Summers at The Burrow - Fred Weasley

Chapter Eleven - A very late birthday gift

Tonks and I arrived at her house many hours later and we're welcomed with warm mugs of hot chocolate and comfortable beds. Since we traveled all night aunt dromeda gave us the rest of the night and the day to rest up.

When we woke up hours later tonks took me out to the back yard with tall glasses of iced pumpkin juice. The tonks' back yard had a nice sunny spot where they had lawn chairs laid out. We sat down and tonks imedeately jumped into conversation.

"As your only female cousin it's my responsibility to ask you a very important question. Are their any boys you fancy?" She asked giddily.

"Nope." I answered bluntly. "I've been hanging out with boys all year it's kind of hard to see them like that once they show you their other side." I explained.

"Who? I bet they fancy you. Tell meeeeee!" She begged like a puppy. No kidding, my metamorph-magi of a cousin made her eyes super big and adorable as she begged me.

"Geese okay I'll tell you. The people I've been hanging out with are named Fred and George. Their the Weasley twins."

"Oh yea! I went to school with their older brother charlie. Anyway, continue." She tended to interrupt but I don't mind.

"Yeah well their full of nonsense and go round the place reaking havoc but we both know that's my cup of tea as well so we became best friends. We also became friends with a boy named Lee Jordan. He loves Quidditch and is really good at exploding snap. We paid him to give us the answers to homework the whole year so-"

"I'm sorry you paid someone to do your homework?" She asked aghast.

"Yeah, that's what I just said. Anyway there's this other boy-"

"Four boys?!" She shouted in question at the mention of another one.

"Yes. Cedric Diggory. He's a year above me but he comes to talk to me all the time. He gets kind of awkward though and whenever I talk to him Fred gets really annoyed." I explained blushing more and more the longer I talked.

"You've got two of them wrapped round your finger already why am I not surprised." She remarked and I rolled my eyes as my face returned to it's natural shade.

"They said they would write to me. Bob, my owl, has been gone a few days. He didn't return the last day of Hogwarts so I 'spect he knows I'm here." I said.

"Speak of the devil." Tonks said as Bob flew overhead landing on a close line stringing above us. He had a few letters in his claw that he dropped before flying into a glass screen door.

"He's fine. A bit stupid, but fine." I said waving it off as aunt dromeda opened the door and pulled the bird inside.

"Who are they from? What do they say? Are they from your boyfriend's?" Tonks asked to quickly to give her a full reaction to each of them.

"They aren't my boyfriend's." I said as I picked up the first one. It was from Cedric.

Dear Chloe,
I heard we live close by each other. I know your not home right now but if you would owl me when you are available we could perhaps meet up on broomsticks and spend a day together. It's only been a few days since we last spoke but I quite enjoy spending time together. Your friends don't seem to like it though. Anyway, owl me a response soon!

Sincerely,
Cedric

"I'm not reading this aloud to you you'll go sqaking to everyone you know that a boy wants to meet up with me." I said accidentally outing the contents of the letter.

"I would not." She defended though I knew better then to believe her.

The next letter was from the twins. It was quite thin and only contained one piece of parchment in it with messy handwriting only a few people could read - I being one of them.
