Slytherin Weasley

Chapter 17

As I had predicted, the train ride home was awful. Fred and George spent the ride rubbing it in and shout king at the top of their lungs that Gryffindor is the superior house - clearly wrong but I let them have this just this once.

We met Mum and Ginny on platform 9 and 3/4 after searching through the steam for them, they boys instantly making their victory known and jumping up and down in excitement with Ginny. I turned away, looking for Daph to say goodbye, and walked straight in to Harry.
"Hey wat-... oh hey Harry" I said, reaching out to help steady him.
"Hi" he said hesitantly, "Have a good year?"
"Yeah it was great" I said, "Other than you three trying to get yourselves killed every thirty seconds"
He spluttered, clearly affronted, but I shot him a wink and ruffled his hair as I slid past toward Daph, who I had just spotted a little ways down the platform.
She smiled as she saw me approaching and reached out to pull me into a hug.
"Better make it quick, I just saw mum" she whispered into my ear. "I'm gonna miss you Immy."
"I'm gonna miss you too ya sap" I chuckled "I'll write though and we'll be back before you know it."
"I know" she sniffed and I smiled.
"Oh come on know don't cry Daph" I said and pulled her into a hug again as the harsh click clack of heels made it's self known on the concrete.
"That's my cue I guess, love you" I said, disentangling myslef from her arms and starting to move back over to Fred and George who were still gloating there win.
"Love you too" she called as the steam from the train billowed out, obscuring her and her family from sight.
"Ok Ok enough now" I called. "We know you won, congrats and all that jazz" Fred and George turned to me and smiled.
"Is that a hint of jealousy I detect little sister?" Fred mocked.
"Can't take knowing that we're better than you?" George continued.
"Oh shut up you two" I ground, smacking my fist into George's arm. "You're starting to sound like Percy when he was made prefect."
I giggled at the look of absolute horror on their faces as I moved to grab my trunk and follow Mum as she made her way to the barrier and out into the muggle world.
———————————————
I was sat out in the orchard, soaking up the sun and penning a long letter to Daph that was already over 2 foot long. Fred and George were de-gnoming the garden and their laughter echoed around the trees as they battled to see who could throw the farthest. It was perfect, I was content with a permanent grin etched to my face.
A small scuffing sound to my left pulled me out of my daze, and I looked over to to see Ron making his way over to me. I put my quill down and moved the parchment off my lap as he came and sat next to me.
"Hey" he said, looking at the dirt.
"Hi" I replied.
"Can I.... uhhhhhh ..... there's a thing and I'm not really sure......" he trailed off and looked at me before looking down again. I waited, giving him time to collect his thoughts. "You remember Harry?" He asked "Harry Potter."
I nodded and hummed an assertive as he continued. "Well I promised I'd write to him over the summer and I have but he hast written back at all and I'm worried something has happened." He finished all in a rush.
I took my time in answering him, thinking over the options.
"Have you mentioned this to mum or dad?" I asked keeping msg face impassive.
He shook his head.
"Good good" I said. "Bill, Charlie, Percy?"
He shook his head again.
A wicked smile crept on to my face.
I stood up and asked "You said little whinging right?"
"Yes that's where the muggles house is, but what's that got to do with it?" He asked hurrying to keep up with me as I walked back toward the house.
"Oh uh..... just thinking out loud" I said and pushed open the gate to the garden, where Fred and George were still standing.
"Hey guys" I called and jerked my head up, signalling to come up stair with Ron and I.
Once in our bedroom, Fred and George looked at me quizzically and George asked "what are you planning Immy?" And Fred smiled.
"Something good I can tell"
"Well boys, Ickle Ronnie kins has a bit of a situation" I said and gestured for him to explain. Once he was done they all looked me expectantly and I just grinned, reaching up to the top bunk and under my pillow to pull out a rusted car key with peeling blue paint.
"Who's up for a little rescue mission?"
Ron stood there mouth agape and eyes wide, "how in the bloody hell did you get those?" He asked but I only smiled and tapped the side of my nose.
Fred and George were practically vibrating with their excitement.
"Hell to the yes" they both said and then George added "but only if I can drive" while making grabby motions toward the keys.
"Uh uh" I said and slipped them into my jeans pocket, "we need to plan first. Obviously this needs to be done at night. And tonight for that matter before Dad notices I have the keys."
George nodded and added "We'll have to be careful, Mum will go nuts if she find out" Fred and I nodded as he continued, "midnight I think. Not too late but late enough, and we should be back before dawn"
Ron stood there flabbergasted, looking between us in shock.
"Ron are you coming?" I asked and he closed his mouth.
"Of course I am. He's my best friend." He said resolutely. We smiled and Fred mussed his hair.
"Welcome to the team little bro"

——————————————————-

The yard was dark and the only sound came from the pigs sniffling in their pen. Fred, George and I stood by the gate leading to garage waiting for Ron to show.
"He better hurry up" I said "my nose is cold"
"Shhhhh, I hear something" Fred whispered and the back door swung open and Ron stumbled out, trying to pull his left shoe on. I shook my head and softly called,
"Come on Ron! We're loosing time."
I turned on my heel and swiftly marched toward the garage where Fred had pulled the doors open and George had started the old Ford Anglia. I pulled the passenger door open and slid into the middle of the front bench as Ron climbed into the back. George slowly eased forward and waiting for Fred to shut the doors and hop into next to me.
"Come on" I said "before we get caught" and George drove off down the Lane away from the burrow.
After about 10 minutes he asked "are we far away enough do you think?"
Fred nodded silently and we watched as the car slowly rose off of the ground and into the clouds. We're we're going to rescue Harry Potter!

So here it is guys sorry it's really late, but hope you enjoyed it.
