The Adventures of Pheonix Lestrange

Chapter 4: Dinner

Once I got back to the burrow I ran up to my room and put my things away. I didn't get a pet, there wasn't one that really interested me they were all the ordinary pets. I sat on my bed, marveling at my wand and the intricate patterns on the handle. I could feel my mouth lift into a smirk, at the thought of my mother being proud of me.

A loud knock on my door broke me from my thoughts,"Who is it?" I asked, slightly annoyed at being disturbed. There was no answer, I groaned standing up and making my way to the door. I swung the door open a scowl on my face, to come face to face with Charlie's smirking one.

"What do you want?" I sneered, as Charlie's smirk grew. As he realized that he was getting on my nerves.

"Dinner is ready, come on" I sighed walking out of my room and stowing my wand in my boot.

As soon as I got into the dinning room Molly started putting food on the table, I could smell the potatoes and chicken. I sat down Ron on my left and Charlie on my right. Before I had the chance to fill my plate with food Bill came charging into the dinning room, waving a letter around and the biggest smile on his face.

"I'm a prefect!" he announced, "I'm a prefect!" I rolled my eyes, eyeing off the food that hadn't had the chance to reach my plate.

"That's wonderful Bill" Molly exclaimed, before crushing him in a hug. Arthur merely patted his back.

Soon everyone had calmed down and was silently eating their food. Ron had stuffed so much in his mouth he could hardly move it.

"So how was Diagon Alley?" Molly asked, her question directed at Bill, Charlie and myself.

"It was great mum" Charlie said.

"Ya like always" Bill smiled. I stayed quiet, concentrating on my food.

"What did you think of Diagon Alley, Pheonix?" Molly asked.

"Yeah, it was pretty good" I smiled a small smile, after swallowing my food.

"What kind of wand did you get?" Molly asked, honestly interested.

"Black Walnut.......12'.........Basilisk Skin" I exclaimed between mouthfuls of food, my face breaking out into a full smile.

Molly looked shocked, Arthur had a smile on his face but it looked forced. " I thought Basilisk Skin was rare, I didn't even know they put it into wands" Molly said, the shock still evident on her face.

"They don't usually, Mr Ollivander said it was the only one he had", I explained. "he also said I was a true Slytherin!"

"Well that's lovely dear" Molly murmured, giving Arthur looks out of the corner of her eye.

"Uncle Lucius said my mother had a walnut wand, and that it isn't that different to mine" I continued, oblivious to the look of horror on Molly's face.

"Your uncle Lucius?" Molly asked confused "When did you see your uncle?"

Lucius took Pheonix shopping" Arthur grumbled, glaring at his plate.

"Why?" Molly asked,a hint of distaste in her voice.

"He wanted to pay for her" Arthur continued grumbling.

"We could of payed for her" Molly bellowed " We can take care of her"

"I know Molly, calm down" Arthur pleaded " we can talk about it later"

I finished my dinner and put my plate into the sink before heading up to my room. Just as I was about to shut my door Bill blocked my door with his foot.

"What do you want?" I growled.

"You know they care about you and your making it harder on them" Bill stated.

"I don't care" I shrugged my shoulders, before slamming the door in his face.
