" Hey Ron HEADS UP!" cried a female voice from somewhere above Ron who was degnoming the garden.
"What?" Ron looked up just in time to be hit in the face with one big ass water baloon." Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! DAMN IT! SAMANTHA CATHERINE DEVOLTON I AM SO GONNA GET YOU!"
"Oh I'm really scared now. Look I'm shakin in my brand new Gochi boots." Sam laughed as she dismounted her broom next to Ron. She had the best broom on the market, ' The Cloud Stalker 5000'.
"Ha Ha very funny. Laugh it up!"
"Alright I will. hahaha..."
"So? What did your parents say?"
"Oh they said... something about go pack if you want to get there on time and making sure to take everything i'd need for school... i think"
"So you mean you can stay! THAT'S AWSOME!" Ron then took the girl infront of him in a big hug.After being let out of Ron's grip the two walked into 'The Burrow'.
Samantha was a fairly tall girl about 5'11" with brown hairand sky blue highlights. She wore contacts that made her eyes look violet though in reality they were a light brown. She had just moved a long walk's distance from The Weasley's over the summer.
Ron and Sam, as she was called, met at an over night Quiditch camp. Ron was a keeper and Sam a beater, they were on the same practice team though. The two became friends after a meating in the infirmary, where Ron had been being treated for a broken arm.Samwas being repriomanded for gettinginto a fist fight with another Beater named Henry, and was being forced towait until the boyregained conciousnessso that she could appoligise for knocing him out. They struck up a conversation and had been inseperable scince.They spentalmost theentire summer together.It was a week before Hogwarts started and Sam was going to spend the rest of the summer with the Weasleys.
The door squeaked as a soaking wet Ron and slightly damp Sam(she had gotten a lot of water on her when Ron hugged her) entered the house.
"Ronald Weasly what happened to you!"
"I umm... well..." Mrs. Weasley looked like she was about to get angery and that is really scary, and all Ron could do was sit and stammer. Rolling her eyes at Ron she decided to save him from the wrath of Mrs. Weasley.
"I'm sorry Mrs Weasley, it was all my fault." Sam Interjected" I was coming over to tell you that my Mum and David said I could stay and I thought it would be funny if I hit Ron with a water baloon. It was childish and I am truly sorry." She said giving puppy dog eyes to Mrs Weasly.
"Oh it's all right dear... and I'm glad your mother and step-father said you could stay" Mrs. Weasley never got mad at Sam. She had gotten it into her head that one day the two would fall in love and get married, and didn;t want to scare her off before then." Oh and Ron go upstairs and change and set up a cot in your room."
Ron was now very confused,"Why?"
"Because your soaking wet." Mrs. Weasley said off handedly.
"No I ment why put a cot in my room I thought Sam was staying in Ginny's room?"
"Yes she is, but where did you expect Harry to sleep. Surley you didn't think he would be in Ginny's room too." Mrs. Weasley said with a mischevious smile.
"Harry's coming!" Ron exclaimed, his eyes going wide.
"Who's Harry?" it was now Sam's turn to be confused.
Ron had dashed upstairs as fast as his now muscular legs could carry him.
"Harry Potter. He's Ron's best friend, he's staying with us this summer aswell" Mrs. Weasley answered, seeing as Ron was too excited from the news to stay and do so.
"Ron is friends with Harry Potter?" Sam asked eyes slowly widening. Ron had never mentioned knowing him before.
"Yes. He attends Hogwarts as well. He is a very nice boy, I'm sure you'll get along just fine. Now run along and change your clothes we wouldn't want you catching a cold. Arthur should be home any minuet now with Harry in toe, you can meet him soon enough."
Sam had heard of Harry Potter and his tales she thought he was amazing however she was far from a crazy fan girl.She was mearly curious as to what the BoyWho Lived was like.
After asking Mrs. Weasly to unshrink her luggage, and putting her clothes away(Sam had more clothes then she knew what to do with.Sam's parents were divorced and she lived with her mother who had just married a rich guy who thought he could buy Sam's affections with lavish gifts and presents.)she changed into a pair of muggle warm up pants,(a/n: you know those pants that you wear in fall when you practice for soccer and other sports) a t-shirt that belonged to her older brother and a pair of sneakers. After putting her hair up in a sloppy ponytail she left Ginny's room and walked down the stairs. There she saw Ron sitting on the couch talking to a thin boy with untamable black hair and shinning emerald eyes that were covered by a pair of thick rimmed circular glasses. The boy was wearing a pair of obviously hand me down kakis and a t-shirt that had to be at least 5 sizes too big. All in all though he didn't look too bad was what Sam thought.
Sneaking up behind Ron, sam signaled to the boy accross from him to keep quiet. Then silently she put her face next to Ron's ear, Ron being to engrossed in what he was telling Harry didn't notice any of this until, " HIYAH RON!"
"Ahh!"Sam laughed loudly as Ron jumped at being caught off gaurd."GOOD MERLIN!Sam don't sneak up on me like that you know I hate it"
Trying to regain controll of her breathing Sam ploped down in comfy chair she had long ago cliamed as hers, still laughing.
"Haha ha..." Ron Grumbled.
Harry was sitting on the couch next to Ron laughing slightly at his friend's expense. As he laughed he took in the image of the girl who had just come down the stairs. She seemed kind of odd, with her blue striped hair and purple eyes. Harry couldn't help but wonder if she could morph her features like Tonks.
"So Freckles, "Harry's thoughts were inturupted by the girl's voice "I'm guessing this is Harry?" she said looking Harry up and down.
"Oh yeah, Sam this is my best mate Harry Potter. Harry this is Samantha Devolton." Ron said Sam leaned over and shook Harry's hand.
"Call me Sam. Nice to meet you Harry." Sam leaned back in her chair.
"Nice to meet you too. Umm... did you just call Ron'Freckles'?" Harry aske slightly confused
Ron blushed as Sam started to laugh."Yeah. That's the nickname our instructer gave to Ron at Quiditch camp."
"Oh, so your the Sam I' ve been haring so much about." In all Ron's letters to Harry there had been some mention of Sam. He had had a crush on Sam when he first met her but those feelings dimished as he grew to know her now she was more like another sister, only not as girly as Ginny, and according to one letter, a bit more annoying.
"Yup. That's me" Sam said grinning.
"SAM!"
"Wow i'm popular today." Sam said as they turned to the door to see a grinning Ginny run through the door only to the glomp onto Sam who stood up to defend herself from the attack of the red haired female. Ginny had been at Qudditch camp too, and knew Sam through there.After throughly attacking Sam Ginny then noticed Harry on the couch and gave him ahug as well.
"Harry! Oh I missed you! I hope the Dursleys weren't complete gits to you this summer." Ginny said letting go of Harry to sit on the other side of him.
" No not completely." Harry said smiling at Ginny.
"Good. I take it you've met Sam."
"Yeah."
"Don't let her looks fool you she's really nice." Ginny said as Sam glared at her.
"Hahaha... very funny Ginevra" Sam said putting extra force on Ginny's full name.
"I thought so Samantha" Ginny replied doing the same.
"I think I'll go see if mum needs any help with dinner." Ron said standing up and heading toward the kitchen.
"Yeah right, you're just going to try to get yourself a snack," Harry said. Ron turned around and smiled." Well at least get me one too." Harry said grinning. Ron rolled his eyes muttering good naturedly aboout horrible best friends making him fetch things like a slave.
"Hey Ron!" Sam stopped him, "Get me one too" Smiling sweetly at him as Ginny piped in with her own demand.
"Certainly your highness, is there anything else I can do for you?" Ron asked with a low exadarated bow.
" Yes you can shine my shoes." Sam said putting her foot out infront of her, only to have Ron give herthe fingerbefore entering the kitchen.Turrning to Harry with a smirk on her face she yelled after him, " Anytime Freckles,"before the three of them broke out in luahgter as Ron's now completely red head dissapeared behind the kitchen doors.
