The Weasley Child

Chapter 16

"It's just so hard." I hear a sob escape from the room. Out of curiosity I move a little closer to the door, and the next thing I know i'm right outside of it peeking through the crack watching Ron give his mum a hug.

"Of course it's going to be hard, for all of us, he was family." Ron says to his mum as I run my hands through my hair and bite my lip in attempt to keep myself calm. It's hard.

"It's just so much worse seeing her with George." It's not right!"

"I agree mum, believe me. They couldn't be any more wrong for each other."

***************************************************************************************************************

I back away from the door more than a little shocked at the conversation I just witnessed. As soon as I reached the next level I bolted up the remaining stairs to Ginnys room and ran in throwing the door closed behind me. I stand with my back against the door and slide down untip I'm sitting on the floor. I put my head in my hands and resist the urge to rip at my hair. All this stress can not possibly be good for me. Especially not now. Then again, maybe its this house that isn't good for me.

As soon as I think that I know exactly what I have to do. I simply cannot stay in this house one more night, I needed to get out of here, and fast. I run over to the closet door and throw it open  

Grabbing my suitcase from the bottom. In attempt to fill it as fast as I can I begin shoving every object that's mine into the bag.

Once I've fit everything I possibly can into th bag I zip it up and take one last look around the room befire grabbing my wand and turning towards the door. I poke my head out and look around to make sure that no one was around before I begin making my way down the stairs,my bag levitating behind me. After I finally make it down to the bottom floor I open the front door allowing my bags to rest on the ground outside. I turn back to face the kitchen and begin looking for a scrap or parchment and a quill. "accio parchment and quill." I say quietly catching the objects as they fly towards me.

I rip a piece of parchment off and begin a note for Mrs. Weasley: 

Mrs. Weasley, 

I would like to thank you for Everything you have provided me with while I've been staying with you. I don't believe it can ever be repaid. I feel as if I hav overstayed my time though, so I will be returning home. I'll be back eventually to collect the rest of my belongings.  

Love, Kerri.

I rip another piece of parchment, this time for George:

George,

I feel horrible writing this to you, and no im not breaking things off. I just need to get away for a while, so i'll be at my parents. We'll work things out, i know it'll all be okay.

Love, Kerri.

I set down the quill and am about to turn around to leave when I suddenly have another thought. I grab  the last bit of parchment and scribble Ron's name across the top followed by about as many foul-mouthed swear words I can think of.

I fold each note and lay them side by side on the kitchen table before heading out the door. After closing it behind me i drag my trunk a few feet and then stop and begin picturing the train station near my parents house in Cambridge. I feel the tightness in my chest that's associated with apparation and a second later I take in a deep breath as I look around at the train station that is now in front of me.

I check both ways to make sure that nobody noticed anything unusual when I arrived, and once i'm positive that it's safe I head towards the closest phone booth. Reaching into my trunk I grab the bag of muggle money that I keep in there for situations such as this.

Sticking the money in the slot I pick up the phone and hesitate for a moment before dialing the number for my parents house. It's not that I don't love my parents or anything, don't get me wrong. It's simply that they don't understand me. When my family recieved the letter from Hogwarts when I was eleven it caused a sort of, problem in the family. Depending on the type of mood my parents are in, their either so proud of me for being different. They want to know everything about how Hogwarts was and how things in the wizarding world are going on. They'd love when i could show them a little magic. If they weren't in such a great mood, they'd criticize me for being different. I remeber one specific time my mother was crying hysterically and threw a plate at the wall screaming that I was a freak.

The phone didn't even ring twice before my dads deep voice filled the phone. "Beckfort household, how may I help you?"

I chuckle silently to myself before answering, he always wanted us to answer the phone this way saying it was more professional. We all just thought it was crazy. "Dad?" I say quietly realizing I have no idea what i'm supposed to say in this situation.

"Kerri?!" I hear him exclaim, and in the background I can hear my mother asking whose on the phone. When he tells her it's me she begins crying and begging to talk to me.

"Hi dad, tell mum I said hello too. I'm in Cambridge, at the train station. I was wondering if maybe you wouldn't mind picking me up?"

"We'll be right there!" He says before immediatly hanging up the phone. I let out a breath of relief as I hang the phone back on it's hook, that went unusually well. Maybe not visiting or contacting them for a few years made them realize how they chased their only daughter away.

Dragging my luggage behind me I head over to the entrance of the train station to wait for my parents to arrive. Without even thinking, my hand goes to rest upon my tiny baby bump. Suddenly I think of something that had never even crossed my mind until now. How am I going to tell my parents that I am pregnant? Or that I had been engaged? I realize I should have thought of this earlier however, because seconds later I see that tiny brown car that I used to be so familiar with pull up in front of the train station.

I stand up looking down at my outfit to hope that it's not noticeable that i'm pregnant. Thankfully, I don't think I would be able to tell, thank goodness for this dress.

Before the car has even come to a complete stop my mums out of the car and running towards me with her arms open wide. "Kerri!" she shouts wrapping me in a hug. "oh darling, it's been too long. I simply won't allow you to leave us again!" I hug her back as my dad gets out and walks over to join in. "Kerri, sweetie. I hardly reconize you!" He says giving me a peck on the head.

"Oh darling, we've missed you so much." My mom says pulling a tissue out of her purse and dabbing at her eyes with it. I don't even care that she's being over the top at the moment, i'm just thankful that she appears to be in a good mood. Maybe me disappearing for over a year taught them a lesson.

"Hi mom, dad. I've missed you guys." I'm surprised to hear myself say it, but i'm even more surprised that I actually mean it.

"Oh darling we've missed you too. After you left we realized how horrible we had been to you, all we can say is we regret it terribly." My mother says grabbing my hand and leading me towards the car.

"Absolutly" My father adds lifting my trunk into the car. As we all get in the car they continue to talk and I stare out the window as we begin to drive towards my house. This happens every time I return home, so I've learned to tune it out and not believe a word that is said.
