"Who's that?" A boy said as he appeared in the doorway to the Dursley's living room. He had circular glasses that reminded Rose of Harry's and had light brown hair, like a mixture of Dudley and Cristina's. It was gone mid afternoon and the boy had only just emerged from his bedroom, he didn't even come down for breakfast or lunch.

"Don't be so rude Benjie" River scolded, as he flicked through the channels on the television

"You can't tell me what to do" groaned Benjie before he stuck his tongue out to his older brother

"Now that is rude" Rose said, looking up from a book "And even I know that, and you mugg- I mean, people who have very different rules to my family"

"Who are you?!?" Benjie repeated, walking up to Rose and pushing her book down to look at her face. Rose was still sitting and the breakfast bar but was leaning against the table with a book in her hand

"My name is Rose Weasley, may I continue reading now or are you going to shove your way in front of me again?" Rose asked, very demanding, when she got into a good book she didn't like being disturbed. 

"Alright Rose, I'll leave you" Benjie turned around and walked further into the kitchen towards the fridge.

"Ignore, him, he's a prat" River said, switching the TV off finding nothing he liked

"I guessed" Rose sighed and turned back to her book. She then looked back up at River, who was staring at her "Does he usually get up this late? It's gone uh, four?" 

"He has probably been up for ages, on his laptop, watching TV, chatting to his idiot mates, that sort of thing. I'm used to it, if you stay for a while, you will too" River explained, he then looked at the book Rose was reading "What are you reading?" 

"A Muggle History" Rose said, lifting the book up so River could see front.

"What's a-a muggel?" River asked, still staring at the weird inscriptions on the front of the book

"You- I mean, it's, um, fiction? Muggle is a, well a muggle is like a different being, like a wizard or a witch, but they do different things." Rose said, not knowing if River knew about magic and her being a witch.

"What's the weird words on the front?" River got up and sat on the seat next to Rose, he peered into the book and tried to make out all the funny squiggles written inside "And what sort of language is written in?"

"The inscription on the front in written in ancient Runes, and so it most of the book" Rose said, snapping the book shut and looking at the weird look on River's face "It's sort of like ancient Egyptian, sorta, I'm studying it at school" 

"Woah! That's cool, what year are you in?" River asked

"Fifth year" Rose said, standing up and walking to the stairs, but River followed her

"There is no way you are in year five! You are way too old to be in year five, are you in year 11? I am" 

"Oh, yeah, it's year 11, it's just at my school we call it fifth year, don't ask me why, we just do" Rose walked upstairs and into her room to find McKenzie and Clarissa jumping up and down on her bed 

"Rissa! Kenzie! This isn't your room!" River shouted pulling them off Rose's bed 

"Wew" Clarissa said, still jumping and fighting against River's pulling her off

"Dadda cweaning our woom" McKenzie continued

"River, our woom do not have a bowncy bwed" Clarissa explained

"And Benyie havin hup in 'is woom and wo not lyet us in two jump on 'is bwed" McKenzie replied

"And Mumma not ver wew and 's stew la'in in Mumma and Dadda bwed so we ca not jump were" Clarissa said, getting all upset
