47| A new relationship

August, 1994

"If it isn't Señor Malfoy," Fred greeted as Harry, Draco, Mia and I arrived at The Burrow.

"Uh, hi," Draco said.

"What's up, guys?" Ron asked.

Fred and George dragged Mia upstairs and I was left with Ron, Draco and Harry.

"So when's Hermione coming?" I asked.

"She said she'd be coming this afternoon," Ron said. "We've been writing a lot."

There was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," I said cheerfully.

I walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Hermione with her trunk and Crookshanks in his cage.

"Hermione!" I greeted.

"It's so good to see you!" Hermione said, pulling me into a hug.

She greeted Harry and Ron and gave a small hello to Draco.

"Where's Ginny?" I asked. "I've got to ask her something. Is she home?"

"I think so, Ginny!" Ron called.

Ginny came down the stairs, giving Hermione and I hugs when she saw us.

"How are you, Ginny?" I asked.

"I'm okay," Ginny said.

"So, Mia is moving into me and Hermione's dormitory, I was wondering if you wanted to as well?" I asked.

"Um, obviously!" Ginny said excitedly, putting her arms around Hermione and I. "Where is ol' Mia anyway?"

"She went upstairs with Fred and George," Ron said. "Hey, do you guys wanna play some board games?"

"Board games? Make that boring games," Draco complained.

"Mate, they're already called board games, you can't make it more clever," said Harry.

"Let's make something?" I said, trying to suggest something before a fight broke out.

"How about cupcakes?" Ginny suggested. "I have some edible glitter and some other cool edible decorations that I got for Christmas and still haven't used yet, we could make them really cool."

"That sounds good," Draco said.

Ron and Harry nodded in agreement and we headed into the kitchen.

"Char, get the decorations from the second draw," Ginny told me, getting out a large bowl.

I opened the second draw, and there was edible glitter, those coloured balls, little stars, and all kinds of cool things.

"This is so cool, Ginny," I said.

"I know right, Mum really hit the spot with Christmas gifts last year," Ron added. "I got this awesome Chudley Canons poster."

"To add to your one hundred other Chudley posters?" Hermione said with a laugh.

"What colour should we make the icing?" Asked Harry.

"Purple," said Hermione.

"Nah, rainbow," I argued.

"Rainbow," Ron agreed.

"We can do different colours. We'll just sort the icing into parts, we've got lots of different food colouring," Ginny said.

Hermione and I mixed the batter, Ron and Harry made and separated the icing and Ginny prepared the cupcake wrappers and coloured the icing with seven different colours, red, orange, yellow, pink, blue, green and purple.
