Eliza Potter: Harry Potters Sister 2

Chapter 24: We Study And Make Tea

"I still can't believe your dating my brother-" I said one day as Ginny and I walked to the library with our hands full of books in early June.

"It's been over a month Eliza-" said Ginny.

"Still..." I said as went entered the library and sat down at tables. We studied until the sun went down and it was past dinner.

"Alright-" Ginny yawned tiredly. "What ingredients make a befuddlement Draught?"

"Scurvy grass, lovage and sneezewort-" I said sleepily. "Should we get back to the common room?" I asked Ginny as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

"Correct and..." Ginny listened as the clocks struck midnight. "We'd better-" We Put away most of the books we had used except for four which we were bringing back with us. It was dark as we made our way down the halls that has a cool early summer breeze blowing through them.

"Should I light a wand?" I whispered as we slowly made our way towards the portrait hole.

"No..." Said Ginny. There was silence expect for our footsteps for a couple seconds. "You know what I'll do it-" said Ginny. "Lumos," and her wand tip ignited and let us be able to see a littl e bi gas we made our way through the portrait hole. As I followed Ginny though it I stopped right in my tracks. I looked back at the hall and Ginny stopped walking.

"What?" She asked me.

"Did you hear that?" I asked looking in the dark hallway.

"What?" Asked Ginny walking to meet me at the edge of the portrait hole and looking in the hall.

"I don't know..." I said looking for someone walking in the hall but I saw no one. "It was like... Like footsteps-"

"Your probably just imagining it... We've been studying for hours Eliza... Let's just go back up to the dormitory-" said Ginny turning away.

"Wait- Gin-"

"Alright in or out?" Said the groggy Fat Lady in the portrait.

"Oh... In, sorry," I said and the door swung shut.

"Alright let's go to bed-" said Ginny and she started towards our room.

"I'll- um be up in a minute. I just want to read over one last page then I'll meet you up there-" I said. Right as Ginny left the room I sat my books on the couch and walked back to the portrait hole.

"Lumos," I whispered. I stepped into the dark hallway and looked around for a sign of any people. The sound I had heard with Ginny was like footprints and something crackling.

I walked up the hall and then back to the portrait hole. As I made it back to the fat lady I noticed a tiny piece of paper on the ground. I picked it up then entered the common room.

Don't do it...

I threw the paper into the fire and watched
as it slowly burned. When ice met back into the dormitory my other roommates were fast asleep with their curtains drawn around the beds. Ginny was in her pajamas and I dropped my books in the ground next to our doorway.

"Where've you been?" Asked Ginny suspiciously as she sat on her bed.

"Oh... Sorry, I read a chapter ahead..." I lied.

"Oh... Fine I'll read it tomorrow I guess..." Said Ginny.

"I'm going to get changed. Can you start a fire... Bluebell flames?" I asked.

"Sure... Why?" Asked Ginny as she yawned.

"I'm going to make us some tea," I said.

"Oh, okay... I have a cauldron we can use to heat it," said Ginny. I went into the closet
And got changed into my pajama set I had worn in the summer. I walked back out to see a big cauldron full of bluebell flames and Ginny pulling out her tiny cauldron.

"Aguamenti," I said and water filled the tiny cauldron in Ginny's hand as she sat it inside the big cauldron on the flames.

"Accio tea bags," I said. I heard something hit the door of our dormitory.

"Alohomora-" I walked into the hall and saw a box of chamomile tea. I picked it up and went back into the room. "Colloportus," and the door locked behind me.

We poured the half out the cauldron of boiled water into my old mug from the night before and Ginny kept hers in the mini cauldron. I handed her a tea bag from the box and I took another. There were only three left in the box. We drank our tea slowly and got into our bed.

"I'm so tired-" said. I my as she laid on her side. She trailed off and I knew she was fast asleep.

"Carpe Retractum," I pointed my wand at the light switch then the candles of the room went out automatically. The invisible ropes drew away from the light switch as I yanked my wand causing them to fall at a downward motion and fly back into my wand magically.

With one last sip of tea I went to bed again.

"So, Ron and I have been talking-" I said trying to act very serious the next day at breakfast.

"And we'd just like to say-" continued Ron also trying to act serious as both Harry and Ginny stared at us with much interest.

"We complete agree with this relationship," I said gesturing to Harry and Hermione.

"What?" Said Ginny.

"We can't wait for the wedding-" said Ron.

"In fact, we've already planned it!" I said smiling happily at them in front of me.

"What?" Said Harry.

"Yes, I mean didn't you know I want nieces and nephews!" Said Ron. I bit my younger to keep from laughing at this.

"And you two aren't getting any younger!" I said.

"I mean seriously it's like--" Ron broke off cracking up and so did I as I saw both Harry and Ginny's horrified faces.

"Are you kidding?" Said Ginny.

"Yes!" I said through breathes as I cracked up with Ron. We had planned it early the day before. Ginny and Harry both began smacking Ron and I as we both sat laughing on the bench.

"You-are-such-asses!" Said Ginny angrily.

"Calm down-" I coughed. "It was a bloody joke-" said Ron.

-------------------------------------------------------
On a few days before O.W.L.S Harry revived a letter from Dumbledore.

"Let's go now!" Said Harry.

"Harry I was studying!" I said.

"What's more important studying or destroying him?" Asked Harry.

"Fine..." I said angrily that my studying was disrupted. "Let's go-" we walked to Dumbledores office quickly and quietly.
