《Ethereal ✭Fred Weasley✭》21.

Sophia scooped some soup out of the huge cauldron that Molly had made before sitting beside George and immediately began eating. Fred settled himself next to her, watching her shovel down the food in amusement. Molly and Remus had sat down on the sofa in front of fire place and were catching up like old times. Molly said that her husband Arthur won't be home till later this evening and that he was welcome to stay to talk to him too, only to have Remus decline politely and say he needed to head off for a potential job interview this evening.
"What's been happening then?" Sophia asked as she looked from each of the boys' faces.
"Well Bill and Charlie are here," Ron started and dawned a scowl when he said the next bit. "But Percy's driving us mad. He's got a job in the Ministry working for Barty Grouch or whatever."
"Crouch Ickle-Ron" Fred corrected him. "Haven't you been listening at all to Percy's constant drivle?"
"Of course I haven't, he's mental," Ron murmured. "And stop calling me that!"
"Mum's been pushing Fred and I about because of the new sweets we've invented," George explained next as he coincidentally held out a suspicious looking sweet towards Sophia. "Care for one?"
"Um no thanks," Sophia said unsurely as she busied herself with her soup. She had wanted seconds but was too shy to get up and get some, but Fred had spotted her hesitation and took the bowl from the table. He stood up and went to the cauldron himself, filling it up for her which resulted in more kissing noises being made from George.
"Oh did you two get your O.W.L scores?" Sophia perked up from the thought, looking between Fred and George who exchanged a look to which she didn't see.
"Yes but we don't need that kind of negativity at the table dear," George patted the girl on the shoulder. "You just started eating anyway!"
"How's your arm now Sophia?" Ron decided to ask, motioning to her arm that was covered by the sleeve of her top.
"Oh it's alright now, it scabbed over eventually," she informed by pulling up her sleeve to show the long scar that stretched from the end of her hand to her elbow. "I'll just have to have this forever. At least I can cover it unlike my dad's ones."
"And what are the sleeping arrangements?" Harry questioned to avoid the twins murder, as Sophia looked at both Fred and George with such fear and worry when hearing about their not so promising O.W.Lscores, that Harry was afraid she'd melt into a puddle of only those two emotions forever.

"You're in my room," Ron said before turning to Sophia who had happily chowed into her second bowl of soup after thanking Fred. "You and Hermione are in Ginny's room if that's okay?"
"Although we know that she'd much rather be in Fred's room," a new voice came from the staircase, making them all turn to see an older redhead standing there with a fang through his ear and his hair up in a ponytail.
"Oh lay off Bill," Fred groaned and Sophia blushed a deep shade of red. She relied on her hair flowing down to cover her face when she hunched over her soup bowl, already having finished her second serving. The boy named Bill laughed and walked over to stand at the head of the table, leaning his hands on it for balance.
"I'm only joking Freddie," Bill grinned before letting his eyes travel to the girl who he had been teasing. "Sorry to embarrass you so much Sophia, I just had to jump on the band-waggon of jokes that Ron and George have been making all Summer. You're actually quite popular in this household along with Harry here. I'm Bill by the way."
"Sophia," the girl mumbled behind her hair, even though he had made it clear that he already knew her name. Had she really been talked about that much at The Burrow before her arrival? Even the Weasleys that she hadn't met seemed to know about her, and she wasn't sure if she was flattered or utterly embarrassed by this. Judging by her blushing face, it was obviously the latter. Fred tried to catch her eye to give her an apologetic smile, but was halted in his attempt when Remus had spoken up from the living room.
"I'm going to be heading off now Soph. I probably won't be seeing you for a while so have a safe trip to the game and to Hogwarts," Remus said as Sophia got to her feet and embraced her father, to which he returned whole-heartedly.
"Be safe as well Dad... take some of the left over potion I made you if you have to," Sophia retorted in a quiet voice, leaving only Remus to hear. She had actually made him a Wolfsbane potion that had worked just as well as the one Professor Snape had made him. They had used a hefty amount of the money they still had on the ingredients, but it was worth it as Remus was much more conscious of his actions when he would go through his transformations.

"I will, be good this year. I don't want any letters home about you abusing Professor Snape in class. Your language during these holidays has been getting worse and worse," he answered and started making his way back into the fire place with some Floo powder in his hand.
"I wouldn't have to if he wasn't such a-"
"Goodbye Sophia!" Remus cheered before the two exchanged one last loving look and Remus erupted into green flames, disappearing completely from view.
"So is he the Werewolf?" Bill spoke up once again while pointing towards the now empty fire place. Sophia nodded in response and Bill pulled a look that showed he was impressed. "Cool."
For the remainder of the day, Sophia had tried her best to avoid Mrs Weasley as the woman had cornered her at least eight times since her father had left. Not to be misunderstood, Molly was an amazing lady and made Sophia feel like she had a Mother that she could remember. But the woman had seemed to want to know everything about her and would only let her leave when one of the Weasleys or Harry had come to get her for something. Lucky for Sophia, the boys had caught on to this and continued to enter the room every time she was pulled away by Mrs Weasley. They didn't really need her for anything, they just pitied the girl.
She had met Charlie who was also a very nice boy, and held the same humorous nature that Bill held. All the Weasleys seemed to be exceptionally nice to her and Harry, and she felt as if she was apart of the family (well she hadn't really talked to Percy at all, but Fred said he didn't count). She had yet to meet Arthur, the father of all these children, but she assumed that he was just the same as the rest of the family. Ginny had joined her multiple times in order to make her feel less 'over-whelmed' by testosterone, as she had put.
"What's the progress on Fred then?" Ginny inquired from her place on her bed. The two girls were in Ginny's poster covered room, and Sophia was sitting on her own mattress that was on the floor. She looked up questionably at the youngest Weasley from her wand that she had been fiddling with.
"What do you mean progress?" she asked and Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Oh don't make me laugh. Everyone saw you two about to snog last term before our air-headed brother decided ruin it," Ginny explained with a light chuckle. Sophia flushed at this and went back to look at her wand.
"You all saw that huh?" she mindlessly replied and Ginny sighed.
"So there's no other details? No secret meetings during the break? What kind of lovers are you two?" Ginny dramatically cried and Sophia jerked her head up to defend herself.
"We're not lovers!"
"Who's not lovers?" Hermione opened the door and poked her head into the room, a smile dawning her face. Ginny and Sophia got up from their sitting positions and embraced the new comer, asking how she's been during the summer. Once they had settled all that and Hermione found a place next to Sophia to sit, Hermione continued with the topic that she had caught on to when she had first entered the room.
"You two still haven't gotten together yet?" Hermione said in disbelief from her place next to Sophia on the mattress. The brought up topic made Sophia bury her face into her hands with a sound of annoyance , making both Ginny and Hermione groan at her hundredth attempt to avoid the subject. "You really need to get moving Soph. Men don't wait for long. They're attention span is very limited."
"Oh no Hermione, I think this particular man's attention will not be swayed for a while," Ginny giggled and they both laughed at Sophia's glare she gave them through the cracks of her fingers.
"Well what about you and Ronald then?" Sophia shot back to Hermione and turning to Ginny afterwards. "What about Harry huh?"
The two girls stopped their laughing and both wore the same caught-out and slightly flushed expression, forgetting the fact that they too could be teased. Sophia smirked in triumph at their faces before they could hear Molly call them down for dinner in the kitchen. Molly said that they'd all be eating dinner in the garden today, as the kitchen would be too cramped with this many people. She asked Bill and Charlie to start assembling three tables out in the yard while Fred and George were given the job to get rid of the Garden Gnomes that kept nipping at all their ankles.
