I woke up around 8:30, as I usually do each morning, feeling more tired than usual. I guess that is what you get when you stay up super late. I blame Fred he just kept talking while I tried to shut my eyes. Lord bless the boy but sometimes he needs a zipper on his mouth. Fred and George passed out on my floor as they had their notebook open. I rolled out of bed and grabbed some clothing off the floor. Quickly making my way to the bathroom to get changed.
Throwing on my old quidditch sweater and a pair of jeans. Slipping on some wool, warm socks before brushing through my bed head and brushing my teeth. Once I was done getting changed I kicked the boys awake. Making them apparate to their rooms to get ready before breakfast. I tidied up my room before I headed down to the kitchen where Molly was making her famous pancakes as Ron and Ginny sat at the kitchen table reading the daily news.
"Goodmorning Daisy," Molly said.
"Morning Molly. Morning Ron, Ginny," I said as I walked past her to make a cup of coffee. Making one for the boys as well.
"Morning Daisy!" Ginny cheered.
"How did you sleep?" Molly asked me as I walked over to the fridge and grabbed out the creamer.
"Beautifully. And you?" I asked as went ahead and poured my creamer in and stirred it around.
"Same, are the boys awake?" Molly asked as I carried three coffee cups in my hands, "Breakfast is almost ready."
"I think so, I woke them up before I came down," I said as I sat down across from Ginny, "They might have gone back to sleep. We were up pretty late."
"I am sure they will be down soon, Ron, why don't you go wake them up," Molly said. Ron rolled his eyes pushing himself out of his chair as he went to go wake up his brothers who were still asleep in my room.
"They fell asleep in my room, Ronald, but they should be back in their room," I said as I took a sip of my coffee as he headed out the kitchen door. I looked over from the door to see Ginny making eyes at me over the newspaper.
"What?" I asked as I set my cup down on the table.
"Nothing," She said, "Just nothing."
"Whatever," I said as I rolled my eyes towards her. A few moments later Fred and George popped into the kitchen ready for breakfast. Scaring Molly as they apparated right behind her making Ginny and I giggle as they each gave her a kiss on the cheek. Both of them wearing jeans and a matching striped t-shirt. Fred in dark green and George in navy blue.
"Where is Ron?" Ginny asked as she set down the newspaper and Fred took it from her grasp.
"I don't know," Fred shrugged as he sat down to the left of me. Picking up his mug and sipping on his coffee.
"Probably still sleeping, I reckon," George added as he sat down on my right side as I passed him his cup of coffee as he sent me a quick wink. Make me melt on the side as I felt my cheek begin to turn red. I quickly turned away and picked my mug back up trying to hide my face with my hands as Ginny starred me down.
"Mum sent him up to get you two," Ginny said looking at the both of them. Fred and George looked at each other over my head and shrugged their shoulders, quickly going back to what they were doing. Moments later Ron came walking in with Hermione following behind him.
"Hermione!" Ginny said as she got up from her seat. I turned around getting out of my seat as well, heading over to hug her.
"Hi, guys!" Hermione cheered as she moved on to Ginny giving her a hug. Molly coming over from making her pancakes and wrapping her into a hug as well as Ron stood there awkwardly. As he always does. Fred and George eyeing him and they were the last to hug her.
"Come sit. Breakfast is about ready, you must be hungry," Molly said as she flipped the last few pancakes.
"Always," Hermione said as she walked around the table with Ron and Ginny. As they sat down across from the three of us. Molly started to give out the pancakes she made. Starting with us girls first, knowing that the boy would have eaten all of them by themselves if she didn't. As she passed me my pancakes Fred and George both kept trying to steal my food.
"Watch it," I said firmly as I set my plate back down in front of me. Molly quickly giving her staring boys their pancakes as George and I ended up reaching for the syrup at the same time. Our fingers brushing against each other. I felt butterflies swarm in my stomach. I quickly pulled my hand back as George looked down at me. Out of the corner of my eyes, I looked up at him as he gestured for me to take the syrup first. I smiled a bit as I reach for it. Pouring syrup onto my pancakes as George watched me. Once I was done, I passed it back off to George as I cut into my pancakes.
"So kids, what is the plan for today?" Molly asked as she sat down with her cup of coffee and a plate in front of her.
"I was thinking about going into town and doing some shopping," I said before taking another bite of my pancakes.
"Ooo, fun. Anything in mind that you are going to buy?" Molly asked.
"Nothing in particular," I said as I looked over at the boys.
"Can I join?" Ginny asked.
"Of course. I was planning on going to some stores around here and the head to Diagon Alley."
"Great, I just need to find one more book for this year," She said.
"I'll give you some money Gin," Molly said.
"No worries Molly. I'll take care of it," I said as I whipped around my mouth.
"Daisy you are too sweet. You don't have to," She said.
"But I want to. Ginny is one of my best friends," I said.
"Hey!" Fred exclaimed with a mouthful of pancakes.
"What about us?" George asked as he gurgled on his coffee.
"Okay, both of you are so gross. But Ginny is one of my best girl-friends, there is that better for you two?" I said as I sat back in my chair.
"Very," Fred said as he reached his fork onto my plate and stool the last of my pancakes.
"Much better," George said as he elbowed me.
"Good," I stated, "Anyone else want to come with us?"
"I will pass. I am going to rest," Hermione said.
"I'll come," Ron said as he shoved more food in his mouth. Does he ever stop eating?
"Same here," George said.
"Nope, I am going to sleep," Fred said.
"Your loss," I said. Breakfast wrapped up a few minutes later. All of cleaning off our plates before setting them in the sink. Then those of us who were going shopping went to get ready. I kept on what I was wearing and just pulled my hair up into a high ponytail before brushing over my teeth again. After that, I applied a little mascara to my eyelashes and went to grab my little purse that had some muggle money and wizarding money in it. Hoping to find some pajamas for Fred and George. When I opened my bedroom door, George was waiting right outside.
"Hey there Georgie."
"Ready Daisy?" He asked as he straightened out his shirt.
"Let's go," I said eagerly as we began to walk down the steps. Meeting Ron and Ginny at the bottom. Before we headed out I went to say goodbye to my dad. Who was in his study with Remus and Arthur, deep in conversation. I lightly knocked on the door before entering.
"Hey flower," My dad said as he got up out of his chair and walked over towards me as I took a few steps into the room. Remus and Arthur turning around in their chairs.
"Hey, I just wanted to say bye. Ginny, Ron, George, and I are heading out to do some shopping for a little bit," I said as he wrapped me into a hug, "What are you three trouble makers up too?"
"Oh nothing, deciding what we should do about Harry and discussing what we will be talking about at our next meeting," My father replied.
"Can I join?" I asked as I looked at the three of them. Knowing I would need all their validation since they had all raised me at some point. The three of them all looking at each other giving me the dad look.
"Not this time, kiddo," Remus said as he placed his hands on his thighs.
"Alright, if you say so," I said as I turned around to leave, "Do you need anything while I am out?"
"We should be good," My dad said.
"Just check with Molly," Arthur said, "She knows better than I do."
"Be safe out there," Remus said as I closed the door giving them all a quick smile. I know what they are doing is important and I will understand one day. I just wish I could know now since it is happening at my house. I skipped down the hallways as I saw Ginny, Ron, and George all waiting for me.
