Chapter 3 - Not Alone

The next day came quickly. My eyes were burning from crying all night. I tried to cover up the bags under my eyes as much as I could. I got dressed and started to head off to start a new day.

I sat alone in the courtyard reading on of my favourite books. I looked over and saw Fred and George talking to their best friend Lee. Lee was a funny guy. Really bright and smart too. I really just wanted to be alone today so I just went back to my book.

After about half an hour I finished the chapter I was on and closed my eyes. I felt small droplets of rain. Great A miserable day to match my miserable self.

"I should probably head inside" I whispered to myself. I headed off to mw common room when I saw heard two red head boys laughing.

"Hey Y/N are you okay? You seem really down today" George asked looking concerned.

"Well..." I started.

"You know you can tell us anything right?" Fred mentioned.

"I know it's just, there's no quiet place in this damn school" I said. Fred and George exchanged a sneaky glance before grabbing my hand and pulling me along.

"Hold on boys. At least let me put my book away" I said with a chuckle

"Well hurry up will ya" Fred said impatiently. I walked back up to them realising that they were no longer laughing.

"We have to show you something Y/N" George started saying.

"What is it?" I asked. He pulled out a piece of empty paper.

"It's a Map" Fred said taking the map from George.

"A map?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"Yep, nicked it from Filch's office last week." George said snickering.

"If it's a map where is...well...the map then?" I asked looking quite confused.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" Fred said. After he said that, images and words started to appear on the blank piece of paper.

"Wicked" I exclaimed.

"But why are you showing me this?" I asked. They once again grabbed my hands and pulled me along as we ran to a corridor in the castle. They opened up a passage and pushed me inside before following.

"Lumos" George said. His wand lit up. Fred did the same.

"Alright so what's up Y/N?" they asked.

"Um.....it's just, for about two years now I've been having the same dream that my mum died because wizards attacked her. Except last night when the dream occurred it was different. It happened here.

I got the news from Professor McGonagall. I just want it to stop. I mean what if it's me dreaming about what happens in the future. I love her. I don't want her to die." I started to cry. Tears rolling down my red face.

I was so embarrassed. It's like I'd known the twins forever but it had only been a couple of weeks.

"It's okay Y/N" Fred said.

"We are always going to be here for you. ALWAYS. Remember that Y/N" George continued.

"I know guys I know! Thank you so much" I smiled.

"Okay okay. Can we get out of here please it's freezing." I said shivering. They both laughed and we headed off to dinner in the great hall.

"You know George I was thinking"

"Yes Fred?" George said.

"How about we pull one last prank of the week."

"Fred I was thinking the exact same thing" Oh no here we go again.

"You two and your pranks honestly." I said shaking my head. They both looked at me wishfully.

"Oh no. I am NOT going to give you guys any ideas. I'd rather not have detention thank you very much"

"Y/N you're a Slytherin. It's practically in your blood." Fred said.

"Yes, well the hat obviously made a mistake hey?" I stated.

They looked at me with puppy dog eyes. They thought they were so damn cute.

"FINE! I guess I can give you one name" I mentioned.

"TELL US" they both shouted in excitement.

"Starts with F and ends with H"

"Y/N perfect. Filtch it is" Fred said.

"How did you know.

There could have been many possibilitles."

"Oh yeah, like who?" George asked.

"Okay okay you got me there. Now go. I'll see you guys later. I've got to finish off a few things" The three of us said goodbye and I started to walk off

"Why do I help them...honestly?" I asked myself before going to have dinner in the Great Hall.
