The Girl Who Lived ~Book 2~

Chapter 2

Delaney's POV 

August 1994

I quickly finished tying my shoes before standing up and facing my dad and boyfriend. It had been a week since I woke up out of my coma. They kept a me here just incase anything went wrong. I walk over to my father and pull him into a tight hug. "I'm okay dad, I promise. I'll see you after we return from the Quidditch World Cup." I say to him and he nods a little. "I know you'll be okay Delaney. Just be very careful." Dad said to me and I smiled and nodded before walking over to Fred who was standing in front of the floo network fire place. I gave my dad one last big smile before Fred took a hold of some floo powered and yelled; "The Burrow" before throwing it into the ground and with a cloud of green smoke and a whoosh we crashed into the fire place in the Weasley family home. A few members of the family rushed out to see what was going on.  "Oh Fred! Delaney! How nice to see you. How are you feeling?" Mrs Wealsey asks me, I just smiled at her. "I've been better. And you, Molly?" I say sitting down at the table with her. She prepared a pot of water for tea before sitting down "I've been alright, dear. I like your hair that colour." She says, looking at my hair and I smile. We sat and had tea for a while. Talking about a whole bunch of different things. It was late night before Molly spoke up. "Well you best be going to bed. Going to the Quidditch World cup tomorrow, so you better get some rest. You too, Fred." Molly says, looking over at Fred and I giggle. I noticed that a lot of the Weasley has already retired to their beds or rooms at least for the night. 

"Delaney you are welcome to sleep in Fred's bedroom. Just be careful not to wake anyone else up." She says sipping her tea. "Wouldn't dream of it." Fred mutters and I laugh a little as he takes my hand and pulls me up to his room. When we reached the room we seen that George and Makiah were already fast asleep. I smiled and walked over to my bag that I kept here. I grabbed some PJs before making my way to the bathroom to do my nightly routine. When I was done I entered the bedroom again and seen Fred laying down on one side of his bed. I went over and laid next to him. He smiled before placing the blanket on top of me. "Goodnight, Delaney." He kissed me on the cheek. "Goodnight, Fred."

Very early the next morning I was awaken by Hermione came into the room. I didn't even know she was here. "Delaney, Fred, George and Makiah wake up!" She says and I sit up in the bed staring at her. She just shrugs. "Hurry up, Molly says breakfast is ready!" Mione says and one by one we all slowing make our way out of bed. I could hear the Weasley boys fighting over who gets the bathroom first.

 
I quickly mutter a spell and I'm changed out of my pjs and into my outfit, my hair is curled and still teal and I have a light coat of make up on. I smile at myself in my little mirror before walking out of the room and pass the boys who just stare at me cause I'm already ready, before making my way down the stairs to join Molly, Arthur and Hermione for a chat while we wait for everyone else to get ready so we can start breakfast.

About 20 minuets later they all come downstairs. "It's about time." I say to all of them and they all smile innocently. "Well hurry up, eat up" Arthur says and we all start eating the wonderful breakfast Molly made for all of us. After breakfast, we say goodbye to Molly before making our way out the door and we start walking towards the forest near the Weasleys house. It was a few minutes into the journey before someone  finally spoke up. "Ron where are we actually going?" Harry asks Ron. Fred takes my hand in his warm one and we keep walking. "Don't know." Ron said before turning to Arthur. "Hey dad, where are we going?" He asked. "Haven't the foggiest. Keep up!" Arthur answers and we keep walking. I laugh a little at how none of us know where we're going. Minuets later, a figure shows up in this distance. You can clearly tell it's a male. "Arthur!" He shouts. "It's about time, son." I laugh. "Sorry Amos, some of us had a sleeply start." Arthur replies, looking towards Ron and Makiah. Everyone laughs. "This  is Amos Diggory everyone. He works with me at the Ministry. And this strapping young man would be Cedric, am I right?" Arthur says, gesturing to Cedric. "Yes sir." Cedric says and soon after Darcy walks out from behind them. "Oh and this is my daughter, Darcy." Amos says and Darcy smiles before walking towards Makiah and myself.

We had been walking for a while before Amos spoke up. "Yes it's just over there." Amos says and we stop at a old boot sitting alone in the middle of the hill. He explained what to do and We all gathered around it and grabbed onto it, "Ready, after Three... One...Two...Three." Amos says and I quickly grab Harry's hand so his not left behind. We start spinning in midair and Arthur tells us to let go, so I let go and I land on the ground. "Ugh..." I say and I sit up and rub my head and Fred helps me to my feet. We all start walking to the top of the hill and look around. "Well kids, Welcome to the Quidditch World Cup." Arthur says and I smile.
