For the last day of summer, everyone went to the Leaky Cauldron Pub in London. Charleigh lately has been slowly studying the magic that Yvannah and Elodie had been doing. They think she might be a halfblood.
"Where's Harry?" Elodie asked Hermione. "Not sure, the Knight Bus should be around him by now. If not, Harry might not have a way of getting here." Hermione answered. "It's almost 8, maybe he'll get here when we wake up or fall asleep." Elodie said. Hermione nodded in agreement.
It was about 10:00, and Elodie was in the old dusty bed that the Leaky Cauldron rooms had. She slowly drifted away, until she heard a loud crack from the room under hers. "FREDERCK AND GEORGE WEASLEY!" She heard Molly's faint screaming. Elodie laughed to herself, and found herself dreaming into tomorrow.
Elodie woke up to the wound of the muggle city outside of the building that was strictly hidden unless in the eye of a Witch or Wizard. She got dressed into a red top with black vintage jeans that Yvannah gave her from when she was Elodie's age.
Her natural waves made her hair pull the entire outfit, as well as simply just her appearance, together.
Elodie walked downstairs and met up with Ron and Hermione.
"Morning guys." Elodie said, sitting down at the table. "Morning El." Ron and Hermione both said. Most of the Weasleys were already downstairs, except for the twins. Ron put Scabbers down to run around, while Hermione's newly bought cat, Crookshanks, was also out an about. Bad idea, Ronald.
Scabbers ran for his life as the cat chased him around the pub. They then ran up the stairs, heading to the residential floors of the building. Ron and Hermione both stood up, arguing because Hermione's cat was 'a monster sent by the Dark Lord'.
They then ran back downstairs towards their owners. They both picked up their pets.
"I'm warning you, Hermione! Keep that bloody beast of yours away from Scabbers, or I'll turn it into a tea cozy!" Ron yelled. "It's a cat, Ronald! What do you expect? It's in his nature!" Hermione yelled back. "A cat? Is that what they told you? Looks like a pig with hair if you ask me." Ron argued. "That's rich coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush." Hermione insulted.
"It's alright, Crookshanks. You just ignore the mean little boy." Hermione said, cooing at the small cat. "HARRY!" Ron exclaimed, as he looked behind Hermione at the stair case and found Harry standing on top of it, smiling at his friend's little disagreement. Hermione turned around, too, and saw Harry for herself. "Harry!" Hermione said, matching Ron's energy. Elodie heard them say Harry's name, and she went to go see him. "Harry?" Elodie asked, making his head turn towards them.
They all sat around the table, looking at the Daily Prophet. During the Weasley's trip to Egypt at the start of their summer break, they were the family who were prized with the trip.
"Egypt?! What's it like?" Harry asked. "Brilliant! Loads of old stuff like mummies, tombs, even Scabbers enjoyed himself!" Ron said. "You know the Egyptians used to worship cats." Hermione said, directly glaring at Ron. "Yeah?! Along with a dumb beetle." Ron spat.
"Not flashing that clipping about again are you, Ron?" Fred asked. Elodie turned her head to see the twins finally walk down to the table. Boy have they grown.
"I haven't shown anyone." Ron said in a disappointed/annoyed tone. "No not a soul!" George mocked. "Not unless you count Tom," Fred said, "They night maid," George added, "The cook," Fred also added, "The bloke who came to fix the toilet," George finished, "And that wizard from Belgium!" Fred said, ending the sentence. They've gotten so good at finishing and adding to each other's sentences, it isn't just simultaneously talking anymore. It made Elodie laugh more than them talking at the same time did.
"Harry!" Molly said, also now walking down the stairs. "Mrs. Weasley!" Harry said. "Good to see
you, dear." She said. "Good to see you, too." Harry replied. "You have everything you need?" Molly asked, treating him like the seventh Weasley son. "Yep." Harry said, nodding at her. "Yes, all of your books?" Molly asked again. "Yeah, it's all upstairs." Harry replied. "And all of your clothes?" "Everything's there." "Good boy." "Thank you."
"Harry Potter." Arthur said, putting his hand out for Harry to shake. He returned it. "Mr. Weasley."
Elodie turned to Fred as food appeared on the table and Harry was pulled aside by Arthur to talk. "How'd you sleep?" Elodie asked, kissing his cheek. Fred knew it was coming from the corner of his eye, and turned his head so she missed, but instead landed on his lips. "Very well, thanks." Fred said laughing at her.
Her nose turned red. "Frederick!" Elodie embarrassedly said, putting her head in her hands, shyly. "Ohh I'm sorry, love." Fred said, grabbing her wrists to try and pull them away from her face. She fell so her head now rested on her elbow, as her right wrist was in his hand. "Come on, eat your food." Fred told her. She put her head back up, smiling at him. "Sure, dad." Elodie sarcastically said. "Woah, woah! Save it for the bed!" George said. Elodie got second hand embarrassment twice in five minutes, and it wasn't even nine o'clock yet.
Hermione and Charleigh played with Crookshanks while Elodie, George, Ron, Fred and Ginny all talked about random things with Molly. Harry and Arthur were still talking behind a secluded part of the room.
Yvannah came up behind Elodie's chair and bent down to her ear. "Char and I should get going now, flower. I need to send her home so that tutor will come and teach her." Yvannah said. Elodie figured that since Charleigh, from the looks of it, was left in the dust by Morgan, might as well teach her simple magic while she lives around it. Yvannah said that Charleigh would probably be with them a lot longer. Talking years longer, which is great because their family was now complete.
"Okay, momma." Elodie said, turning her head to kiss her mom's cheek. Charleigh jumped in Elodie's lap. "Bye sissy." Charleigh said. Elodie giggled, kissing her sister's cheek as well, "Bye little sister." Elodie said. Charleigh turned to the twins, and crawled into Fred's lap, too. "Bye bye, Frederick." Charleigh said. Fred looked at Elodie in a sarcastic annoyed way, as if he asked her why the five year old knew his full name. Elodie slightly smiled, shrugging her shoulders upward. "Sorry." Elodie said.
"Bye, little one." Fred said. Charleigh giggled. She did the same for George, crawling into his lap. "Bye bye, boyfriend." Charleigh said. "Boyfriend?!" George asked her in a playful tone. "Mhm." Charleigh giggled. "Come talk to me when you're about three feet taller." George replied giggling, giving the girl a goodbye kiss on the cheek. She ran over to the other side of the family, doing the same thing. Hermione's was adorable.
"Goodbye, Mione Mione." Charleigh said. Hermione looked at Elodie through a pouted lip. "Bye, Char Char." Hermione replied, letting her pet her cat one last time.
Yvannah had apparated back with Charleigh, while Elodie was left to attend Hogwarts for their fifth year with the Weasleys.
"Alright, we better get our move on." Molly said, pushing everyone each a trolley for their belongings to slide onto.
They weirdly traveled by a Portkey Molly desperately wanted to use.
"Goodbye, have fun! We love you!" Molly and Arthur said, waving goodbye from the children.
Fred and Elodie went to go sit with the trio this ride, because George and Luna found their own seat. Oh boy.
They walked towards the seat, finding a man inside sleeping with his face covered.
"Come on, everywhere else is full." Hermione said. "Who do you think that is?" Elodie asked. "Professor R.J Lupin." Hermione replied. "Do you know everything? How is it she knows everything?" Ron asked. "It's on his suitcase, Ronald." Hermione replied annoyed. Elodie laughed at him, as she leaned on Fred's shoulder. "May I sleep her, good sir?" Elodie asked. "Hm. Depends, this specific pillow is reserved for my girlfriend, ma'am." Fred replied. "Oh, lucky girl." Elodie replied. "Very." Fred said.
"Do you think he's really asleep?" Harry asked. "Seems to be, why?" Hermione replied. "I've gotta tell you something." Harry said, getting up and closing the door.
It was now a very dark and stormy atmosphere, a little rain coming down, too.
"Let me get this straight, Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban to come after you?!" Ron said. "Yeah." Harry said. "They'll catch Black, won't they?" Elodie asked. "Yeah, I mean everyone's looking for him." Hermione added. "Sure! Except, no one's ever broken out of Azkaban before." Fred said. "He's a murderous raving lunatic." Ron added. "Thanks, Ron." Harry said straightforward. Elodie giggled.
The train came to a rough stop. "Why are we stopping?" Elodie asked. "We can't be there yet." Fred added. Harry stood up, walking to the door and opening it. The train rocked side to side, making Harry fly backwards into Fred and Elodie's lap. "What's going on?!" Ron asked. "Dunno..maybe we've broken down." Harry said. The lights then went out, too.
"Ouch Ron, that was my foot." Hermione said. Ron carelessly and simple-mindedly pushed his face and hand toward the window, looking out of it. The lights started to flicker.
"There's something moving out there!" He shakily said. "I think..someone's coming on board." Ron said. The train jerked, Fred letting out a little yelp. "The hell was that, Freddie?" Elodie asked, laughing at her boyfriend. "Shut up." Fred said. "Make me." Elodie said, annoyed that he would tell her that. He turned her head with his hand, and kissed her. "Made you." Fred said. "Gross!" Ron yelled, his hand still on the window. "Ronald, your hand." Hermione said.
He turned to look at his hand, which was growing frost on the spot of the window his hand was placed on. The bottle of clear liquid, not sure if it was water, frosting up, too.
The train violently jerked once again.
"BLOODY HELL! WHAT'S HAPPENING?" Ron yelled through the loud noise of the train moving. The man in the corner still slept, blanket covering his face.
Out of the corner of the corridor, they saw something inhuman hover by the door. A long slender hand also hovered above the door handle, it turning without the thing touching it. Crookshanks and Scabbers both hid behind Ron and Hermione, Crookshanks even hissing at it. It starred at Harry since he was the first person on the end. It made a growling noise, and began to suck the air and streaks off of Harry's face began to lift. Harry couldn't move, letting whatever this was suck the life out of him. Before it could tKe Harry fully, the man laying in the corner shot his eyes open. He then fully stood up, pointing his wand at it.
A bright bluish white light came out of the man's wand, making the monster evaporate away. Harry heard a woman screaming, before he blacked out.
