The Secret Riddle

7: Why her?

It's now December and I rub my face. Fred and George asked me to stay with their family for Christmas and I asked mum and dad, they said yes. I go have a shower. I slide on black skinny ripped jeans, a black t-shirt and a red coat. I loosely curl my hair and do light make up. I pull on boots. I grab my trunk and go down to the Great Hall. I have breakfast and George and Fred walk inside. They sit down. "Lucy is coming with Charlie" said Fred. I look at him. I nod. I sigh and look around. 

We stand up and go grab our trunks and walk to the train. We sit down and I yawn. "Bill told us, you like Charlie" said George. I nod. "Don't tell him!" I said. "We won't" said Fred and George. Bill walks in and settle down. "How are you?" asked Bill, leaning forward to look at me. "Good." I said. "That's good" said Bill. Charlie pops his head in. "Hey, mum just wrote to me, Lucy has to share with Aspen and Ginny" said Charlie. "Right..... well that won't work. I'll have a chat with her." said Bill. I look out the window. "Why won't it work?" asked Charlie. "For reasons that are not for you, Charlie" said Bill, looking at him. "Fine, whatever" said Charlie, walking away. 

"Mum will hopefully understand and put her somewhere else. Mum doesn't like her either" said Bill. "Right, she has good taste" I said, smiling. Once we get to Kings Cross, we grab out stuff and walk out. Mrs. and Mr. Weasley are standing there with Ron and Ginny. Percy should be out now, soon. "You must be Aspen! Delighted to meet you!" said Mr. Weasley. "You too, Mr. Weasley" I said. We go to the car and we all squeeze in. 

Once we make it to their house, we go inside. Bill takes his mum out. Mrs. Weasley walks back in. "Lucy, dear..... you will be sharing a room with the ghoul. Don't worry, he will stay by himself in the bathroom, he'll leave when people use the toilet, sorry about this but we think it's for the best" said Mrs. Weasley. "Sure" said Lucy. I smile and look away. 

Ginny brings me to her room and we go inside. I unpack and Ginny looks at me. "Your hair is so black, Aspen" said Ginny. "It is" I said, smiling. I look around. "Quidditch" I said. "Yeah, I love Quidditch" said Ginny. I smile and look out the window. "The view is so pretty!" I said. "I love it and being the only girl, I don't share a room unless they bring guests, like you!" said Ginny, smiling. 

We go down and help Mrs. Weasley make dinner. We chat and smile. We serve dinner and sit down Charlie and Lucy are chatting. I rub my face and dig in. Once we finish, we clean up and go to the sitting room. We settle down and talk. I go to bed with Ginny at 10. We instantly fall asleep.

Why her? Why Lucy?
