thank you everyone for adding my story to your favorites or to story alert and big thanks to AnnabethWeasley22 and Cookie05 for their reviews!
I love hearing from you guys and I'm really glad you like the story so far.
I'm thinking about writing next Chapter from twins' point of view, but I'm not sure yet, so let me know what you think about it.
It was an early morning, so early in fact, that Arthur was still in his pajamas, eating his early breakfast, but today he wasn't alone. There was Ginny, with her hair freshly brushed into a high ponytail, dressed in her prettiest dress with her black mary-jane shoes on.
Then, there was Jade, still wearing her nightshirt, and finally there was Ron and Charlie. Charlie was wearing jeans and poloshirt but Ron was in his bathrobe, with messy hair and tear stains all over his flushed cheeks and occasionally he hiccupped and hugged Charlie's left arm harder. He was clinging to his brother for dear life.
Yes, that's Right. Ron threw a tantrum in the morning. Molly woke everyone up but Ron told her he doesn't want to go and turned around, ready to sleep more.
Molly would have nothing about it. She made him get up and brush his teeth. She even got his jeans and t-shirt ready on his bed but when Ron came out of the bathroom he just said he doesn't want to go, over and over again.
"We won't be long, now, get dressed, we don't have time for this." She said and went to the kitchen to keep an eye on the porridge boiling in a big pod.
But when she came to check on Ron five minutes later, he was sitting on the top stair, still not dressed, with stubborn look on his face. After short argument, Ron started to cry, which didn't happen for a couple of years now, and finally threw a full tantrum by sitting on the ground while Molly dragged him to his room. Charlie who was just coming out of his own bedroom came to find out what was going on, and when Molly explained that Ron just doesn't want to go, he offered to stay home with his little brother.
"Are you sure? You wanted to go check out that quidditch store and …" asked Molly.
"Sure mom, I can get those things some next day." Confirmed Charlie and helped Ron to stand up. Little boy was still shaking with sobs and wouldn't agree to go even when Charlie tried to bribe him with candy.
Molly wouldn't usually give up if someone was disobeying but Ron never threw a fit and never refused a visit of candy shop so this time she was sure he really hated the idea of spending a day shopping.
"Alright then, you can stay home, but you'll listen to Charlie and if I hear he had any trouble with you today, you'll have a problem young man, understood?"
Ron nodded and wiped his nose with the back of his hand.
They all came down and had breakfast together and after Arthur went to work and Molly took both girls to the Diagon alley Ron helped Charlie clean the kitchen and afterwards, the two boys just plopped down in the grass and enjoyed girl-free morning.
Molly arrived to Diagon alley by floo. She brushed her clothes off with huge brush and cleaned Ginny's dress and Jade's plaid shorts as well, before they went to the first store.
There was one shop with muggle clothes because wizards had to blend in with muggles every day, so they carried pretty big selection of all different brands and styles.
Muggle clothes were cheaper, compared to wizard's robes, because they didn't have to be tailored. Ginny ran straight to the rack with skirts, because mom promised her to get her a new skirt today.
Molly turned to Jade and asked her what would she like to get.
"I don't need any clothes, I have full drawers of shirts and shorts in my room – or do I have to give them back to boys when they get home from school?" asked Jade.
"What? Oh no, of course not, those are all old clothes and boys already outgrew them, but you need some clothes on your own honey! Maybe a dress or some nice skirt?" suggested Molly.
When Jade just looked at her as if she was crazy, Molly started with some basic things she had to get anyways, in hope that it might loosen up the atmosphere and then Jade would pick something for herself.
They went to the underwear department where Jade just picked a pack of 7 black panties and some socks. They were almost like boy shorts styled underwear but for girls, and if Jade wanted them, then Molly wasn't going to push her for something girlier. They got a pair of jeans and two tees and one nice dress for wich Molly really had to push Jade to try it on. Actually she made her try on all sorts of dresses, and Gonny loved every one of them, saying how pretty jade looked in every one of them, but by the face Jade made every time she saw herself in the mirror, Molly knew she wouldn't enjoy wearing them. Finally she let Jade walk around the store and pick something, anything she'd like to get – Molly said it would be a welcome-home present, but in fact she had a plan.
Jade stopped in front of a dark blue cowboy styled hat and looked back at Molly with a question in her eyes.
Molly was sure she'd get her the hat, no matter what, because she could see Jade really liked it but she needed a dress for her first.
"Go on, try it!" She encouraged her newest daughter.
Jade carefully picked it from the shelf and put it on her head.
It fit her perfectly and it really suited her well, Jade's hair was growing out and it had beautiful nut-brown color, now almost chin-long. And she also had really tan face and light gray eyes which were shining from under the hat's brim.
"You look really beautiful." Complimented Molly and there it was – a light rode blush on Jade's cheeks. "But you need to pick one dress first, before we go." Said Molly strictly and Jade knew there was no other way out.
After long search, she finally found one she liked and Molly had to say it was totally Jade's style and it really suited her well. It was knee-length dress, made of light breezy cotton fabric, ink blue with ting white polka dots, it had small blue buttons in front and built-in elastic on the waist. It looked beautiful. They bought Pink dress with flowers for Ginny and new hair elastics too, and a pair of black leggings for both girls, then they were done.
Molly didn't spend much money, far less than she expected because Jade refused to buy any more clothes, insisting she liked the ones she had at home. They didn't even spend the extra galleon from Arthur.
After quick lunch in Leaky Cauldron, they headed home.
Ginny run right up to her room to put on her new dress and show it to Charlie and Ron.
Jade took all her new clothes upstairs, after thanking Molly for millionth time, and put the away carefully. Then she changed into the cut-off overalls with little G scribbled in the waistband from the inside. They had to belong to George before.
She run down, barefoot and joined her brothers who were still hanging out under the tree in their backyard.
Jade loved her new life. Before, she would be always corrected by some adult to go beck and put on some shoes, she wouldn't be allowed to sit on the grass because grass-stains were hard to wash and she would never ever run down the stairs.
Now she was here, in Burrow's backyard with grass tickling her knees, wearing cut off jeans and her new cowboy hat and she loved her life, she loved her family. This was the first time she realized it, first time she was ready to admit it. She was starting to love Weasleys and she was ok with it. And she laughed, spinning around with her arms out and palms facing the sky. Then she turned back to the house and run to the kitchen, hugging Molly unexpectedly around her waist.
"I love you." She cried out and looked up to Molly's face. Her new mom had teary eyes but she didn't hesitate a bit and hugged Jade back, telling her she loved her too and she'll love her forever.
Jade smiled wide and run back outside where everyone else was playing catch and Ginny was standing in the middle of the chaos, screaming on the boys to stop running before she changes her dress because they'll ruin it.
Jade fit right in, catching Charlie and jumping on his back from behind. She caught him by surprise but he kept running and laughing until he jumped into the big pile of hay they had by the fence and Ron jumped in right after them.
Ginny was running inside, yelling at them all the time to stop and wait for her. "Don't have any fun without me guys, I'll be right back!" she yelled before she disappeared inside. As Molly watched them from her kitchen window, she had this feeling that the "honeymoon" phase of Jade's life with them was over and now the trouble was just behind the corner. She just couldn't imagine how crazy it will be to get into this new phase, when she'll start testing the borders, while twins will be home from school.
And although she was already worried about the summer, she was happy at the same time, because Jade finally felt like at home and her boys will be home soon.
And as she watched her kids throwing hay at each other and jumping from the big pile she knew everything will work out just fine.
Next couple of days was filled with more de-gnoming of the garden (which, as Jade was starting to realize by now, was completely useless) and more cleaning around the house ( about which Molly knew was useless, because with so many people in one tiny place, there was no way how she could keep her home tidy).
The day before the end of school year when owls delivered mail to the great hall, and Dumbledore wished everyone nice holiday and let them have a free day at Hogwarts before they'll all leave tomorrow, one very tired-looking owl with gray feathers delivered two letters to the Weasley boys.
One was pretty short, just a couple of sentences and "we love you" from mom and dad, with Percy's name on top, and one was three feet long, with lots of comments and reminders for Fred and George with lots of love from their parents but a rather long PS at the end, with a couple more rules Molly wanted to remind them about.
Percy opened his letter at the table, and read it over a plate of scrambled eggs and toast, while twins simply grabbed the parchment, stuffed their pockets with muffins and after saluting to Dumbledore who laughed at them and waving at Hagrid who happily waved back, they run out of the great hall, taking their breakfast outside. Happy they were given permission to skip the last day of classes and enjoy the sun,
plus they had a couple more last-minute pranks planed and had to try again to et that toilet seat they wanted to bring home for Ginny. They tried many times but their plan always filed at the end, when they were disturbed by some random students or professors.
Once they were even caught by Filch himself but once they were in his office he was called to go elsewhere and they managed to snatch a piece of old parchment from his desk.
They planned to find out what it was for but didn't have time until now.
Molly's letter left forgotten in George's right pocket, while boys ate dozens of muffins and tried to solve the mystery of the parchment in the shade of old tree near the lake, protected from unwanted onlookers.
They only had two days left before they'll have to put their wands away for summer.
There was no time for mom's letters now!
