"MOM" you yell from your room down the flight of stairs.

"YES DEAR" she yells back. you ended up just walking down the stairs to where she was in the kitchen.

"Have you seen my jumper" you ask in a very worried tone, You knew either you mom had just washed it or it had landed in Ginny's clothes again and you would NOT be getting it back. 

"Yes I put it in your closet, on your side not Ginny's this time" she said in a reassuring tone. You run upstairs to the room you and your little sister shared ran into the closet and saw it hanging on your side. As you sigh with relief you hear your twin brother Ron call your name. 

"What is it Ron" You yell 

"I need help closing my trunk I don't remember the spell". While rolling your eyes, you grabbed your wand ran up to his room flicked your wand to neatly organize all his stuff. Then cast the spell to close it. After Ron thanked you you ran down to your room finished packing everything and then your mom yelled for everyone to go down for supper. She had made each of your favorite dishes. Percy's was Mashed potatoes, Fred and George was Potstickers, For Ron it was chicken, Ginny liked Rice, And yours was Pumpkin Pie. Dad finally came home from work as soon as all of us sat down. "Hi Dad how was work?" You asked while grabbing a spoon full of mashed potatoes. While taking his hat off and sitting down, He explained how they found a new thing that Muggles used called a rubber duck but doesn't know the purpose of it. 

"You know when you take a bath , when your little and you have toys in the water with you?" You ask while finishing up your last piece of chicken. 

"Ya, but what does that have to do- ohhh they used it as a bath toy" he said while shoving a spoon full of rice in his mouth. You and Dad have always had a better relationship than the others had with him. I wouldn't say your his favorite but you both have the same interest so you tend to hang out more. After dinner was done you helped Mom clean up, said goodnight and went upstairs to say goodnight to everyone else. You can feel yourself getting more and more tired with each step you took. Finally you got back to your room said goodnight to Ginny, flopped on your bed and passed out. 

You woke later than you wanted to because you were going to Diagon Alley today to get your school supplies. Rolling out of bed you take a quick shower comb through your long red hair, brush your teeth, change and run downstairs near the fireplace.

"You kids ready?" Molly asked holding her jar of flo powder.

"Wait where are the twins" asked Arthur.

"Here" Both you and Ron said.

"Not you twins the other ones" He replied. 

"Not to fear..."Said George.

"Fred and George are here" Finished Fred. Both you and Ron looked at each other and burst out laughing. Molly just shook her head.

"Alright you two first" She said looking at the other twins. One by one everyone grabbed a handful of powder from the cup, stepped into the fireplace, held their hand out saying "Diagon Alley" and dropping the powder. As they drop it a huge green flame emerges and goes back down. As soon as you got there Molly told everyone the rules that we would all meet back here in 3 hours. She then gave me an Ron money to buy a  wand and one new book to read. You decided to get the book "Hogwarts A History" though you know a lot about Hogwarts what's wrong with a little more information. You then make your way over to Ollivanders to get a wand You walk in and make eye contact with a boy who has brown hair and beautiful green eyes. He gave you a soft smile and you couldn't help but smile back. You broke contact when you saw your brother walk in behind you.

"Ahh Weasleys come come" Ollivander said. When he did say that the brown haired boy walked out giving you a wink, without realizing it you started to blush. After a bunch of trial and error you and Ron finally got your wands and headed back to find your family. You found them and headed back to the Burrow once again using the flo powder. When you got there your dad pulled you aside and your heart dropped. You thought he found out about they boy in the wand shop.

"Don't tell your mother but I got you an extra book" He said sneakily handing you the book.

"I thought mom said money was tight" you said with concern in your voice.

"I know but you've been talking about this book and I saw it and wanted to get it for you, Ron ended up not getting a book so I said it was for him" He handed you the big book and you looked at the title and it said "Muggle Studies: Anything You Can Think Of".

"Aww dad thank you so much" you say giving him a huge hug.

"No problem pumpkin" He said embracing your hug. Dad is the only one allowed to call you pumpkin. No one else dared call you that because they all knew it was his thing. Mom didn't feel like cooking so we all had leftovers from the other night. As you are sitting at the table you start to read the book you got "Hogwarts A History". You learned about the ceiling and how it is bewitched to look like the sky. You thought it was interesting so you asked mom if she knew that. 

"Yes darling don't you remember I read a version of that book when I was in school". She said walking to the living room to check on the knitting. You hear a popping sound coming from behind you so you turn around looking to see where it was coming from. You look down to see a little black toy running around multiplying. All the sudden you hear loud farts and  green bundles of gas. Mom got spooked a little and went right to the kitchen to find Fred and George laughing, but when they saw mom and how angry she was they ran up stairs knowing that they  would be in big trouble. You ran upstairs and decided to ask ron if he wanted to fly on the broom sticks outside. 

"Hey Ron wanna go outside and ride brooms?" you ask leaning on the door way of his room. 

"Sure" he replied. You both headed outside to the shed and got the old broom sticks, mounted them and kicked off. It was a beautiful summer night. The wind was nice a cool, but the air was still warm. You and Ron made sure not to fly to high so the muggle neighbors didn't see you granted they were far away, you still made sure to be cautious. Up in the sky you felt free, alive, calm. Almost like nothing in the world mattered. You and Ron played Broom tag (a game you made up as kids) for a while until you started to get tired and cold. You told Ron you were heading in and he followed shortly after. You decided to sit by the fire in the Livingroom and read the Muggle book that dad got you. There were some pretty basic things in the beginning such as how they also use fire for heat and light, etc. After about an hour of reading you close your book say goodnight to everyone as you pass their rooms. Finally you make it to your room close the door quickly and quietly get changed, because Ginny was asleep, Got in bed and closed your eyes. As soon as you closed your eyes you couldn't stop thinking of that boy you saw in the store. How his hair barely fell into his face, how his glasses were in front of those beautiful green eyes. His clothes looked a little baggy but you didn't mind, he was cute and maybe you would see him at Hogwarts. What if he was in mine and Ron's year? You fell asleep thinking about him. The next week went by so slow you thought the day you went to Hogwarts would never come. Every night you had dreams about that boy and seeing him at Hogwarts. 

"Wake up, come on get up" You heard Molly yell.

"Come on pumpkin get up" Dad said shaking you a little bit.

"Okay, one moment" You said while rubbing your eyes. You got up went to the bathroom took a nice long shower, and got out. You decided to wear high waisted jeans with your favorite shirt that was a long sleeved and maroon. You combed your hair and left it down. Besides you, Mom, and Percy everyone else had straight hair. 

"Hurry up kids were going to be late, grab your trunks" You heard dad yell. 

"George I don't have time for this give me back my wand" Ron yelled running down the stairs after our red head brother. Ignoring the situation going on out your bedroom door you grab the last minute necessities, your trunk, and head downstairs. After a lot of arguing, pushing, and shoving you finally all squeeze into the car after dad performed a spell to make the interior larger. The whole ride there you could not stop thinking about the boy with the beautiful hair, perfect brown hair, and big round glasses. Was he going to be there . . .
