The Unlikely Quartet

Chapter 14: Stars

27th July, 1992

Georgia placed her trunk, cat carrier and gifts down onto the floor of the Weasley's living room, she then stood and took the house in properly. She had been invited by Mrs Weasley, hence why she'd bought gifts to say thank you. She then lent down and opened the carrier's door to let Elphie out and go find Wanda, the Weasley's beloved cat, and some food. Elphie's meow and chirruping alerted Molly to the fact that their summer visitor had arrived "Georgia? Is that you dear?" She called down from somewhere in the house, in fact she was still getting Bill and Charlie's old room ready for Georgia to sleep there.

Georgia smiled "Hi Mrs Weasley!" She called back with a beaming smile, she then headed towards the stairs so she didn't seem so rude.

Molly walked closer to the banister and smiled "Make yourself at home dear, dinner will go on soon. I'm just finishing up your bed, you'll be sleeping in Bill and Charlie's old room"

Georgia nodded, feeling honoured that she had a room all to herself as she had been pretty convinced she'd be bunking with Ginny. "Can I do anything to help? Maybe I can bring my trunk up?" She offered, as she'd been bought up well.

"Not yet dear, don't wo-H BOYS!" Both females were startled by an explosion coming from somewhere in the middle of the house and Molly yelled out, a little annoyed that they hadn't emerged to greet their friend yet.

Georgia put her foot on the bottom step "May I?" She asked and Molly nodded, smoothing her skirt down "Of course you may, maybe you'll teach them to be more polite. Second floor, room straight up from the stairs" She reminded her with a smile and then disappeared off to go back to Bill and Charlie's old room.

Georgia nodded and headed on up and knocked on the door that was straight up from the stairs "Is it safe?" She asked as she knocked.

Percy poked his head out from his room across the hall and rolled his eyes "Probably not" he said and Georgia looked over her shoulder at him.

"Congratulations, by the way" Percy puffed his chest out "Oh, thank you very much, I know Headmaster Dumbledore made the right choice"

Georgia snorted in response "No, I meant about being able to fit your head out of the door, I was worried it would have gotten too big....."

Right on cue Fred threw open their bedroom door, he and George laughing loudly at the roast she'd just served the older boy before Fred pulled Georgia inside, stuck his tongue out at his brother and then shut it firmly behind the pair of them "Wow Goshawk, I am impressed, we had zero input into that. Well done" He high-fived her and then shoving things off the bed, including George - earning him a yelp and glare from the younger twin - he invited Georgia to sit down.

Georgia looked around the bedroom, it was pretty much how she had expected - with a distinct smell of gunpowder. Quidditch patterned bedspreads on their neatly made beds that were pushed against opposite sides and posters stuck haphazardly to the bright orange walls. "I have missed you both so much!" She gushed, pulling them both into hugs.

"Have you got shorter?" Fred asked, ruffling her hair and causing her to smack him.

"No I have not! You're just getting taller. Which isn't very fair by the way" she huffed.

"Wait until you see Ruby," The smirk fell from George's face as Georgia rounded on him.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"She's grown too" the younger twin shrugged and Georgia groaned before taking Fred up on his offer of sitting down.

"So, what was the reason for a). Not greeting me when I arrived and b). The loud explosion your Mam and I heard?" She asked, a little weary of the answer either may give her.
