Mia hated travelling via the floo network. Then again, who would love getting a lung full of soot? When she'd finished her miniature coughing fit and the horrible disorientating feeling had gone off she opened her eyes and looked through at the new surroundings. She hadn't been to the burrow before, but Ginny had described it and it certainly was cosy. The kitchen appeared to be empty at first, with pots cleaning themselves in the sink and a small clock on the wall that seemed to have the Weasley's faces on each hand moving a lot faster than a normal clock. But as Mia stepped out of the fireplace and placed her bags on the floor she was attacked by a longhaired redhead who she hoped was Ginny.

"I need to breath" she muffled through the redness, hugging her friend back before stepping away and taking in fresh air. The youngest Weasley looked incredibly tanned, and that was Mia remember they'd all only just got back from their trip to Egypt. It probably was a good thing she hadn't needed to leave Draco's early, the house would've been empty.

"Sorry. How was it? Was it terrible? Did Malfoy treat you like a servant? Egypt was amazing! You should've come with us instead. Have you ever been to Egypt? You'd love it, better than staying at Malfoys. How bad was it?" Considering Ginny was so small, she could sure talk quickly when she wanted to. Mia shook her head trying to repeat everything the redhead had asked her in her own head and make sense of it all. Why had she had to ask everything so quickly?

"It was fine, good even.." For the most part, well, if you take out that Lucius is a vile man and shouldn't be allowed to have a child. But I can't tell you any of that, Mia thought before forcing a smile onto her features. Ginny seemed sceptical but returned the smile all the same. Just as she was about to bombard the darker haired girl with another set of questions more people entered the kitchen, and she'd never been so glad to see a set of twins. Hopefully they could distract Ginny long enough for her to forget about asking for details.

"You're alive!" Fred said, grinning as both boys walked over to her, stopping just before the fireplace that she'd managed to take a step out of.

"You aren't a slave!" George observed, feigning a look of shock and relief, which made all four laugh.

"She could be our slave.." Mia placed her hands on her hips at the thoughtful tone in the redheads' voice, and she shook her head at Fred's comment.

Rolling her eyes she couldn't help a small smile as she hugged each twin, Fred holding on slightly longer and having to be pried off by an annoyed younger ginger.

"You know, he really isn't that bad" 'especially if you knew everything I did' She added in her head. If anyone found out because of something she did, Draco might never say another word to her again. Both twins pulled a face,

"Whatever you say Lestrange" Fred said and they bot headed out of the room before Mia could remind them she did have a first name. Turning her attention back to Ginny, she raised an eyebrow.

"What?" It was obvious she still wanted to quiz her on every detail, but her best fried seemed to be choosing her words carefully.

"He really didn't treat you like a servant or something?" Mia sighed, exasperated. Was it really that hard to believe that Draco Malfoy was a decent person?

"You're starting to sound like your brothers" She commented, ignoring the dirty look the younger girl gave her. Luckily Mrs Weasley tottering into the kitchen diffused the little tension there was, and after the hello's and how are you's had once again been exchanged, Gin took her friends free hand – the other picking the bags back up, and led her up the two flights of stairs to the tiny bedroom. Making a mental note not to let Gin ever see her own, rather large bedroom,. Mia sat down on the mass of blankets. It was strange going from Draco's huge mansion to the Weasleys compact home. But that's definitely what it was, not a house. A home. She wasn't sure which she preferred. Possible her own that was in-between.

It didn't take them long to unpack Mia's things. Half of her clothes needed washing from Draco's, which Mrs Weasley was only too happy to do for her, then both girls headed outside to find the brooms. Ginny wanted to try out for the quidditch team aswell this year, so it only seemed logical they both got some practice in before hand.

"What position are you going for?" Mia questioned, not expecting that the smaller girl would want to be a beater like herself. The red heads small frame would be more suited for…

"Chaser" Mi gave a small nod in agreement, she had no idea if the Gryffindor team had a chaser already, but her friend was good, she'd definitely stand a good chance.

"Just watch out for any bludgers I send your way" She joked, before having to duck suddenly as two things flew extremely close to their heads.

"what the hell are you doing?" Ginny shouted at the two fast moving blurs of red hair on brooms. They both came to a stop hovering several feet from the floor.

"Don't you mean-" Started George,

"Watch out for the bludgers we'll be sending your way?" Fred finished, grinning. Damn, she'd forgotten those two were the Gryffindor beaters. Surely they'd be more likely to watch her back than aim deadly balls at her.

"Get off the brooms, we need to practice" The younger redhead said, jumping up to push George sideways, who ended up hanging upside down. The twins exchanged a look that the raven-haired couldn't read.

"But we're gonna race. Hop on if you want" Fred said, as his brother righted himself and held his hand out to Gin. Mia frowned slightly, taking the several steps over to Fred and giving him a warning look. Gin seemed like she'd gone as a passenger on a broom quite a lot, but Mi had never even thought about it. Fred kept his 1000 watt smile on his features as he held out his own hand to her and helped pull the younger girl up behind him.

"If you try to make me fall, I swear I'll take you down with me" She threatened, wrapping her arms around the ginger's waist.

"Better hold on tight then" He said, and kicked off to hover next to his siblings. "Ready?" He asked, and Mia tightened her hold slightly, not wishing to fall at the first hurdle. The other brother gave a grinning nod, before both dived forward, managing to catch the girls off guard.

A small squeak left Mia's lips, causing the redhead infront of her to grin.

Admittedly, she loved the stunts the twins kept pulling, quick turns, diving downwards then back up at the last minute, but as soon as she jumped off the broom, she vowed to never back on another with Fred again in her life.

A/N: Hey guys, Ok firstly, I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated, I haven't had a clue what to write, I've become slightly obsessed with reading the noughts and cross books, and I've had to be revising, but hey, a new chapters up now. Secondly, I want to apologise for spelling mistakes. I write chapters up first in a book so I can do it at school etc, and then type it up. So as I rush when I type it up some words come out wrong, I'll try to proof read better though so that should stop that. Thirdly, I got a review saying they didn't know what was on Draco's back, and sorry if I haven't explained it well enough, 'As she lightly ran her fingertips across the many scars covering from his shoulders to waist,' I didn't really want to go into so much detail but basically Draco's got scars all down his back from Lucius over the years, idk I thought it would explain for his character and why he's so cold towards people normally. If there's anything else you don't understand just leave a review and I'll answer it in the next chapter Thanks for reading and to everyone who does review, wow this is long xD Z-Nugget xx
