Artemis Black - Fred Weasley

Last night at the Burrow

On their last evening at the burrow before they would be leaving to Hogwarts, Mrs. Weasley conjured up a sumptuous dinner that included all of Artemis's favorite things, ending with a mouthwatering treacle pudding. Fred and George rounded off the evening with a display of Filibuster fireworks; they filled the kitchen with red and blue stars that bounced from ceiling to wall for at least half an hour, they had been trying extra hard to get the girl to talk to them and finally, earlier that day, Artemis had told them that she had forgotten about it, it was quiet emotional and Artemis had even asked them if they thought she was bad because she was part of the 'noble' house of Black, to which they had quickly shut down and then hugged it out, saying that they had never thought that way about her and could tell how much of a trouble maker she was since the first time that they had seen her.

Artemis and the twins had even danced around crazily, Molly was yelling and scolding them all and telling them to sit down, which only made them dance even more. Then it was time for a last mug of hot chocolate and bed. It took a long while to get started next morning. They were up at dawn, but somehow they still seemed to have a great deal to do. Mrs. Weasley dashed about in a bad mood looking for spare socks and quills; people kept colliding on the stairs, half-dressed with bits of toast in their hands; and Mr. Weasley nearly broke his neck, tripping over a stray chicken as he crossed the yard carrying Ginny's trunk to the car.

When at last they were all in the car, Mrs. Weasley glanced into the back seat, where Harry, Ron, Fred, Artemis, George, and Percy were all sitting comfortably side by side, and said, "Muggles do know more than we give them credit for, don't they?" She and Ginny got into the front seat, which had been stretched so that it resembled a park bench. "I mean, you'd never know it was this roomy from the outside, would you?" Mr. Weasley started up the engine and they trundled out of the yard. They had only just left when they were forced to go back — George had forgotten his box of Filibuster fireworks. Five minutes after that, they skidded to a halt in the yard so that Fred could run in for his broomstick. They had almost reached the highway when Ginny shrieked that she'd left her diary. By the time she had clambered back into the car, they were running very late, and tempers were running high. Artemis had to try her best to keep in her laughter when she looked at Mr and Mrs Weasleys faces who looked like they were about to kick the kids out of the car and drive off

"well its good to see everyone in a great mood" Artemis whispers to George and he grins down at her

"I know right, i dont think that i have ever seen mum smile more than she is right now" George says with a grin and the two snicker quietly, causing everyone in the backseat to look at them

"What are the two of you laughing about?" Fred asks her and she grins up at him

"Just the left over toothpaste on the side of your mouth" Artemis says and Freds eyes open widely and he quickly begin wiping his chin but stops when he notices Artemis and George laugh

"there's nothing on my face, is there" Fred asks and Artemis shakes her head, causing Fred to pout "well that was mean"

"oh Freddie, no need to be so emotional, it was just a joke" Artemis says with a grin

Mr. Weasley glanced at his watch and then at his wife. "Molly, dear —"

"No, Arthur —"

"No one would see — this little button here is an Invisibility Booster I installed — that'd get us up in the air — then we fly above the clouds. We'd be there in ten minutes and no one would be any the wiser —" Arthur started but was cut off by Molly

"I said no, Arthur, not in broad daylight —" They reached King's Cross at a quarter to eleven. Mr. Weasley dashed across the road to get trolleys for their trunks and they all hurried into the station. "Percy first," said Mrs. Weasley as they approached the wall they would have to run through, looking nervously at the clock overhead, which showed they had only five minutes to disappear casually through the barrier. Percy strode briskly forward and vanished. Mr. Weasley went next; Artemis, Fred and George followed.

"Artie, come on, lets go find a seat" Ophelia says and runs over to her with Octavia and Adira trailing behind her, all if them with excited grin on their faces

"oh, but i mus..." Artemis started off but was cut off as Molly Wealsey came through

"oh don't worry dear, off you go, it was lovely having you, i hope to see you again soon" Molly says and artemis grins widely

"thank you so much Mrs and Mr Weasley for having me, it was one of the best holidays of my life" Artemis smiled "have a safe trip back" she called and then her and her friends quickly ran off with their luggage towards the train, laughing. They threw their luggage into the side of the train and then quickly went in.

"Come on, Lindsey and Lily have a compartment saved for us" Ophelia says and they all make their way down the train, with Ophelia in the lead. They finally make it to the compartment and Lily, Lindsey, Cedric and JJ were all already sitting in there; the girls all walked in and then shut the door behind them, taking a seat

"so how were everyone's holidays?" Artemis asks with a grin and sits between Cedric and Octavia

"it was great" they all replied, the group of them all talking about their holidays and what they had planned on doing as soon as they got to Hogwarts, and Artemis, Ophelia, Octavia and adira all admitted that they planned on sneaking into the kitchen and snacking on the treats. Cedric and Artemis talked a lot about quidditch, clearly becoming closer friends than they had been the year before. Octavia complained to Artemis about her parents the whole time and Artemis comforted her and laughed at the surprising and unique nicknames Octavia had given her family members. With all the talking, they reached Hogwarts in no time and they were lead straight to the great hall after walking around the lake. They watched the first years get sorted and then ate their food, and for the first time, Artemis wasn't even that hungry, she had eaten so much at the burrow that when she looked at food she thought she might explode.

Since it was the first night, Artemis sat with her huflepuff friends at the Hufflepuff table, not noticing the glare that she and cedric were receiving as they talked and laughed throughout dinner by Fred Weasley.

"I mean what is she laughing with him for?" Fred asks his brother in annoyance and took a large bite out of a chicken leg "like whats so funny about him besides the gits giant face and furry eyebrows" George and his friends around him tried to hold back their laughter and George reached over and pat his twin on the back

"now now Freddie, it sounds like somebody's jealous"
