My Best Friend George Weasley ~ Year Two

Chapter Two

Chapter Two:

~George~

                I seemed to be the only one that paid attention to the weird thing that happened when Esca and Echo saw each other. They just went into that blank stare, it was rather odd. I tried not to worry about it too much, but I was still couldn’t stop wondering what happened.

                “I’m driving!” I said once we got into the garage where the car was.

                “I wanted to drive,” Fred said.

                “Yes, but you are rubbish at driving this thing,” I reminded him.

                So with that we got in the car. Esca, Elissa, and Echo in the back, Ron, Fred, and I in the front. I then backed the car out of the garage and we took off rather shakily.

                “Well,” Esca said after we were in the air. “This is an interesting thing you go here. Where did you get it?”

                “Dad made it,” Ron told him. “Mum hates this thing, but dad is fascinated by muggles.”

                “He is always asking me questions,” Echo laughed.

                “Speaking of your dad,” Esca said, “he never came home from work today.”

                “He probably had a busy day,” Fred said. “Sometimes he has long days and just goes to sleep at work instead of coming home to wake everyone. He will be back in the morning since tomorrow is Saturday.”

                Esca was quiet after that.

                Everyone just chatted as we drove through the sky. Before long Elissa and Esca were yelling at each other, Ron was snoring loudly, Fred was looking at a map, and Echo was trying to hide since she was between Esca and Elissa. Finally she just climbed to the front and sat between Ron and I.

                “Wow, the sky is pretty tonight,” she whispered.

                “Yea, it is,” I replied. The stars reminded me of her eyes when they were white last year. It was spooky, but pretty. “Are they always like that?” I looked back at Elissa and Esca.

                She smiled. “Pretty much. I find it entertaining really. They don’t really hate each other, or at least Elissa doesn’t hate Esca, she just dislikes him a bit, but at other times, though she will never admit it, she finds him cool and fun.”

                Their yelling got louder. I wasn’t even sure what they were fighting about.

                “Well, she could have fooled me,” I told her with a smile.

                “Me too, if I wasn’t who I was,” she whispered in my ear.

                “Oy! What are you two whispering about?” Esca suddenly turned his attention to us.

                “Will everyone SHUT UP!” Fred yelled. “I am trying get us to Harry’s without crashing.”

                With that everyone got quiet, but no one seemed by happy about it. Well no one, but Ron who was still asleep. The new quiet gave Fred the chance to get me directions. Within the hour we were getting close to Harry’s.

                “Wait up, Ron,” Echo said lightly shaking him. He grunted and opened his eyes. “We are here,” she told me.

                He jumped a bit and started looking around. “It’s number four Privet Drive.”
