Willow

P.26

Willow sits in her bed, Kol playing exploding snap with her as Davina plaits her hair "Ha, I win again!" Willow grins. "I swear your cheating." Kol tells his daughter. "Or you just suck." Willow smiles, Kol playfully pouting. "We come baring food!" Blaise smiles, walking in with Hermione, Draco, Theo and Marcus behind him. Willow giggles as the boys put the food on her bed "Did you leave any food in the kitchens?" Davina jokes, tying Willow's hair. "We wanted to make sure Willow had enough to eat. Besides, we're helping her eat it." Draco smiles. Smiling, Willow starts eating the food with the boys and Hermione "Low, we heard what happened. Are you alright?" Cedric asks as he at the Weasley twins walk in. "I'm alright, just a bit tired." Willow smiles. "Good, who else would help us with our master plans?" Fred asks. "I know, I'm good." Willow grins. "Master plans?" Davina asks. "Secret master plans." Willow and the twins tell her. "She's all grown up, Freddie. She's talking like us." George tells his brother. "I'm so proud." Fred tells his twin, putting a hand to his heart. "You've corrupted her." Theo tells the twins playfully. "With my family? Please, I've always been corrupted." Willow grins. "Don't forget that." Kol nods in agreement, ruffling Theo's hair.

Theo pouts and tries to fix his hair as Madam Pomfrey walks over "Miss Mikaelson, how are you feeling?" she asks. "Better, just a bit tired." Willow smiles. "That's to be expected. You should be out of here tonight, I just want you to stay here for a bit longer so I can keep an eye on you." Madam Pomfrey tells her. "Thank you Madam Pomfrey." Willow nods. Davina smiles and kisses Willow's temple "I'm going to go and use the Floo to tell your Aunts and Uncles that you're awake, if I don't I think Klaus and Caroline will storm the castle." she tells her. "Too late." Kol chuckles, Klaus and Caroline walking in moments late. "Aunt Care, Uncle Nik!" Willow smiles. "Willow! How are you feeling?" Caroline asks, hugging her niece and kissing the top of her head. "I'm feeling better. Just a bit tired." Willow assures them with a smile, hugging Klaus back. "You better be alright and no overdoing it again." Klaus tells her. Willow smiles and goes to respond but is cut off by Caroline checking the boys and Hermione over "Are you all eating enough? I don't want you getting sick and ending up in one of these beds yourself." she tells them. "We are Aunt Care, promise." they tell her. "Good." Caroline smiles. Cedric smiles slightly "I need to get going, I've got a letter to send. Hope you feel better soon Low." he tells her. "Thanks Ced. Hopefully I'll see you before the holidays." Willow smiles. "If not I'll write." Cedric tells her, giving her a hug before leaving.

"How did the Quidditch match go?" Willow asks the twins. "We lost." they respond. "Aww, too bad." Willow tells them. "We came second though." Fred tells her. "Second, to us." Marcus smiles. "We won the cup?" Willow asks excitedly. "You got it. Couldn't have done it without our youngest Chaser though." Marcus tells her, making her go red. "We'll organise a party for the team to celebrate at ours in the summer. You deserve it after all the hard work you put in. I need to talk to Rebekah about the decorations, obviously we'll go with a green and silver theme." Caroline begins. Klaus smiles fondly at his wife "It taking you back to your High School committee days, Love?" he asks. "Please, I always throw the best parties. When you weren't gate crashing them." Caroline playfully glares. "I don't think she'll ever forgive you for homecoming, Uncle Nik." Willow smiles. "I apologised, besides, I got to kill Mikael thanks to it." Klaus tells his wife. "After flooding the gym and moving it to Tyler's place." Caroline points out. Willow and her friends smile as they continue to eat. "This is better than a movie." Blaise grins. "or a tv show." Hermione nods in agreement.

Davina and Kol chuckle slightly as they begin eating the food with the kids, watching Klaus and Caroline bounce back and forth "You looking forward to seeing this on a daily basis?" Kol asks Marcus. "Wait... what?" Marcus asks. Willow grins and looks at her parents "This mean what I think it means?" she asks. "Yeah, we got the paper work sorted out at the weekend. All we need is for Marcus to sign it too, if he want to that is." Davina smiles. "If I want to what?" Marcus asks. "Davina and I have sorted everything out so you can come and live with us, we can either adopted you or foster you. It's up to you though." Kol tells him. "Don't feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to, but the option is there." Davina adds. "You mean it?" Marcus asks with a smile. "Of course we do, Marcus. We wouldn't have done it if we didn't." Davina smiles. "I'd really like to be adopted by you." Marcus tells them bashfully. "And we'd love to adopted you." Kol tells him. "Welcome to the family." Klaus tells him. "I've got a brother!" Willow squeals, jumping on Marcus. "And, I've got a sister." Marcus smiles, making sure that Willow doesn't fall off the bed.

That evening, Willow walks with her friends into the entrance hall "Just think, our first year is over now. Next year we'll be second years." she smiles. Hermione smiles "You think that next year will be quieter?" she asks. "Probably not, have you met my family? If something doesn't happen here, guaranteed something will happen at home." Willow chuckles. "So, what is happening to Flamel?" Theo asks. "He and his wife are getting their affairs in order, apparently they have enough elixir to so that." Harry responds. "My family will probably be going to the funeral, I know Uncle Elijah, Uncle Nik, Aunt Rebekah and dad most definitely will be. They knew him when he was young, like the same age as Remus, young." Willow tells them. "It's sad really. Being alive all this time and dying because of someone's selfish actions." Hermione remarks, making the others nod. "Come on, we better get to the end of year feast. Are we all still sitting together tomorrow on the train?" Ron asks. "Yeah." everyone nods. "Oh yeah, Harry. Mum and Dad said that if you have any problems with the Dursley's that we'll come get you. That includes if we don't hear from you for some reason. My Aunts and Uncles agreed too." Willow smiles. "Thanks Wills." Harry smiles as they all head into the Great Hall.
