Fireworks ☆ F. Weasley [ON HOLD]

[chapter 4]

Back on the Hogwarts Express, Thea who had grown taller during the break, was looking for her friends. Theo, who was a first year went off with Draco Malfoy instead of talking with his sister. When Thea came back home, she found the letters she wrote to her brother unopened on her bed. She didn't know how her father could have affected the once lovable talkative boy turn into a quiet emotionless one. She had tried all summer to get him back to his older self but nothing had worked. Thankfully she had concluded her lessons with Snape and spent her summer studying instead. She also managed to sneak a few letters out with Artemis to her friends to give them updates.

Currently she was munching on a Licorice Wand as usual, angry that some kid thought it was a good idea to buy almost everything off the trolley.

"There you are!" The compartment door on her left opened and someone pulled her in.

"Ronnie! You scared the here out of me." She exclaimed holding a hand over her chest. Ronnie sheepishly apologized and greeted her friend.

"Hey guys." Thea waved to the whole compartment and was bombarded with hugs from Lee, George and Fred, the latter holding on for a moment longer than the rest.

"Uh, hi." Fred pulled back realizing everyone was looking at them.

"Where's Angelina?" She cleared her throat to diffuse the awkwardness.

"She said no one could make her sit in a compartment with that." George replied pointing towards Lee.

"Who Lee and his horrible attempts at complimenting her?" She joked making the rest of them chuckle.

"Ha ha, very funny." Lee rolled his eyes at her joke and revealed a small cage. "She actually meant my tarantula."

"Wicked!" Thea exclaimed with a smile. She liked all animals, bugs and such besides cats and bees.

"Wait, weren't we going to tell something amazing to her, Freddie?" George spoke up putting a hand on Thea's shoulder.

"Oh yes Georgie." Fred replied putting a hand on her other shoulder.

"Did you two do a prank without me?" She asked raising her eyebrows. "Spit it out you two!" She pinched their sides when they both kept looking at her with cheeky smiles.

"Ow, okay woman. Calm down." George exclaimed rubbing his side.

"We were going to tell you that we've met the Boy Who Lived." Fred replied surprising Thea.

"Harry Potter? You didn't do anything to the poor boy now did you?" She narrowed her eyes at the twins.

She had of course heard a lot of The Boy Who Lived. Her father talked about how he defeated the Dark Lord and Mr. Malfoy and such believed maybe he would be the new Dark Lord. Draco on the other hand talked about how he would be friends with the famous Harry Potter.
