Artemis Black - Fred Weasley

Flourish and Blotts

A few days had passed and Artemis had been doing everything she could to ignore the twins and the youngest Weasley son, she and Ginny had been hanging out most of the time. After Artemis told Mrs Weasley that she would like to continue staying there for the rest of the holidays, Molly had been extatic and constantly checking up on Artemis to make sure that she was okay.

Artemis was currently sat at the large dinner table in the Weasley kitchen, along with the rest of the Weasleys and Harry. She was squished in between Ginny and Harry, eating her cereal silently. "the boys were going up to the paddock today to play some quidditch and i was wondering if you would like to go up there with them, if you go they might even let me come along too" Ginny whispered to her with excitement on her face, and Artemis didn't really feel like she was in the mood to play quidditch with the boys but she saw the desperate look on ginnys face and nodded her head "brilliant" Ginny said with a grin. At least it would give Artemis an excuse to knock the boy off their brooms, she was a beater after all

"Fredrick" Artemis suddenly said and the twins head shot up in surprise that she was finally talking to them again

"Ginny and I would like to come with you gits and play some quidditch" Artemis said and the twins went to object and say that they didn't want Ginny to play with them but Artemis cut them off "brilliant"

Ginny smiled over at her gratefully and the boys let out a sigh, then they all got up to go and play.

Mrs. Weasley woke them all early the following Wednesday. Aftera quick half a dozen bacon sandwiches each, they pulled on theircoats and Mrs. Weasley took a flowerpot off the kitchen mantelpiece and peered inside."We're running low, Arthur," she sighed. "We'll have to buysome more today. . . . Ah well, guests first! After you, Harry dear!"And she offered him the flowerpot.

 Harry stared at them all watching him."W-what am I supposed to do?" he stammered."He's never traveled by Floo powder," said Ron suddenly. 

"Sorry,Harry, I forgot." Mrs Weasley quickly apologised

"Never?" said Mr. Weasley. "But how did you get to Diagon Alley to buy your school things last year?" 

"I went on the Underground —" 

"Really?" said Mr. Weasley eagerly. "Were there escapators? Howexactly —" 

"Not now, Arthur," said Mrs. Weasley and Artemis and Ginny snickered behind them. "Floo powder's a lotquicker, dear, but goodness me, if you've never used it before —"

 "He'll be all right, Mrs Weasley," said Artemis and she stepped forward. "Harry, watch me first and you need to listen very carefully okay."Harry nodded his head and watched as she took a pinch of glittering powder out of the flowerpot,stepped up to the fire, and threw the powder into the flames.With a roar, the fire turned emerald green and rose higher thanArtemis, who stepped right into it, shouted, "Diagon Alley!" and vanished.

The flames disappeared and Artemis stood out of the way and waited for everyone else to come through, the twins were next, and she still continued to give them the silent treatment. None of them said anything to the other and finally all of the weasleys came through except for Harry

"wheres harry?" Artemis asked quickly in worry

"he said the wrong thing, hopefully he hasn't wondered off to far" Arthur says and Artemis and Molly look at him in disblief, how could he be so calm in this kind of situation

"I've got to go and find him, come along Ginny and Artemis" Molly Weasley says and the boys and girls all separate and go around looking for Harry. They looked for about 20 minutes then Artemis spotted the familiar patch of red hair and then noticed Hagrid and Harry standing with the male Weasleys
