Madison Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Chapter 7: Remus Gets Yelled At

It was early in the morning when Harry snuck into my room and jumped on the bed. He landed right on my shins.

"Harry!" I whisper-yelled at him.

He smiled innocently. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to my trial now."

I smiled. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. Did Mrs. Weasley try to get your hair to lay flat?"

"Yeah."

I snorted. "Good luck with that. Hair gel can't even do that."

I pushed him off of the uncomfortable bed, and he landed on the floor with a thump. I pulled the covers off of me and put on my fuzzy bunny slippers and got out of bed. You never know what you might find on the floors of this place... Kreacher dropping's for example.

Don't ask. I'd rather not relive that disgusting momment.

Together, my twin and I journied down to the kitchen. I sat down across from Harry.

"Madison, dear! You're up early!" Mrs. Weasley said as she put a plate of pancakes in front of me,

"Yeah, well, Harry here thought that he should jump on my bed to tell me he was going to be leaving soon." I grumbled.

"I love you, sis." he smiled.

"He got my shins." I grumbed, glaring at him.

I poured an unhealthy amount of maple syrup on my pancakes. I just started to eat them when Mr. Weasley came down.

"Ready to go, Harry?"

"Yeah. Ready." he nervously said.

What a liar.

"You'll be fine, Hazzah." I said, using the nickname that I called him as a child.

"Don't call me Hazzah." he said. He then left with Mr. Weasley.

"Thanks for the breakfast, Mrs. Weasley."

"Oh, your welcome dear." she smiled at me as she took the dish from me.

I went upstairs. I raced to the bathroom after I got my clothes out for the day. I wanted to be first for the bathroom. You have no idea how long those Weasley boys take in the shower. I'm pretty sure that I heard Ron singing Bon Jovi in there the other day.

Now I understand why Crookshanks doesn't exactly like him.

After I showered and got dressed, I smiled.

Today, I wore a pair of blue skinny jeans, George's Gryffindor Qudditch shirt (I stole it from him), socks and my hightops. I pulled my red hair into a ponytail and put on my glasses. I was too lazy to put in my contacts.

Once I was back down in the kitchen, Mrs. Weasley asked me to go and wake up the twins.

Ugh. This is my work out for the day.

--------------

"Wake up, Fred." I said, slapping Fred in the face with his pillow. I had pulled his pillow out from under his head.

"No. Five more minutes, mum."

"EXCUSE ME? I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER, FREDRICK WEASLEY!" I exclaimed.

That woke him up. "Yes, ma'am."

"Now go get dressed for the day and go eat breakfast." I ordered.

"Ma'am yes ma'am!" he sauluted me as he marched over to the bathroom.

I smirked and went over to George's bed.

"Georgie." I whispered into his ear. "Georgie Porgie. It's time to wake up now."

"Mmmm... Madison?" he said.

"Yes, love." I said as he sat up.

"Good morning." he said to me.

I kissed him on his forehead.

"No kiss on the lips?" he pouted.

"I'll do that once you brush your teeth." I smirked.

-------------

Once everybody was down in the kitchen and seated, Mrs. Weasley announced what we were going to be doing today.

"Now, today, we're going to do more cleaning." she said.

I groaned. Hermione gave me a look that said shut up. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey, Maddie."

"Yes George?" I asked him. He sat beside me on my right.

"My morning kiss?"

I rolled my eyes and kissed him on the lips quickly.

"You call that a kiss?" Fred said, laughing.

"Alright, Haymitch. We can't exactly snog in the kitchen. Besides, it sounds like Remus just came."

And so he did.

"Remember, Madison. As your punishment, you can't be in the same room as George for a whole week."

I grumbled.

"What did you do?" asked Ginny.

"She snuck out to see Harry. She wanted to come with us to get him, so she went before we did. When I strictly told her no."

"Sorry for wanting to see my brother!"

"It was very foolsih of you! You could of gotten hurt!"

"WELL, SORRY IF I JUST WANTED TO SEE THE ONLY PERSON I CONSIDER A BLOOD RELATIVE LEFT!"

"YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM ANYWAY!" Remus yelled back.

All of the occupants in the kitchen were watching the two of us as we yelled at eachother. They watched us like a tennis match; eyes going from one person to another.

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! NONE OF YOU DO! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS!"

"OH, I THINK THAT I DO!" Remus shouted back to me.

Tears were flowing down my face now.

"DID ANY OF YOUR PARENTS DIE WHEN YOU WERE JUST A BABY!? NO! HARRY AND I ARE FAMOUS BECAUSE OUR PARENTS DIED! NOTHING ELSE!"

"Triwizard Tournament?" Ron put in.

George and Hermione smacked the back of his head.

"NO!" I continued. "NOBODY WAS THERE FOR US AS KIDS! WE HAD NOBODY! OUR AUNT AND UNCLE AND DUDLEY DIDN'T CARE! WE'VE NEVER HAD A LOVING FAMILY!"

"Madison-"

"HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR PARENTS DIE!? MY DAD WAS FIRST! MY MUM WAS SECOND! THEN ME AND HARRY GOT OUR SCARS! THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER ABOUT THEM! SO DON'T THINK YOU DO UNDERSTAND!"

"BUT I DO!"

"NO YOU DON'T! HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR PARENTS DIE? BARTY CROUCH DIE? CEDRIC DIGGORY? WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE IN YOUR DREAMS? HAS ANYBODY HERE BESIDES GINNY AND I BEEN POSSESSED? NO! SO ALL OF YOU JUST NEED TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT HOW HARRY AND I FEEL!"

That's when I broke down and lay my head on the table and cried a river.

"I know whose going to die. I saw it when I was twelve. I could have saved Cedric! I didn't! It's all my fault!"

"No it's not." Remus said.

"How do you think I will feel when I'm sixteen, when Dumbledore dies? When I'm seventeen when Moody, Tonks, Remus, Snape, and Fred die? When Sirius dies? It will be all my fault if I don't save them."
