Step, step right over the line,
and onto Borrowed Time,
When it's life, not waiting to die,
waiting to divide, to divide.'
- Borrowed Time, A Fine Frenzy
Prologue
Luna are you ready to go?" I asked as I watched the younger girl hurriedly rush around trying to pack up the last of her belongings. "We're going to be late if we don't go now!"
"I can't find my shoes; I suspect the Nargles!" Luna proclaimed rummaging through her cupboards.
"Luna come on! Your dad can send you over your shoes after we get there! We have to leave now!"
I picked up Luna's bags and hauled them to the fireplace, what was in them?
"Grab some floo powder Luna, you know what to do!"
I watched as she grabbed some of the bright green powder and walked into the fireplace, her long hair swaying by her waist.
"Are you coming Leah?" Luna asked absentmindedly.
"Yeah, I'll come after you, remember we're going to the burrow, say it nice and clearly."
"Ok see you soon Leah," Luna smiled throwing down the floo powder and clearly speaking the home of the Weaselys.
I should probably take this time to explain, my name is Leah Artemis Fauna Delaney and I am a witch. I am currently studying at Hogwarts and today is the first day back on my third year.
I grabbed a fistful of floo powder and shouted clearly, "The Burrow"
I felt the strange feeling that is travelling by the floo network, before stumbling into the Weasley's humble home.
"Leah darling!" I struggled for breath as I was engulfed in one of Molly Weasley's bone-crushing signature hugs.
"Mrs. Weasley, I can't breathe!" I gasped for air as she finally let me out of the spine breaking embrace.
Mrs. Weasley sighed "Leah dear, how many times do I have to tell you! Call me Molly."
"Yes Mrs. Weas.. I mean Molly," I corrected myself she smiled warmly down at me.
"Fred and George are upstairs dear," she told me guiding me out of the door. "Tell them to hurry up we really need to go."
"Ok Molly I'll go get them."
I ran up the creaky stairs leaving Luna alone with Mrs Weasl- oh Molly and turned left at the top of the second floor. The twins' room was the second largest bedroom in the house and I hesitated before I knocked as you never know what I could find in there. There was no answer and I stood awkwardly.
"Fred!" I called "George?"
Silence was all that replied, so I slowly opened the door. I walked in cautiously glancing to the left and the right as I moved into the room but they weren't there. Just as I was about to turn around to exit the room the twins jumped out from behind the wardrobe and straight onto me!
"LEAH!" They screamed as they landed on top of me nearly crushing me. "You're here!"
"Oh my god guys! You scared me!" I exclaimed slapping them both playfully on their arms.
"Sorry Leah," they chorused grinning down at me. I had known the twins since the first year when we all got put into Gryffindor. Apart from Luna, whom I had grown up, with they were my best friends and every year I would travel to the burrow to go to Hogwarts with them whilst my parents were busy working at the ministry.
"Oh...boys your mum wants you downstairs now." I grin grabbing their hands and pulling them down the stairs.
"Wait! Leah we need our bags," they complained pulling me back and slinging their rucksacks over their shoulders and joining me again further down the steps.
"There you are I was getting worried!" Mrs. Weasley smiled ushering us towards the door. "Ready to go?" She asked glancing round to check she had everyone, I smiled at Luna and Ron it must be his first year too.
"Yeah we're ready." I grinned as I grabbed the twins' arms ready for another year at Hogwarts!
