Hello's and Hugs

After eating, Bill and I went to the Garden. Since Mrs Weasley ordered him to degnome the garden and i am here to watch him.

 

Bill went to the garden while i found a spot where to sit and have a view of Bill degnoming the garden. Moments later, there was a violent scuffling noise, the peony bush shuddered and Bill straightened up.

 

"Well, Francie, this is a gnome" i heard him say and showed me, a gnome. It turned out to be a small and leathery-looking, with a small knobbly, bald head like a potato. Bill already got hold of the gnome, he turned it upside down and started to swing it in circles hardly and let go of it. The gnome flew about 50 meters far.

 

"Why do you swing them like that, Bill?" i asked. "Aren't you just moving them?"

 

"Oh, no. They still find their way back to the garden if we just move them. But by doint what i just did a few moments ago, they get dizzy and won't find their way back here" he answered and continued to look for some other gnomes.

 

Bill caught about 22 gnomes before we got back inside because the sun was starting to become harsh. Bill instructed me to go with him so he could give me his textbooks.

 

"Here are all of the textbooks that i had when i was in my third year, you can borrow it for a while, i assume you're already done with the textbooks of second years?" he asked.

 

"'Bout to, the topics were on the letters that Neville sent me, but unfortunately i left the letters on Gran's house. But i'm about to be done with their last lesson" i replied.

 

"I also still have my textbooks from my fourth year, would you also like to borrow it? Since neither Ginny or Ron wasn't even interested on doing advance studying, i don't mind you borrowing my notes. It would be great that you would be prepared with the lessons you will face in your fourth year" Bill suggested and added more textbooks and handed it to me.

 

After he gave me the textbooks, I thanked him and got out of his room so he could rest.

 

All i did the whole day was to read and read and read. The next morning i came back to the Weasleys. The hobby of Dad leaving me to the Weasleys home continued for three more days, and now it's Monday. The day that i will see Neville, again.

 

Because of my excitement, i woke up early than usual, took a shower and cooked breakfast for myself and Dad. Since we moved here, we always eat breakfast at the Weasleys, but i think it will change now.

 

"Daddy! Daddy! WAKE UP!" i knocked loudly on my Father's room. The sun is about to rise and he's still sleeping. After a few more knocks, the door finally opened.

 

"Okay, I'm awake" he said before closing the door. I went back to the kitchen and ate. It was just bacon, sunny-side up and rice. Typical Filipino breakfast. After eating i prepared my dad's lunch, which is just Egg and Bacon sandwich, some fruits, orange juice and waffles. Auntie Mahva taught me how to cook before, so i wont starve.

 

Surely, Dad wont eat breakfast because it's getting late, so i packed the foods that i cooked for the both of us and will just eat it again on Gran's house. We just travelled by floo and Dad just left me on Gran's living room. Gran's probably on her garden so i didn't bother to go there.

 

Because i woke up early, i didn't realize that i fell asleep.

 

"Francine, wake up. We'll leave the house and fetch Neville at King' Cross any minute now" I heard Gran's voice. I quickly stood up and went to the bathroom.

 

I just washed my face and redo my hair before leaving the Bathroom.

 

Gran chose to Apparate because we can't travel by Floo together. When we arrived at King's Cross, Gran and i entered the barrier of Platform nine and three-quarters.

 

She quickly looked for Neville while holding my left wrist. I, on the other hand, was in awe of my sorrundings. Almost all of the students were already out of the train so we had a hard time looking for Neville. He must've been with his friends.

 

"Francine!" a heard a familiar voice call me by my name.

 

I turned to look at the person and i grinned. Long time no see, cousin.
