Normally if your Grandmother dies you're meant to be in heaps of tears, which would be in a normal family of a normal world, but I'm not normal am I? You see my mother and her mother never got on. After Mum got her Hogwarts acceptance letter she 'freaked out' so to say and basically disowned her so me and Susan didn't really know her that well but when mum got the letter to say she had died she shouted us down stair and engulfed us in the biggest hug we had ever had in our lives "aren't you meant to be crying?" asked Susan slightly perplexed
"Crying?!" my mother exclaimed "crying with joy maybe! She left us her whole life savings!" my eyes widened in shock and I snatched the letter from her
"How much!" I exclaimed then looked at the total. "Bloody hell we're rich!" I laughed
"Georgie! have a little respect some one just died!" Susan smacked me on the back of the head and I glared at her "anyway, maybe mum can actually go out and meet some one" Susan smirked and I rolled my eyes
"She did meet people, that weren't very nice if you remember!" I told her remember the past boyfriends that had come and gone in our lives so frequently
"I mean a stable Relationship Georgia!" Susan replied, I scoffed at this
"Like you can talk! Didn't you dump that Charles Davis last week?" I asked her "this is probably your record for not having a boyfriend!" Susan waked me over the head and hissed
"Shut up!"
"No your dad was always the one for me" she said looking at me which I found odd since me and Susan had the same dad. "Come on then you best get packed both of you" she told us "you" she nodded at Susan "you are going to Janey's house and you" she nodded to me "are going to the Weasley in less than an hour so hurry up!" me and Susan scattered off to pack our things and i have to say, I think we now hold the record for packing bags in under ten minutes. Oh! I remembered I need to write to Hermione! I quickly got a quill and ink out and began to write.
Dear Hermione
Hello! Sorry it's been a while how are you? I'm fine I got a letter today saying my grandmother had died, She was the one that didn't like mum because of her magic. Do you remember me telling you? Anyway it came as a huge shock to all of us when she left us her whole life savings! And believe me when I say she was loaded, it's funny when little things like this happen isn't it? I guess she always had that regret of disowning her only child for such a petty thing. I need to go but I will speak to you soon, I cant wait to see you again!
With Love
Georgie xx
"Georgia!" My mum shouted "we're leaving!" I would get Ron's owl to send the letter to Hermione. I swiftly shut my truck with a thud making sure the letter was carefully inside then carried it down the stairs
"Finally I thought you'd died up there!" Susan drawled but I chose to ignore her by walked past her and out the door to put my trunk in the boot of the car, Susan had gotten a little bit more sassy over the weeks hasn't she? not that I can really speak though to be quite honest. We sat in the car and began to drive to the first stop-Janey's House- in a comfortable silence.
"Catherine, Georgia! Good to see you!" Mrs Weasley said as I heaved my trunk out the car "no Susan?" she asked my mum shook her head
"No, no she is staying at her friend Janey's house, you know Meredith's daughter" my Mother chatted making me sigh: this could go on for a while I thought so I decided to step in "is Ron here?" I asked Mrs Weasley
"oh yes him and Harry are in the back garden" my eyes widened in joy at the mention of Harry's name
"Harry?" I repeated.
"yes now go see them their missing you!" Mrs Weasley urged me so I nodded and ran through the gate to see the boys engaged in a game of Quidditch. Suddenly Fred hit the ball in my direction without noticing (they hadn't noticed I was there yet) It kept going and going before it landed by my feet
"where did it go?" I heard Ron ask, I picked up the ball and smirked a the all looked around the sky.
"Looking for something?" I called to them and their heads snapped in my direction. Harry and Ron beamed at me and hopped off their brooms to run over to me
"Georgia!" Ron exclaimed as the both tackled me with a bone crushing hug I laughed at their happiness
"we haven't seen you for ages!" Harry said brightly as he pulled back.
"one hundred days to be exact" I smiled then added "not that I was counting" We all shared a cheeky grin before Ron suggest going inside for breakfast.
We were all eating breakfast that morning "Morning Weasley's!" Arthur said cheerily which was responded by dreary 'morning dad's
"Good morning Mr Weasley" I said politely smiling
"Why good morning Georgia how lovely-Good lord, is that really Mr Potter I see there" I sighed as I knew when Harry was in the room I would never get a full conversation with him, not that I was complaining really but still it's nice to have a conversation that isn't interrupted by your famous best friend-as much as I love him-. Ginny suddenly came down the stairs looking a tad flustered "Mummy! mummy have you seen my jumper?" she asked frantically
"Yes dear it was on the cat" answered her mother, when Ginny saw harry she went wide eyed
"hello!" he said nicely and she ran upstairs in a hurry, I tried to contain my laugh mainly because I was eating and it's rude to talk-laugh- with your mouthful, "what?, what did I do?" asked harry
"its Ginny she's bin talking about you all summer, dead annoying really" sighed Ron All of a sudden there was a big bang on the window which made me jump "Came down Georgie it was only Errol with the post" Ron sniggered I sent him an evil glare
"Sorry if I'm not used to clumsy owl's flying into windows late in the morning!" I snapped causing molly to chuckle
"Just like her father" I heard her mutter but chose to ignore it, as I don't think it was meant to be heard. My mum was also there if I forgot to mention but she spent a lot of time talking to Molly "Now I thought first we could go to the book shop to get our books out the way" Mrs Weasley explained to mum, who listen to where molly planned for us to go.
"Perfect!" my mother said as Mrs Weasley Finished and put her hands on my shoulders "Now" she started "you must be Ron and harry then?" she said smiling at the boys. They nodded "you've been keeping my Georgia in line" we all snorted
"Other way round mum!" I laughed "if it wasn't for me I bet Ron wouldn't have go half the mark he got in his exams last year" I said proudly but I heard Ron scoff,
"Hardly" he muttered but again I chose to ignore it.
"Now we shall travel by floo powder" Molly announced Harry's face twisted in confusion
"Floo powder?" Harry asked
"Harry's never travelled by Floo Powder mum" Ron told his mother,
"Ah not to worry do you and Georgia want to go first then Ron?" I nodded and pulled Ron along with me. He took a handful of Floo Powder and said "Diagon Alley" clearly and we were engulfed by green flames, I tumbled out the fireplace with Ron only to bump into a girl with rather curly, long hair
"Georgia?" I heard the girl say
"Hermione!" I squealed and hugged her after moving out the way as everyone came through the fireplace "I am so sorry I didn't reply to you letter I was going to send it today because I didn't think I would see you" I said quite quickly. She laughed
"I'm so happy to see you! I don't mind about the letter I'm talking to you now! Silly" she said "Where's Harry?" she asked and it was only then I noticed he wasn't there
"I-I don't know" I said dumbly wow Georgie you are so smart! I walked over to Ron who was skimming through a few books on the table "Ron! Where is Harry?" I asked him hoping he would know the answer but all I got was a shocked expression
"I thought he was with you!" he said I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Me and Hermione will look for him" I said as he nodded before I walked off to find Hermione again, That boy must just be a magnet for trouble! I stepped out of the shop and me and Hermione looked in a few other shops before we saw Harry and Hagrid "Harry!" I almost screamed before almost flattened him with a hug "where where you?" I asked as I let go
"Everyone's been so worried!" Hermione exclaimed
"I leave you to it then" Hagrid said to harry and then walked off
"Come on!" I said and pulled Harry along by the hand into Flourish and Bolts (I think that's what it's called) to find Gildaroy Lockhart. The single most wonderful person in the world! Myself and Hermione looked dazzled. A news reported pushed me into Harry and Ron when he tried to get a picture for the daily profit "good lord is it really, Harry potter" Said Lockhart
"Harry potter!" exclaimed the reporter and grabbed harry and pushed him to the front
"Why I bet my young friend Harry here stepped in to Flourish and Blotts thinking it was going to be a nice day to buy my latest addition of 'magical me'" I sighed at the sound of his dreamy voice "He didn't know he would be leaving with my entire works, free of charge!" everyone clapped at his generosity and Mrs Weasley took the books to get them signed. I thought my day was going to be lovely till Draco Malfoy turned up "bet you loved that didn't you potter!, famous harry potter!, can't even go into a book shop without making the front page!" god he sounded so jealous!, the annoying Pratt!
"Leave him alone" growled Ginny
"Oh look potter you got yourself a girlfriend!" sneered Malfoy; it was then a sliver serpent head clamped down on his shoulder.
"Now, now Draco play nicely" said an arrogant voice this man was Lucius Malfoy; Draco's father which really didn't surprise me!. He gasped "Ah Mr Potter, Forgive me" he said and grabbed Harry to look at his scar "your scar is legend, as of course is the wizard who gave it to you" he looked down at harry.
"Voldemort killed my parents" glared Harry, "he is nothing more than a murderer." He finished.
"You must be very brave to say his name...Or very foolish"
"Fear of a name only conjures fear of the thing itself" Hermione said while glaring daggers into the man's forehead
"Ah! And you must be, Miss Granger" he said "Yes Draco's told me all about you… and your Parents" he paused "Muggles". I had had quite enough of Lucius's horrible remarks
"Well Hermione happens to be a better wizard than Draco will ever be, so I would stop pulling that face it I was you" I spat a bit snottily "if the wind changes it will stay like that and your face is bad enough already" 'stupid, stupid girl!' my mind was saying, see! oh no! you wont like it when Georgia has her sassy mode on! He was about to retort when Mr Weasley appeared from the huge crowd behind us. "Children! Its mad in here!, let's go outside!" he was smiling till he saw Lucius Malfoy "Ah Weasley Senior" he said cockily
"Lucius" he said gruffly.
"It must be tiring" he said "at the ministry with all those extra raids, I do hope they pay you over time" he almost whispered "but" he added picking up a book from Ginny's cauldron and examined it "judging by the state of this, clearly not" he said snidely "what's the use of being the disgrace of wizards, if they don't even pay you for it?"
"well we have a very different view on what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy" retorted Mr Weasley
"Clearly" scoffed Mr Malfoy "Associating with Muggle's he placed Ginny's book and curiously another book, back in her cauldron "And I thought your family could sink no lower" he glared at me one last time and then back at Mr Weasley. "I'll see you at work" he spat then walked out,
"see you at school" glared Draco as he walked out.
We were walking in the street later that day "I hate that family!" I exclaimed "they are rude, patronizing, and prejudices the lot of them!" I snapped, Harry put a hand on my shoulder
"you did have to say that, back there you know" Hermione said quietly but I shook my head
"No one and, I repeat no one insults my friends and get away with it!" I smiled as Hermione and the others chuckled softly.
"Come on then we best be getting off" Mrs Weasley said, I hugged Hermione tightly "See you at school" I said as she said
"Bye" and with that we walked in opposite directions.
Me and Hermione where on the train waiting for Harry and Ron we were just talking nothing interesting, when I saw I heard noise from above us but, I chose to ignore it "where do you think they are?" asked Hermione
"I don't know maybe they are still trying to find a compartment?" I suggested Hermione just sighed and we began to talk about our summer. I told her about my grandmothers will and how we found it incredibly odd for her to leave us anything "Maybe she really did love you, I mean, you can say things you don't mean. You were still her only family and at the end of the day, Blood is thicker than water" said Hermione. How was this girl not in Ravenclaw?
That night, the boys didn't come to dinner either or when we were sent to our dormitories. I decided I would look for them tomorrow and so, that night I slept… but no very well.
