Finally his seventh year at Hogwarts, he couldn't believe it. Even though his mother was forcing him and his twin to go back to Hogwarts he was really excited. He had a feeling something great was going to happen this year. It was a gut feeling and usually those were right. He walked onto the Hogwarts Express and waited for the train to move.
"Hello, Fred, is anyone in that head of yours?"
Fred looked up to see his twin waving his hand in front of his face. He immediately slapped the hand away.
"What happened? You zoned out there," Lee Jordan, their best friend and the third member of their group since first year, asked.
"I was just thinking about this year," Fred responded.
George's eyes widened and turned to Lee Jordan. "For that long? You were zoned out for about fifteen or twenty minutes." George was getting worried about his twin. He had been thinking about the upcoming school year a lot. Usually George could always tell what his twin was thinking but lately he had been completely blocked from knowing what he was thinking of.
Fred shrugged and stood up. He then heard the compartment door open and a beautiful girl walked in. George and Lee saw the look on his face. They knew that look and it only meant trouble.
Krista Riddle opened the door to the compartment. She was starting her first and last year at Hogwarts on order of her father Tom Riddle or, as he was more widely known, Lord Voldemort. He needed somebody he knew he could trust to spy on Dumbledore and Dumbledore, believing there is good in everyone, immediately accepted her request to attend Hogwarts late. She was caught up and definitely ahead of Hogwarts' curriculum but, hey, refreshers were always good. As she looked in the compartment door she saw two red headed twins and one black haired boy. She knew, from what she heard from Draco Malfoy and his father that the twins were Weasleys.
'Perfect,' she thought. 'They will definitely know what Dumbledore is planning. I should get to know them.' She smiled. "May I please sit here? Everywhere else is full."
The boys could do nothing but nod. She walked in and the boys lifted her trunk onto the overhang. "My name is Krista, by the way."
Fred was the first one who regained his ability to speak. "I'm Fred and this is my brother George and our best mate, Lee. What house are you in? I have never seen you at Hogwarts before."
Krista smiled. "I'm not in a house yet. I was homeschooled up to this point but my parents couldn't homeschool me this year so sent me here. I will be sorted first during the ceremony but I don't know what house I will be in." She knew if she said she expected Slytherin they would never trust her.
George smiled back at her. "Well, I hope you get put in our house, the best one in school in our opinion anyway."
Krista smiled and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Not biased, right." They all laughed at this point.
They passed the time by playing Exploding Snap and wizard chess and telling Krista about some of the pranks they have pulled. Soon it was time to change into the robes and before they knew it they pulled into Hogsmeade station. Krista had been told by Dumbledore to ride up with the older students in the carriages so she found one with Fred, George, and Lee. She saw the thestrals and smiled. Thestrals were one of her favorite magical creatures. She looked up at the school and took a deep breath, preparing herself for what was to come.
Once they entered the castle, she waved goodbye to the boys and went over to Minerva McGonagall along with the other first years. She completely ignored McGonagall's speech. She didn't need to hear it. Soon the doors to the Great Hall opened and she got ready for the year that was to come.
