"Roxy, hold still or I'll smear your mascara!" Lucy told a figity Roxanne.
"Sorry, I'm just so excited!" Roxanne said.
"I know, but please hold still!" Lucy said patiently. As Lucy did Roxanne's hair and makeup, Molly was tearing apart their closet, in search of Victoire's black handbag.
"How are you getting to the leaky cauldron?" Victoire asked from her bed as she leafed through Witch Weekly.
"Tanner's driving," Roxanne said plainly.
"Woah-wait, your going out with someone who's sixteen?" Molly said poking her head out of the closet.
"Yeah, you gotta problem?" Roxanne asked frowning.
"Yes, you're only thirteen," Molly told her as if it wasn't obvious.
"It's not really any of your business, Molly Penelope!" Roxanne said haughtily.
"Molly, calm down. Roxanne, just be careful. I know what boy's my age are like, and they don't always want the right things from girls, okay?" Lucy told her.
"I know, but Tanner's not like that, I swear," Roxanne said turning to look at her.
"I know, but sometimes people don't show their true colors until later, kay? I've gone out with loads of guys like that as I assume so did Vic, right?"
"Right," Victoire said.
"I haven't," Molly piped up.
"We know," Lucy said frowning, Molly had only gone out with one guy in her entire life, and that's because Lucy had tricked her into it.
Okay, I'll be careful," Roxanne promised.
"Good, now stand up and show us your full ensem-" Lucy started.
"I found it!" Molly shouted.
"Found what?" asked Victoire, confused.
"The bag!" Molly said holding the stupid thing up.
"Oh, good. Now Roxanne, model your outfit!" Lucy said excitedly. Roxanne stood up. She was wearing her shoulder length hair in curls with a lace braid on one side. She had on Lucy's sparkle eye shadow and her own pink lipstick. Her dress had wide black and white stripes, over it was a short sleeved black shrug. Lucy's glittery low heeled white pumps, and most importantly, a very big smile. Lucy snapped a picture.
"Okay, go have fun! Remember to be back by ten," Lucy said waving.
"Bye guys! Thanks for helping!" Roxy called over her shoulder as she ran down the stairs. Lucy smiled and waved once more. Molly frowned and put her hands on her hips.
"Chill out Mol, I put a tracking spell on those shoes-or well, mum did. If he tries anything funny, I'll know when, where and how," Lucy told Molly, who didn't look convinced.
"Trust me Molly, it works mum put one on my locket when I first started dating Teddy. And one time-" Molly covered her ears.
"STOP! I don't wanna hear more, Vic!" She screeched. Lucy cracked up. Molly stuck her tongue out at them.
"Real mature, Molly Sis!" Victoire said back.
"It's not my job to be mature that's Lucy's!" Molly shot back. Lucy shrugged, she was a prefect after all. But so was Molly.
"Well... technically, Mol, it's your job too. Or have you suddenly stopped being a prefect or something?" Lucy asked her.
"Hey, it's not my fault I was appointed prefect! That's Professor Neville's," Molly said defensively.
"I was joking Mol, -not that I don't think Professor Longbottom was off his rocker when he chose you as prefect instead of Lillia Samuel!" Lucy said loudly.
"Hey, hey, hey. Ladies follow my rule," Ben said from the doorway.
"Oh, yeah? And what's that?" Molly asked, folding her arms.
"Lucy is always right," Ben said, then bolted down the hallway. They all rushed to the doorway just in time to see Ben slam the door to Freddy and James's room.
"Damn!" Molly swore.
"Don't swear," Lucy said absent mindedly.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Molly said to her. Lucy rolled her eyes at Molly. Victoire rolled her eyes at both of them.
"Give it a rest why don't you? You're giving me a headache!" Victoire yelled.
"Now I have a headache!" Lucy said turning and plopping on her bed. Molly sat on her own bed that was next to Lucy's.
After the war all of Gran's children had moved back in with her. Gradually so did heir spouses. As the couples began to have children, the kids would be put into bedrooms with their siblings or cousins that were their same gender and closest to their age. Since Teddy was first, and the oldest boy by a lot, he had his own room. Molly and Lucy were born next in April two years later and a month later, Victoire was born. They had shared this bedroom their whole lives. The other room pairings were as followed: Freddy and James, Lily and Roxanne, Rose and Dom, and Hugo, Louis and Al.
Molly, Lucy and Victoire's bedroom was painted a lavenderish color and each girl had their own bed and desk (at the foot of it) in their own style. Victoire's bedding was a pale blue and had white lace and polka dots. Her desk was white and her bed was against the left(from the door) wall. Lucy's bedding was white and fluffy. She had dark purple sheets and different shades of purple accent pillows. Her desk was a dark wood, and her bed was in the center of the room. Molly's area was what you could call the focal point of the room. Her sheets were a bright turquoise, her comforter was striped rainbow, all her pillows were different colors and patterns, and her pale wooded desk had been splatter painted. Her bed was on the far right. All of the girls beds were a different color rod iron, Lucy's was black(just normal rod iron), Victoire's was white and Molly's was bright yellow. All of their clothes were kept either in the drawers under their beds, or the closet. All their hair, stuff and makeup was kept in the vanity opposite of Lucy's bed. Nest to the vanity was a hutch that housed Lucy's rabbit, Ollie
Their room was arranged the best (it also was the biggest) of all the Weasley-Potter girls bedrooms. Because of this all the girls liked to gather their at night during the holidays for sleep overs, gossip sessions, advice, or GOWG (gathering of Wotter girls) meeting.
Tonight they were having a gossip/advice session. This meant there wasn't any emergency or urgent matter like in a GOWG and no one except Lucy, Vic and Molly were sleeping in there.
"Hey, you all! Why so quiet?" Lily said bounding into the room with a pillow in her arms. Her wavy reddish brown hair was in a knot on the very top of her head.
"Hey Lils, you know it's not a sleep over, right?" Molly said eyeing Lily's pillow.
"Of course I do, If it was a sleep over I would've brought more stuff, silly!" Lily said squishing her pillow on the foot of Lucy's bed and then throwing herself on top of it. Lucy moved her feet so they weren't in Lily's face.
"Where's Rose?" Lucy asked Lily.
"In the loo brushing her hair still," Lily said picking up Lucy's watermelon lip smacker and putting it on.
"Uh oh, I better go help her," Lucy said. "You two put on your pj's, I'm going to help Rose with her mane." Lucy opened the door to the bathroom, which was ajoining to the room by a door next to her by the closet. All the girls bedrooms were connected to it. As she walked into the bathroom to see Rose trying to pull her hairbrush out of her long Red curls. Lucy took the brush and carefully tugged the brush out of her hair.
"Thanks Luce!" Rose said turning around and smiling gratefully.
"Your welcome! Now, let's go to my room, I have to get into my pj's and then I'll finish brushing and braiding your hair, kay?" Lucy said reaching for the door to her bedroom.
"Okay! Thanks!" Rose said beaming. They headed back into Lucy's bedroom to see that Dom had joined them as well, she was sitting next to Molly sorting chocolate frog cards. Lucy pulled a drawer open and pulled out her pink pyjama bottoms, a white tank and bunny slippers. She quickly changed and through her hair into a messy ponytail. She sat down on her bed behind Rose and started to gently brush the rats out of her cousin's hair.
"So, what'ya want to talk about?" asked Lily who was now leafing through a copy of Seventeen that Aunt Hermione had gotten her.
"Oooh! How is your relationship with Steven?" Victoire asked Lily excitedly.
"Well... since you asked, it's not really a relationship seeing as I'm only twelve and he's only thirteen. But, on the last day of term we went out to the dock on the black lake and he kissed me!" Lily said nearly exploding with joy.
"Big deal he's kissed you before," Molly said as she laid back on her pillows and opened a new chocolate frog. Lucy gave her a look that said Your cousin's excited, don't ruin it! Molly just shrugged.
"I know, but this time it almost turned into a full on snog! He had his hands on my waist and everything, but James came up from behind us and pushed us in!" Lily said glumly.
"What are brothers for?" Victoire told her.
"That's not what you said when Louis interrupted you and Teddy snogging in his tent while we were camping last summer!" Molly pointed out. Victoire glared at her.
"You know, I really like this Watermelon lip gloss. Where'd you get it?" Lily said turning to look at Lucy.
"Your mum gave it to me for my birthday last year," Lucy told her.
"Oh, I'll have to ask her then," Lily replied. "Did Rox say what time she'd be back?" Lucy shook her head.
"I told her she had to be back by ten, though," Lucy said.
"Do you think she'll actually be back by then?" Victoire asked.
"Probably not," Dom said looking up from her chocolate frog cards. "She'll be too busy making out with Tanner."
"Making out?" Molly said looking appalled.
"But, Roxy said this was her first date with him!" Lucy said tying up the end of Rose's braid with a hairband.
"Yeah, but I know Tanner, he'll manage to get a snog in somewhere!" Dom told her.
"Can't you monitor her by her shoes?" Molly asked.
"Yeah, If anything racy happens this charm will light up," Lucy explained holding up the double oval shaped charm on her necklace."It will glow red if they kiss, Blue if they snog"
"Okay good! I'll watch it," Molly volunteered.
"No need, it will also grow hot to the touch,'' Lucy assured her.
"You don't think he will, er, try to kiss her?" Rose asked.
"I don't know, I don't think so. But then again I don't know him well," Lucy answered.
"I do know him, and I think you should keep an eye on that necklace!" Dom piped up.
"Same," Molly said. Lucy sighed, now she was beginning to worry about Roxanne. It was Victoire who calmed her down.
"Don't worry I don't think he would on the first date. He'd wait until she trusted him more," Victoire assured her. Lucy nodded, Victoire was probably right.
"OMG! Celestina Warbeck broke up with Kendi Snugroff!" Lily exlaimed(she was now looking at both Witch Weekly and Seventeen at the same time)
"Who?" Molly asked. Lucy nodded in agreement.
"Celestina Warbeck is like, one of the most famous singing sorceress ever!" Victoire told them like it was super obvious. Dom rolled her eyes at her sister. "I saw that Dom!" Victoire said frowning. Dom shrugged.
"We know who Celestina Warbeck is, Gran plays her music every Christmas," Dom said. "We want to know who Kendi Snugroff is!"
"He's the lead singer of The Weird Sisters," Lily explained.
"Oh," Lucy said.
"Yeah, well him and Celestina just broke up and are going into a custody battle over their pygmy puff, Snuggles," Lily told them, flipping through the rest of the story.
"That's stupid," Molly said making a face. Lucy and Dom nodded in agreement.
"Not really, for celebrities it's actually not that bad," Victoire informed them.
"Ugh, I'm glad I'm not a celebrity," Molly told her.
"Well, you sorta are by wizarding standards. I mean we all are," Dom told Molly.
"Yeah, but we're famous because of how we were born not because we magically made our voice sound like one of those muggle opera's," Molly replied.
"Whatever, same difference. But child celebrities are treated differently, when your grown you'll have to deal with all the celebrity crap," Rose told Molly.
"UGH! Why did Dad have to become Minister of Magic anyways?" Molly asked.
"It's not just that," Lucy said.
"What else would it be?" Molly asked Lucy.
"Umm, let me think. You live in the same house as The Golden Trio, and you share a bedroom with Bill Weasley the almost werewolf's daughter!" Lucy said to an apparently oblivious Molly.
"Huh, I never thought about that," Molly said. Lucy rolled her eyes for what felt like the a thousandth time that day. Lucy swore that someday she was going to need an eye treatment because of how much she rolled her eyes.
Lucy heard a knock on the door. She got up to open it. It was her Mum who was carrying a tray with 6 warm, foamy butterbeers, and cookies and sweets.
"Thanks Mum!'' Lucy said. All the rest of the girls nodded in agreement and chorused in with ''Thanks Auntie Audrey!"
"Bien sûr! Vous, les filles se amuser, mais ne restez pas trop tard," (Of course! You girls have fun, but don't stay up too late.) Her mother told the girls.
"Maman, nous ne serons pas!"(Mum, we won't! ) Molly said.
"Ugh! Don't speak french, me and Lily can't understand!" Rose said. Lucy and Molly's mum was from Australia, so her English as well as (Molly and Lucy's) had a slight Australian accent. But, when Audrey was eleven she was excepted to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, so she often slipped into french. Lucy, Molly, Victoire, Dom and Louis all spoke French because of their mother's, but Rose and Lily only knew a minimal amount.
"She said that it was no problem, and that we'd better not stay up to late. Molly said that we wouldn't, although we all know that's a lie!" Victoire told Rose and Lily.
"Oh, thanks Vic!"Rose said. "And thank you Auntie Audrey!"
"Of course!" her mum said kissing Rose's head. She walked out the door, as she did so she dimmed the lights. When she was gone, Molly got up and turned the lights back up. Molly picked up her butterbeer and chocolate chip cookie.
"Mmmm...there is nothing like warm butterbeer in the winter inside this igloo!" Molly exlaimed.
"It's not an igloo in here! Your just weird, but your right warm butterbeer is good," Lucy told her, licking some of the foam of her's. She reached over and grabbed a Violet Crumble bar of the tray.
"Can you pass me my butterbeer Lucy goosey?" Lily asked.
"I will if you stop calling me that, and be careful my bedding's white!" Lucy told her, handing her a mug. Lily just rolled her eyes.
"Jeez, I won't! And no, you'll always be Lucy goosey," Lily replied. Lucy sighed, she had the worst nicnames in the world.
"Haha, that's not even the worst nickname you have!" Molly said laughing at her.
"Vous avez le cervau d'un sandwich au fromage!" Lucy retorted.
"Huh?" Lily asked, confused.
"It's a popular french insult. It means 'You have the brain of a cheese sandwich', basically saying Molly's stupid," Dom explained.
"Oh, that's weird!" Rose informed her.
"Hey, I didn't invent the language, I only speak it!" Dom said defensively. Lucy nodded in agreement. Although, she did rather enjoy the humor of french insults. Lucy continued to listen to the buzz of conversation while she finished her butterbeer. When she was done she set it down on her night stand and crawled under her covers. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep.
