumbass she's Dutch." George replied.
"George! Language! And in front of a guest!" said a shocked Mrs. Weasley.
"II don't think she cares did you hear her in the living room?"
"Its ok I don't and yea im American." said Lee through a mouthful of mashed potatoes.
"I love your accent," said the youngest girl Ginny, who hadn't yet spoken to Lee.
"Thanks its weird though cuz I think you guys have the accent not me,"
"Wow I never thought about that, but I supposed we must sound different to you," said Hermione.
"So whats with the name? You don't look Chinese." Fred said eyeing her tall stature and long curly auburn hair.
"its just what my mom named me," she said with a shrug.
"So were are your parents?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
Lee began stuffing her face with food so fast no one could understand what she said next, and everyone was relieved when someone changed the conversation.
"So how long have you been here?" asked Harry
"We got here a couple weeks ago."
"We? Dumbledore said you were living with others, were are they?" asked .
"We? I meant to say me, I live by myself," she said firmly, the others exchange glances but didn't question her further.
Some time in to the second course there came the distant sound of an engine. "Whats that?" said Harry, "You think Hagrids come back?"
Upon listening to the noise Lee stiffened, she'd know that motor anywhere, it was the mustang. They did not! Those idiots! How did they find me!
