(sorry for any typos, it's midnight here and I'm half asleep already)

Enjoy!

Now that boys were home, Molly had more work to do. There were piles of laundry from their school trunks and too many dishes to fit in the sink. The floor was already dirty (even though she had no idea which of her kids managed to make muddy footprints on her clean kitchen floor before breakfast) thank Merlin today was Friday.

Charlie was brave enough to offer he'll take them all to the village and on their way back buy all the groceries they needed for dinner.

Molly handed him the money they'll need and checked if everyone had sneakers on (or at least with them) and reminded Charlie there's a muggle family visiting one of their neighbors so there was absolutely no magic permitted for at least two weeks.

As Molly watched her children walk down the path leading to the village, she couldn't help but wonder how Jade lived all those years without her brothers and sister. She seemed to fit right in with everyone and she was getting more comfortable with her parents now.

The truth is that Jade never really missed siblings or friends before. She moved quite a lot and so she was used to being alone, but now she couldn't imagine life without so many people in the house.

She didn't think about her classmates from the past, but there really was one boy who went with her to kindergarten and then first two grades of primary school, whom Jade missed a lot.

Bruno. She often wondered if he still remembered her.

Those three years were the longest period of time she stayed with one family. Then, after her first incident with magic (well, at least first that someone noticed) she was sent away and never really found new friends.

They walked down the hill, while Ron told Twins and Charlie about their wagon crash. Everyone laughed about it, and the village seemed closer for Jade now, when she knew where they were going. They reached the last turn of the path before the village so Charlie told everyone to put on their shoes and repeated their mother's warning about absolutely no magic.

They walked across the street and down the road to the center square where they had church shop, little post office with public phone outside and a little pub.

Jade wondered who those muggles were. She didn't know many of people living there but she was sure she could spot a muggle if she saw one now.

They went to the park and Fred with George pushed Ginny on the swing really high.

Ron climber up the slide and stayed sitting on top, just looking around.

Jade walked around the park, it wasn't big, with only two benches and one path which formed a circle and ended at the same spot where it started. Not much to explore, but Jade liked the change of scenery.

She spent last couple of weeks at the Burrow, with little trips here and there, but mostly Burrow, and now they were at the Village, with whole morning for themselves.

Jade was going to ask Charlie if she could go for a walk around the second street, when Ron announced from the slide top: "someone's coming. Oh, it's Paul! Cool! And there's someone with him. Sweet son of banshee! D'you think it could be that muggle?" Ron almost fell down the slide, head first.

"Ok everyone, just watch your mouths – don't say anything you're not supposed to say." Reminded them Charlie and helped Ron back to his feet.

"Hey Paul!" exclaimed Ron. They were good friends since they were close age and there weren't many other boys at the village.

"What's up? Haven't seen you in a while." Asked Paul and high fived Ron.

"you know, just usual stuff, chillin'at home" Ron played it cool, but the truth was mom wouldn't let him go to the village alone just yet, because it was pretty long way from their home.

"I heard you have new sister now. Is it true?" Paul wanted to know. There were rumors going around the village and he heard some adults talking about the newest addition to weasley's family but no one wanted to talk to him about it.

"Oh, yeah, Jade came about a month ago. She's really cool." Said Ron. He didn't like the way Paul asked about Jade. As if she was some kind of freak and he wanted to see if she's really that odd.

Ron looked around to find his newest sister, but she was at the far end of the park, slowly walking to them. She'll get there eventually, so Ron changed the topic.

"And who's your friend?" asked Ron, totally aware the other boy had to be muggle, because he was dressed in clothes which looked too… too muggle. However hard wizards tried to recreate muggle clothes, to blend in, they were never this successful, plus Ron has never seen him before.

By now, Ginny stopped swinging and joined Ron with twins.

"Yeah, he's my muggle cousin. He'll stay here for two weeks. Doesn't know about magic so we have to be really careful at home – it kind of sucks because I have to clean my room the "normal" way now." Paul rolled his eyes.

Fred and George just looked at him as if he was crazy, the other boy was standing just a couple of feet behind Paul and if he didn't know abut magic before, he surely had to know now, because he heard all their conversation. Ron opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again, not knowing how to react.

"Relax guys, he's deaf. Can't hear a word." Laughed Paul and walked over to the bench. Ron smiled at the stranger and then followed his friend. He absolutely hated the way Paul talked about his cousin, why didn't he tried to include him? Why didn't he introduce him to his friends, or at least called him to sit on the bench with them?

And Ron asked all those questions, because even though h wasn't always as brave as he wanted to be, or as smart as his mom wanted him to be, he was kind and raised to care for everyone and always be nice to people.

"well, he can't read from lips very well yet and there's no way I'm going to learn his freaky signs he uses with his parents." Said Paul. "My mom knows the basics, so she talks to him, but she had to go to the city today so I have to drag him with me everywhere."

The boy who was standing where Paul left him, slowly walked to the swings and started to swing softly, looking down at his sneakers.

Ron was sad, he wished he could talk to the boy, right now, he was sure the muggle would be much nicer company than his friend Paul. Ron wasn't sure why he talked to Paul anyway. Twins disappeared, getting into some kind of trouble for sure, and Charlie told them to stay in the park while he went to the post office to send out some documents he needed for school. Ginny was talking to Jade, but quickly lost interest , sat down on the grass and started to make daisy chains. It was slow morning and all she wanted was to be home already because mom promised they'll bake cupcakes after lunch.

Jade walked slowly in the direction of boys, she was usually good in getting to know new people but Paul seemed to have a little bit too high self-esteem for her taste.

Then there was that other boy, swinging on the…

Ron looked at Jade as she sprinted around them and hugged the boy at the swing.

She didn't say anything, just hugged him for a long while and he hugged her back!

Does that mean she knows him?

Jade let the boy go and started to quickly sign and talk at the same time. And the boy signed back, so fast that Ron had no idea how Jade could even see hat he was doing with his hands.

"so that's your new sister?" asked Paul, clearly not impressed.

"Yes, that's Jade." Said Ron and looked at his sister a little bit jealous. She knew how to talk to him. That wasn't fair. Ron wanted to get to know him too, but it looked impossible to learn.

"Well, I hoped she would be more extraordinary. Seems quite average to me, I have no idea why whole village talks about her, do you?" asked Paul with bored voice.

"You know what Paul? You're not even average, you're way below average. You have no idea how awesome it is to have one more sister and clearly, she's much more extraordinary than you if she can talk to your cousin without problem and you can't even introduce me to him." Said Ron calmly and walked away from his childhood friend.

Paul crossed a line, and Ron wasn't going to stick around and wait for him to insult his family any longer.

"Hey Jade?" started Ron as he came closer, "Could you introduce me?"

"sure!" exclaimed Jade and pulled him closer by his arm.

"Ron, this is Bruno, my friend from school." She said and signed along, "and Bruno, this is Ron, my new brother."

Ron shook hands with Bruno and smiled at him again.

Paul walked past them and told Ron to bring Bruno back to their house when they'll go away.

Ron didn't mind, he just nodded and watched with fascination how Jade continued signing.

Ginny skipped to them with long Daisy chain around her neck, smiling sweetly at their newest friend. She looked a little bit scared and stayed close to her brother at first, because she has never seen a boy who didn't talk and moved his hands so strangely but she warmed up and started to ask Jade to repeat some signs and tried to sign them herself.

They had fun trying to learn signs for everything around them.

Ginny wanted to know how signs for grass, trees, sun, sky and bench looked like and Ron soon joined her, when he saw that Bruno didn't mind showing them all he knew.

They made sure they didn't ask or say anything about magic though, because mom would never let them go to the village again.

When Charlie came back with twins behind him, whispering something to each other and hiding some package s in their pockets, Jade was too sad to say good bye.

They walked Bruno back to Paul's house and when Jade hugged him and a single tear fell down her cheek, Charlie promised her he'll take them down to the village again next week so they could see each other at least one more time before Bruno has to go home.

When Molly heard about Jade's old friend staying at the village and about her newest daughter's knowledge of sign language, she once again realizes how little she knows about her and made a promise to herself she'll find some one on one time with her daughter soon.
