Valiant

Chapter 1

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good"

Regina's POV

Waking up at the burrow was like waking up at your grandmothers house, you always woke up to the smell of food- that or Ginnys snoring. Throwing the covers off of my body, I quickly stood up and smelled the room. Tilting my head back and closing my eyes as if that would help me smell, I focused of figuring out what Mrs. Weasley was making. Pancakes and bacon, my favorite!

I quickly ran over to Ginny to wake her up. Jumping on her while she was asleep, I grabbed her shoulders and started shaking her violently.

"GINNY, GINNY! wake up PLEASEEEE ! Your mom made pancakes and bacon and you know how I feel about those two breakfast foods! And if you dont get up now your fat ass brothers will eat everything! Especially Ron! "

Ginny groaned and opened her eyes, she was looking at me as if she was ready so strangle me to death.

"Well if YOU get there before my brothers, then there will be nothing left for them."

I got off Ginny and let her roll back over to sleep, she was right, if I was the first one down there I got to make first picks. I looked back over to Ginny to tell her that I was going downstairs without her, she replied with a 'ugh', so I dont really think she cared. Oh well more for me then! Throwing open the door I started to sprint down the stairs, not caring that I was wearing an extremely large t-shirt that covered my shorts and made me look pantsless. Who the bloody hell cares anyways, right? Finally arriving in the kitchen I saw Mrs. Weasley humming as she cooked. She had already made sooo many pancakes and bacon, I was in breakfast food heaven. I felt my mouth start to water just thinking about it.

"Mrs. Weasley, you know pancakes and Bacon are my weakness!"

Mrs. Weasley smiled at me and kept cooking as she watched me walk farther into the kitchen and fill my plate with as much food as it could hold.

"Well of course I would make your favorite today dear, its your birthday! How could you forget?"

Oh god, it is my birthday! I completely forgot, Im not really good at keeping up with dates though so I guess my birthday should be no acception, right? I was turning 14 today, but honestly I looked 17. My slim face and long blonde hair made me look more mature than the other girls in my grade. The only thing that made me look young was my height, being 5'3 wasnt always fun.

"Oh yeah I forgot that im turning fourteen haha. Did my parents send my anything?"

"Not yet sweetie, but they did send a letter." Mrs. Weasley quickly dusted her hands on her apron and walked over to the counter. She picked up a stack of letters and quickly looked through them, picking a light blue card from the bunch.

"Here you go sweetie, give me a minute to finish cooking for everyone and Ill go and get your present from Arthur and I." Mrs Weasley gave me a quick wink and kept cooking.

I ripped the letter open and began reading,
