Summer at the Burrow-George

The Bad News

This was going to be my summer. My mom finally agreed to let me stay with my father, Sirius Black, over the summer and I knew he would let me use magic unlike my muggle mom who didn't because she thought I was going to break something. I had stepped off the train ready to finally be happy. I had said my goodbyes to my best friends and gave Fred and extra long hug as his twin brother awkwardly watched.

"Y/n! over here!" yelled my dad.

Wow I was happy to see. I ran up to him and gave him a giant bear hug like I had never seen him before even though I have on several occasions but this time it would be for more than a few hours or a weekend this was for the whole summer!

We walked out of the train station and I was happy. He told me he had an apartment in muggle London that we would be staying at for the time being. I had never been to this part of London so this was all an adventure to me.

We finally arrived at his apartment after what felt like forever of driving and he helped me unload my trunk from the back of the car. 

"I need to tell you something y/n, and I'm so sorry about this" He said to me as we walked through the door to his apartment.

"What is it? As long as I get to spend the summer with you and not my mom I don't care" I replied cheerfully.

"That's the thing..." he replied with a sad look on his face.

"I have been called out for work and I will be gone the whole summer"

"What?!?!" I said confused

"This was supposed to be our summer! I have dreamed about spending a summer with my dad since I was 6. It's all I wanted"

"Y/n I'm so sorry. I have made arrangements for you to go back to your mothers or you could stay with the Weasley's." 

That was an easy choice, the Weasley's. I would be able to spend a whole summer with my best friend Fred but could I survive the whole summer with George and I's constant bickering? People had said we sounded like an old married couple and all George did was pull pranks on me. I mean I the rest of his family was amazing and Molly was like a second mom to me. The choice was clear to me I knew I couldn't't go back to my mothers.

"I'll go to the Weasley's but you have to drop me off so I can say a proper goodbye"

"Of course! I don't have to leave for Africa for a week so lets enjoy these six days we have together before I have to drop you off at the burrow".

Those six days I spent with my dad were the happiest I had been in a long time other than when I was at Hogwarts. He totally let me ignore the no magic for underage wizards and we had fun messing with each other. I was going to miss him but at least I was not going back to my mothers. I could never handle her for an entire summer again.
