Skeeter again?!

Nova's Point of View

As I'm eating breakfast an owl drops a copy of The Daily Prophet in front of me. I stare in confusion and flip through the paper. One article manages to get my attention.

Weasley Lies??

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this fine weekend there was an event held known as the first event of the Triwizard Tournament. Two children of the Pureblood Weasley family were helping maintain the event.

However upon futher investigation we discovered it Was Nova Weasley and Charlie Weasley, but what?! Charlie Wealsey? Both looking drastically similar to each other it was thought they were the oldest twins.

However When asked Nova Weasley claimed that she would not answer questions, but I could tell there was dirt to clean up. After some searching I discovered that the male twin known as Bill Weasley could be a cover up for this Charlie Weasley.

In fact Bill Weasley is not even the male twin's true name. His true identity remains a secret but I intend to crack this case. In fact I have scheduled another interview with Ms. Nova Weasley in the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade on Friday.

Stay tuned for the facts!

Rita Skeeter

I growl in anger. How dare she?! I stand up and walk out of the Great Hall ignoring the stares I recieve. Hagrid wasn't there which concerned me, if he didn't show up I would have to teach and that was the last thing I wanted. Charlie followed me out, looking mad.

"Seriously? That woman has too much nerve." He said as we walked. "I agree. Besides where does she get the idea I want to talk to her?! And digging in my personal business is so not gonna fly!" I claimed.

We arrived in front of Hagrid's hut but he was nowhere to be seen. "Dang it Hagrid!" I said crossing my arms, once more showing off my gloves. "Charlie will you please help me with the lesson today? I can't teach by myself."

He contemplates his choices and I wanna smack him. "Fine." He says and I let out a relieved sigh. "Thanks Charlie. And I know, 'You owe me one'. Seriously it's annoying to say the least." I say and he chuckles. "So how's Romania?" I ask.

He shrugged, "Could be better or worse. I enjoy the dragons of course but being away from everyone is rough." I nodded in understanding. "What about you with your study of animals?" He asked blowing a strand of hair from his eye.

"Fine, slowly becoming more dangerous though. Everything is becoming tense and restless it seems." I say glancing to the castle to see students coming out of the vast doors. "Get ready for the horde." I grin and he turns to see what I mean. (This is an actual joke in the locker room. Off-season always says "HERE COMES THE HORDE!" When the people playing a sport come in and it's funny.)

"Seriously? Love how mature my sister is." He says putting his hand on his forehead. "Should we go by professor for this? That would be fun." I joke and he rolls his eyes. "Please don't-" "Why hello good pupils!" I said in a fake posh voice.

"Too late." He said. I grin. "Ignore the one of which i share a blood system similarity too. He becomes rather undergoing of the feeling known commonly as embarresment." I said in the same voice making giggles erupt all around.

He put  hand over my mouth with a glare. "I'm Charlie and this idiot is my sister Nova. We'll be covering for Hagrid today." HE said as I removed his hand. "Blegh! Dude try some skin moisturizers every now and then!" I said causing more laughs.

"If you're done, then we can maybe start." He said turning to me. "Who is older here? Me. So shush it!" I say and put a finger to my lips in emphasis. A hand rose and I looked to them.

"Are you by any chance twins?" A dreamy voice said and I let out a laugh. "Nah! And if you read Skeeter's article don't believe her. She just spins her lies like a spider does it's web. This is mine and William's younger brother, Charlie."

He rolls his eyes at me and I grin. "So you're all third years? Which houses are here?" I ask. "Ravenclaw and Gryffindor." A student says and I laugh. "Gin where you at?! Come out already." I say a bit louder.

She groaned and stepped forward. "And Ginny here is our youngest sibling and only other girl in the family." People let out little murmurs and I hold up my wand. "Thank you! Now since my brother is here, we'll learn a bit about dragons! I know some about them but he knows more."

He nodded and stepped forward some. "So, everyone remember the first event the other day? Well the dragons used came from the reserve I work on. Anyone know the one Miss Delacour faced?" He asked his hands shoved in his pockets.

Some raised their hands and he pointed to the one I spoke to before, "Welsh Green. But how did you manage them here?" She asked curiously. I lean against the hut. "I suggest you lot sit down, he's about to become a storyteller." I said with a wink.

They all took my advice and sat down as Charlie went into detail what they did to achieve their goal. "Why did you choose dragons?" somebody asked. "Well I've always found them unique and interesting to say the least." He answered, after a minute.

"Yes the difference between me and him is he studies only one creature, I study any and every creature I come across." I say, taking a few steps forward. "I never prefferred one specific creature and I loved all of them so I study abroad, in other words."

"So what's your career called?" I grin putting a hand on my hip. "Mazizoology. I love doing it." We spend the rest of the hour talking about our jobs and the things we've discovered.

"I even found Butter. He was a baby though and seriously hurt. He had been caught in some kind of trap and was bleeding badly. If I hadn't of treated him immediately it would of killed him. So I healed him, after freeing him. This set the foundation of our bond and now we're quite close. CLoser than I ever was with my ex....... Anyways! Wow the hour is almost up!"

Charlie nodded and we let them talk for the last 5 minutes so we could maybe calm down ourselves. "Ok off you all go! See ya!" Charlie called and everyone stood. I let out a breathe I didn't realize I was holding.

"I'm glad that's over!" He let out a dry chuckle and I turned suspicously. "What?" "That was only the first class." He said with a smirk. "Forgot! Hence why I didn't choose to teach."

He rolled his eyes before a concerned expression replaced it. "Why did you mention Nathan? You rarely think of him. So why now?" I looked away. "Hoped you wouldn't notice. What do we have next? Slytherin and Hufflepuff? Or Ravenclaw and SLytherin? What group?" I say trying to change the topic.

"Whatever, and we have to wait and see." I groan and throw myself on the ground. "Why hello! Lovely timing yes?"A voice said and a head with blonde curls and red horn-rimmed glasses stood over me.

"Skeeter again?! What do you want?!" I demand in annoyance. "Just a interview. You and your 'Charlie' wouldn't mind would you?" She clucked and I sat up with a huff. "First: He is not just an object, he's my brother. Treat him as such. Second: Mind your own dirty business. Or are you just an incompetent witch you acts like a teenager?" I ask standing beside Charlie.

She looked like she did not like that last comment. "How mature. Such an attitude towards a true professional? How horrific!" I growled in anger. "You're one to talk! Invading our space like this! If it bugs you so much look in the library for family trees! It isn't hard lady!"

Charlie is gradually moving away from her and I could care less. "Well then I won't recieve readers now will I? This way we can do our interview sooner and I publish sooner as well!" She said as she sucked on the tip of her quill.

"Put. that. quill. away." I hissed softly. She rolled her eyes and set it upon her notebook that now hovered in the air beside her. "Now. What is your twins name Ms. Weasley?"

"Not answering." She narrowed her eyes. "How old is Charlie?" I shake my head. "No answer." "Mr. Weasley?" Charlie shook his head. "I follow my sister's lead." She growled. "I will get answers!" "And I'll get a break!" I called as she stalked away.

"Looks like no Hogsmeade." Charlie said sadly. "I know, sorry Char. Maybe during the summer? You were leaving Friday anyways." I say. "Yeah. I'll let that make up helping you today." He says with a smile. I roll my eyes. "Shut up."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I scowl, staring at the dress robes I had on. Why did I have to attend the Yule Ball?! I tug on the green fingerless gloves I bought to match and I let out a small breathe. "I don't have to dance, I just have to attend." I say to myself.

I walk down the stairs and hurry to get to the Great Hall. "Rocking the robes Ron." I tease as I pass my youngest brother. "Shut up Nova." I turn around and flash a grin at him. He gulps and I laugh.

"Be glad its Christmas Eve. Have fun tonight. But not too much~" I walk away leaving him confused. "OI!" He finally calls and I once again laugh at my brother's idiocy. I enter the Hall and stand near the wall.

"Now please welcome the champions!" Dumbeldore called and they walked in. Cedric Diggory was with Cho Chang, Fleur Delacour had Roger Daves with an odd look on his face, Haarry Potter had Parvati Patil on his arm, and Viktor Krum was with Hermione Granger.

The other students followed with their dates and watched as they danced the first dance. "Wow. WOOHOO! GO CHAMPIONS!" I shouted with a laugh. Fred and George appeared beside me with matching grins.

"You two could not have asked for a better way to confuse people." I say, indicating their matching dress robes, hair styles, and expressions. "Why of course-" "-our older partner in crime its-" "-such a perfect occasion to do-" "-such a feat."

I roll my eyes in exasperation. "Me and William don't do that. So why do you two?" I ask crossing my arms. "It's our-" "-signature trademark." "and still not taking a break from the gloves?" I shake my head.

"Nope." but they grow a sly grin again. "Did you invite-" "-a certain someone?" I lean forward and glare at them dangerously. "If you know what's best for you, you won't indicate Nathan by any means. Understood?" I hiss to their fearful faces.

They nod and head away. I sigh and rest my head in my palm. "Vould you like zo zance?" A heavily-accented voice asked. I look up to see a Durmstrang  boy before me. "No thank you. I'm going to look for my siblings." I say and walk away.

I notice Ginny is dancing with Neville Longbottom and ROn is sitting with Harry watching Hermione with Krum. I sit beside Parvati, "Why so grumpy?" He glances at me before returning to giving Krum the stink eye.

"

What's Gin doing here? Thought third years weren't invited?" I asked. "Neville asked her to come as his date." Harry said and I nodded. "Thanks Harry, but Ron should have answered seeing as she's his family as well." I said glaring at my younger brother.

"Victor has gone to get drink. Would you like to join us?" Hermione asked sitting down next to Harry. "No we would not like to join you and Vicktor." Ron said before Harry could respond.

I gave him a disapproving look. "What's got your wand in a knot?" "Exactly what I asked!" I said to Padma who was still beside Ron. "He's a Durmstrang. You're fraternizing with the enemy."

Ok Ron was going to far but I didn't get a chance to speak, "The enemy? Who was it wanting his autograph? Besides, the whole point of the tournament is international magical cooperation, to make friends." Hermione said. I silently cheered her on.

"Well, I think he's got more than friendship on his mind." I slapped the back of his head making him glare at me as I glared at him. Hermione stood and walked a few steps before turning, then walking away again. "Are you going to ask me to dance or not?" Padma asked.

"No." Ron didn't even look at her! She sighed and walked away. "Good luck." She said to me and I nodded. "You bloody idiots. Ignoring your dates! Just for that whole arguement with Hermione Ronald?! I cant. I can't!" I say and stalk off to the staircase outside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He's way too old." I look up and see Ron and Hermione leaving the Great Hall. "What?! What, that's what you think?!" She demanded and I stood up. "Yeah, that's what I think." He turned and headed in my general direction.

"You know the soltuion then, don't you?!" She said following him. "Go on." He said stopping at the bottom step. "Next time there's a ball, pluck up the courage and ask me before somebody else does! And not as a last resort." She said getting clearly upset.

I start to head down as Harry comes around the corner. "Well, I mean, that's just completely off the point. Harry." Hermione turned at this. "Where have you been?!" He turned and pointed to the Great Hall in confusion.

"Never mind, off to bed, both of you." She said and Harry brushed past her. "They get scary, when they get older." Ron said and I gave him a look that held disappointment and shock. "Ron, you spoiled everything!" She sobbed as they rushed up the stairs.

She sank onto the step and pulled off her heels. "Hey Hermione." I said softly and sat beside her. "C'mere." I pulled her to me and let her cry on my shoulder. "Ignore my bloody idiot of a younger brother. He doesn't know what he's saying."

She sniffled as I continued, "He and William did the same thing when I started dating Nathan.......... just 'cause he was in Slytherin." I said and she sat up some. "Give him time. He'll be forced to accept it eventually."

"I hope you're right."

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

OK so game plan for next chapter! It will not involve anything big in the book or movie. It will involve more about the past of Nova and Nathan. It will be more of a lightning chapter but should still work well enough to provide details.

The next event will be after that chapter. It will skip a lot since she isn't underwater at any point. Ok enough spoilers! Bye readers!

Frosty out!~
