"Egypt was so warm, Mionie I literally felt like I was being frazzled by the sun." I explained to her all about my family trip to Egypt, maybe excluding the part where I fell off a camel.

We were all sat in the leaky cauldron, waiting for Harry to come downstairs. Crookshanks purrs in her lap as I also start stroking her and she flops over to receive belly rubs. This cat is the fluffiest most adorable cat ever, except Ron would very much disagree. He's been glaring at the cat all morning, shifting away from it whenever it came near and now, the cherry on top, Crookshanks wanted to play with Scabbers. I mean I don't blame Shanks, Scabbers is the most ugliest pet I've ever seen, I wanted to leave it in Egypt.

"I'm warning you, Hermione! Keep that bloody beast of yours away from scabbers or I'll turn it into a tea cozy." Ron was extremely annoyed and now was pretty much cradling his rat.

"He's a cat, Ronald! What do you expect? It's in his nature!" Hermionie chimes as Crookshanks is now hissing furiously at Ron. As she should, good cat.

Zoneing out of their conversation I look around the room noticing how my parents aren't back yet, Merlin's beard they only went for a few things in Diagon Alley! As I move my way around the room I notice Harry stood at the top of the stairs watching Mionie and Ronald bicker. I smile at him and wave, noticing him now walk down the stairs to come greet us. Harry looked different from when I last saw him. His hair was shaggy and he had definitely grown up over summer.

"Gemma!" He smiles at me pulling me into a hug. "Have they been at this all morning then?" Chuckling looking over to Hermionie and Ron.

"- It's all right Crookshanks. You just ignore the mean little boy..."

Sensing an audience watching them both, they turn around looking at me and Harry staring at them in amusement.

"Harry!"

-

"Egypt, What's it like?" Harry asked, looking at the clipping from the paper. All of us stood infront of the pyramids, my hair so puffy from the heat, I looked like Crookshanks.

"Brilliant, It's got loads of old stuff. Mummies, death masks, tombs -"

" You know the ancient Egyptians of the Nile river delta worshipped the cat goddess Bast" Hermionie says as Ron stares her down. I cough and we turn back to Harry as he just sits there awkwardly.

Ron got cut off telling Harry about his new wand as the rest of the family arrive with all of the purchases. Ginny comes over to me and sits down. Being the only girls of the family, we stick together. She was my little sister and I would do anything for her, unlike Ron being my twin brother, i wouldn't do as much. Not that i hate the guy, just he is annoying, irritating and gets on my right nerves. I guess that's what twins are for. He always hates me calling him Ronald for starters and he hates that i'm older than him, by about 10 minutes as his head was too fat.
