Know It All

Chapter eight: Year of the moon

Sadly and Thankfully summer had to come to an end. So just like last year, Aurora set off for Diagon alley but this time she was walking to the book shop when she bumped into Fred and George. "Aurora?!"

They screamed in unison. "Fred, George! Gosh, I missed you knuckleheads. How are you?"

She pulled them into a hug as Violet joined Aurora had flinched and the twins noticed so when they all pulled back they questioned. "Hey, Vi. We're good Roars. What about you? Dursleys being mean again?"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. But it will be nice to get away from the Dursleys. You know, get back home. Also, Vi, have you seen Wendy or Cedric? They said they would be here today as well."

Violet faked being offended asking "Am I no longer good enough for you Aurora. No, no don't worry I see the light I'll just go walk into it."

The twins laughed, nudging her, squealing "What about us?"

"Oh yeah. Them too, not good enough as well?"

Neither of them could keep their straight faces anymore and burst out laughing. A lot of people were looking at the four who were almost on the floor as they heard those familiar taps of the last two members running along to see what their ejits were falling over about. "Hey, guys, what's going on here? Also Fred get off the floor."

Cedric said as Wendy ran to the girls grasping them into a tight hug. Soon the parents and siblings were standing around the reuniting group and Mr Diggory cleared his throat asking for an introduction "Oh right Dad. This is George and Fred Weasley, Violet Baxhorse, Wendy Todensmith and the legendary Aurora Potter."

Aurora hit him over the head sending a glare his way, to which his father chuckled. She turned to his father, sending him an innocent smile and placing her hand in front for him to shake "Lovely to meet you, Mr Diggory."

He shook her hand and the rest of the group. "I'm glad to see you've made such good friends already. Remind me of my days in Hogwarts. Gosh, that was fun!"

The adults agreed and then Julia, Violet's mother, turned to Aurora saying with a soft chuckle "I think your father and his friends had the most fun."

Aurora smiled remembering the fun she had with her Father and Uncles. "I assure you it didn't stop after Hogwarts. I still remember them goofing off. I was always so happy in that house."

Some of the adults shared concerned looks and then Molly turned to Aurora as Wendy explained it to her parents who had accompanied her. "You remember it? The house? The family? That night?"

The last part was hushed although to not gather too much attention. Aurora just smiled at the adults. "Yes, a lot more than you would expect from a two-year-old. But I'm grateful I got to know what that sort of family was like or else I wouldn't have been able to recognize it in these guys so quickly."

The guys all awed and pulled her into a hug as they moved away Wendy and Cedric teased "You called us family. You stuck with us forever... Muahahaha!"

All the kids burst out laughing and slowly they moved from where they were to finish their shopping altogether. When they were in a book shop Violet and her parents went in a different direction Aurora finished before the others and went to find Violet. Her family and she were having a rather loud discussion. In fear that Violet would be hurt, Aurora went to interrupt it and walked up to them "What you talking about. Seems controversial."

The family looked at her, Mother and Daughter rushing to say "Nothing."

Wanting to move on anyway but the Father looked at her and said in a calm manner "Werewolfs."
