Enchanted

The Burrow

ROSE'S POV

I stepped out of my room cheerily. Running down the steps childishly, I leapt on my brother dear who was sprawled on the couch.

"Get off me you nutter! Merlin Rosie. You're heavy. " I scowled at him and adjusted onto a more comfortable position, still lying on him.

"So what's up Hughey?"

"Don't call me Hughey."

"Any girl catch your eye at school Hughey?"

He grunted. "no."

"Really? well I hear differently..." I grinned as he suddenly became stiff under me.

"What-what? Who said that? Where did you hear that from? Was it lily? Of course it was her. she can never keep quiet can she?"

"Well that's not important. what's important is that i didn't hear it from you. I heard it from- someone else. Not you."

"What could you have done? you already have a nice stable boyfriend, with whom you're going to get married, have tons of babies and grow old together. I don't think my girl even knows my name."

"Woah ! I haven't planned stuff that far ahead..." I had. "Any who, who is she?"

"Promise me you wouldn't laugh." he held out his pinky finger. I smiled and locked my own pinky with his. "I won't. "

" Well, it's Joanna Goldstein. From Ravenclaw. We're in the same Herbology, potions and charms classes. " he said.

" And why would I have laughed? " I asked him, confused.

" Well if you haven't noticed, Joanna Goldstein is way out of my league. "

I burst out laughing.
" Hun, if anything, you're out of her league. She's the Ravenclaw who Pines after boys. Isn't she? Boys don't pine after her! You might be the first one to! Imagine Hughey dear, her being all head over heels for you. It's very unlikely, but you sure can dream! "

Hugo scowled.
" You were supposed to make me feel better you know? "

" And I did! For the first part of the conversation anyways. Now. My turn what looks better on me, blue or red?"
I said getting up.
"Uh oh I don't know, maybe... I don't care. " he replied heading into the kitchen.

" Rude! "

He snickered and sat down at the dining table.
" Red. " he said
" I'm sorry? "

" I prefer red. " Hugo shrugged and started putting marmalade on his bread.

***

I went with blue.

It made my eyes look brighter.

Looking at my wild self in the mirror one last time, I walked downstairs, to find my family waiting for me.

"Ready Rosie? " asked dad.

I nodded and headed towards the fireplace. Taking some floor powder, I said clearly, (I learnt from my uncle Harry) "The Burrow"

As the Manor faded from my eyes and the Burrow appeared, I grinned.

There's no place like the burrow.

I stepped out of fire place, wiping soot off my clothes, I headed towards the kitchen . I waved and shook my head at the troubled two, who were planting dungbombs in an unsuspecting Uncle Percy's seat.

"Merry Christmas Gramma!! "
" Rosie! " Molly Weasley engulfed me in her typical hug.
" How're you darling! Merlin you have gotten thin! Aren't they feeding you properly at Hogwarts! Do I need to write to Minerva? "

I held up my hand to stop her from rambling on and on.
" Gramma , I'm fine. Besides, I'm no where near thin, my weight will pleasantly surprise you. "

She waved it off. " Nonsense. And you've grown taller! Good heavens! You have Ronald's height Rosie, you look like you've been hit by a stretching spell! "

I grinned and walked out of the kitchen just before Hugo walked in with Lily.

" Hey Lil! "

She turned around and squeaked, jumping up on me.

" Rosieee! You won't believe what I got you for Christmas! "

" A book? "
" Nope. They're too big and boring for my likes. It's something wayyyyy more interesting."

I snorted, doubting anything could be more interesting than books.

"Hey Lil, if you're here, Scorp and Al are too right? "

She nodded smirking.

I headed towards the garden, hoping that the troubled two don't plant dungbombs on me.
