Divas Las Vegas
Chapter One- The Road Trip
The Weasley kitchen was chaotic. Everyone was at home for the summer. Including Harry and I. Well, us and the whole Weasley family, that's a lot of people. Ginny and I were sitting at the Dining Table. She was reading a quiz from a popular witches' magazine. I had to answer the questions. The topic was 'Are you over him yet?' I don't think I have to tell you who I had in mind.
After Ginny finished quizzing me, she frowned.
"Okay, I guess we all knew the answer, but," Ginny said.
"What?" I asked.
"Well, you're definitely not over him. That's all I'm saying." She got up to go help her mom with the dishes.
I grabbed the magazine and read the article.
Score – 20 – 30 "Still Obsessed"
Well, I didn't like what they had to say. What do these magazines know anyway?
I decided to go help Mrs. Weasley as well. It was the least I could do for letting me stay with her family for the summer. Ginny and I were planning to go on a road trip. Something she's become obsessed with after she saw a few muggle teen movies. The only thing we couldn't decide on was where to go.
Just then Ron and Harry descended from the staircase at an alarming speed.
"Hermione," Harry smiled, "Good morning."
I had forgiven Harry and he had forgiven me about the whole Draco incident. He turned out to be right. Well, partly. It's been well over a year since the Malfoys left. Now we've left Hogwarts and are…doing nothing really.
Ginny still has a year to go.
"Ronald Weasley," Mrs. Weasley barked, "It's a miracle you passed those apparition exams now put that skill to some use, young man. Don't let me catch you making such a noise again! Surely!"
"Yes, mother." Ron mumbled. He sauntered off to find Fred and George.
"Harry! Did you sleep well? I hope Arthur's snoring didn't keep you up at night!" Mrs. Weasley asked, beaming at Harry.
"No, Mrs. Weasley, I slept fine. Thanks." He said, and then he ran off to find Ron.
"Hermione, do you know the spell for carving turkeys? Wait, must be in here somewhere." She said, flipping the pages of a wizarding cookbook. "Aha! Here, just read this, follow the instructions carefully. Now, Ginny! I thought I told you to dice the onions, not chop the carrots."
Ginny voiced another spell and swished her wand. Immediately all the onions were diced neatly next to the carrots. She smiled smugly at me.
I followed the instructions and the turkey was carved and ready by the time Mrs. Weasley had returned with the rest of the dinner on a tray. The Mr. Weasley returned from work and we all sat down to dinner.
"Ginny, I've heard you have plans to go on a…road trip?" Mr. Weasley said in between mouthfuls of Mrs. Weasley's delicious dinner, "What's that like?"
Ginny looked at me to explain.
"Well, basically we travel around a place in a car."
"What about brooms?" Mr. Weasley inquired.
"Well, we use a car usually. Not brooms. It's a muggle custom amongst teenagers."
"Hey!" Objected Ron, mashed potatoes flying out of his mouth. "We want to come too!"
I looked at Ginny. She looked at me. I didn't mind, but I was worried if Ginny did.
She nodded slightly.
"Uh…yeah sure you can come." I said nodding, after all, they were my close friends. My very close friends.
Harry smiled, Ron grinned. Not a very pretty sight as he had food stuck in his teeth.
"We'd love to tag along," said the Fred, "But, there's too much business at the Wheeze's."
"Sorry, Hermione." George said.
"That's fine." I had to admit, it would have made things a bit more interesting if the twins had decided to come.
"Well, when's this thing anyway?" Ron asked.
"And where are we planning to go?" Harry added.
"We haven't made up our minds yet." Ginny told them.
"How about Egypt?" Bill suggested, "I could arrange a car for you."
"Or Romania," Charlie pointed his fork at us.
The only family member not present at the table was Percy. And that was for obvious reasons. He had had a dispute with his family a long time ago and still hadn't apologized.
"I don't think so," Ginny said. Harry's face fell; I could tell he would have really loved to see Dragons.
"Why not?" Bill asked.
"Well, we've been to Egypt before and Romania sounds a bit…wild."
The family laughed.
"That's half the fun of it!" Ron protested, "God, Ginny, you are boring!"
"Oh shut up you sissy, you're the one petrified of Spiders! Honestly! Spiders! The shame!" Ginny shot back. Ron blushed and was about to say something.
"Stop it, children! That's enough!" Mrs. Weasley barked.
"I'm not a child anymore mom, I'm 18!" Ron said hotly.
Mrs. Weasley scoffed, and returned to her meal. There was silence at the table until Errol, the Weasley Family's aged owl flew in through the kitchen window, hooting loudly. He dropped a roll of parchment into Mr. Weasley's lap and then crashed into the kitchen wall. The table stopped eating and watched as Mr. Weasley opened the parchment and read. Fred and Charlie who were seated on either side of Mr. Weasley read over his shoulder.
There was a sharp intake of breath by all of them.
"What? Arthur? What's the matter? Is it from the ministry? Has You-Know-Who returned? What Arthur? Tell me!!" Demanded Mrs. Weasley frantically.
Arthur Weasley smiled suddenly, "Really, Molly, It's nothing!" He said, "If anything it is good news!"
Mrs. Weasley grabbed the paper, and chuckled evilly. "Oh, they are in for it now!"
Ron, George, Bill and Ginny made grabs for the paper. Mrs. Weasley held it over her head and shooed the children away!
"Merlin's beard! Sit down!" It was no use, eventually George got a hold of the paper. By the time all of them had finished reading it, whistling and laughing about it, Harry and I had finished our dinner and were waiting patiently for it to be kept on the table. When it had, we read it.
"Malfoy Family Sighted – Las Vegas!"
I quickly read the rest of the article, which was mostly about the shady past the family had, and then looked at Ginny.
Now we definitely knew where our Road Trip would be taking us…
