We lived in a really big house.
We had that pool in the garden and from there, there was a door leading to our own courtyard. Then there was multiple doors to enter the house.
The door to mum's office was out here, and the door to the boot room as well.
That's the door I chose.
I walked into the boot room, shutting the door behind me, before continuing through the next door, entering the kitchen.
Immediately, I almost walked into a very tall figure.
"Hi Mavis." George grinned at me, stepping aside to allow me to make my way towards the fridge.
I looked back to see Fred as well, sitting at the table while my younger sister sat across from him.
"Eliza?" I asked, obviously confused. "Aren't you supposed to be at that sleepover?"
She sat there, drawing on a white sheet of paper, coloured pencils spread across the table, and Fred was watching.
At the sound of my voice though, Fred looked up and I saw him hesitate when he saw that I was wearing a bathing suit.
"The other girls were being mean." Eliza said. "So I ran away."
"You—" and then I looked to Fred and George for an explanation.
"She managed to find her way to Diagon alley." George explained. "Somehow she managed to get through the wall, and suddenly she walked through the doors to our shop."
"I wasn't crying, even though they will tell you that I was." Eliza said, focused on her drawing, and I looked at Fred who was still staring at me.
"How were the girls being mean?" I asked her, and she shrugged.
"They said some things that made me cry, but it's okay now, because Fred and George gave me a headless hat."
"A... headless hat?"
"It's a hat that makes your head invisible when you wear it." Fred explained.
That was the first thing he had spoken to me directly since I entered the kitchen.
"Oh." I nodded slowly. "Right."
I turned around and opened the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water.
"Well, August is out by the pool." I said and turned back around. "He's still having that bonfire tonight as planned."
"That's why we're here." George grinned, leaning on the kitchen counter while looking at me. "But I am also here, because Freddie told me something a little interesting about last night right here in this kitchen."
And I choked on the water I was currently drinking. That only seemed to amuse George more.
"Mate!" Fred exclaimed, shooting daggers at George with his eyes. "I told you not to bring it up."
