DEDICATED TO DEEK_WINTERS : THE ONLY PERSON WHO SEEMS TO LIKE THIS FEOTUS STORY ;D
After a bit of awkward silence Tonks stood up and started to talk in a hushed voice with her friends. I kind of floated there awkwardly for a minute before she turned back to face me. "Do you know Dumbledore?" I smiled, remembering his and my past conversations; with him telling me how he would explain my past someday. "Yeah , I met him years ago,"
"Well I think we should go pay him a visit," I started to nod probably too eagerly "do you have any stuff with you here?" My backpack.
"I'll go grab it, give me a second," I then jumped out of the pool , got my bag, and ran back to see Tonks holding out her arm out for apparition. I looked around the bathhouse for a moment, sentimentally wishing this wouldn't be the last time I stood here, and took a deep breath whilst latching myself onto her arm. This was the first time I'd apparated in at least 4 years, and ended up with me on a grassy floor, gasping for air.
"You alright bud?" Tonks asked while helping me up. I nodded, trying to properly regain my breath. "Ohhhh" she then said noticing my bloody face and broken nose, "I'll fix that up for you in a minute."
"Thanks, but where are we?" I questioned looking up at a shoddy yet homely building enshrouded in the deep blue nights sky. "The Weasley household." She announced with a large grin.
"Is Dumbledore here?" She returned my question with a nod and then strode towards the doorway.
"Hold on!"
"Yes?" She questioned with a chuckle at my random outburst.
Gesturing to my two piece, "Do you have a shirt or anything? I may have left my only outfit behind"
"You can have mine," she handed me her light blue shirt leaving her in just a T-shirt,
"Are you sure?" She then nodded and proceeded to the wooden door.I chased after her , buttoning my shirt up as I ran. She knocked on it twice before a jolly red-headed woman swung the door open and hugged the life out of Tonks. "Nymphadora!" She cried, Tonks grumbled jokily and replied "I told you to call me Tonks , Molly!" She laughed.
"Oh , I am sorry, I do it all the time.""Is Dumbledore still with you?" She lowered her voice "I've found Aphrodite."
Why was everyone obsessed with me all of a sudden! No one had ever given me a second glance after I had escaped that place, now all of a sudden people are searching for me, I don't have a clue where this day is going but I hope it's going to end well.
This Molly woman cautiously lifted up a finger and pointed at me with furrowed eyebrows. Tonks nodded, I was getting slightly sick of being ignored . "Sooo..?" I dragged on ,whilst kicking the ground lazily. Her eyes lit up and a grin overtook her face, "Oh I'm sorry, come in!" I started walking through the door until she stopped me , putting her hands on my shoulders, "Oh my gosh! You're covered in blood! What happened?"
Before I could answer, the man who I remember as Dumbledore appeared by my right, interrupting our conversation; "So glad you could make it Aphrodite! Join us for stew?" He guided a worried looking Molly towards her chair at ,what looked like the family table then conjured up another two chairs for us. I sat down along with Molly, Tonks and Dumbledore but then realised another 6 chairs were around the table, unoccupied.
"Molly?"
"Yes dear?"
"How many people live here?"
"Well to come we still have..." She got up and walked to the cooker before continuing, "my husband Arthur, our sons Percy, Fred, George and Ron, as well as our only daughter Ginny."As if on cue , a red-haired man walked through the door , noticed me at their table, and sent a confused glance towards his wife. "Aphrodite" was all she said and it seemed to be enough , as he immediately came and generously shook my hand. "Good to meet you," we both said at the same time before sharing a small laugh. He sat down at the head of the table and started a conversation with Dumbledore and Tonks.
I had millions of questions running through my mind and I just wanted to scream them out at once , but alas I hadn't eaten in a while and my stomach was overruling my brain. I was practically drooling for this stew, whatever it contained.
Suddenly I could hear a pair of footsteps rushing down the stairs followed by another 3. A smart , slightly snooty looking boy came down the stairs first stopping 3 meters before me, resembling a rabbit caught in the headlights. He was immediately followed by two laughing guys also stopping in line with their brother. "Mum! Fred and George threw a fake spider on me, AGAI-!" Finally another ginger ran down and also looked paralyzed as he saw me at his table.
Granted, a girl with wet hair , damp skin, that was almost half naked and had a mashed up face sitting in their dining room was bound to be a surprise. But they were still standing there... staring.
"Boys!" Molly scolded walking towards the 4 teens "Introduce yourself and don't stare" she added giving the two on either sides a small smack round the head. First the smartly dressed boy walked up to me taking my hand and giving a firm, business like handshake , "Percy Weasley, a pleasure to meet you."
Next up were the two twins (I guessed they were ,they looked exactly alike) they picked up one of my hands each and planted a cheesy kiss on top "George" "Fred" they said in unison. I slightly blushed due to their gentlemanly actions.Finally came the boy who looked about my age , he timidly walked up to me and gently shook my hand; "Ron"
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Aphrodite." I smiled back at them, already getting a bit distracted by the scent of stew filling my nose.
"WHO LEFT THEIR UNDERWEAR ON THE BATHROOM FLO-" A girl who assume was Ginny stormed down the stairs , stopping in her tracks when her gaze flicked between Tonks, Dumbledore and me. "Sorry , I forgot we had guests" She blushed.
Trying to save her from embarrassment, I walked to her and offered my hand, "Aphrodite." She gladly accepted my handshake "Ginny," before she looked me up and down, her eyes resting on my legs. I then remembered I was only wearing a swimsuit, my top half covered by Tonks' shirt. I shuffled back to my seat , looking up to see the twins smirking at me. I gave a sarcastic one back.When Mrs.Weasley placed the steaming bowl of goodness onto the table , I think my eyes literally popped out of my skull. "You hungry?" Mr.Weasley chuckled.
"I honestly can't remember the last time I ate." I remarked as my stomach grumbled. After a brief amount of silence Molly spoke up; "Help yourself everyone!" I watched as she handed the ladle to George, he looked at me for a moment and put the ladle back into the pot. "I think she needs it more than me mum," he laughed and tried to move the pot closer too me but failed due too it's heat. "Ow!" He sucked his finger trying too soothe his burn.
"I got it," I said before using wandless magic to collect everyone's plates up and dish an equal amount of stew to everyone's plate. Everyone , with full plates in front of them, looked at me in awe. "When did you learn wandless magic?" Ginny asked. "Yeah? And how come you can do it outside of school?" Fred questioned further. "I don't know, I've never really had a wand." I admitted. Ginny who was sitting on my right then put her hand on my shoulder and shot me an infectious smile, "Well, I'm going to take you shopping tomorrow." She announced.
It then hit me that I didn't even know what I was doing here , what questions I was going to have answered and how long I was staying for."Hey Tonks?"
"Yeah Kiddo?"
"What are we even doing here?"
"You'll find out after your stew."
I took that as my answer for now , and continued to eat Molly's amazing stew./////////////////////////////////////////
Crap ending (and probably part) I know, but drama awaits in the next chapter.
