Alora Snape // A Fred Weasley Love Story

Chapter 2: The Weasley's

The cozy Burrow in Ottry St. Catchpole was a second home to Alora. She loved the smell of cinnamon and burning firewood. She saw the smoke coming out of the long twisted chimney, Mrs. Weasley must be making breakfast.

Snape and Alora walked up the wooden stairs and knocked on the bright orange door with a big W hanging around the door knocker. Alora looked at the bushes on the side of the house and saw them move, the Gnomes were back again.

Mrs. Weasley always had her, Ron, Fred, and George get rid of them, it took ages but they had fun doing it.

"Hold on coming!" called a man's voice, then a second it two later Arthur Weasley answered and smiled right right when he saw Alora.

"Alora, darling very nice to see you! And Severus, what do we have the pleasure of seeing you two today."

A delicious aroma came from the inside of the Burrow, the smell of bacon, cinnamon toast, pancakes, sausage, and scrambled eggs.

Alora loved Molly's cooking everything was so fresh and warmed your insides. Alora and Snape didn't make breakfast too much just cold cereal; it wasn't much, but they had good conversations.

"I've decided I wanted to go early to Hogwarts this year and Alora didn't want to join me, could she stay here for a while and go with you." Snape said interrupting Alora's thoughts.

Arthur didn't have to think about it he just said, "Well of course she can! We'd love to have her." Alora smiled.

Arthur had to be by far her favorite Wizard. He was the only one she knows - other than Dumbledore - who had interest in Muggles.

Snape glanced in the Burrow and saw Fred and George with their long shoulder length hair. He had to admit the Weasley's were not his favorite family, but he trusted them with Alora more than anyone else, even himself sometimes.

"Well" Snape began, "I'll see you soon Alora," he lowered his voice and continued "and be carful with those twins."

"Father, you know I will! Fred and George are just friends and I won't get into too much trouble." Alora smiled at Snape with a smile that always convinced her father.

Alora always got in trouble with the twins, it was her favorite hobby, playing jokes and pranks.

Alora gave her father a hug - which he always hesitated when she hugged him - and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "I love you" she said. Snape moved the hair out of Alora's face "I love you more." he said.

Arthur still standing at the door welcomed Alora into the Burrow, "You go in dear I'll get your things and bring them upstairs."

Alora went inside, Snape and Arthur talked for a moment longer. Arthur went outside on the porch and shut the door. Molly noticed Alora once she got in the living room.

"Alora dear! How nice to see you again, where's your father?"

Arthur came back inside from talking Snape, "She's staying with us!" Arthur said with glee putting his hand in Alora's shoulder.

"Well that would be absolutely splendid!" Mrs. Weasley said still continuing to make breakfast. "Take a seat dear. GINNY! BOYS! BREAKFAST!" Mrs. Weasley yelled and heard running around the rickety floors upstairs.

"How's Charlie doing in Romania?" Alora asked while she waited for everyone to come down stairs. "Oh he's fine." said Arthur while he flipped through the "Daily Prophet". "Busy as always; finding dragons, discovering dragons, and you know dragons! You know this thing called a "dishwasher" it's fascinating!"

Alora smiled, Arthur worked with her mother at the Ministry of Magic he always said that Jane was very smart when it came to Muggles, she kept the Muggle division less dull and boring.
