And my time changing all of your time,

It's a butterfly effect on my heart

          WITH THEIR FINGERS INTERLACED, they continued with their stroll upwards; the mellow summer sun going down over the western horizon behind them and not long, the two soon stood along the country lane that would lead them to a certain crooked, yet tall house.

Lucia stood small in comparison to the house as she admired it's architecture; it looked as though it had once been a large stone pigpen, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several stories high and so crooked which she assumed was held up by magic, for certainly no Muggle architecture could do such things. Four or five chimneys were perched on top of the red roof. A lopsided sign stuck in the ground near the entrance read, "The Burrow..."

"And don't ever forget it," said Harry softly, admiring the soft expression she had on her face. It somehow reminded him of the first time he was brought to the Weasleys, but maybe the expression she had was much milder than his...

Around the front door lay a jumble of rubber boots and a very rusty cauldron. Several fat brown chickens were pecking their way around the yard.

"They have chickens!" pointed Lucia excitedly like a small child.

"Whoops, they've gotten fatter than I thought," said Ron, approaching the newly arrived pair. "Hermione, your cat isn't doing it's job."

Hermione scoffed at Ron after taking notice of Crookshanks lazy figure on the roof of the chicken coop.

However, the awestruck gaze of Lucia never falters.

"It's not that much," said Ron sheepishly, rubbing his nape.

She breathed out a laugh. "You're kidding, right? This is amazing!"

Ron coy smile soon faded into a grin at her words.

"Wait 'till you see inside," said Harry.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione let Lucia step in first and when she did, her already awe-filled expression only twofold.

You would think that the Gryffindor common room was the coziest place to be living in, oh was she so wrong; the Weasleys' humble abode could never be rivaled in terms of coziness as the first thing that filled her peripheral vision was a cosy room with a sofa and armchairs. There were also a large fireplace, a wooden wireless, and a huge wooden bookshelf. But the first thing that truly caught her eyes was a clock that, from the looks of it, rather than telling the time it indicated the statuses of each member of the Weasley household.
