Chapter 1
It hadn't been the easiest Summer for Liz. She was very ready to get back to Hogwarts with her friends and forget about her problems.
The journey to Platform ¾ was a lonely one, her grandma in the hospital for a check-up. Grandma had promised to send Liz' owl with a letter on how she was doing as soon as possible. Liz went through the barrier and immediately saw her favorite family. 7 people with the exact same shade of red hair.
'Lizzy, where the hell have you been?!' Fred came speeding towards Liz, George close behind him.
Liz broke into a huge smile. 'How are my favorite twins?'
They shook their secret handshake, and Liz felt better than she had all Summer.
'Where's your grandma?' George asked, looking over Liz' shoulder.
Liz' smile faded quickly. 'Grandma's in the hospital. She has cancer.'
Fred and George stared at her. 'You're joking!' Fred exclaimed.
Liz just stared back at him, saying nothing.
'I'm so sorry. Isn't there like a potion or something that can heal her?' George looked as broken as Liz felt. Esme was like a third grandmother for the twins.
Liz laughed dryly. 'She isn't a witch, remember?'
'But can't you take her to St. Mungo's?'
Fred's eyes lit up. 'Yeah, we'll sneak her in!'
Liz laughed a little less dry this time. 'We're not ninjas.'
They stood there for a minute before Fred pulled Liz in for a hug. George closed his arms around the two. Liz smiled, trying her hardest to keep from crying.
They heard a whistle and then the yells of Mrs. Weasley. 'Fred, George, get back here!'
'Please don't tell anyone,' Liz pleaded, quickly wiping away a tear.
'Of course,' Fred said solemnly, and George nodded.
They walked back to the rest of the Weasleys. Mrs. Weasley was kissing all her children, including Harry and Hermione, goodbye. When she saw Liz, she hugged her fondly. 'Where were you this Summer? We missed you.'
'Spending time with my grandma,' Liz smiled at Mrs. Weasley, the only real mother-figure she had ever had. She had missed her, too.
'How is she?' Mrs. Weasley looked around, like George had.
'Great,' after spending five years with the Weasley twins, Liz had become amazing at lying, 'she had to take off already.'
Another whistle sounded.
'Don't blow up any classrooms!' Mrs. Weasley yelled after them as George pulled in Liz' stuff and Fred and Liz went ahead to find an empty compartment.
Just as the three of them walked in, Harry pushed past, Ron and Hermione following, looking worried. As they settled in, George asked if Liz wanted to talk about it. Liz just shook her head.
'The fun of having you two as best friends is that you make it easy to forget about your problems.'
'That's the only fun thing about being friends with us?' Fred asked, grinning.
'Beating you in Quidditch is fun, too.'
Fred clapped a hand on his heart. 'Too soon.'
'We'll beat you this year,' George said. George was always more of a Quidditch fanatic than Fred. It was one of the small things that made them so different.
Liz raised her eyebrow. 'Are you sure about that?'
'Oh yeah, you forget that this is our beloved captain's last year, and he's gonna do everything he can to make sure we win.'
At the mention of Oliver Wood, Liz' stomach fluttered. She was sad it was his last year, there was a good change she'd never see him again.
Her little crush must've been more obvious than Liz thought, because Fred smiled wickedly. 'Oh right, I forgot, Lizzy has a little crush on Oliver.'
Liz gave him the stink eye, while her cheeks grew warmer. 'Shut up, Weasley.'
'Ooh, Water's getting edgy.' George smiled the same smile.
'It's Rivers.' Liz had always hated that nickname.
George put his hands up. 'Whatever you say, lover-girl.'
Liz couldn't help but giggle. 'So, she said, changing the subject, how was your Summer. Tell me all about it.'
Fred and George looked at each other before Fred began. 'Well, Percy's Headboy.'
'He's been going on and on about it,' George said rolling his eyes.
'Mum's over the moon, of course. Another Headboy in the family, unbelievable!' Fred's imitation of his mother got better every year.
'Dad won some price, so we went to Egypt to see Bill. That was fun.'
'And that's about it, I think.'
Liz stared at them. 'You went to Egypt? That's amazing!'
About an hour later, an owl came up to the window. 'Athena!' Liz opened the window and let her owl in. She flew around and dropped a letter on Liz' lap before settling on Fred's shoulder. 'Oh yeah, go to him first,' Liz said accusingly. She opened the letter. It was from her grandma, obviously.
Hi sweetie,
I hope you got on the train okay.
The doctor said I'm doing great. She said I can start chemotherapy next week. She was also sure I'd make it till Christmas, so you aren't rid of me yet!
Tell the boys I said hi. Miss you already,
Grandma
It wasn't a very long letter, but it warmed Liz' heart all the same. She folded the letter and put it in her pocket.
'What's it say?' Fred asked, petting Athena.
'She's doing great,' Liz smiled.
At Hogwarts, Liz met up with Stella, her other best friend. She said bye to the twins and sat down at the Ravenclaw table. If Liz had known the twins would be in Gryffindor, maybe shed asked the Sorting Hat to be sorted there, too. But she was happy in Ravenclaw, where she would always feel more at home than in Gryffindor.
The sorting went by smoothly, Liz didn't really pay attention. She chatted with the other Ravenclaw fifth-years instead. When Dumbledore told everyone about the Dementors, Liz looked at her fellow Ravenclaws with a puzzled look. Then, Dumbledore introduced the new teachers. Liz didn't really care about the new DADA teacher, but she was incredibly bummed about Professor Kettleburn leaving.
'I'm gonna miss that old fool,' Stella said, a sad smile on her face.
'I'm sure he'll get into some kind of trouble and end up in the paper soon enough,' Lucas, a fifth-year, laughed, and they all joined in.
Being back at Hogwarts did exactly what Liz had hoped for, it made her forget about her problems. Liz had a wonderful night.
Stella had to leave early, being a prefect, so Liz hung back with the other Ravenclaws for a while. When they finally made to leave, Fred and George walked up to them.
'Hey Lizzy, looks who's there,' Fred nodded his head towards a certain Gryffindor captain stood talking to his friends.
Liz rolled her eyes. 'Good night boys.'
Ryan, another fifth-year, leaned in. 'How can you tell those two apart?'
Liz looked at him, a little confused. 'Isn't it obvious? George has little specks in his eyes. Also, their voices are completely different.'
Ryan nodded, impressed.
And with that ended Liz' first day back at Hogwarts.
