Gryffindor Girl

     The next morning Lucinda and Ginny were woken up by their mother. "It's time to go, dearies." She said, gently shaking Lucy awake and then moving onto Ginny. Lucy moaned, rolling onto her side. 

     "It's so early, mum," She whined groggily, pulling the covers up over her head to block out the sunlight coming from the window.

     "I know, but you have to wake up. You need to be there earlier so you can get to your tent." Mrs. Weasley made her way back to Lucinda's bedside, gently tugging on the blanket. "Come on now, Lucinda dear. I've made breakfast." Lucy's mouth watered at the mention of breakfast. Everyone knew that Mrs. Weasley was an amazing cook. So naturally, both her and Ginny jumped out of bed and changed quickly, trying to do it quicker than the other so they could get the first servings of breakfast.

     Lucy made it down first, as she tripped Ginny on the staircase. She was delightfully surprised to see that Hermione was at the table waiting for her. "Hermione!" Lucy exclaimed, rushing over to hug her bushy haired friend. Hermione laughed and wrapped her arms around Lucinda. Ginny was right behind her, wanting to also embrace Hermione.

     "Good morning! It's nice to see you two." Hermione pulled away and turned to hug Ginny next. "How are you guys?"

     "I'm great! It's good to see you too, but uh, when exactly did you get here?" Lucy wondered, tilting her head slightly. Ginny agreed with Lucy that she too was doing okay.

     "Actually, about a half hour or so ago." Hermione stated, turning her attention back onto her breakfast. Lucy and Ginny both took a seat on either side of her and dug into their already made plates. The trio made small talk about their summer as they ate, gossiping about random things that they've heard over the summer. Hermione paused once she was done eating, getting out of her chair and setting her dish in the sink. "Where are the boys?" She asked, glancing around.

     "Oh, they're upstairs, in Ron's room." Lucy said through a mouthful of toast. She swallowed and licked her lips. "You can go wake them up if you'd like. Tell them breakfast is ready." Hermione then did just that, she walked up the staircase to go get Ron, Harry and the Twins.

     A few moments later, four sleepy boys trudged down the staircase and took seats at the table. "Morning, boys!" Chimed Lucinda, smiling at them widely. They all muttered 'good mornings' before they started eating. Mr. Weasley walked into the room and spread his arms so that everybody could see what he was wearing. He was wearing a golfing sweater and a very old pair of jeans, slightly too big for him and held up with a thick leather belt.

    "What d'you guys think?" he asked, spinning around for them slowly. "We're supposed to go incognito. Do I look like a Muggle, Harry?"

     "Yeah," said Harry, smiling softly and piling more food into his mouth. "very good."

     "Where're Bill and Charlie and Perce?" said George, attempting not to yawn but failing miserably.

     "Well, they're apparating, aren't they?" said Mrs. Weasley, who suddenly came down the stairs. "So they can have a bit of a lie-in." She walked over to the kitchen and began to make Mr. Weasley a plate of food.

     "So they're still in bed?" said Fred grumpily, shoving eggs and bacon in his face. "Why can't we apparate too?"

     "Because you're not of age and you haven't passed your test," snapped Mrs. Weasley.

     "Ugh, fine." Said Fred, rolling his eyes and pushing his now clean plate towards the middle of the table.

     A few moments passed while all the children ate in silence, after a while everybody was finished. They all stood up and made there way towards the front door. "Why do we have to be up so early?" Lucy asked, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
