Chapter 5 - A New Game

I cried for hours. I needed to pull myself together. it had to be around 11:00pm now, I'd cried for to long, I needed to stop being a wimp! My life hadn't been going the way I wanted it to, but then when does it ever, I'd fined something good to be happy about and then I would get my heart broken into pieces. This time I needed to come to terms with what was going on with my life, I had about three day's till the end of the summer and I was going to make it a good three days. My thoughts are interrupted by a pop and before me a saw two young "men" with red hair, they looked eerily similar. One of them held a small plate in his hand while the other held a cup in his. "we thought we'd bring you some food since you weren't at dinner." Fred placed the plate down on her side table and George set the cup next to it. they stood there for a moment as they waited for a response untill they stated to head for the door. "wait!" they both turned around to look at their older sister "Harry taught me this game of card, would you guys want to go play it downstairs for a bit?" she said shyly. Fred gained back his confidence and straitened up he gave a little proper cough, as he began to speak as a proper fool, "yes, let us get divers in the games of Muggle." George joined in "ahh. yes brother! let the pure be pure no more! let us play the Muggle games!" "right indeed brother! then let us go are marry way!" with that I quickly grabbed my deck of cards and happily began to run down the stairs to after the two. I stepped down off the last stair to see Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny, and the twins waiting around the living room, faces lit by the fire, I walked over and sat between Hermione and Harry as Fred and George took seats opposite me around the coffee table and Ginny and Harry sat across from each other in big single chairs. now that we where all there Harry began to explain the rules. " ok, so this game is called war! the goal of the game is to get all the cards" he began to hand out the cards until the deck was gone. Ron began to flip the cards over. " Ron!" Ron stopped to look at Harry " Ron, your not supposed to see the cards." with that Ron became a little red in the ears. "ok, now when we each flip a card and the person with the highest card wins the cards on the table and you want the most by the end!" Ron seemed a bit confused by this, but Lupin had brought us candy earlier in the day, so Ron could have cared less about the game. After about 15 minutes of playing the game it was down to Fred and Harry. "well you just a right old git aren't you Harry, why can't you just give me a change!" Fred wined. "it not his fault you suck at this game Freddy" Ron said through a month full of licorice wand, "you got out first Ron!" announced Hermione and everyone let out a little giggle. Harry one the game but Fred decided he wanted to keep playing so that he could beat Harry. after about an hour of Fred not winning I started to get tired so I said goodnight to the kids and headed up for bed.
