Calypso Night Book 1

Chapter 3

The next morning we got up early to go to the Burrow, home of the Weasley family. I got dressed and grabbed a bit of my pranking supplies to share with Fred and George.

"Calypso it's time to go," Mum called.

"Come on Lypso. I'm hungry." Sarus whine after.

"I'm Coming. I'm coming." I called back gently picking Jazzy up and putting her on the floor to explore.

Once I was downstairs we began the semi-short walk to the Burrow. It was about a mile and a half away. {The Burrow looked as though it had once been a large stone pigpen, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several stories high and so crooked it looked as though it were held up by magic. Four or five chimneys were perched on top of the red roof. Several fat brown chickens were pecking their way around the yard.} The Burrow was like a second home.

Fred and George have five siblings. In order, it goes Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George, Ronald or Ron, or Ickle Ronniekins as the twins and I call him, and Ginerva or Ginny the only girl. Bill lives in Egypt and worked for Gringotts as a curse breaker, and Charlie lives in Romania and works at the Dragon Sanctuary. Last but not least there is Mr. Weasley or Arthur as he prefers and of course Molly.

Fred and George are third years like me. Ron is the same age as Sarus and is starting as well. Percy is the eldest in the house and is a fifth year. The twins told me that he became a Prefect which came as no surprise to me. I honestly question why they can't be even a little proud of him. Ever single Weasley has been sorted into Gryffindor. So it's very likely Ron and Ginny, who's coming next year, will be sorted there too but you never know. They all have red hair and blue eyes except Molly, Fred, George and Ginny who instead have brown eyes.

When we arrived Sarus and I ran up to the door with mum and dad laughing behind us, and knocked on the door. As soon as it opened we were immediately pulled into a bone-crushing hug from Molly.

"Hi, Aunt Molly." Sarus greeted.

"Hello, Molly." I smiled as she let us go.

"Hello, dearies. Oh, look at you two. I swear you two get bigger every time I see you." She said with a smile.

"Don't they." Mum agreed going to hug Molly.

Sarus and I ran in and took our places at the table. My place was in between Fred and George and across from Percy.

"Hi, Freddy. Hi Georgie. Did you two miss me?" I asked.

"Of course" Fred

"We did" George

"What kind of friends would we be" Fred

"If we didn't" George

"Miss you?"They finished together.

I laughed and looked over to Percy and said. "Hello, Percy."

"Hello, Calypso."He greeted with a small smile.

"I heard you made Prefect," I stated.

"I did indeed."He smiled.

"Well, congratulations. You definitely deserve it." I told him.

"Thank you, Calypso. It's nice to know someone other than my parents thinks so." He said.

I smiled and asked. "So how was your summer?"

He smiled back and said "It was nice thank you. How was your summer?"

"Oh, it was splendid. I beat my record on how many books I could read before going back to Hogwarts." I told him with excitement.
