Last chapter: I see you've finally decided your house, Selene" the Hat whispered to her.
"Yes, I did" And so, the entire table of professors froze in their seats, each of them wanting to know who was going to be the closest to the little girl they've raised together. And then, surprising them all, the Sorting Hat shouted...
Chapter 4: The final decision
Selene's POV :
"Gryffindor!"
I told them several times that I won't choose Gryffindor because I'd be too close to Harry, Ron and Hermione and together they'd figure out my secret, so they thought that I'll go to Slytherin in order to be irrelevant for them to find out everything about me. So, when the Sorting Hat shouted Gryffindor, they all acted in consequence: Professor Sprout let out a surprised squeak, professor Flitwick fell of his books, professor McGonagall's eyes widened, Dumbledore was petrified and Snape went pale, looking like he was a muggle seeing a ghost.
The students, however, didn't seem to notice their professors' reactions, and the Gryffindor table erupted with cheers, aside from Fred and George who seemed to have the time of their lives laughing at the teachers' reactions. I walked slowly to the Gryffindor table, praying that nobody else aside from the Weasley twins noticed the teachers' reactions and that they won't act weird in the following hours.
After all the kids were sorted, Dumbledore got to his feet to talk to them: "And so another year begins at Hogwarts, with a lot of new minds ready to be shaped, and the other ones, successfully emptied over the summer. The new students shall know that the Forest near the castle is strictly forbidden, and some of the older ones should also remember that" he eyed Fred and George as he spoke, and strangely, me too, as if he knew about our friendship. I shook the thought of my mind. Also, the third floor is strictly forbidden to anyone who doesn't wish to die in a most painful way." That time, he only eyed me, hinting that I have to make sure again that the charms were strong enough to keep everyone away from the Sorcerer's Stone. "Now, let the feast begin!" And so the food appeared. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was neck deep in conversation, Fred and George, on my left and right sides, started talking to me.
"We knew you wouldn't betray us..."
"...and go to the snakes"
"We mean, you may see the good part of Snape..."
"...with the godfather thing and everything..."
"...but we are still..."
"...awesome and..."
"...extremely handsome and..."
" Your best friends" they ended up together.
" If you say so" I replied, a grin playing on my lips.
"Now, that you chose us over the serpents, did you see McGonagall's face when you got sorted?..." Fred asked.
"...She looked sooo surprised. Never saw her like that."
"Now, you have to be more careful boys. Nobody shall know about our friendship, the students will ask questions. The teachers shall not know either, cause they'll start following you closer, especially Severus."
"Yeah, he really cares about you..."
"...but he's still a big nosed and greasy haired git"
They both looked like only my stern expression was keeping them from bursting into laughter.
"You just met her and you're already getting on her nerves?"Ron asked, taking my expression as a sign that the twins were teasing me. Luckily, he didn't know about my secret, because Fred and George were loyal friends.
"Now, we shall continue our conversations and games in the Room of Requirement. Still got the Deathly Hallows pendants I have you?" The Twins showed me their pendants, identical to the one I had(A/N: The pendants work as the fake Galleons Hermione made in Order of the Phoenix)
"Wouldn't lose them" George said, identical grins on both their faces.
"Great.We can keep going with inventing spells then. I made some over the summer. Maybe I'll show you them tomorrow."
"Awesome. Now, pay attention: Percy the Great Prefect is leading you to the dormitories."
"I took advantage of knowing my house to choose the closest bed to the door so I can sneak out at night. Not that anyone in the staff would mind me wandering around the castle at night, or that Peeves my friend would tell them, but I don't want my roommates to know."
"Bye bye, Sely-Allie!"
"Good night Gred, Forge."
Percy led us to the Fat Lady portrait, and told us the password: "Double trouble". The twins will laugh their asses off when they'll hear the password: I chose it to reflect their relationship and mine with Harry also. I was a very "good" sister, already giving Harry subliminal messages.
I didn't fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow, instead I thought about my family. It was going to be a hard year, but also full of happiness.
"Good night, darling...I love you. Even if i don't know who you are..."
"I love you too" I replied, before I fell into the magical world of dreams.
A/N: Do you think I got Fred and George's essence? :))
