The Eighth Weasley || Harry Potter

Chapter 1: Letters and Diagon Ally

In a rather small bedroom, lay an eleven year old girl. She had long, wavy, strawberry blonde hair, hazel eyes, a light tan, light freckles dotted across her face, a button nose, and light roses lips. The room was decorated with scarlet red drapes, and a small oak wood bed stand. The bed itself had a light red cover, and white fluffy pillows. To the right of the nightstand was a small closet containing clothes and shoes. On another wall was a small book shelf full of both muggle books and wizarding books. The right wall was decorated with pictures of the redheaded family, and posters of quidditch teams.

The door to the girls bedroom creaked open slowly, and two figures crept in. Suddenly, one of the girl's hazel eyes opened, "Don't you dare, Fred, George," she said.

She sat up and rubbed the sleepiness from her eyes. Her eyes opened completely, showing small golden specks. She combed her fingers through her hair, and smiled, "Are he letters here yet?" The two boys, Fred and George smirked, "Maybe, maybe not."

"Yeah, why don't-" Fred started.

"You come see-" George continued.

"For yourself, Ella," they finished together.

"Ugh, you two are of no help. Get out!" she said. Fred and George ran out of the room, laughing. The girl shook her head, chuckling. She got up and opened her closet. She pulled out a pair of tan skinny jeans and a white blouse. She quickly changed, and slipped on a pair of sneakers.

She walked out of her room and knocked on the door next to hers, "Ronald! Ron, get up!" she called. She heard a thump and a groan from inside. She laughed, "Come on, our letters should be here," she said, excited. The door suddenly opened, and standing in the doorway was a young eleven year old boy with tousled, bright red hair. He had a pale face covered in red freckles. He wore beige pajamas with faded, vertical red stripes.

"Let's go then!" he said. The two raced the the stairs, creating quite a ruckus. The two opened the door to the kitchen and Ron was breathing quite heavily. "Are they here?!" Ella asked. Inside the kitchen was their mother, Molly Weasley, their father, Arthur Weasley, and their three older brothers, Percy, Fred, and George, and their younger sister, Ginny.

Molly rolled her eyes, but smiled none the less, "Yes dears, they're on the table." Ella smiled, and picked up the off white colored envelope, which was sealed with a scarlet red wax seal. Ella grinned and opened the letter.
