Mischief Managed

23

I woke up the next morning exhausted and upset still. Percy had laid me down and wrapped his arms around me sometime during the night so I wriggled out of his grasp and went to the bathroom to make myself look presentable. I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair then put on light makeup to cover up the dark circles under my eyes. I walk out of my bathroom and see Percy awake and sitting on my bed. I go and kiss his head then leave the room to get some breakfast. I walk out of the room and down the stairs to see Molly cooking in the kitchen. 

"Good morning deary. How are you feeling?"

"I'm stressed, upset, and just need some good food and coffee." Molly hands me a cup of coffee just the way I like it and after a bit she hands me a plate of waffles with eggs and bacon. I eat my food and drink my coffee and once I finish everyone else comes down for breakfast. I walk up to my room and get dressed for the visitation. Once I'm dressed I walk out and see everyone else is ready to go. We all go to the funeral home and the Weasleys leave me for a few moments to be alone with aunt Liza and uncle Tim.

"Hey guys..I'm really sorry for everything. I'm sorry for never spending enough time with you. I'm sorry for leaving for Hogwarts every year for the past 5 years. I'm sorry for not telling you I love you every day. I'm sorry for not writing to you more while I'm at school. I'm sorry that you guys couldn't have kids of your own because you were taking care of me." I kiss a hand of each of theirs and realize I'm crying. "I love you both so much. I'm going to make you proud. I promise." I then just sit there and cry by myself until I open the door and cry in the first person's arms that I see. I then feel more arms wrap around me and rub my back. When I finally calm down I realize I ran into Charlie's arms and he kisses my head and wipes my tears. I clean myself up slightly and get ready for people to start coming in. 

~4 hours later~

After the last person leaves I thank the funeral director and we discuss the itinerary for tomorrow and then a lawyer walks up to me after the funeral director leaves. 

"Good evening Miss Foxe. I would like to discuss with you your aunt and uncle's last will and testament. Could we go to my office?" 

"Sure Mr....?"

"Welsh. Harold Welsh. You can bring someone with you if you wish." I look back and see everyone point to Percy because he loves legal things like this and he nods. Percy and I go with Mr. Welsh while the others hug me and say they will be at my house and dinner will be ready when I get there. 

Percy and I get into a car with Mr. Welsh and drive to his office. Once we get there Percy and I walk in and sit in front of a large oak desk while Mr. Welsh sits opposite of us.

"Miss Foxe, according to this document you have been left with everything. The house, the fortune, the cars, everything." I gasp.

"I understand you're still in school so I could easily help you figure out what to do with all this if you would like." I nod and for the next hour and a half I tell Mr. Welsh I want the house sold and that money put into the account that is now mine. One car will be sold and I will keep the other one. All the clothes of my aunt and uncle's will be donated to charity. I get all the pictures and albums that are in the house as well as special artifacts that I will take with me when I leave to live with the Weasleys. Also all the furniture and and appliances will stay in the house because they have no sentimental value or worth to me or my family. After talking with Mr. Welsh Percy and I go back to the house and go straight to bed...it had been a long long day.
