What Magic?

Chapter 15

Fred II^

"Serena, Alice!" Albus yells as we walk into the store, and we are in awe of all of the colorful and loud chaos happening around us. I have honestly never seen anything else like this. "Come on, I want you guys to meet some people because you didn't meet them last Friday."

"What happened last Friday?" Alice questions almost teasingly to which I just roll my eyes and pull her along behind me as we walk into the back of the store.

"Serena, Alice this is my uncle George," Albus introduces us to a tall man with red hair, I have seen is quite prevalent throughout the whole family, and hazel eyes that hold so much joy and happiness in them. Then he gestures to Roxanne who I have met because she is always hanging out with Rose or Lily. "Roxanne, who you've met, his daughter." She's his daughter?!? They literally look nothing like each other. Then there's an older boy with red, curly hair with brown eyes and freckles. "This is her older brother Fred, he's a second year." Then he points to Lily who stands there with her hands on her hips glaring at me, at least secretly so no one else can see. "This is my sister Lily, she was with Rose earlier." Then there are two girls standing next to each other appearing to be in the middle of a conversation. The older is a brunette with beautiful blue eyes while the younger has blond hair, matching blue eyes, and a Hufflepuff scarf tightly wrapped around her neck. "This is Molly she's a third year and this is her younger sister Lucy she's a first year just like us."

When the girls realize Albus is talking about them they stop talking and turn to us with bright smiles on their faces. "Hey Lucy, you're a Hufflepuff also, why haven't I seen you?" I asked a little confused.

She gives me a shier smile and glances at the ground before looking at me again. "Um, I tend to sit in the back of the class and don't really say anything," She says quietly but I can't help smile even brighter. "It's not really easy for me to make many friends, and I think we have History of Magic together."

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Lucy, will you be my friend?" I ask abruptly and a slightly shocked look appears on her face before she smiles and nods her head.

"I think she's in Herbology with us as well," Alice says abruptly and Lucy appears to be thinking but after a little bit, she nods rapidly. Alice then gasps and glances at her watch before starting to drag me towards the exit. "Crap I told my brother we would meet in like five minutes ago and now he's going to be so irritated, but I think you are going to love Oliver he is really cool."

"Hold on Allie, I can't just leave without saying goodbye," I say breaking from her group and standing in front of the small group of people. "Well, it seems that I have to be going so I hope I can see you guys later." They all smile and wave at me though I can tell Lily's is completely fake though I have no clue, really. I walk over and give Scorpius a hug then I give Albus a big hug. "Thank's Al, I had fun meeting more of your large family. Okay, so I'll see you guys later."

"Hurry," Alice whines as I make my way to her and she grabs my hand running out the door and down the street. We eventually stop in front of a little cafe to see a taller blond-haired boy, green eyes, and pale skin. "Oliver! Okay, Oliver, this is my best friend Serena, Serena this is my older brother Oliver, He's a fourth year in Ravenclaw."

"It's nice to meet you, Oliver," I say reaching my hand for him to shake in greeting but instead he grabs it and kisses the top of it. I blush a bright having not expected that to happen at all.

"It's nice to meet you as well," He says smirking at me before heading into the cafe leaving us outside.

"Um, well, he's quite a flirt," I say a little at a loss for words at first before I start giggling softly. "Kind of reminds me of James."

"I'm so sorry, he's really not usually like this," She says trying to get me to forgive her brother but I mean there's not really anything wrong with it I'm actually quite flattered but he's not my type. I wave it off and we head inside and sit down with her brother.

We stay there for around an hour before we decide to go look for the boys. I mean I had fun getting to know him and other than the beginning awkwardness from his previous greeting it was quite easy to talk to him, he is a great guy.

We go searching around Hogsmeade until we finally find them surrounded by, what I presume to be, first-year girls. Scorpius seems to be enjoying them fawning over him though I know him too well to know that he wouldn't dare date one unless he actually likes her. Then there's Albus next to him who seems to be quite uncomfortable so when he sees us coming his expression brightens and he smiles.

"Okay girls that's enough," Alice and I say shooing them off. I honestly don't understand what they are fawning over I mean sure they're both handsome and Albus is the son of "The Harry Potter", but it's our first year and nothing exciting has really happened.

"Thank goodness you're here," Albus says as he dramatically falls against me in a hug which I have to hold him up, I should just drop him but I won't. "Okay, now we can leave."

"Yeah, let's head back I'm getting tired," I say as a push him into a standing position and he wraps his arm around my shoulders, which is very unlike him but I don't mind Scorpius does it all the time.

"Fine," Scorpius says trying to sound sad but you could tell that he doesn't really mind because of the grin that appears on his face. So, we head back quite satisfied with our time at Hogsmeade.
