Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter; this belongs to J.K. Rowling. I do, however, own the OC and the plot.

A/N: This is going to be following the Weasley Twin's fifth year at Hogwarts, and there will be other stories to follow it, following their sixth, seventh and years outside of Hogwarts.

The Gryffindor Common Room is quiet as Lexie sits beside the fireplace. Fred's head is upon her lap, and one of her hands runs through his flame-red hair absently, the other holding aloft a novel which she is reading. As she strokes his hair, her hand shakes slightly, but not noticeable to anybody but her. She had spent her whole night thinking about what she should do, especially about Fred. She cared for him, surely, but she did not want to make him suffer on her account. As she thinks of this, her hand stops stroking his hair, and Fred turns his head to look at her with an irresistibly adorable pout, so Lexie smiles and continues running her fingers through his hair; Fred closes his eyes happily. As suddenly as a firework exploding, the Portrait hole opens and people fill in laughing and making a ton of noise. Lexie puts her book down, remembering her page, and both her and Fred look up when George Weasley and Lee Jordan walk over with huge smiles.

"We have a good idea for our first prank of the year!" Fred's eyes light up and he stands up to follow them towards their dormitory, Fred kissing Lexie swiftly before he leaves. Sighing, Lexie takes up a quill and a piece of parchment; she starts to write to her mother.

Dearest mother,

The shaking is getting worse. I really don't know what to do…could you please pick up a refill of my prescription and send it to me, please? Remember, only what I need. Thank you very much…how's it going with Phil? I'm so sorry that I had to miss the wedding…Write back as soon as you can!

Love,

Alexandra.

Once she writes the letter, Lexie seals it and takes out her small barn owl, Liam, and sends him away. As she turns back, she sees Fred and George, Lee and the rest of their friends smiling at her. Fred walks, more like swaggers, over and takes her hand.

"C'mon, love; it's time to go down to Hogsmead!" Having no say in the matter, Lexie follows them as they go down to Hogsmead, the all-wizarding town by the school. They walk around for a bit, most of their time spent in Honeydukes sweets shop and Zonko's magic shop; they finally make their way to the Three Broomsticks, the most popular pub in town. Drinks are bought, all Butterbeer, and everyone starts to talk.

"I mean," Lee starts, "The Ravenclaws are having a pretty good season, but Hufflepuff is pretty awesome. Damn that Cedric Diggory!" he looks like he's about to spit, but decides not to when he notices the look Madam Rosmerta is sending him, so he continues, "But I think we just might have a chance at it this year! We could win the House Cup!" Everyone cheers at this, and Lexie goes to raise her bottle of Butterbeer along with them all, but her hand decides that it is not going to work, and she just drops it onto the floor; the bottle shattering. Everyone looks at her, most with confused expressions, but Fred puts his Butterbeer down and takes hold of one of her hands as she stares down towards the broken bottle, tears standing in her eyes. Madam Rosmerta walks up cleans it up with a swish of her wand, smiling gently down at her.

"Accidents happen, dear, you don't need to get so upset. I'll get you another drink; it's on the house." Fred leans over and kisses Lexie on the neck, whispering that it'll be okay; everyone starts to chatter again, taking her dropping of the bottle as an accident. She looks down at her hand, which is shaking badly, her whole arm twitching along with it. Fred excuses them, tells Rosmerta to give the Butterbeer to his brother, and drags Lexie out of the pub. They start to walk, but Lexie lets out a sob, and Fred stops her, making her look at him. Tears are running down her cheeks, and her whole right arm is spasming, her left trying to hold it still against her body. Fred gently wipes her tears away, and holds her close, stroking her hair and whispering softly into her ear. As Lexie pulls away, Fred notices her jaw twitch sideways, and decides to take her back to the castle.

Lexie sits down on the couch in the Common Room, her breathing slow and even. Fred is sitting next to her, staring intently. The shaking had stopped a while ago, and she had fallen asleep. Brushing her hair out of her face, he waits until all of his friends get back so that Angelina could take her up to their dormitory. George, his twin, looks at him curiously.

"What's wrong with her, Fred? Is she okay?" Fred looks away and towards the stairs leading to the girl's dorms, and then sighs.

"I don't know, Georgie, I really don't."

Review, please! Again, I apologize for my super short chapters, but please tell me how I'm doing! Criticism welcome!
