"Ronald Weasley wake up!"

The prominent voice of Molly Weasley could be heard from miles away, but luckily for ron- her volume was just loud enough to wake him from his deep slumber.

"Your friend will be here at any moment and your room looks like it hasn't seen day light in years" Molly exclaimed while propping open the small window near Ron's bed, allowing day light to shine through.

"...mmh but it's so early" Ron muttered in a half hearted attempt to go back to sleep.

"Well, if you had warned me you invited Morgan to spend the summer with us sooner, maybe we wouldn't be in this predicament."

Molly quickly started to gather several articles of Ronalds clothing off the floor in an attempt to clean the room a bit.

"Up Ronald, Up! When I come back here I expect this room to be sparkling." Molly said as she headed for the doorway. Right before closing the door to his room, Molly peaked back in and looked straight at her half asleep son. "She'll be here in an hour." she said firmly.

And with that, Molly closed the door- loud enough to wake all those who slept near Ron's room. That is, if they had still been asleep. The rest of the Weasley family had woken up hours ago to help Molly prepare the house for their new guest. Ronald had also been awoken at that time, but paid no attention to his mother's pleads as he feel back asleep for as long as he could.

"Stupid git" muttered Fred Weasley as he finished sweeping the kitchen, turning to face his siblings that were currently scrubbing the dirt and solidified mud from the hard wooden floors by the entrance door. "It's his bloody friend thats visiting, why shouldn't he be the one cleaning?" he asked, dumping the contents of his dustpan.

"Shut it" said Ginny in a very demanding tone. "I happen to love Morgan, she's the sibling I never had- while you're just the sibling I never wanted."

Fred glared at sister as she continued to scrape the mud off the edges of the floor, which was a big mistake, he realized as soon as she turned to face him. Nobody out glares Ginny Weasley. Especially not one of her brothers.

"Don't get me wrong, I love her to bits- " Said George, diffusing the tension. "I just don't see why we cant use magic to clean, rather than do it ourselves and ruin our morning" Said George, finally finishing his hall of the entrance way.

"Mum says it looks different when we use magic." said Ginny taking a pause before continuing. "But I do agree, it's not like this is the first time Morgan's coming to stay with us, I don't understand why it has to be clean- I mean, its not like she hasn't seen the entrance way before."

"Because" They heard a loud voice shout, slowly approaching them as it descended down the stairs.

"she's staying the summer and I want to make a good impression. Manners make the family- its not a difficult concept dear" finished Molly Weasley as she made her way to the final step of the long winding staircase.

Ginny nodded as she continued her attack on the entrance way. Meanwhile Fred tossed aside his dustpan and broom and started making his way back upstairs to continue brainstorming prank ideas for the upcoming year. Specifically any ideas that could get a leg up on peeves, bringing his status to true legendary prankster amongst his peers.

"Where are you going dear, Morgan hasn't arrived yet..." asked Molly as Fred began his journey up the stairs.

"Exactly dearest Mum. I did what you asked me to do. Cleaned the whole bloody kitchen- even got rid of one of Charlie's worst wall stains. But you cant make me be here when the bloody cat arrives."
