Walking next to Hermione down Diagon Alley you happily turned to her. “So your parents are letting you get an owl this year as a birthday present? What kind are you going to get?” You asked getting the bushy haired girl to shrug as the both of you entered Magical Menagerie.

Looking around the shop you followed Hermione over to the owls when something brushed against your leg. Turning you blinked at the retreating cat making you nudge your friend. “Hey Hermione check out this cat.” You muttered following the ginger cat before picking him up. “Well aren't you just gorgeous?”

Hermione said petting the squashed face cat, when the saleswoman came up. “Ah I see you've found Crookshanks. He's been here for quite some time, no one really wants ‘im.” She said getting both you and Hermione to coo sadly at the scruffy looking cat. “I'll get him, he's a gorgeous cat.”

Hermione said taking the ginger cat over to the register. Snapping your fingers. “Oh, I almost forgot. Ron needs rat-tonic for Scabbers.” You muttered turning to get the medicine for the said rat. Walking back to the Leaky Cauldron Hermione was lightly scratching under Crookshanks chin when she turned to you.

“How's your little brother doing? You wrote that he was nearly in an accident a couple weeks back.” She asked getting you to grimace. “He's fine, give him a couple of hours and it's like it never happened. But me? I was so scared of losing my brother that it gave me nightmares.”

You said getting your friend to lightly rub your back getting you to smile. “I'm fine, but I'm sure Ron won't be to pleased to find out you got a cat.” You said lightly petting the ginger cat. Snickering “Well hell just have to deal with it.” Hermione said getting you to giggle as you opened the door to the Leaky Cauldron.

“Ron, I got the medicine for Scabbers!” You called getting the ginger to rush down the stairs. “Thanks for getting it for me. Poor Scabbers colors muted while we were in Egypt.” Ron said taking the medicine from you as he held up the rat to show you the faded color.

Bending down to lightly petting him under his chin. “I'm sure it's just sun bleached.” You said just as Crookshanks jumped out from Hermione's arms and jumped onto your back to attack the rat. Squealing as you almost fell you watched as Scabbers wriggled out of Ron's hold and ran for it.

“What the bloody hell?! What is that beast?” Ron yelled running after the cat. “Crookshanks is not a beast he my pet cat!” Hermione yelled running after Ron, sighing at the two you shook your head. “Looks like the common rooms going to be a war zone.” Fred muttered pushing his weight on your back as he used the top of your head as a head rest.

“Gah, Fred your heavy.” You grumbled getting the older boy to grin. “Aw, that's mean. What happened to our sweet little badger?” Fred teased lightly poking your cheek. Reaching up to pull his cheeks. “Sorry for being honest. But it's true you are heavy.” You said getting Fred to chuckle as he got off your back.

“George and I are planning some great pranks this year. You should help.” Fred asked making you shake your head with a smile as you started walking away. “Hmm, no I think I'll leave it to the professionals.” You said getting the older boy to shrug and turn to find his twin. Running up the stairs to your shared room with Hermione you accidentally bumped into someone.

“Oh sor- Harry! I didn't know you were here.” You said making the raven haired boy smile down at you. “Hey (First/Name) good to see you.” Harry said when the both of you heard Ron yelling at Hermione. “I'm warning you, Hermione! Keep that bloody beast of yours away from Scabbers or I'll turn it into a tea cozy.”

Scratching your head with a small laugh. “Hermione got a new cat that's been chasing Scabbers.” You muttered as Harry smiled and shook his head as the two continued to argue before turning to him. “Harry!”  Both Ron and Hermione called happy to see there friend.

Sitting at the table with Harry you lightly petted Scabbers who read on your lap as you turned to Ron took out a clipping from the Daily Prophet. Rolling your eyes at the head line "GRAND PRIZE WINNER VISITS EGYPT!" “Really Ron you couldn't wait two seconds to show it to Harry?”

You joked picking up the price of paper to look at the moving photo. The entire Weasley family is standing before the great pyramids, waving. Smack in the middle is Ron, Scabbers perched on his shoulder. Getting Harry to smile. “Egypt! What's it like?” He asked getting the ginger to grin. “Brilliant! It's got loads of old stuff. Mummies. Death masks. Tombs.”

Ron said getting Hermione to glance at him. “You know, the ancient Egyptians of the Nile River delta worshipped the cat goddess Bast.” She said making Ron glare at Her, then turn back to Harry. “I also got a new wand.” He said just as the door opened with the rest of the Weasleys coming in. “Not flashing that clipping about again, are you, Ron?”

George teased ruffling his younger brother hair. “I haven't shown anyone!” Ron argued getting Fred to roll his eyes. “No, not a soul. Unless you count (First/Name), Tom. The day maid. The night maid. The cook. The bloke that came to fix the toilet. That wizard from Belgium.” Fred said sarcastically when Molly rushed over to Harry.

“It's good to see you, Harry.” She said taking his hands happily. “Good to see you too, Mrs. Weasley.” Harry said happily when Arthur came up to him. “Harry. I wonder if I might have a word?” He asked making the scared boy nod “Of course, Mr. Weasley.” He said. Watching Mr. Weasley pull Harry away, you turned back to the group when Fred took the clipping from you.

“George's nose looks positively massive in that photograph.” Fred joked making Ginny snicker. “That's your nose, Fred.” She said getting a semi surprised look from her brother “Bloody hell. 'Tis, isn't it? Take after your side of the family, don't I, Mum?” Fred asked making you shake your head.
