Mary POV:
"Mary, wake up it's almost 12!" Blah. This wholeschool year I've gotten up at 5 so now I have a plan to try to sleep late. "Five more minutes..." I grumble then put my head under my pillow. "Don't make me use Aquamenti on you..." I suddenly have a traumatic flash back. That's what my dad used to do to wake me up. Then I had to hand wash my sheets as a punishment. I take my head out from the pillow and glare at Hermione. "You wouldn't," I say. "Oh trust me, I would." For some reason I believe Hermione and get up. The task is today! Yippie! I'm very excited. But exams are coming up which makes me not excited. And after exams the school years over, which makes me even less excited. Now I'm bummed about the first task. Oh well I go make myself pretty and then head down to the Common Room. Harry, Hermione, and Ronald are there. "Hello." I say They all look at me. I tend o draw attention sometimes. Usually it's because of my hair or how loud my voice is. Then sometimes I loose my temper and freak out. That draws a lot of attention. "Hi," They all mumble back. Sometimes I feel like I'm a unicycle an their a tricycle. I'm the akward one that no one wants to ride and there all shiny and new. I hate unicycles. Then Minevra walks in and grabs Harry. I presume it's about the Final Task. Then Hermione leaves. Now it's just me and Ron. The two look alikes. "Remember that one time we snogged?" More traumatic flash backs. "Yes Ron I remember." I say "Yea. Those days were akward." I laugh. "I just guess us redheads are akward." Then we sit there chuckling. Then a notice a wand laying on the floor. "Aww shucks, Harry left his wand here. Will you come bring it to him with me?" I say "Why not." He says awkwardly. I go to Minevra's office and ask were to find him. She says by the Quidditch pits. So Ron and I go to the Quidditch pits and she Harry with a chubby little redhead and a tall redhead. I suspect that they are Weasleys. "Is that your mom?" I ask Ron. "Yea and my brother Bill." Hmmm, interesting. "Harry!" I yell Harry along with Mrs Weasley and Bill turn around. "You forgot your wand!" Ron finishes. Harry and the two Weasleys come walking towards us. I give Harry his Wand while Ron says hello to his family. "Um, Mum, Bill this is Mary, Mary McElroy." "It's nice to meet you." I say awkwardly as I shake Bill's hand. Then Mrs Weasley gives me a hug. "Mary I've heard so much about you. From Ginny of course considering Ron never writes me." I laugh awkwardly "It's so great to finally meet my long lost niece." Bill shoots Mrs. Weasley a look. "Niece?" Harry, Ron, and I all say at the same time. "Oops." Mrs. Weasley says "I wasn't supposed to say that." Ron gives Bill a look. "Well now we've got to tell them." Bill says.
"Well, when I was about 5, my mum had a baby girl. Although we were tight on money, we took care of her. And then, when I was 10, we were very tight on money and could only afford 3 kids. It was very cruel, but my mother, she gave the baby up. She was adopted by the McGonagalls. That baby was your mother Mary. Which makes you my niece."
"Niece?" Harry Ron and I say at the same time. My whole life is a lie! I'm not a McGonagall! I'm a whatever Mrs. Weasley's maiden name was!
"Um I really wish I could stay and catch up Mrs Weasley but um I have to go. It was very nice meeting you two." I say awkwardly. "Good luck Harry!"
"Oh trust me Mary, we'll be seeing a while lot more of you." Bill says. This has just been an akward day. I storm off to Minevra's office. "Minevra McGonagall! You have a lot of explaining to do!" I really need to think before I talk because Professor Snaoe was in there as well. Why has this day been so akward?!? "McElroy that was very disrespectful. How dare you just storm into someones office like that. Ten points from Gryffindor." Snape said. Minevra rolls her eyes. "Don't be foolish! Mary knows she is always welcome here. Now I believe you were just going." Snape leaves and Monevra and I have a little privacy. "What did you need Mary?" She asks me. "Why didnt you tell me Ron Weasley is my cousin?" Minevra doesn't look surprised at all. "Oh that Molly always had looselips. I knew you would find out someday." Akward. "Wait so you're not even worried? What if I was mad?"
"You're not mad are you?" Minevra turns to me. "Well no not really. Did my mom know?" That was dumb question. Of course she knew. "Well yes, but we still thought of each other as sisters. I also have some news for you Mary." What news could there possibly be? I've been told enough news for one day. "You will be spending the summer with the Weasleys." Party! I love the Weasleys! Well at least the ones I know. I'm sure the other ones are pleasant as well. "Ok see you at the task." Then I left.
I walked to the Common Room and saw my cousin Ron. Ha ha that was fun to say. "Hey cousin!" I say to Ron. He gets a confused look and then suddenly remembers. "That was very akward." "Well yes, I suppose but us redheads tend to be akward. Speaking of redheads, guess who gets to spend the summer with the Weasleys!" Ron gets another confused look. He's very thick sometimes. "I give up." He finally says. "Me!" I say "Your cousin! Your favorite cousin!" A grin grows across Ron's faces. "This summers going to be awesome." Then I think of something. "I'll be back in half an hour. Tell Seamus not to leave without me." Ron gets yet another confused on his face. I leave the Common Room and head down to the library. Just the person I wanted to see is there. "Hey Sarah!" she sighs "Hello Mary can I help you with something?" I've been waiting for this my whole life. "Well guess what , were not cousins anymore! Because Gram adopted my mom!" she scowls "That's great, so I guess were enemies now?" Wow, she belongs in Slytherin. "Well I wasn't going to suggest that but fine if you want it to be that way." She laughs evilly. "See you soon." she says "Oh and one more thing, Gram liked me better!" I then spit in her face. A good start to the day.
