Accio Imagine ~ George Weasley

Twenty Years (Part 2 / 2)

At around lunch you arrived at Hogwarts. Initially you wanted to go earlier but your husband was peacefully sleeping and you wanted to let him sleep as long as possible. And he even ate a few bites before you apparated to Hogsmeade. Luckily, the speeches would be held in the afternoon so that you didn't miss them, although they were what you dreaded most.

It was strange being back at Hogwarts after twenty years. Everything looked different and sometimes even strange. Or maybe it was due to the fact that the front yard was crowded with people. Students, adults and even a few teacher. When you entered it didn't get better, the Great Hall was even more crowded. The house tables were full and some people were standing around. A few teachers were on the pedestal at the end of the hall, among them the headmistress. You were scanning the hall. For no one in particular but to see who was there. There were many familiar faces. Mostly old school friends with their families. On the other end of the hall you spotted Molly, talking to Harry and Ginny. So you went over to them and greeted them. Lily Luna, your niece, was obviously standing around bored but none of your children were anywhere in sight. Lily was the first to spot you and she nudged her mother's side until she saw you too. You greeted your sister-in-law and her husband, then turned to Molly.

"Where are the kids?"

"Freddie took them on a short tour through Hogwarts"

"Well I hope the castle will still stand by the time we leave" you sighed. Arthur also joined you and brought Percy with him. Soon you were exchanging news how everyone was doing when you suddenly heard a familiar voice yelling.

"Headmistress! This is the last time I caught this brat in my office. And he's brought friends!" you turned your head to see Mr Filch, who obviously was still caretaker, walking through the hall dragging your young daughter with him. McGonagall looked up from her discussion with a fellow staff member and watched Filch walking towards her. In an instant you were on your way towards the teachers too, George following you. Behind Filch you saw the rest of your kids crossing the hall. By now all attention was on them and you had to sigh. It wouldn't be the first time your kids arouse interest in public.

"What happened? What did they get up to now?" you asked when you reached the small group of people.

"Oh I tell you exactly what these brats did" Filch spat "Caught them in my office, Headmistress. They were stealing the cat toilet. And-and they tormented my cat! The Potterboy and his friend escaped but I caught this one and the others here followed" you didn't know whether you should feel glad that they didn't walk out on their sister or be mad that they even took her with them.

"No" your daughter defended herself "it was an accident" she said and looked at you "Mummy, I didn't harm his cat. I only dropped the ink it she was under it" Filch snarled

"And the glitter? You say that was an accident too?"

"He did it!" she pointed at her eldest brother "and they locked her up!" she pointed at the twins and crossed her arms. McGonagall looked at all of you.

"And what about your cat litter box?"

"Potter and his friend took it and ran away with it. The Weasleys wanted to follow but I caught the girl and they stopped"

"Because she's our sister!" McGonagall sighed.

"Well then. Detention, Mr Weasley as for your siblings, I'm sure your parents will deal with you"

"That's not fair!" Freddie exclaimed "why do I get punished and they don't?"

"Because, Mr Weasley, you are a student here and they aren't" behind your firstborn, Fabian and Gideon were laughing that you shot them a glare and they were quiet but still grinned. Your daughter looked at George with puppy eyes.
