Chapter 42: A Surprise

The car stopped and the engine turned off. They were here. Harry got out of the car followed by Ginny and Harry went to get the luggage out while Ginny helped everyone out of the car. James got out first, followed by Ash and then followed by Sid and Rhea. Ginny closed the door behind them and then opened the next door where Albus, Hugo, Rose and Lily were. Harry took all of the luggage out and once everyone was sorted, Ginny got the keys out and unlocked the door and opened the door and let everyone in. Ash walked into the room behind James and she entered the room and looked around. There was a rosy smell in the air and the place was really nice, there was a golden clock near the fireplace which automatically lit when they were all in the room, the lights turned on and the place had a cosy feeling.

'All of you can decide which room you want to sleep in, I'll get something to eat for everyone' Smiled Ginny

'And I'll help!' Harry said taking his jacket off

Harry and Ginny left the room and everyone left their luggage at the side and they sat down on the sofa together.

'So where does everyone want to sleep?' Asked Albus

'Don't mind to be honest' Smiled Sid

'I want to be in my room' Lily shouted

'You always want to be in your room, fine Lily and Albus will be in Lily's room?' James said

'Fine!' Albus sighed

'You know you can say no…' James looked at Albus

'But where else would I sleep?' Albus asked

'Sleep in the garden, the gnomes will get you' James laughed

'Albus, just sleep with Lily it wont make a difference' Rose said

'Can Rose be in my room pleeeaaaseee?' Lily shouted

'Okay fine whatever, then Albus can be with Hugo in Albus' room' Smiled James

'I'll be with Sid!' Rhea said

'Okay then, maybe if you want, in my room it'll be me, you, Ash and Sid okay?' James said

'Perfect!' Smiled Ash

'Anything's perfect when its to do with James' Albus whispered under his breath

'What?' Ash said

'Nothing!' Smiled Albus

'So its Hugo and Albus, Lily and Rose, Ash, Me, Rhea and Sid in the rooms okay?' James smiled

Everyone agreed and then waited for Harry and Ginny to bring in some snacks. While they were eating, Ash asked 'When are all the parents getting here then?'

'Well… They should be getting here by this evening, before dinner' Smiled Ginny

'Oh that's good, is anyone else supposed to be coming?' Replied Ash

'Well, Fred's coming over soon… Should be coming in a few minutes' Smiled Harry

'OH MY GOD FRED' James was clearly excited

'Thank you for the interruption James… And I think others are coming but that's for the Christmas party, so at Christmas there may be some surprise guests' Smiled Harry

Ash nodded and then looked down and started having some snacks like everyone else..

'Woah these are really nice' Rhea said

'Thanks' Laughed Ginny

'So have you all chosen your rooms?' Ginny asked

Everyone nodded.

'Where's everyone sleeping then?' Harry asked

Just as about they were going to reply, there was a knock on the door, Ginny stood up to go and she opened the door and then as soon as the door fully opened, a rather tall guy stood there holding a suitcase and smiled! His hair was ginger and was quite good looking.

'HEEYY!' He hugged Ginny and brought his luggage in and Ginny of course greeted him and closed the door behind him

'Uncle Hazza!' The guy laughed

'Freddie!' Harry laughed and hugged Fred

'Haven't seen all of you in ages, and oh look we have guests' Fred grinned at Ash

'Albus! Where are you? COME TO ME!' Fred commanded

Albus laughed and walked up to Fred and Fred smiled and shook hands.

'Someone's grown since last year' Smiled Fred

'More like someone's shrunk since last year…' Albus laughed

Fred laughed and then Lily came running and she hugged him.

'Lily! Haven't seen you in ages too!' Smiled Fred

'I know, God knows how long it's been' Smiled Lily

Lily went away to Rose again and then Fred turned to James.

'Jamesy!' Fred laughed

'Don't call me that!' James got up

Fred laughed and then hugged James as an excuse to whisper something in his ear.

'Who are the girls eh?' Fred whispered

'No one… Why?' James was confused

'If their no one what are they doing here?' Fred whispered back

'Their just friends!' James smiled

'Sure! I'm gonna try talking to them' Fred let go of James and approached Rhea

'Well hello there young lady' Fred smiled and held out his hand

'I'm a vampire and I'm not afraid to eat your blood' Rhea threatened him

'Woah… Calm down Miss…?' Fred stopped

'Miss Noneofyourbusiness' Rhea smiled

'Someone's getting a little hot in here' Fred tried flirting

'Urm… Fred' James stopped Fred

'What?' Fred whispered

'Her boyfriend is the one sitting next to her' James whispered

'OH' Fred's eyes widened and then he went up to Rhea again

'Sorry… I was joking, you can ask James and Albus or Lily, I always do that' Fred laughed

'It's alright' Smiled Rhea 'I'm Rhea'

'Nice to meet you Rhea, I'm Fred!' Fred and Rhea shook hands

'Is Roxanne coming?' Asked Lily

'Nope, she's a little ill you see…' Sighed Fred and turned to Sid

'Hey, we cool? I'm sorry I didn't mean to 'make a move' on your girlfriend' Smiled Fred holding his hand out

'You better not make another move, otherwise I will personally put you through a shredder' Sid threatened

'Woaaah!' Fred was worried

'I'm serious, but yeah we cool' Smiled Sid and Fred and Sid shook hands

Fred walked up to Ash lastly and looked down at her sitting and she looked up and blinked her eyes a few times as she was a little nervous.

'Hey there, I'm Fred, how you doing?' Fred held out his hand and smiled

'I'm good thanks, and I'm Ash' Ash shook Fred's hand

'Nice to meet you Ash' Smiled Fred as he looked at her, still

'Urmmm… Fred' James pulled Fred back

James took Fred into the kitchen and then Fred laughed.

'What's the matter now?' Smiled Fred

'Don't you dare try flirting with Ash' James pointed at Fred

'WHY?' Fred 's eyes widened

'Because… Well promise not to tell anyone' James sighed

'I promise not to tell anyone that you fancy Ash and you really want to ask her out okay?' Fred smiled

'How did you know?' James asked

'ONLY AN IDIOT WOULDN'T KNOW JAMESY BOY' Fred laughed

'DON'T YOU DARE TELL ASH!' James pointed at Fred

'Tell Ash what?' James turned and Ginny was there

'Oh nothing Mum…' James sighed and smiled nervously

'Don't lie to me James Potter, I heard everything' Ginny smiled

'Oh…' James blushed

'AHAHAHAH JAMESY IS BLUSHING' Fred laughed

'Fred go inside…' Ginny said and Fred left, Ginny went up to James

'Don't worry, I think if you want the best advice you should go ask your dad, he had all the girls following him at one point' Smiled Ginny

'I have to tell Dad then?' James sighed

'Well one day you'll have to tell everyone' Ginny laughed 'Now go back in and I'll come in with the drinks'

James nodded and went back into the room where he saw Fred took his space and was sitting next to Ash and Ash and Fred were laughing. James sighed and then got a chair and then sat in the corner, Ash saw him and looked and mouthed 'Come here' but he sighed but smiled and shook his head… Ash excused her from Fred and went to James and then sat on the floor next to him so then they could talk.

'So will you now tell me where everyone is sleeping?' Harry asked

'Well, in Lily's room there is Lily and Rose, in Albus' there is Albus and Hugo and-' Fred interrupted James

'OH MY GOSH BOYS NIGHT IN WOOOOOOOOOOO' Fred laughed

'Now, now calm down' Rhea said under her breath

'You calm down Miss Vampire' Fred sighed

'As I was saying… Me, Ash, Rhea and Sid will be in my room with the two double beds' Smiled James

'What? You and Ash going to be in the same bed?' Fred smiled

'Yeah we are because that's the only way!' James said

Fred snorted and then started laughing his head off.

'YOU…. ASH…. OH MY…. AHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. BED' Fred couldn't speak properly but you could get at what he was thinking

'You are so dirty minded!' James shouted

'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH… JAMESY BOYS… ASH… AHAHAHA… BED!' Fred was still talking rubbish

'Fred… SERIOUSLY STOP' Ash shouted and then everyone burst out laughing

This was a good start for all of them, but what they didn't know about what was going to happen tonight…
