DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter, only my ideas. I don't own the song either. It is Brandi Carlile and the song is The Story.

"Thanks, Raine," Abby sighed, rolling her eyes at me. I giggled and hide my mouth with my hand. "We'll be down in a few minutes. We just need to freshen up." That just made me collapse into laughter. I crumpled to the floor, clutching my stomach and tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Okay. I don't know what the hell your problem is, Lestrange. But I don't think I want to either. Just make sure you two come down or my mum and your mum are going to have hissy fits. We remember the last time that happened, don't we?" Vondurri sneered, turning away and swinging her hips down the hall.
I looked at Abby with a huge smile spread across my face and just crashed into giggles again. She just smiled but didn't say a word. I stood up and smoothed my shirt down, knowing that if my shirt got wrinkled, my khakis had a crease on them or a smudge of dirt was on my shoes, I would get a slap across my face.
"Okay, let's go down. My aunt's going to kill me if I get down there late," I whispered, linking arms with her. A smile spread across her face again and she nodded. I knew that one thing, and only one would be able to cheer her up and that was singing. I opened my mouth and let the words flow out.
"All of these lines across my face tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am." She smiled and started to skip. I laughed and skipped along with her.

We were all sitting quietly at our seats, I beside Tristan and Abby, Vondurri and Abel across from us. The only noise was our relatives talking and the house elves feet pattering on the floor. All of a sudden Tristan started laughing and then snorting and then that got the rest of us laughing. We had tears running down our cheeks and all of the adults were just staring at us in disbelief.
"Wh-why did you st-start laughing?" I asked breathlessly. Tristan just shrugged and started to eat again. Abel pulled a rubber band off of his arm and shot it at me. It hit me square in the chest and it hurt! I felt my jaw drop and just gaped at him.
"You are going to get it!" I hissed, narrowing my eyes but letting a smile soften it up.
"I highly doubt it. You can't do anything to me!" he laughed, his green eyes sparkling. I scoffed and picked the rubber band up, snapping it back at him. Vondurri's eyes went from dark to laughing within a few seconds.
"How's that for doing nothing?" I sneered, crossing my arms and sticking my tongue out at him.
"How dare you shoot a rubber band at my brother?!" Vondurri asked with a smirk. Abel just rolled his eyes and shot the rubber band at Abby. It hit her in the forehead and her jaw dropped.
"What are you doing?!" She picked up the rubber band from her plate and shot it at Abel, missing and hitting Tristan instead. Tristan laughed and picked up the rubber band and shot it at the House Elf.
"Way to go, Riddle! You bloody well shot it at my relatives House Elf! Well done. Very well done!" Vondurri laughed, nodding her head and clapping sarcastically.
"Language, Vondurri. I don't want to be forced to shove my wrath down your throat," I sniggered, high-fiving Abby in the process.
"Like you could do anything to her," Abel laughed, winking at me. I felt my cheeks burn with anger at his comment.
"Children!" a tall woman screeched from the head of the table. "Could you not argue and just sit quietly? Please!" I ducked my head down and chanced a look at Tristan. He made a face and I started to laugh even harder.
"So much for quiet," Abby whispered, sending us all into laughter. I took a deep breath and then got a song in my head. Just my luck, right?
"But these stories don't mean anything when you've got no one to tell them to. It's true, I was made for you," I sang quietly, starting to pick at my food. "I climbed across the mountaintops travel across the ocean blue. I cross over lines and I broke all the rules and baby I broke them all for you."
Abby smiled and then started to sing along. "Oh, because even when I was flat broke you made me feel like a million bucks. You do, I was made for you. You see the smile that's on my mouth. It's hiding the words that don't come out. All of the friends who think that I'm blessed they don't know that I'm in this mess. No, they don't know who I really am and they don't know what I've been through. Like you do, and I was made for you."
I got up off of my chair and stood next to my seat with Abby. We started dancing and screaming the lyrics at the top of our lungs, not caring whether the adults were giving us death glares or not.
"All of these lines across my face tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am."
Vondurri finally joined in and started to dance with us. Abby shot her a glare, but didn't stop her singing.
"Oh, but these stories don't mean anything when you've got no one to tell them to. It's true, I was made for you. Oh yeah, and it's true that I was made for you."
Narcissa stood up as soon as we were done and glared at us. Mrs. Vondurri stood up as well and cleared her throat. We all sat down sheepishly and waited for her to say something. "Well, while this has been a fascinating dinner. I have announcement for you all," she said sweetly, her eyebrows raised and a smile on her face.
"What's she talking about?" I hissed to Vondurri.
"No idea!" she hissed back, sticking her tongue out and looking at her mother intently.
"We have decided to extend this visit through the weekend. We shall all be staying here at the Silverstones!" she said excitedly. I gaped at Abby who was gaping at her aunt.
What the hell were they trying to pull? Making us stay in one house together!
