polaroids (cedric diggory)

prologue

The sound of forks clinking and slurping fresh orange juice rang through the Borrow.

The Weasleys, as well as Harry and Hermione, were still half asleep, everyone still in their pajamas and with bags underneath their eyes. Everyone was far too excited for the upcoming Quidditch World Cup, that their father somehow arranged for them to see.

A noise from the kitchen suddenly woke all of them up, everyone quickly looked at the window. Molly was the first one on her feet. She hurried and let the owl in, it dropped an envelope into her hands. Molly worriedly looked at it, the envelope had a big red stamp with a letter H engraved onto it.

"Who is it from, mom?" Ginny asked. Molly kept quiet and read the envelope, before looking up at her oldest daughter in excitement.

"It's for you, Aria! It's from Hogwarts!"

Her oldest daughter looked up from her plate and locked eyes with her mother and then quickly glanced at Ginny. She got up from her seat, and with nervousness increasing with each step she took to get to her mom.

When her mother placed the letter into her hands, she sent her a reassuring smile. While she was reading the letter, everyone was eagerly waiting for a response.
"Hey Fred, do you think they kicked her out?" asked George his twin. Molly quickly smacked them with a newspaper she was holding.
"Tell us already!" said Ron and everyone quickly chimed in.

Aria looked at her family, her lips curling up into a smile. She exhaled and read: "We would be delighted if you would accept the post of Gryffindor prefect." Everyone started cheering, Ginny quickly got up and tackled her sister into a hug, whispering a congratulations. You could hear Fred an George groaning, "Oh great, another one!"

Molly looked very pleased at her daughter, "Oh we have to write an owl to Bill and Charlie! They'll be very proud!"

After breakfast everyone went into their rooms, to get ready for the journey. Ginny, Aria and Hermione rushed up the stairs. Two sisters already shared a room together, as well as most of their clothes. The two had always been closest with each other. Their room was small, now it felt even more since Hermione was paired up with them.

The three girls were downstairs before the others, quickly eating some leftover pieces of toast and talking about the game. Fred and George came sprinting down the stairs next. Then Mr Weasley came, questioning everyone if they are ready. The last ones were Ron and Harry, the twins congratulating them how fast they are and messing up their hair.

They said their goodbyes to Molly, and left the Burrow. The sun was peaking through the trees, birds were chirping, sitting on the treetops as they past between them. Ron was groaning every few minutes "Are we there yet?" Followed by Hermione shushing him or smacking his shoulder. Harry and Ginny were laughing at Ron and Hermione. Aria was talking to Fred about the Cup. And George was helping his father read the map, trying not to get lost.
