I'm Mini Weasley, I'm eighteen, and I'm only partly human.

“Well, congratulations. Next few year is going to be about that, trust me.”

[dominiweasley]

“Looking forward to it. At least I’m a real life adult now.”

“So, how’s higher education?”

[dominiweasley]

“Decent. We haven’t had much actual education yet- it’s mainly learning names and getting lost.”

“Nice to see you, too.”

[dominiweasley]

“Sorry, but I have better things to do than hang around with an old friend who’s fucking my cousin.” Mini stared Ally down coldly for as long as she could handle. “Kidding!” Her face cracked into a grin as she swept her still petite friend into a hug. “It’s been months!” She exclaimed breathlessly as she let Ally go.

“Its fine. If this is a bad time, I can just come back later.”

[dominiweasley]

“No! Not at all, not at all. I just- have all this- paperwork… ah, forget it. How are you?”

[ohrxse]

“Can I suggest a day planner any louder?”

[dominiweasley]

“You sure can. Will I listen? Probably not. It’s a lovely gesture though.”

“Would you care for a comb for your hair?”

[dominiweasley]

“Do I need one?” Mini ran her fingers through her hair. “Oh my god. That’s probably a good idea, actually.”

“‘Come in’? Dominique, since when did Hogwarts hire you as a bouncer?”

[dominiweasley]

“I meant like... the room. Y’know, other people don’t mind when I say dumb stuff. They think it’s adorable.”

[dominiweasley]

“Oh fuck, it’s Tuesday already? I had to- Oh my god, that was rude, I’m so sorry... come in!”

[jspxtter]

James’ eyes widened as he listened to Dominique speaking, frowning in various parts or the story and blinking in others. He was taken aback to say the least as he attempted to process what he was hearing, highlighting the fact that he had no idea where to start.. “Did you like kissing her? Did she like kissing you?” The boy questioned, confusion settling onto his features as he considered it. He’d always assumed their friendship was strictly platonic, but clearly he’d been missing something and even then, he cared a great deal less about that and more about the fact that she’d kissed Sawyer. “Actually no, forget that, why would she kiss Burwell?” Shaking his head in disbelief, he leant back against a desk, running a hard through his hair as though to try and order his thoughts. He had so many questions to pose, but he knew he ought not to. Did she like kissing Sawyer? Did she feel guilty for it? “I saw her this morning, she seemed.. normal, but you shouldn’t have left her alone. She was drunk and probably a tad upset since you upped and left after she snogged you. Why didn’t you come and find me?”

[dominiweasley]

Mini was relieved, of course- she’d been worrying about Ally since the morning. But now that she’d said everything she felt... guilty. She’d left her best friend alone, drunk and upset and- fuck, she’d told James about Ally kissing Sawyer. She looked away from her cousin as she started to talk. “Um... I don’t think she liked it. I don’t think I liked it either.” She furrowed her brows, forcing herself to meet James’ gaze again. “You don’t have to worry about Sawyer, you know. She regretted it.” At least Ally was ok, and not off crying in a bathroom somewhere. She probably didn’t really care, actually- she was probably off with some other friends, not giving it a second thought. “I thought- she said she was fine, James. And no offence, but even if I had gotten someone to help I doubt it would have been one of th boys she was getting drunk about in the first place.”

[ohrxse]

“I figured.” A little smug, yes, but she deserved to be a little smug right now. “Of course, really. I haven’t the skills for it. Nor do I have the ‘Hit Wizard’ bravery. I could never do what they or the Aurors do.” Rose smiled at her cousin and sped walk to instead be walking side-by-side with the only slightly older girl. “Congratulations, by the way. You know we’re all proud of you and the others for finishing the year with all that’s been happening. Another batch of Weasleys out the door.”

[dominiweasley]

“True- I could never imagine you killing anyone. But that’s why you’d be so great at it.” Mini slung her arm around her cousin’s shoulder- she may be grown up now but she was still shorter than her. “I don’t know if we really deserve that. We fucked around quite a bit” She smiled. “But thank you. Your turn next!”

“Money and tradition is what corrupted my family”

[dominiweasley]

“Maybe- but they were already pretty fucking evil” Mini’s eyes widened. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry- that was so rude.”

[jspxtter]

“Oh, right.” James said plainly, confusion settling onto his features as he surveyed his cousin for any hint of what she was hiding. “No, nothing at all. Should she have?” His mind was going into overdrive considering the possibilities, was she hurt and he hadn’t noticed? Had she gotten herself into trouble and been too afraid to ask for his help? “Don’t fuck about Mini, just tell me what this is about.”

[dominiweasley]

Spitting it out was feeling a lot harder than she had anticipated. James looked so... serious. He was never like this- not around her, at least. They’d always been close, but more of a “tell-each-other-when-they-lost-their-virginities” close than a “talk-about-their-deepest-feelings” close. She took a deep breath. “So I found Ally in a corridor the other day and I’m pretty sure she was drunk but she was also really sad and she was talking about how she thinks that Frank thinks she’s a baby or something and also how she had a fight with you but I’m not really sure what that was about. Anyway, I found her and she was a bit of a shitshow so of course I sat with her and we talked for a while but then she kissed me- properly on the mouth, not just on the cheek or something. So then I got kind of freaked out and left sort of quickly so now I don’t really know what’s going on but she’s been kind of weird for a while now but I don’t know if it’s NEWTs or that time she kissed Burwell or whatever but I’m really worried.” Mini paused for a second, running out of air. “Oh- and I haven’t seen her since that night so I have no fucking clue where she is or what she’s doing.”

[ohrxse]

“Well, James is a year older than me and he’s still a child so…” Rose titled her head slightly, wondering not for the first how her cousin could be so ridiculous. Mini was lovable, so lovable, but also so ridiculous. Seventh year not mattering, Rose being clever. Such a ridiculous girl. “Thank you. Hit Wizard isn’t the career for me, though. How was your seventh year, anyway? I feel as though we hardly talked which is sad, but I understand.”

[dominiweasley]

“Well... damn, I can’t argue with that. You win, big girl.” A vivid picture flashed into Mini’s mind of Rose- tiny little Rose who stressed when she was a few minutes late to breakfast- dressed in all black, sneaking around dark castles with about twenty wands strapped to her back. “Really? That’s such a shame. No-one would suspect you, you don’t really have that Hit Wizard look.” Mini pursed her lips, thinking back on the last year. “It was fine, I guess. Everyone else seemed so stressed about exams and all the other stuff that’s been going on, so it wasn’t exactly how I imagined... but I made it, right?”

[ohrxse]

“You aren’t even that much older.” A loud, necessary sigh once the word ‘exam’ was said. “The point isn’t just to pass. Acing? Acing is the goal. Well. For me at least, I’m not saying you or anyone else has to ace their exams. But yeah, non-verbals are rather unnecessary unless you’re becoming a Hit Wizard.”

[dominiweasley]

“I’m a whole year older. We both know how much can happen in a year.” Mini’s smile dropped for a second. It wasn’t worth thinking about, especially not right now. She shook her head slightly, giggling. “Don’t worry, Rosie, everyone knows you ace all your exams anyway. You’re definitely clever enough to be a Hit Wizard already, I think. Who needs seventh year”

[jspxtter]

“Alice?” James frowned, Alice never got herself into trouble, so he could only assume he was receiving the I’ll-kill-you-if-you-hurt-her talk, even if it was completely unnecessary. Tugging lightly at her arm, he directed them to the nearest empty classroom, before turning his attention back to his cousin. “What’s this about, Mini? It’d better not be a lecture.”

[dominiweasley]

“No, no, nothing like that.” Normally Mini would have loved to have had something to lecture James about- not that he never did stupid things, but it always seemed that she’d done something dumb just a day or two before that he could throw right back at her- but this time she just didn’t have the energy. “It’s just- has she said anything to you? About... something that happened?”

[dotcookerg-blog]

“Ah, you’re one of those no-second-draft, go-big-or-go-home people.”

[dominiweasley]

“Oh yeah, big time. It’s a blessing and a curse- mainly a curse though, I reckon.”
