Disclaimer: Same as chapter 1!

Thanks again to Death Eater Bella and Narcissa B Malfoy. I heart you both! And thank you Werewolves Rock for your review!! I'm glad you like! VERY motivating!

"They became Death Eaters."

I've done the impossible! With a simple sentence, all colour from the perpetually red faces of the twins completely drained. They both sat still, staring at me wide eyed. I can't say I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction... among the various I had thought of.

"Wh-What?" Fred was the first to speak. Both of their eyebrows had disappeared some where above their hairline.

"But how?"

I sighed. "The war is here, and they chose their side." The shock on their faces softened with concern. "It's ok. I've come to terms with it, and now I'm making my decision."

"We're so sorry Ava. When did this happen?"

"Not too long ago. I only found out yesterday. They wanted me to join as well… but I… no." Shaking my head I looked down at my hands. I was having more difficulty with this than I thought I would.

"We're glad you didn't." George placed a hand on my arm supportively. I looked up at them and upon seeing the compassion in their eyes I began to get a bit teary.

"I mean, you're a right pain as it is at the moment! Could you imagine how annoying you would be on the other side?" I couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh Merlin Fred, that WOULD be scary! An 'Ava' Death Eater." He mock shuddered at the thought. I lightly punched both of them.

I knew of all people, they wouldn't freak out. I really didn't need people to judge me just because my parents had turned Death Eater on me. I mean, it wasn't my fault and it didn't mean I shared their views! They are just more… strange? Extreme? No. They are Death Eaters and simply evil. There's no more to it and I'm just going to have to get used that.

"So, I don't suppose your staying with your parents any more?" George asked.

Ah…

"Well, actually, there was one more thing I needed to ask…" They chuckled before exchanging a knowing look. "Well I left my home this morning, pretty early, with just a few things. And I haven't exactly found a place to stay yet so… I was wondering if I could crash at your place for a few days until I found something."

"I'm sure we can come up with something. We have a room on top of this shop so you can stay here the night." Fred answered.

"We have a few people to talk to, but I'm sure a safer, more 'home' like place can be found for you." They were now eying each other.

"Thank you guys SOOOOO much!!" I hugged them both. "Um… what do you mean? If you don't stay here, then where do you go every night? Surely not back to the Burrow."

"Err… no. The Burrow's just not safe any more." George explained.

"There's another place. But we'll explain all that later! Firstly, we need food!!" I smiled at Fred's melodrama. My curiousity urged me to ask what this other place was, but I pushed it to the back of my mind at the mention of food.

"Well of course we do! We're all overdue for lunch! You'll, ofcourse, be joining us Ava." With that, George pulled out his wand and said a few incantations. Suddenly the strange objects from the table were replaced with a nice lunch setting and enough food to feed ten.

"Our mum makes our lunch for us." George said sheepishly after seeing my shock and disbelief at the amount of food on the table.

"It's a good thing she knows about that endless pit you both call a stomach!"

"Indeed!" Fred said, raising a chicken leg ceremonially before sticking in his mouth.

I was glad the heaviness of my situation had been forgotten for the moment as we dug in to Mrs. Weasley's glorious cooking. Now THIS I could get used to!

Hope you liked!!! I know not much happened, but Sirius WILL appear in the next chapter, so stay tuned! I just needed to set the premise of the story and all that jazz... so bear with me.

Review please!!!
