Annie's POV
It's New Years Eve and Bill is expected to arrive today. Ginny and I are in the lounge. She is teaching me how to play Gob Stones. It's like Marbles, the principal difference being that every time a point is conceded. The winning stone squirts a foul-smelling liquid into the loser's face. Lucky I was always good at marbles.Ginny gets squirt for a second time and she groans.
"How are you so good at this?" she asks me.
"Not a lot of games at the group home. One of the girls had marbles and we played with them a lot" I tell her.
"Did you know there's Gob stones clubs at Hogwarts, along with national teams" she tells me.
"Interesting, maybe I'll be a gob stones champion in future" I say.
"Yeah and I'll be a quidditch champion" she states. We smile and laugh. When we hear a door open. "That could be Bill" she says.
"Tie?" I ask even though I am in the lead.
"Nah, you win" she tells me. "Lets go see Bill" she states and we put the stones away. We race to the entrance hall to see Charlie and the other two greeting another man. Like Charlie he had long hair and like all Weasleys it's red. He has an earring with a fang dangling from it. He is wearing clothes that, in 's my opinion, would not be out of place at a rock concert. Along with dragon hide boots.
Ginny runs over and gives him a hug. "Whoa Ginny, what happened to you?" he asks wrinkling his nose.
"Lost to Annie in gob stones" Ginny tells him.
"Yes Annie, where is my new cousin/sister?" he asks.
"Here, hello" I say waving. He smiles and walks over giving me a hug.
"Great to meet you, I have a present for you" he states. He takes a wicker pet carrier from Charlie. He places it on a table and opens it taking out a cat. "An Egyptian Mau, got him from elderly muggle. Only two years old, she couldn't handle his adventurous nature. Said he need a younger owner" he states.
"What's his name?" I ask as I take the bronze coloured cat with spots.
"Mugsy, but you can change it if you want" he tells me.
"No, I like Mugsy" I say smiling and the cat purrs. "He likes it too" I state. "Can I really keep him Aunt Molly? Uncle Arthur?" I ask.
"Of course you can" Uncle Arthur assures me.
"But he'll be your responsibility dear and I won't have him chasing my chickens" Aunt Molly states.
"Don't worry. I'll teach him to chase the gnomes instead" I assure her. "Thank you Bill, I love him" I say smiling. As Mugsy perches himself on my shoulder. We go to the living room where Aunt Molly serves tea.
"So how is Egypt? I hope the goblins aren't working you to hard" Uncle Arhtur states.
"No, it's great. I get to go into the field a lot. You guys should visit me sometime" he states.
"We'll do one summer, bring the whole family" Aunt Molly assures him. "We'll start to save when we return home" she states.
"No rush" Bill assures her. "Gives me time to plan for your visit" he states.
"Isn't it hot in Egypt?" I ask.
"Oh it can get very hot" he states.
"I don't like hot weather" Ginny states.
"Me neither" I grumble and the adults chuckle. "Though I have always wanted to see the Nile" I state.
"I've always wanted to see the tombs" Ginny adds.
"I'll be sure to include them in the schedule" Bill assures us.
"And a camel ride" Ginny and I say together.
"Sure thing" he says with a chuckle. They all catch up and Bill starts to tell me about his time at Hogwarts. Charlie had already told me about his.
Soon it was dinner time. "Mum can we stay up for the fireworks?" Ginny asks.
"No, straight to bed after dinner" she states. Ginny and I pout. "Then we'll wake you at ten to midnight so you can see the fireworks" she adds. Ginny and I cheer high fiving. We enjoy dinner before going to bed.
(Time skip)
Bill woke us up and Charlie gave us hot chocolate. We all sit outside on chairs. Looking up at the sky. Seeing who can spot the most constellations. Which I won. We then started to make up constellations. Until the count down.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!" The fireworks go off. "Happy New Years!" we shout. We all hug each other. Aunt Molly lets Ginny and I stay up for another twenty minutes. Before sending us back to bed, telling us to brush our teeth again. We do so and I fall in a peaceful dreamless sleep.
