Listening to the boys storm not-so-gracefully down the stairs,you hear what youre sure is George curse as he falls down the last step. You peep your head over the couch to see if he's okay.
"Aha! I found you Ali!" Fred shouts as he lunges foreward, completely ignoring his twin trying to sit up from his fall and knocking him over again. You laugh as he jumps behind the couch, pinning you down again to try and tickle you once more.
"Ehem. Um hey there Ali." a familiar voice says with a chuckle, this voice is familiar , but lower. You shove Freds big head to the side and finally see Harry whom you've been missing all holiday.
"Ow." Fred laughs and lets you go. "Geezus Harry, looks like little Ali missed you." you smirk and shove his body off of you and tackle Harry to the ground in a hug.
"Harry! I missed you so much! I tried to write, and I sent countless letters to you, Aerol probably lost them like usual" you shoot a glare at the owl perched on his faux branch in the kitchen adjacent to the living room.
"Um actually the Dursleys were taking my mail again. I guess they are afrain that if I have friends talking to me, I'd become 'even more of a freak' by thier standards. But you shouildn't have to worry about that anymore. Hell, you should'nt even worry about writing to me anyways. I left thier house for good." Sheepishly smiling, Harry scratches the back of his head.
You look at him quizzically. "Where are you staying Harry?" As if answering your question you hear a flapping of wings and a cage rattling as you notice Hedwig in his cage in a corner of the room. Surrounding Hedwig is a trunk labeled 'Potter' and a coat resting on top of it. "Wait Harry." your faces lights up with an even brighter smile than before. "You mean youre staying here at The Burrow?!" Looking to Molly and Arthur who had just entered the room smiling, you once again hug Harry, with possibly more fervor than before.
"Yeah I'm here for good." A blush forms on Harry's face as he look to the side where Ginny is standing. 'Could it be he has a crush on her too? I hope the boys didn't notice that look, they'd never let the poor boy live that down. Or live for that matter. If they knew Harry had a crush on their sister. Ooh... things could get ugly.' Smiling you grab Fred and Georges hands dragging them out of the room to give Harry and Ginny a little bit more privacy, (and to keep and problems from arising).
Before you reach the door Fred suddenly hoists you up and drapes you over his shoulder. "Now then I'll take this one away so you two can be alone. And remember Potter mitts off my sister."
George chuckles, "Right Potter, you wouldn't want to be a test subject for any new products now would you? Eh chap."
The ginger girls face begins to turn a rosy red as she glares at her brothers. "Shut up you two. Leave him alone." Rolling her eyes she sits Harry back down and proceeds to show him a new book of Herbology Neville lent her.
The boys take you out of the room and you squirm a little in Fred's arms. hes been very set on physical contact lately, more so than usual. Also, he has been getting more jealous. You sigh to yourself because you know why this is happening. You've suspected hes had a crush on you for quite a while now. Well, both boys did, which was a nightmare yo must add. George quickly grew out of it after he began dating Angelina. but not Fred, oh no. He finds every excuse he can to hold you close, to hold your hand. Every chance he can to get out of what Muggles call the 'friend-zone'. truthfully you did not mind it. you thought it was quite sweet actually. You couldn't say you felt the same thought, but then you also couldn't say that you didn't feel for him. It was a long going problem, these feelings. You loved Fred and you would never want to hurt him that way so you tried to keep your distance from him romantically.
What bothered you the most was his jealousy. When you had dated Dean Thomas he didn't talk to you for about a week. Whenever he saw you two together he would get a look in his eye that broke your heart, at the time you had no idea that you had been developing feelings for him so you didn't nderstand why this hurt you so much. George at the time also liked you so it was double the torture. Finally, when you and Dean broke it off, they were again the twins you once knew. That was about a year ago. You haven't dated another guy since. Not that you didn't like any, or weren't asked, you just felt like you weren't allowed to.
Yes these two boys would be the death of you, but you loved them so much that you were okay with it. Escaping from the hold that your thoughts had on you, you looked to see where Fred had carried you to.
Surrounding you was an excess of Muggle housewares, knick knacks, whose-its and whats-its.
"Mum sent us to the cellar to find the Floo powder. She said it should be somewhere in here. help us find it Ali." George says as Fred sets you back on your feet, looking a bit disappointed that he has to put you down.
"Floo Powder? Where are we going?" you ask curiously as the boys just smirk, loving the fact that they know something you don't.
