More Than Heart Could Desire 《 A George Weasley Love Story 》

Chapter#18 New Year

ANNA'S POV:

It was New Year next day. I was in my room, just took shower and now I was packing my stuff to go to the Burrow. I packed my clothes and books because I would be leaving for Hogwarts from  the Burrow with the Weasleys.

I was afraid that Mum would not let me go to the Burrow after the day George and Fred visited me but Mum didn't say anything related to that neither she gesticulated that she didn't want me to go instead she was the one to ask me to pack my trunk before hand. The truth is that I was desperately waiting for her to make any signs whether she wanted me to go or not.

I was supposed to leave after lunch. There was still time in lunch so I decided to give Chocolate a bath. Just as I finished giving her a bath Mum called me for lunch. I went downstairs and sat at the table with Mum and Dad.

"Did you pack your trunk?", Mum asked, serving me food.

"Yes Mum, all packed", I answered.

"Everything? Books, clothes?", she started naming things and I kept noding, stuffing my mouth with food. Dad just kept smiling at the pair of us.

"Did you gave Chocolate a bath", she asked.

"Yes Mum. I just gave her a bath", I answered. She noded. She was acting normal and I was so relieved. I smiled at her.

After lunch I changed my clothes and wore my charm bracelet, my new watch and brought Chocolate, Cotton and my trunk downstairs.

"Ready to go?", Dad said, as he saw me coming with my baggage. He was sat on the couch with Mum.

"Yes Dad", I said, a bit breathless as I put my trunk down. Mum and Dad stood and walked over to me.

"Look at you", Dad held my upper arms, looking at me warmly.

"My little girl is growing. I don't like this fact very much that I can't see you grow into a diligent and amicable lady everyday, infront of me", saying this he hugged me and kissed my head. I wrapped my arms around him.

"I love you Dad", I said.

"I love you too darling", He kissed my head again and I pulled away only to be pulled into Mum's tight embrace.

"Take care of yourself. Write back to me when I write to you. Stay safe, remember your promise and behave yourself", she said and kissed the side of my head.

"I will. I love you Mum", I said beaming with love, at her instructions.

"I love you too", she said back with a bright smile.

"Mum, Dad Happy New Year", I wished them advanced New year.

"Happy New Year darling", both said together.

After sending my trunk to the Weasleys through floo powder, I kissed both Mum and Dad on the cheek and stepped into the fireplace. I took a fistful of floo powder and dropping it I yelled "The Burrow" and everything disappeared behind green flames.

When the green flames stopped roaring and view became clear, I was at the Weasleys. My favourite place to be besides my own house.

I was pulled into a long and strong hug by George. He never lets anyone steel the first hug.

"Finally you're here", said George, glee flickering in his eyes. I grinned widely at him.

"Why is that you don't see me when you are in George's arms", Fred grumbled. We both giggled at his words.

"It's nothing like that", I hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek. He smiled brightly at me.

"Where's everyone?", I asked looking around.
