George stepped onto the train happily, quickly looking around for an empty compartment.
"We didn't come early enough!" Fred groaned beside him "We're never going to find an empty compartment now!"
"I'm sure we'll find one. Don't be such a drama queen." George laughed at his twin. "Ah! Here's one!"
"No," Fred immediately slid shut the door that George had just opened. "A Slytherin's in that one. Let's find a different one."
"There's only one in there!" George stepped into the compartment where the petite girl laid, her black hair concealing her face as she slept. "And she's asleep so that's even better!"
"We can't test our new stuff if she's in here. We're looking for an empty compartment where no one will bother us!"
"She won't mind!" George said after lifting a soft lock of hair from the girls face to check her identity "It's Sadie Henson, she's practically a mute and ignores everything."
"Fine, but if she wakes up when we're testing the Puking Pastilles, I'm out." Fred said
"That'd be funny. I wonder what her reaction would be…" George took a moment to go over that situation in his head. "Ha!"
"You first!" Fred shoved the Puking Pastille at him.
George groaned "I thought we decided you were going to be the guinea pig!"
"Nah, I'm done being the guinea pig. It's your turn mate."
He made a face at his freckle faced other half before biting into the treat. A minute later and he was hurling his guts out into a small pale.
Sadie really didn't know what to think when she awoke to the sounds of some intense hurling, and seeing two flaming redheads leaning over pales half filled with puke. Honestly it made her want to hurl herself. But thankfully she'd been born with a strong stomach.
"Oh she's awake!" One of them exclaimed after he shoved a bit of candy in his mouth, stopping the hurling completely. "Fred! She's awake! 'Ello!" He waved cheerfully at her.
"H-hi," Sadie said nervously.
"I'm George," The one who wasn't hurling said. "My vomiting twin over there is Fred. Say hello Fred!"
"Ulp, Hell-uuuggh," Was all Fred could choke past his heaving.
"Oh please make him stop that." Sadie said queasily
"That's enough Freddy, cant you see that you're making our little Slytherin friend nauseous?"
Again Sadie saw that strange colored candy go into the other redheads' mouth and he immediately stopped his heaving.
"What are those?" She asked quietly
"Puking Pastilles!" George said proudly "An invention of ours. Genius right?"
"I'm not sure I'd call it genius but okay…" Sadie sat up, not bothering to push away the sheets of hair that surrounded her face.
"So Ms. Gloom, what's your name?" Fred asked
She wasn't sure she liked Fred's nickname for her, but she didn't mention it to him. She knew those two were part of Gryffindor and herself being a Slytherin, it was highly inappropriate for them to be conversing. Oh if Draco found out, he'd be furious. She couldn't help thinking.
"Fred no need to call names, Sadie's not a Ms. Gloom I'm sure." George's kind smile at her made her tingle down to her toes. It was definitely a strange feeling.
"Of course I'm not, you don't know me." She spit out towards Fred, giving him what she thought was the appropriate Slytherin glare.
"Gotta work on that one hun," George said sadly "It wasn't scathing enough. I don't think you meant it."
Sadie was saved from having to respond when another person entered their cramped compartment.
"Sadie!" Draco Malfoy hissed "what are you doing in here with these-" He gave the twins a disgusted look "Weasley's?"
"Nothing at all," Sadie said sheepishly "I just woke up and they were there."
"Well come to our compartment so you don't have to deal with these muggle lovers." Malfoy grabbed her arm and pulled her from the compartment.
"So long!" George waved to her.
"I don't know what those Weasley's were playing at, moving in like that, like you're their friend." Draco spit out that last word like it was a swear word.
Sadie was about to mention that it wasn't so awful when he pulled her into an empty compartment and slammed the door closed, pulling her towards him and pressing his lips to hers in a rough kiss.
Sadie wished Draco would slow down more, give her time to know what's going on, maybe even to protest, but it was impossible to stop Draco's advances, and as he pulled her down to the floor, shedding them of their cloths, she wished just then that she was anything but a Slytherin, and that she could still be in that compartment with George and even Fred, as long as she wasn't being mauled by Draco's eager lips and hands.
George stopped himself from staring wistfully at the closed compartment door that Sadie had just been dragged out of with a slap.
"Did you just smack yourself?" Fred asked incredulously
"Yep, I think I am going crazy." He replied
"Well it's about time mate," Fred mumbled as he pulled another candy out of the bag. "I've been feeling lonely as the only insane one in this twinationship."
"Oh not the Nosebleed Nougat!" George cried "We still haven't been able to get that one to stop!"
"I know, I know." Fred waved his hand impatiently, shoving the frightful candy at him. "But I think I may know how to stop this one."
"You better," George mumbled and bit into it.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry walked into the compartment just as blood splashed out of George's nose.
"Ugh!" Hermione said in disgust "That's gross!"
"Ged ober id." George groaned
"Ha! You sound funny!" Fred said cheerfully
"I hade you…" George grabbed a large towel and pressed it to his nose, trying to stench the flow.
"Love you too brother. Love you too…"
Sadie slipped out from under Draco's arm and pulled on her cloths. He continued to sleep even after she accidentally stubbed her toe on the door jam as she walked out. She hopped in place for a second, biting down on her lip, trying not to cry out.
Sadie slid the door shut quietly, and tip toed down the hallway towards a crowded Slytherin compartment. She'd rather just be alone altogether, but as Draco said, 'Slytherin's stick together.' And she would only receive hell for not listening to this unwritten rule.
She didn't particularly like the Slytherin's, although there were a few that were genuinely nice, but they were too afraid of the others to change their nasty attitudes.
"Sadie! Where've you been?" Pansy Parkinson patted the space on the seat beside her. "We been lookin' for ya!"
"Sorry," Sadie mumbled as she sat. "Fell asleep in one of the empty compartments."
"More like Malfoy found her and wanted a good shag," Crabbe muttered to a sniggering Goyle
Sadie shot a dark glare towards the two lumps in front of her. She seriously considered hexing them at that moment, but thought better of it because they really didn't need anything else wrong with them; they were already stupid, fat, ugly oafs, what else can you do?
