Lunch and Practice

**All characters in the Harry Potter series go to J. K. Rowling. Madeline, Madeline ll, Arabella and Toby are mine! :)**

Lunch and Practice-

We walked fairly slow, but I didn't mind. I enjoyed every moment I could get with my dad. He was out of breath walking only a few meters, his illness starting to physically affect him more. He tried to be discrete about it, but it was quite obvious. "So, are you heading off right after lunch?" He asked, as the Burrow came into view. 

I shifted my bag on my shoulder. "Yea, Samantha called for surprise quidditch practice. I'm not to thrilled to be honest." I said. "I was looking forward to a relaxing afternoon." 

"Well just relax while you can!" He joked. I rolled my eyes as we arrived, "Hello there Lily!" He said to the little red head who stood by her mother, Ginny. I walked over to Madeline, Teddy and Victoire, all who were sitting at one of the many picnic tables. 

"Hey guys." They all looked up at me and smiled. I set my bag underneath the table. "What's up?" Madeline smiled. 

"Well, after lunch's over, we were planning on going over to Hogsmeade, for old time's sake. You in?" She asked hopefully. I frowned.  

"I'm sorry guys, I've got practice today." I replied. Teddy  frowned. "How long are you guys going to stay in Hogsmeade? Cause maybe I can go straight there after practice." 

"Probably until eight." Victoire answered. I thought for a moment. 

"If practice stays on schedule, I'll be there by six." I replied. They all smiled. "So where are you guys going anyway? Like Honeydukes?" They all nodded and began to talk excitedly. 

About twenty minutes later, lunch was served. Aunt Hermione, Ginny and Angelina made couple of plates worth of sandwiches, to feed the entire family. There were so many of us! At one of the tables, sat all the younger cousins, which included Albus, James, Lily, Roxanne (Madeline's younger sister), Hugo, Dominiuqe, Louis and Rose. 

At the table I sat at, there was Teddy, Madeline, and Victoire. There was also Uncle Percy's daughters, Lucy and Molly, but they kept to themselves. 

And at the final and largest table, is where all the adults sat. Harry and Ginny sat across from Hermione and Ron. Bill and Percy sat across from their wives, Fleur and Audrey. And at the end of the table, sat my dad, George and Angelina, and Charlie. 

I grabbed a sandwich and began to munch on it, while Teddy and Victoire had a conversation about their upcoming year at Hogwarts. They were deep in conversation, and I had no idea what was going on. 

"What's happening?" I whispered to Madeline, who was smirking at them. 

"They're having another ball at Hogwarts this year. Teddy is upset because he doesn't think anyone wants to go to the ball with him and Victoire is trying to convince him that someone wants to go to the ball with him, he's just got to open his eyes." She replied. Both Madeline and I watched them both go at it for a while, when I check the time. I grabbed my bag, walked over into the Burrow, and changed into my uniform. 

I silently returned to the tables, hoping not to get noticed. But as soon as I stepped outside, all of the younger cousins swarmed me, which in turn caused the adults to turn their heads. 

"Woah! Arabella you look awesome!" Lily squealed. I smiled down at her. "I can't believe you're going to be a famous quidditch player!" I blushed at her comment. 

"Well I don't know about famous-" I started, but James interrupted me. 

"Are you kidding? Of course you're going to be famous, I mean, you won Gryffindor the house cup for the past four years!" He exclaimed. I smiled at them both.
