The Traitors [HP6] *EDITING*

Chapter 3-Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, Inc.

{EDITED}

Ron's mouth practically fell to the floor, along with his wand. Harry as well felt a wave of disbelief and shock come over him. There was another Weasley girl? How could this possibly be?

"But..." stuttered Ron, "I thought there was just me, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, and Ginny. Who else is there?"

"First off," said Mrs. Weasley with a great sigh, "will you please take this ridiculous curse off of me?"

"Yeah yeah, sure," said Ron. Wide-eyed, he bent over for his wand, and removed the Leg-Locker curse from his mother. She rubbed her legs and sat down in the red chair by the library.

"So who is my other sister?" asked Ron, walking over to her. Harry followed. "That," said Mrs. Weasley, "is a long and not very pleasant tale."

"We've got a few months until we have to return to Hogwarts," said Ron, crossing

his arms. "I'm sure that will be enough time to tell it."

"Very well," sighed Mrs. Weasley, slapping her legs. She took a deep breath, and

began. "Well, I guess it all starts in the year 1970. That was the year your father and I got married, Ron. It was a lovely ceremony, held in the North Pole, something your father wanted to do. For the next two years, we contemplated having children, what with the state that the wizarding world was in at the time, but decided to go for it anyway. So, in 1973, Jamie was born."

"Jamie? Is that my long-lost sister?"

"Yes, Jamie was her name. Now we, that is your father and I, were perfectly happy with only one child. However, the area in which we lived was not very populated, and except for a few teenagers, Jamie was the only kid. We decided the best way for her to have a playmate was to have another child. So, in 1975, Bill was born, and the two of them were as happy as could be.

"Now, around this time, dark activity was slowing down, and we were actually doing pretty well, financially wise. So, we decided that if we could afford another kid, why not? It would be nice for Jamie and Bill to have another playmate. So, in 1977, Charlie was born, adding to the happiness.

"However, I'm sure as you two know, in a group of three, there is always one that gets left out."

Harry and Ron looked at each other. In their group of three, the two of the and Hermione, it always seemed as though each was getting his or her equal share of attention... right?

"Well, in this case, that was Bill. He was the middle child, and didn't have the glamour of being the oldest, nor the cuteness of the youngest. The only solution we saw for this was to bring yet another child into the world, Percy.

"Now, at this time, Hogwarts was accepting young wizards and witches at the age of ten, if they showed enough talent. Jamie was the most talented witch of her time, and Hogwarts couldn't wait to have her. In 1983, she started at school, and we were left with only three children, and now Percy was the one being left out.

"This is where things all started going wrong... no offense. Arthur and I decided than one more child would be perfect. However, neither of us were prepared for twins. You-Know-Who's rise to power started, and your father had to work extra long hours. It was terrible: Charlie and Bill always asking me for the latest Quidditch supplies, and Percy demanding higher quality books, he could read at that age, all the while, Fred and George were screaming their eyeballs out. I thought nothing else could go wrong... until the day of the fieldtrip.

"Back then, all students at the school could go, not just the upper class wizards and witches. In fact, I think this incident is why they changed that rule."
