Reading is a basic tool of a good life, Tag; Willow Yates

[Kelli Weasley]

Kelli’s favorite activity or hobby is reading. It can be any book. Though she mainly reads books about magic, spell, potions and what not. She likes to know a little bit about everything that has to do with magic. She’s just like her mother, Hermione. She’s interested in everything magical. Maybe she won’t exactly use the spells or potions that she reads about in the books from the library. But she will be informed about them. She just likes to know about things. With some spells and potions she knows just the basic knowledge for that spell and or potion. But for some spells and potions she knows every detail that a witch or wizard should know. There are some spells and even potions that everyone who performs magic should know about. At least that is what Kelli thinks. Not every student in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry knows about some spells and potions. Or even about some famous witches and wizards. One being Lord Voldemort. But almost every student is aware of who is was. If they don’t, well they don’t pay attention in school and his or her parents probably never spoke of Voldemort, or He Who Should Not Be Named.

Kelli walked into the quiet Gryffindor Common Room. It wasn’t always quiet like it was this evening. Some days it was quiet, while other days it was loud with a lot of people in it. Kelli likes the days when it’s like this. Nice and quiet. She can sit on the couch, near the fireplace and read a book. To her that was heaven. Often times she of course was disturbed by one or more of her fellow students. Or even by her older brother, Stephen. Stephen is also a Gryffindor but he’s a seventh year unlike Kelli who is a sixth year. Of course occasionally he likes to sneak into the common room or down from the boys dormitories and scare Kelli half to death. But that was up to him. He was always kidding around with her, but he did sometimes really scare her. Other times he makes a mistake and hits something on the way to scare her, so she knows that he’s behind her or almost close to her.

Kelli walked over to the couch. She laid down, resting her head on the pillow. She opened up the book she had, opening up to where she left off. She glanced at the fire then back at her book. Kelli started reading the book, quietly to herself, just enjoying the quiet time she has before someone came in.

Having just finished her hex on Wingbottom she was about to enter the Common room as quietly as she could. When she reached the other side of the whole it seemed as though nobody was there but to closer inspection she save the top of a blond head sitting on the couch in front of the fire. Quietly as to not disturb the girl she tiptoed with Griswald in her bag to the couch. She pushed herself up so she could see over the couch and to what she was reading.

Without knowing it she started reading the book as well while Griswald happened to jump out of her bag and onto her head. Grissy let out a purr as Willow spoke.

Without knowing it she had said “Interesting book you got there” not meaning to surprise the girl.

[Kelli Weasley]

Kelli was so interested into the book; she didn’t hear anyone enter the common room. It was like she was so into the book that everything outside of the book didn’t matter to her, at all. To Kelli it was just her and the book in the world nothing else. Kelli is a semi fast reader. She gets so into the book that she normally zips right through it. She doesn’t skim through the book or only read certain chapters. Kelli reads from front cover to the back cover and never skips a page. Even if there is a chapter that’s maybe boring or that she’s not exactly interested in. She still reads it because maybe one day it will be useful to her. So she reads it, just in case. You never know what you may come across once you leave Hogwarts.

Kelli then heard a purr from what it sounded like to be a cat. She then thought maybe it was Gypsy. But last she check, Gypsy was in her cage. Stephen wouldn’t have been able to let Gypsy loose since the cage is in the girl’s dormitory. Unless Patricia did it, but she doubt Patricia would do it. Only if there was money involved would she do something like that. Kelli then looked up to see someone standing behind her. Kelli then sat up as she nodded her head. She placed her bookmark where she left off. ”It’s a book on spells.” Kelli replied as she showed the girl the cover. The girl looked familiar but she couldn’t think of her name. ”I’m Kelli Weasley.” She introduce to the girl standing before her. If she was a sixth year, Kelli would of recognized her. Maybe she's younger than her, but she didn't look like it. She's probably a seventh year. Then more than likely she knows Stephen.

She looked at Kelli a little surprised but after she said her name her mouth contorted into her usual giant grin. She Rolled over the couch and landed on the couch with a sploush. She took Griswald off the top of her head and put him in her lap. She then proceeded to take Kelli's hand and shake it with all her enthusiasm.

She blurted out " It iz very nices to meet ju! You are Stephen Sister non?” her French accent more noticeable than ever.

She had a habit of speaking French when she got excited. It so happened that Stephen was a friend of her. She had met him in Potions where they were partnered. Thankfully for her he was good at Potions and was able to help her. Over time they had grown closer and would hang out if they got a chance but this year she had no seen him in awhile. The thought of not seeing made part of her smile go away and her enthusiasm deplete. She hates losing a friend.

[Kelli Weasley]

Kelli placed the book down on the floor beside the couch. She then moved her feet so that the girl could sit. She shook the girls hand as she pet the cat. Kelli just has a thing for cats. She loves them. Maybe because of her mom, she wasn’t quite sure of the reason. She just likes them. She then looked up at the girl, still not knowing her name. But that was okay. She would find out. Kelli then nodded her head. ”Well one of his sisters.” Kelli informed her. Then there was Patricia, the youngest. One year younger then Kelli and two years younger then Stephen. Kelli doesn’t know all of Stephens’s friends. Just like he doesn’t know all of hers. She only knows the ones that he’s best friends with and that come over to their home on break or even during the summer.

”How do you know Stephen?” Kelli asked. Probably from class or something. And obviously she is a Gryffindor. She could tell from the robes but also she wouldn’t be in here if she isn’t a Gryffindor. She never saw the girl, sitting next to her before. If she knows Stephen then she’s probably a seventh year. Since Kelli doesn’t know her or even seen her in her classes before she’s not a sixth year. Kelli was just surprised that she has never seen her before. She has been a Gryffindor for six years. Then again that doesn’t mean much. There are some people that you never seen for the time you’re in Hogwarts, then you see them outside of the school or when it’s toward the end of the school year.

Even sitting down Willow was a good 5 inches shorter than Kelli. She assumed she was younger than her and envied her for being so much taller than her. She let out a little cough of unhappiness but then shock her head in suprise.

She beemed "Mon Dieu! I forgot to tell you my name. So very zilly ov me. My name Willow, Willow Yates!"

She began to pet Griswald on her lap as she said " It iz thanks to your brother zat i pass potions. I am terrible at ze course but thankfully he as been my partner since i started here"

She peered into Kelli's green eyes with her creamy brown ones and smiled warmly. "You must be a lot like your brother. I can see him in your eyes. Ze warmness and brains he showed me when we meet. It will be a pleasure to get to know you Kelli. But tell me what are you doing inside here when it iz so pretty outside!"

[Kelli Weasley]

Kelli nodded her head. ”Nice to meet you Willow.” Kelli replied. Willow. Willow. Willow. Nope, the name didn’t ring any bells. Stephen never mentioned her. Unless Stephen did mention willow to Kelli and she just didn’t care and was busy reading or doing something else that was more important than listening to Stephen ramble. It could sometimes get annoying. Especially if Kelli is busy or interested in a really good book. Then she shuts everything and everyone out. Kinda like before when she didn’t hear Willow walk into the Gryffindor common room. She wondered if anyone walked into the common room before Willow and Kelli just didn’t hear him or her. It was certainly possible that it may have happen. It has happened in the past so it wasn’t much of a surprise to Kelli, if it happened.

”Stephen is good at potions.” Kelli agreed. That was for sure. Potion is probably one of his favorite subjects. He has always been good in potions. So it Kelli along with Patricia. But for Stephen, potions are like his thing. He could sit in the potions class room the whole day and just learn along with mixing some potions together. That’s how Stephen is. Stephen is like the potion king, if there is such thing. Anyway, Kelli wasn’t surprised when Willow told her that Stephen helped her pass potions and was her partner.

Kelli blushed lightly but it wasn’t noticeable when Willow told her that she must be a lot like Stephen. In some ways, yes they are alike. But also they are different. Yea they both are smart, and kind along with caring. But their interests are also somewhat different. Kelli likes everything magical. While Stephen is really just into potions. At least that’s what she thinks. ”I prefer reading.” Kelli said simple.

[Willow Yates]

She noticed the slight rosiness hit Kelli’s check but one for a brief second so she assumed it was all in her head. She really did find the Kelli and Stephen but she guessed by Kelli’s response that she wasn’t as sure. She had always wished her and David could have that kind of connection, half the people that meet them couldn’t believe they were really brother and sister let alone twins! He was always the quieter and smarter one while she had decent grades and far from quiet. Some how though they managed to get along since recently.

“Oh come on! Let’s go outside! Take a walk go see people. We might ezen see your brother or mine!” She laughed giggly like a little school girl as she rose to her feet. She outstretched her hand hopping Kelli would take it. She did want to hang out with her but she also wanted to see her brother again. It would be a blast if they could all hang out together. Kelli, her, Stephen and hopefully David if he could spare time away from his precious Slytherin friends.

Ever since the year had started he became a royal pain to her and most Gryffindor. Hopefully if she caught him before he saw his friends he would be more pleasant. That was how it always seemed to work. She peered down at Kelli hoping she would respond and grab her hand and they would be off.

[Kelli Weasley]

In ways Stephen and Kelli are similar. Some people notice certain things that they might not. Like their parents. During the summer or on break they always point out things that they do the same way. No matter what. Then they sometimes argue over it. Like Kelli will start yelling or something, like ‘I do not do that like him’ or something similar to that. There are something’s she just wish that they both would do differently. Then again there are something that they do differently. Each of them knows what the other one dislikes or doesn’t like doing it his or her way. Like Stephen likes to learn what Kelli dislikes or can’t stand, so he can just pick on her. But in the end they end up having a good laugh along with a good time. It always ends up like that.

Kelli glanced down at her book that was on the floor beside the couch. She could take a break from reading. It wouldn’t hurt at all. ”Okay, let’s go.” Kelli stated as she took Willows hand. It would be fun. They could go see Stephen and whoever Willow’s brother is. Kelli didn’t know him, but maybe Stephen does. Who knows. Kelli was curious where her lovely brother might be. On a day like this, he’s probably outside somewhere on the Hogwarts grounds. While Kelli is inside reading, Stephen is always outside or inside hanging out with his friends. Kelli does that too, but she enjoys reading more and learning. That’s one difference between the two of them. Their hobbies are semi different.

She pulled Kelli almost making the girl fall on her face. She was excited to go out and look around for there two brothers. She got to the hole and stopped abruptly and started thinking. I left zat blubbering idiot out der. I can’t let her get in trouble like me. She quickly turned around smiling nervously. Sure she was okay with herself getting in trouble or attacked back but she couldn’t let someone she just meet get caught in the fire.

She regained her composer and said “Well we are going but be careful of Wingbottom. He is umm kinda looking for me.”

She didn’t think she needed to go too much into since most people knew about her and her ways. She is usually running around with Melody pulling pranks on anyone that dared hurt her friends or call her short. She opened the portrait hole and started to crawl through hoping that Wingbottom wasn’t as patient as some of the others who normally wait for her to come out of hiding. She opened the other side of the portrait slightly and looks and saw no one thankfully. She got out holding the portrait open for Kelli smiling.
She placed her hand on her hips and smiled beamingly. I guess I don’t need to worry about him.
