Harry Potter's sister ~~~ Fanfiction

Sirius's hideout part 132

They still had a promise from Demelza to once more go to the beach with her brothers and sister. They arranged to do that on the day before the train left. It was therefore decided that the following day, Monday, would be spent at an indoor waterpark.

It was not entirely like the Potter pool parties in the Room of Requirement. For starters, at Hogwarts there weren't other people using the imaginary facilities. It felt very strange and very disorganized by comparison. Thankfully the water park in question was in Scotland, where Summer holidays start and end earlier, so it wasn't as crowded as it might have been a month ago.

Excitedly, the centre also did Ice Skating. However enjoyment of that particular activity was mixed. It seemed to mainly be the Quidditch players that loved it the most. Hermione wasn't on two minutes before she was back on not so slippery ground. Neville lasted at most ten seconds longer, the only reason being he kept falling on his bum. Ron, bless him, lasted ten minutes before his constant falling over became too much and he joined his year mates with a sore ankle, Geoffrey, Natalie and Vicky followed him off more out of fear of injuring themselves than actual bodily harm. Harry, Ginny and Demelza were the ones who enjoyed it most. All three fell over several times and each time they got back up. Luna too was enjoying herself, she didn't fall over once and skated, not at high-speed like Harry and the others, but with grace and precision. Colin and Emma managed to stay on the ice but stayed very near to the edge, using it a number of times to stay upright.

Later on in the day, the pool became less crowded so the Guild were able to enjoy the facilities a lot more. However the pool lacked the magic of the custom designed variant in Hogwarts, and not just literally.

The Second Day was spent at an amusement park in England. Ron's ankle had been mended with a dollop of magic cream provided by Mrs Weasley the evening before, leaving him free to run around the attractions like everyone else.

Not surprisingly the Quiddich fans enjoyed the rollercoasters, while Hermione threatened to hex Ron if he didn't stop trying to encourage her onto them.

Finally, the day before they went back to school, they went to the beach.

The night before however, the Potters got a surprise.

"I don't care what you say Harry." Said Emma. "All that junk food is making me feel fat."

"Emma you only had one burger and a few chips you nicked from Geoffrey." Reasoned Harry.

"It feels like I ate a lot more." Emma complained. "I want more as well. Lots more, let's go back."

"Emma you just said it made you feel fat." Said Harry.

"Don't use the 'F' word around ladies Harry, you will not live to warn others of your species." Warned Emma raising her voice slightly.

Harry shook his head. The amusement park had restaurants with all sorts of food that the Guild members loved to eat. But it also had fast food stalls. With the exception of Colin, Demelza and Hermione, no one else had ever eaten anything out of them, so, despite Hermione protesting that food from these places was disgustingly unhealthy, for lunch they queued up at various huts that were expelling smoke and steam like the Hogwarts Express.

They had met up at a pair of picnic tables with an assortment of hot dogs, burgers, chips, chicken nuggets, onion rings and – in Geoffrey's case – a crepe overloaded with syrup and chocolate sauce.
