{1} it's been too long

"Han!" shouted a red headed figure running to give her a hug. Hannah Lupin was tackled in a giant hug by her best friend Charlie Weasley, the second oldest Weasley child.

"Jesus Charlie!" she screamed as she almost fell over as he hugged her. Charlie pulled away and grinned sheepishly at her "Sorry doll. It's been a while!" Hannah grimaced at him calling her doll but laughed "It's been less than a month." Charlie rolled his eyes "Shut up. Let's go inside."

The two were currently standing outside the Burrow, where the Weasley's as well as Ron's friends Harry and Hermione were staying. Hannah grinned as she entered the house that she had looked at like a second home for many years as a kid. "Hannah dear!" cried Molly Weasley running to give her a hug. Hannah hugged her back and smiled "Mrs. Weasley! It's lovely to see you again." Molly smiled, "Please call me Molly." Hannah grinned "Nope that's too weird."

"Speaking of weird." laughed Charlie as his twin brothers Fred and George walked in. "Hannah!" they cried in unison running to give her a hug. "Fred! George! It's great to see you two again." she smiled at the two. There were a few steps on the stairs when a curly haired red head with glasses peered into the kitchen. "Will you keep it down?!" he hissed. Charlie grinned "Sorry Perce." Percy nodded and walked back upstairs. Hannah threw her hands up in defence "It's like I don't exist to him!" Fred grinned "That's probably for the better." which caused Molly to whack him on the back of the head.

After a couple more hellos and hugs Hannah sat down at the table with the rest of the household, beside Charlie and an empty chair, but there was a plate there. "Wha-?" asked Hannah as Molly placed a plate down. "Bill should be here in a few minutes." she answered. Hannah nodded and
sharply turned to Charlie and elbowed him. "Oi! What was that for!" "You didn't tell me Bill was coming!" she hissed. Charlie smirked "Oops. Must have slipped my mind." Hannah glared at him "I hate you Charlie Weasley." but she slipped a grin.

A few minutes later the door swung open and Bill walked in. "I'm back!" he said with a giant goofy grin. Molly ran to give him a hug and Ginny stood up for a hug as well.

This Bill Weasley, looked a lot different from when Hannah saw him last, 5 years ago. That Bill was just starting to grow his hair, and it was in his awkward phase. This Bill, was, well hot. He had long hair that was back in a bun and a fang earring.

Bill said hello to all of his siblings and sat down beside Hannah and turned to her. "Hold on- who are you?" Hannah laughed and crossed her arms "Seriously? I know it's been 5 years but you don't recognize me? Jesus William." she smirked. He started blankly at her "Jesus Willi- HANNAH LUPIN?!" he shouted and jumped to his feet. Hannah laughed "Yeppers." "Merlin. Stand up and give me a hug!" exclaimed Bill. Hannah grinned and stood up, "Do I really look that different?" she asked, giving him a hug. Bill shook his head, "Now that I know it's you, no you don't."

Hannah grinned, "Good." "What about me?"
asked Bill "Do I look any different?" Hannah surveyed him for a minute "Your hair's longer, that's about it." Bill rolled his eyes "Of course its longer. It's been 5 years, nerd." Hannah scoffed "Hey! I'm not a nerd...anymore." she added after Charlie cleared his throat and made a noise that sounded a lot like "Liar." Hannah elbowed him without looking and laughed. "Alright alright calm down."
chided Molly, "Let's eat."

They finished eating and were just talking amongst themselves. "What are you doing currently Hannah?" asked Fred from across the table. "I've been in Greece the past year helping out with the Ministry there as a translator." "Greece?! That's like 3 hours from Egypt! You should have visited." said Bill, "I didn't know you were in Egypt!" Hannah retorted grinning "Next time though." she told him. Bill smiled, and the rest of the family kept talking.

{the next day - going to the cup}

Hannah was woken up by a wrapping on her door. "Yes?" she called, "It's time to get up." replied the voice. She smiled to herself, it was Charlie. She got out of bed, threw on the Muggle clothes she packed, grabbed her bag and headed downstairs.

Hannah got downstairs and saw Bill, Charlie, Percy already there. She grinned sheepishly "Sorry." "That's alright." responded Mrs. Weasley, handing her a bowl of porridge, "Here eat this." Hannah ate it and thanked Molly. Then turned to the boys, "Shall we?" They nodded, said goodbye to Molly and headed out the door.

"Wanna go sidelong?" Bill asked Hannah, who grinned "I'm a big girl now. I can go by myself." Bill laughed, "Alright fine. Just don't come crying to me when you're nauseous." pop Charlie and Percy left at the same time and Bill was about to when Hannah grabbed his am "Wait- can we do sidelong?" she asked, smiling sheepishly. Bill chuckled "Yes love. Hold tight."

And with another pop, they were gone.
