Josh walked into the building. How long it had been since he had been here? Three maybe four years? His hair bright red, such as all the other Weaslys, was down passed his shoulders now and was parted down the middle. It looked the same, smelled the same, and it felt good to have the odor of the school back in his nose. He remembered all the memories he had made here with friends he had met. That was all gone, he was sure most of his friends from before had left. He had hopes of seeing his sister but it wasn't a guarantee. Even if he did he knew he had a punishment coming.
He began walking down the hallway not seeing one familiar face. It was a little awkward but it didn't matter as long as he was back. He felt safe in this building, it was like some indescribable comfort that he hadn't felt for a while.
Isabelle came out of Transfiguration carrying her bag, she saw a red head boy. He must be a Weasley, and she came up to him and said "Hello, are you one of Ginny's brothers? I'm Isabelle, who are you?"
Josh looked at this never before seen face. "Yes, I am one of Ginnys many brothers. The names Josh." He gave her a grin. One of the biggest smiles he had given in years. People still seemed to be nice and caring here. Just like when he had left school.
Alexis rushed her way down the halls. She had just came out of her potions class, and changed back into her regular clothes instead of her uniform. She quickly glanced around, and slowed down her pace. It was at least an hour until her next class. Alexis noticed Isabelle who was talking to a boy she hadn't recognized. She heard the boy mention his name to be Josh. Alexis walked over to the two of them.
"Hello Isabelle." She greeted her before turning to the boy.
"Hey. I'm Alexis, or Lexi. Nice to meet you." Alexis introduced herself.
Josh turns attention to Alexis. "Nice to meet you." He smiled once again. He thought to himself two smiles in one day? He hadn't felt this good in a long long time. He felt refreshed like it was his first year here again."what year are you in Lexi?" He said with a bit of enthusiasum in his voice.
Alexis caught his smile, and she smiled as well.
"I'm a sixth year. What about you?" She answered before asking him the same question.
Alexis leaned back against the wall that she stood in front of. She adjusted her weight, and sighed quietly. She continued to grin softly.
His smile continued as he said "I'm supposed to be seventh year, but i basically dropped out." He sighed and looked away for a minute then back at Alexis."But now I'm back hopefully ill be able to finish." He couldn't help but think that his sister would be too mad to even talk to him. This was the second time he left without telling her and this one was a longer period of time than before." Well your my first new friend because i have no idea who anyone is now." He said smiling again at her.
"Well, you wouldn't know who I am, I'm a fifth year. But I came to Hogwarts last year as a first year, but I skipped a few years. The only person you would know, before you met us. Would probably be Ginny." says Isabelle, and she smiled.
He turned to Isabelle. "Well yes Ginny is my sister. Shes gonna give me a good whack in the face as soon as she sees me i know it." He said looking down both ends of the hallway for what he thinks is going to be a furious red-headed sister. "I'm off to the common room to drop off my stuff wanna come? This trunk isnt going to move itself." He said picking up his trunk.
"Don't worry, Alexis and I know a certain someone who can help. (Albus.) I know an easier way move the trunk." says Isabelle and she levitated the trunk in the air.
"Hold on there." He opened up the trunk and pulled out his old Gryffindor robe and his wand."Ill probably need these." He smiled at Isabelle his freckles setting off his red hair to make it a kind of glow about him.uhi in his robe pocket and closed the trunk. "Alright lets get going." He said beginning to walk down the hall and beckoning Isabelle to follow with his trunk.
Jessie saw a man walk down the hall, his red hair glowing. She smiled and walked up to him saying, "Uh, excuse me? Do I know you?" She was searching her memories, looking for a moment when she may have seen him.
Josh looked at this girl which he had never seen along with all of the other faces he had just met. "I don't believe you do." He smiled and said "My names Josh Weasley. Ive been gone for a long time so im sure we haven't met." He stuck out his hand for her to shake.
"Hey Jessie! This is Ginny's brother Josh! We are going to the common room! Don't tell Ginny yet! We are gonna need assistance from Albus, so she doesn't go hurting her brother." says Isabelle and she followed him, and she waved for Jessie to follow them.
Jessie nodded and said, "Well, no wonder then! You're a Weasley! It's nice to meet you! I'm Jessie Hughes. I'm one of your sister's students. I won't tell Ginny, but I can probably help you find Albus!"
Alexis watched Isabelle, and Josh as they walked towards the common room. She looked up at the clock, and noticed she still had awhile until her next class. She looked around for something to do to kill the time.
Josh chuckled a bit. "I don't need help from anyone really. Ive had plenty of beatings from Ginny and i deserve this one more than any of them." He scanned the hallway again for his sister.
"Are you sure?" Jessie asked, knowing they could help. "We could probably spare you a little pain. And plus what could you have done to deserve a beating from your sister?"
"Yeah I'm sure. It's a long story, but I'll make it short a few years ago I ran away from the school without telling anyone." He shrugged his shoulders. "That's all" He said making a face that showed a bit of pain. He did not want to stay on the topic.
"Wow, that must of been hard to do. I understand why Ginny would be mad at you." says Isabelle.
"Yeah I'd rather not talk about it." He said sternly."Lets get up to the common room i need to drop all of this stuff off you coming Jessie?"
"Okay, lets get going." says Isabelle.
They both walked up to the common room. "Okay go ahead and drop it here." He turned to walk out the door as if in a hurry.
Just as Sky was entering the Common Room, she bumped into something. Or somebody.
"Sorry about that." She said as she stepped aside. "I really should pay att--Oh. We have a new face in our house huh?" She held out a hand. "I'm Sky Mason. 7th year."
"I'm not exactly new." He said with a smirk. He shook her hand. "Josh Weasley." he said looking at her. "I should be a 7th year I'm not sure right now though."
"Oh?" She said. As she shook his hand.
"Have you been away?"
"Yeah I'm coming!" Jessie said, following them. She saw Sky bump into Josh, and giggled.
His smirk turned into a small but assuring smile. "Yeah." He said sharply."I'm off to down the the Great Hall with all of this fellow." He said moving his head towards Isabelle as a gesture that he was talking about her.
Jessie bit her lip. He clearly regretted his decision about leaving, but at least he was doing something about it!
He walked out of the door and turned his head without stopping. "Try to keep up Isabelle." He said smiling at her."I'm not stopping for anyone." He said jokingly as he turned his head back around to assure himself he wasn't about to run into anyone.
Jessie followed, keeping up as he had told Isabelle to. She wanted to hear more about why he had left, but he had made it quite clear that he didn't like talking about it.
"So, I don't think i caught what year your in." He said looking at her. He was taller and slinkier than Isabelle so he had a faster pace than her so she would have to keep a faster pace to keep up with him.
(Sorry for not posting, I have been grounded from the computer. I only have ten minutes to post for right now, til I have to go to class.)
Isabelle ran after Josh and said "I'm supposed to be a 2nd year, but last year I skipped to fourth, and now I'm a fifth year." she smiled.
(Thats fine i completley understand ;) )
He looked as Isabelle and smiled back at her. He turned down a hallway with a sharp turn making a squeaking sound on the floor. His robes and hair flew up as he did so. "Nice and how did you manage to do that?" He said sounding quite impressed. If anything Josh would have failed a year not skipped any. He barley winged it on his fifth year.
*Where the f**k is Isabelle* Thought Bucky *She should be here for our date*, Bucky ran back to Hogwarts trying to find her, two minutes later he saw her he ran up to her but something blocked his path, it was a boy with red hair and freckles, Bucky became red in the face "Err sorry mate" apologised Bucky.
Josh stopped walking and turned around to look at Buck. "Uh, who are you exactly." Josh said not trying to sound rude but relized he was coming off as a jerk after he said it. He looked as Isabelle then back at the boy. "Did you need something?" Josh said smiling at him. He thought the smiling would redeem himself for coming off as rude.
"Bucky" Said Bucky "Nice to meet you" He said putting his hand out to shake, Bucky didn't think that the boy came of rude at all, "And you are?" Asked Bucky.
"Hi Bucky! This is Josh, a seventh year. I was only able to skip those many years because I'm very intelligent to be able to." says Isabelle smiling.
Josh takes Buckys hand and shakes it. "Nice to meet you, Im' Josh." He then looks at Isabelle and says "I can tell you seem pretty smart." Josh put his hands in his pocket. He began to get cold for some reason.
"Are you ok Josh?" asks Isabelle.
"G'day Josh" Said Bucky."Isabelle why'd ya stand me up?" Asked Bucky.
"Sorry, I had classes to go to. Then I met Josh." says Isabelle.
"O it's alright" Bucky told Isabelle, "My sister is being such an idiot she should leave you alone she keeps teasing you" Bucky told Isabelle.
"She's probably jealous." says Isabelle.
