Emily's POV
At 11am, my mum and I apparated from our living room to Ottery St Catchpole just outside The Burrow. As we're walking up to the door, Mrs Weasley came out to greet us shortly followed by a little girl who I presume is Ginny.

A loud noise came from the house which sounds like baby elephants racing. After a second Fred, George and their little brother Ron appear outside. The twins run towards me to engulf me in a bone crushing hug which resulted in us falling onto the ground.

Fred grabs my luggage while George carries my bag that has in my new broomstick to bring up to Ginny's room since I'll be sharing with her. We walked into the house as Mrs Weasley speaks to us about the visit. My mum offers to give Mrs Weasley 10 galleons for letting me stay but she refuses by saying it's no fuss to have me here. After 5 attempts, my mum gives up in offering Mrs Weasley money. I hug my mum goodbye as she steps outside to apparate back home.

"You got your own broom." George said excitedly as he bolts down the stairs with my new Comet 260 in his hand.
"My parents promised me one since my stuff got destroyed when a water pipe burst in my room." I said as George hands me my Comet.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that." Fred responded.
"It's alright, only some arts and crafts stuff I made over the past few years got destroyed."
"Let's go play quidditch. CHARLIE, RON, BILL COME ON!" Fred shouts up the stairs as George runs outside.

We walk to their homemade quidditch pitch which was about a 10 minute walk away from The Burrow. On team 1 it is Bill as chaser, Ron as keeper and George as beater. On team 2 it is me as chaser, Charlie as keeper and Fred as beater. Since it is 3 against 3, we decided not to have a seeker at all. Ginny is our score keeper since she isn't allowed to play at the moment because she was caught stealing her brothers brooms and flying them around unsupervised.

As the starts of the game, we mount our brooms than take off into the air. Bill catches the quaffle before I do while Fred hits the bludger in Bills direction but it misses him. Bill throws the quaffle to the hoop Charlie is guarding but I come up out of nowhere to grab the quaffle before heading in the opposite direction.

I manage to dodge the bludger that George hits in my direction as Bill is on my tail, eager to get the quaffle back. I throw the quaffle as Ron tries to stop it but misses it by a second. Charlie, Fred and I cheer as the other groan. We carry on the game until one team gets 100 points meaning me or Bill have to successfully score 10 each to win the game for our teams. Bill's team was on 80 points while my team was on 70 points. No ones been seriously injured yet but I've accidentally hit Ron in the shoulder while trying to score with the quaffle and Bill was hit with a bludger in his leg which was aimed at him by Fred.

After 10 more minutes, Bill is close to scoring his teams final point. As I am on Bills right side, he speeds forwards but before I catch up with him I am hit with a bludger that whacks me in the sides which makes me fall off my broom. As I head towards the ground, I feel a hand wrap around my wrist which stops my fall entirely. I look up to see Charlie staring down at me with a worried expression on his face. Since we were close to the ground, he just lowers his broom 8ft before releasing my wrist. Bill scored his winning shot before he noticed I was hit so his team won, I knew his team was going to win since me and him are not evenly matched.

Fred and George rushed down to meet me on the ground. They helped me sit down as Charlie got off his broom, Ginny runs towards us and the other are flying down. They check if I'm okay first but I've definitely cracked a rib or two cause it hurts like hell.

Fred and George help me walk to The Burrow while the others clear up from the game. We walk through the door preparing for Mrs Weasley to be scolding us for getting hurt.
"Have a good- oh dear what happened?" Mrs Weasley rushes towards us as she ushers the twins to help me sit down.
"I accidentally hit her with a bludger that was meant for Bill." Fred said as he looks at the ground clearly disappointed and upset he hit his teammate.
"FRED WEASLEY, I have warned both of you a million times about hitting people with bludgers" Mrs Weasley said as she places her hands on her hips as she gives the boys a stern look.
"Sorry mum, I didn't mean too. Sorry Emily, I should have known Bill would of missed it."
Fred looks at me visibly sorry.
"She's been here a few hours and you've already injured her. I can't imagine was her family will think off us now." Mrs Weasley looks very cross. "Now dear, I know how to repair a cracked rib but it will hurt." She said this as the rest of the family walks into the house.
