"Stop being so nervous Jane" Nymphadora told me for the upteenth time.
"Right, sorry."
It was about half-past two in the afternoon, and I was ready to go and meet the Weasleys.
"I mean really dear, I don't know why you are so nervous, you are quite good with people." Ted told me.
"Yea, you all are right, I am ready to go." I replied to the Tonks'.
All right, grab onto my arm, Andromeda instructed, "Bye, Dora, bye Ted. I'll see you in a couple of hours."
"Good luck", they smiled at me.
'CRACK'
After the familiar lack of air was gone from apparition, Andromeda led me to the Burrow. When I looked up and saw a house, (it was something way cooler than a house) that was probably being held together with magic because there was no possible way that it was stacked up like this on it's own.
"Wicked" I muttered under my breath.
"Well I will get going then, go ahead just knock on their door, they are quite welcoming people." Andromeda informed me.
"Alright, see you in a couple of hours."
And with that she apparated away. "Ok, Jane you can do this they are just people. I mean come-on how many worse things have you seen?"
As I finished knocking the door was opened by a tall redhead boy with freckles sprinkled across his face.
He looked at me weird and called out "Oi mum, how come you didn't tell me we were having a cousin come over?"
"Oh no, I'm not your-" I started.
"Jane, dear please do come in," a woman gestured me inside. "Er, thank you Mrs. Weasley"
"Oh do call me Molly" she told me with a warm smile.
"Thank you Molly", I said once again.
"Uh, mum care to explain" said the red haired boy.
"Oh for Heaven's sake Ronald can you me more impatient?" She asked him. "Go gather your siblings then we can all properly meet.
"I never get an answer around here" grumbled the boy. "What was that Ron?" Molly asked him in a dangerous tone.
"I just said that I'll get the others." answered Ron, I grinned.
After few minutes the rest of the Weasley's came piling down the staircase. There was one girl who looked a bit younger than myself, two very attractive twins and Ron.
"Hello" I said brightly to them.
"Hi, I'm Ginny" the girl pipped up. I smiled, I had a feeling we were going to get along well.
"Come on let's have a seat dears" Mrs. Weasley said kindly.
Mom now can you explain to me who this is asked Ron.
"Oh if you were more patient you would find out Ron" said an irritated Molly.
"Here let me help you" one of the twins offered me his hand. "Thanks" I took it while blushing a bit.
I Usually don't blush, I thoughtI mean he is pretty attractive though.
After everyone was seated at the long dining table, all of the Weasley's were staring at me intently.
"So what's it like to be an Auror at this age, do you work with any cute guys?" Ginny asked.
"Ha, yea I wish, I actually haven't had real contact and proper social interaction with someone close to my age. I mean it's not like I have time anyway, I am either training, practicing, or on a mission. Other than that I eat, sleep, hang out with Nymphadora Tonks sometimes, and eat again."
"Bloody hell, how do you do it I ca-"
Before Ron could finish his sentence he yelped in pain as Fred (I think) stepped on his foot hard.
I smiled at the both of them, "It's totally fine if you want to know, I mean when the time comes I will be asking you all questions, so you better answer them good." I told them in a serious manner.
"You have a sense of humor much like your parents," Mr. Weasley said fondly.
"Oh yes, I have been meaning to ask you -if you don't mind of course- how you knew my parents?"
"Ah well yes, your parents went to school with us and your mother and I were friends," Molly told me.
"Yes, if course your father was very close to James Potter and the Marauders, but we all talked and hung out a bit." Arthur finished.
I looked at the pair of them and smiled. "Thank you, it's not exactly every day that I hear something new about my parents.
"Oh of course dear, why don't you all go up into Ron's room and get to know each other" Mrs. Weasley suggested.
"But mum, why my room?" Ron complained to his mother.
"Because tonight you have gotten on my nerves too much Ronald," she answered simply as if it was a regular conversation she had on any given day. Wow seven kids it must be hell for her, I thought about Mrs. Weasley.
Once we have gotten to Ron's bedroom I looked around, It was a pretty bright room all lined with posters of the Quidditch team the 'Chudley Cannons', his bed had a bright orange spread of the team which I imagined to blend with his hair very well. Oh right I am a ginger too, nevermind then, I thought to myself.
"Alright, I think you have heard enough about me now about you lot" I told the Ron, Ginny, Fred and George.
I found it surprisingly easy to talk with the Weasley's, I found out that Fred and George were the 'main' pranksters of Hogwarts, Ginny was a year younger than Ron meaning that she was the youngest but still has fiery attitude towards her brothers which I deeply admire, and Ron loved to eat, (I know that we are going to get along just fine) and was loyal to his friends.
A couple time I would catch Fred staring at me, and as I would look at him he would casually look away or would wink back at me.
They all told me how I had a really good sense of humor and how they couldn't believe that I do not have that much interaction with people like this.
"Hey, you know what I reckon, I think you can easily pass as my sister" said Ginny thoughtfully. I laughed,
"Well it's possible, it's just that Jane is prettier than you Gin" Fred commented.
I looked at him curiously while George was beside him was stuffing his face with his knuckles to try to hold back the laughter.
"Looks like Jane here has a bit of an admirer over here" he finally said, still red in the face.
"Yea, looks like you just blended in with the banner behind you, you know your hair and all," I pointed out to George who was sitting in front of a Gryffindor banner.
Everyone laughed including the now blushing Fred.Well he certainly didn't strike me as a blushing type, I thought, he is really cute when he does though and why was he staring at me so much? Oh well it's probably nothing, I said to myself.
"I think my dear brother Fred over there like you dear Jane," Ginny said mockingly.
I looked at her, "well you know whenever Harry Potters' name came up in one of our conversations you kind of fidgeted a bit, or even blushed. Is there something that you mean to tell me Ginny dear. I replied in the same mocking tone whilst smirking.
"Oh shut it", she replied evidently blushing.
"Oi, what are you two whispering about over there" said George, "Yea it's rude to whisper around other people and not tell them what you are talking about," added Fred with interest.
"Well I guess Ginny and I will have to continue to be rude then" I answered simply.
I heard Ron grumble something that sounded oddly like 'women always so complicated for no reason'.
After a couple hours Andromeda came to pick me up, and as she was talking to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley we all came down.
"Thank you so much for having her, she really did need this I think. She has been under quite a bit of stress lately." Andromeda told them.
"Thankyou so much guys" I said turning to the four of them. "Would it be alright if I called you my friends?" I asked uncertain of the answer.
"Of course Jane, I just think that Fred would mind calling you something more than that, of you know what I'm saying." Ginny said matter of factly as she dodged Fred foot as he was about to stomp on hers. "And it's rude to kick your younger sister" she added.
"Alright ready to go Jane?" Andromeda asked.
"Yep, thank you so much for everything, I really enjoyed dinner your cooking is truly amazing Mrs. Weasley" I thanked them thinking about the beef stew we had earlier.
"Oh don't thank me dear, anytime" she said kindly to me.
"Speaking of which" Arthur added "we have an extra ticket for the 422nd Quidditch World Cup, would you care to join us?"
"NO WAY", I said a little too loudly. "Sorry, it's just that I love Quidditch, but I need to check if I have any missi-" but before I could finish Andromeda interrupted me.
"Of course Jane would care to join you, she and my daughter never stop talking about the sport, and Jane I'm sure you can miss some of you duties,"
"Yea, alright sounds good, so I guess I will be seeing you in a couple days then" I said to the Weasley's.
"Yep, Fred can't wait" was the last thing I heard Ginny say before I apparated side-by-side Andromeda.
