004. Carpe Diem - April/May - Rambles & Snippets - Fiction[NET]
Right. This was it. It would be his moment in the sun, in the spotlight. He would finally be able to stand tall, and people would take notice of him! He would get the recognition he had always craved, and the attention as well!
Ron Weasley got on his very own broom for the first time and kicked off...only to have one of his brothers, George, pounce on him from above and knock him down.
"George!"
"Aww heck little bro. No tears eh?"
"I'm not crying! I was going to make a goal!"
"And Fred and I are the bludgers! It's our job to knock you down!"
Little eight year old Ron clenched his fists in anger, sick and tired of always being the lowest of the low in the family.
"Give him a fair go guys." Bill encouraged, looking on from his height above them, drifting in the air beside Charlie, amused at this little brothers antics.
"Everything okay?" an uncommon voice asked. Charlie's girlfriend, (the very word made Ron blush) was visiting for the day and in her position as Keeper she had missed most of the action.
"Of course it is, little brother's just being picked on again." Charlie reassured her, smiling that lovesick smile that his brothers all teased him about.
Fay just giggled, her attention not even on Ron at all as she didn't care. Ron's ears turned red because of course she didn't. Everyone here just wanted to play and he was slowing them all up, yet again, just like usual.
So to make it easier for everyone, Ron scrambled to his knees and turned to run for the house.
"What's the matter dear?" Molly asked as Ron banged the door open on his way in, tears almost in his eyes at the injustice of it all.
"I just wanted to score a goal!" he demanded, his mother folding him away in his arms after giving him a freshly baked muffin. "And and and they wouldn't let me!"
Molly rocked Ron back and forth gently, watching the game continue out the window, the twins flying a little too high for comfort, the neighbours could see something...
"Mum!" Ron demanded, it was his turn for attention for once. Just once!
"It'll be okay..." Molly soothed, knowing her youngest boy needed inspiration to keep on coping. It must have been hard to be the youngest, knowing the least and always being picked on... "Your chance to seize the day and get your victory will come one day dear..."
"Seize the day?"
"It means to take hold of everything and...conquer it...be triumphant. To win. It even has it's own special words...Carpe Diem."
"...Carpay deeum." Ron repeated slowly, a smile spreading across his face. "Carpay deeum..."
