Alia's Lullaby (A Harry Potter fanfic)

Chapter 19

- Elenie -

The summer holidays had passed by quickly this year, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny had kept Elenie entertained all summer by trying new things and exploring Grimmauld Place. But now they were starting to get bored. It was the fifth week of the summer holidays and Hermione had arrived the week before, bringing them all a little more joy; but that didn't last for long. However today, they were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Harry after it was said that he had used magic outside the school the day before and the Ministry was in uproar. 

"Morning El." Hermione smiled, throwing open the curtains to let the sunlight shine through. Elenie immediately groaned and pulled her cover's over her head. 

"Come on your Mum has been stressing all morning and she has everyone doing cleaning duties. She'll be up here soon if you don't hurry up." Hermione warned her. 

"Fine." Elenie groaned, slowly clambering out of bed and grabbing clothes from her wardrobe. 

By the time that Elenie was ready for the day ahead Hermione had already tidied and thoroughly cleaned her side of the bedroom.

"Good morning!" Fred and George waltzed through the door wearing large grins on their face's. 

"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?" Hermione rolled her eye's. 

"There is no privacy in this house Hermione, I thought you would've learnt that by now." George told her, flopping down on Elenie's bed and grabbing her diary. 

"Oh no you don't." Elenie quickly swiped it out of George's hand's and threw it across the room to Hermione. 

"Are all of your deep and darkest secrets about George in there Elenor?" Fred grinned mischievously. 

"He wishes." Elenie rolled her eyes with a small smile. All summer Ginny, Ron and Fred had been teasing George and Elenie about their feeling's for one another but neither of them acted upon anything. They had grown considerably closer over the summer but neither realised that the other reciprocated their feelings. 

"More like you wish El." George laughed, sitting back on the bed with his hand's behind his head. 

"Good morning you idiots. I thought I might find you in here George." Ginny walked into the room and threw George a mischievous grin which wasn't dissimilar to her brother's. 

"Oh shut up Ginevra. Just because Harry's coming today." George grinned at his little sister as she rolled her eye's and blushed. 

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ginny replied, sitting down on Hermione's bed. 

"You can't lie to us Ginny, we know you too well." Hermione told her. 

"You've always liked Harry!" Elenie grinned. 

"No I have not! I never have!" Ginny denied. 

"If you say so." Fred laughed at his sister's reaction. 

"Fred! George! Come down here, Sirius needs help cleaning the sitting room!" Mrs Weasley yelled up the stairs.

"Well, that's us done for the day." Fred sighed, grabbing his duster from the floor.

"See you later." George said grumpily, following his twin out of the room. 

Elenie finally got on with cleaning her side of the room with Ginny and Hermione's help and she was finally finished by the time they were all called for dinner.

She couldn't wait to get back to Hogwarts.
