•Chapter 9: Chat with George

Ariana's POV

I led George out the room to the kitchen and sat down at the table. I knew George was behind me as I heard his footsteps. He pulled a chair out opposite me and sat down. We sat in silence for a second before we both tried to speak at the same time.
"George-"
"Have I-"
I smiled at him and motioned for him to speak.
"Have I done something wrong?".
"Why would you think that?".
"I don't know, you disappeared for a few days after the thing with your dad..." he trailed off. I shook my head and let out a little laugh, "No, you've done nothing wrong. It's my dad I've been avoiding" I say adding in a lie. Well not a complete lie.

"I kinda heard him threaten you". He face changed for worry to realisation after hearing me say that.
"Oh?".
"Yeah. I'm sorry about my dad he can be quite intense if he wants to be". He nodded at that, "No kidding". I laughed at that.

"I just wanted to apologise for my dad and what he said and I thought you prefer to talk about this in private so I didn't invite questions for everyone else" I said.
"Thank you" he said smiling at me.
"No problem" I say back looking into his eyes. We sit in silence for a moment before we hear Mrs Weasleys shouts from upstairs. We both look that way as we hear, "If I find you chucking dust on your brother again you will be in big trouble".

"Fred" we said at the same time. We both got up and headed back out the kitchen and to the room everyone else is in. We walk in to see Harry, Ron and Hermione dusting the shelves, Ginny and Mrs Weasley wiping the windows and Fred sat on the sofa whistling while dad is sweeping the floor. When we walk in it attracts the attention of dad and Fred. Fred smiles while dad's eyes go straight to George. I roll my eyes and push George towards Fred and the discarded brooms. I motion for dad to come over. He walks over and I say, "No more threatening George, nothing is happening so just back off". He opens his mouth like a fish a few times before sighing and saying, "fine". I smile and hug him. He hugs me back before going back to sweeping.
"So what can I help with?" I say to Mrs Weasley.

That evening a few people from the order had joined us for tea and the main topic of conversation was Harry's hearing at the ministry tomorrow. At one end of the table was the adults talking to Harry about tomorrow and what he should do but at the other end the topic of conversation was about me and dad.

"What's the weirdest thing Sirius has done?" Fred asked.
"He got drunk once and he..." I began before my dad barked from the other end of the table, "Ariana Black finish that sentence and their will be trouble".
"But..." I said but he glared at me.
"Fine" I sighed and leaned back on my chair and crossed my arms. I gave everyone the 'what can you do' look before the conversation started again. The conversation moved to Hogwarts.

"I wonder who they have got as the defence teacher this year?" Ginny asked the group.
"God I hope it's someone good. Like less sinister that Moony and better than Lockhart" Ron said and everyone made noises of agreement.
"I wish I went to Hogwarts" I said leaning onto my elbows.
"I wish you did too. You would have been in our year and I think that we would make a great pranking force" George said next to me. I smiled up at him before turning to listen to Ron telling me about professor Lockhart. We spent the rest of the night talking about Hogwarts and the things everyone has done there. We were laughing at the thought of Snape dressed in a dress when Mrs Weasley shouted to us, "Ok. Everyone to bed, Harry needs his rest for tomorrow and we don't need the rest of you making noise".
"Yeah-" Fred said before pulling out his wand, George following. One second they were sat next to me and the next appearing next to their mum.
"-no noises people" George finished. I laughed with everyone and George winked me. Mrs Weasley pushed them towards the door and the rest of us followed, except Harry who was held back by my dad.

We walked up the stairs, with the twins making noise all the way up just the annoy their mum. At each floor people disappeared to their rooms until we were at the floor below mine. I started walking up the stairs when I realised the twins were still following me. I turned to find them grinning at me, "what you doin'? Your room is on this floor".
"We wanted to hang out with you" Fred said before pushing past me and heading upstairs into my room. I rolled my eyes and looked at George.
"Come on love" he said taking my arm and pulling me to my room. We walk in to find Fred lying on my bed, "your beds really comfy".
"Yeah. I know" I said slightly smiling at him.
"Is it?" George said and jumped on next to his brother. I ran my hand through my hair, grabbed my wand from my boot and pointed it at them.
"Get up" I said with a jokey tone. I wouldn't do anything to really harm them it's just my bed is mine and everyone loves their bed.
"You wouldn't dare" Fred said stretching his arms behind his head.
"Are you forgetting who my dad is?" I said twirling my wand. Fear filled his eyes and he grabbed his wand, "Bye" and apparated out my room. I moved my wand to George.
"Come on love, you wouldn't hurt me".
"Try me" raising an eyebrow. I could see on his face that he was weighing his odds. He slowly reached for his wand by his side. I waved my wand and blue sparks flew towards his. He jumped before disappearing. I lowered my wand and shook my head. Suddenly my wand was pulled from my hand and I was turned to become face to face with George.
"Say your sorry".
"What?".
He raised my wand over his head and repeated himself, "say your sorry". I rolled my eyes and sat down on the edge of my bed. He realised I wasn't playing his game, "oh come on. Stop being boring".
"I'm not being boring, I just don't feel like jumping up and down for a wand when I can do this" I moved my hand up and moved it around which causes him to drop both his and my wand in shock.
"You shocked me" he said in disbelief. I nodded and picked up my wand.
"You are like your dad" he said picking up his wand, "g'night Ari". He turned on the spot before disappearing. I smiled where he was standing before turning to get ready for bed.
