I hated Fred with a passion. Maybe not exactly true, I didn't quite hate him, but I was sure annoyed with him. I mean, it wasn't something new to me to feel annoyed by him, George, or eve Lee sometimes, but normally it was a passing anger. About as easy to hold onto as wind itself. It would pass within minutes usually, they had pulled some sort of prank that had backfired on me or they had dragged me into a bad situation; never something like this. I guess it was sort of trouble in paradise sort of situation, which had never happened before. I also felt so silly all the time, focusing so much on Fred this and Fred that. Sirius Black was my godfather and was out to get my little brother, so what did I do? Worry about bloody boys! It would have to stop.

Speaking of Harry, I had much more time to spend with him lately so I did. Not many sister's could say their brothers wanted to hang around with them, but we were sort of a special case. Poor Harry (and myself, even if I rarely showed it) was so desperate to feel the family connection so many kids had but we lacked. He just wanted a family.

Ron's rat wasn't looking good. Normally Scabbers liked me somewhat, he would normally sit nearer to me than to the other's, as if he were afraid of them. Maybe Scabbers was a super rat that had the mind of a human and he knew that the less time he spent in Ron's pocket, the less odds there was of his being dragged along on an adventure and being killed. Hah! Unlikely.

Lee slid into the empty seat next to me during Divination. 'Do you mind, Kal? I know normally Fred would sit here but...' he looked at the row beside us where Fred and George were deep in conversation about something. I winced.

'Sure,' I smiled and directed my attention to the front, 'I always fail this stupid class. What a load of rubbish! I once wrote about a good dream I had and Professor Trelawney went absolutely mental! I'm tempted to do it again, actually, just to see her face.'

'That'd be good...' Lee looked into space as if deep in thought, 'maybe we could organize the entire class to do it and then she might REALLY explode!' I pictured it and burst out laughing, drawing the attention of the room.

'Sorry,' I addressed the stares, people turned back to their own conversations. Right as I was about to open my mouth again to fill the buzzing silence around our desk, Professor Trelawney floated in. She was walking in a way that she assumed look mystical but actually made her look like a balloon without a string, and her spectacled actually made her look like a crazy woman. Entertaining class this would be.

'Good morn, class,' she swayed on time to the words as if there was an imaginary beat to it. 'Today we shall be exploring the ancient art used by me many times before to predict the grimmest of truths; tea leaves.' Lee besides me snickered. 'Mr. Jordan! Ms. Potter! If you could please stop laughing at my difficult and beautiful work I would appreciate it greatly!'

I snapped back to attention, Lee and I chorused, 'Yes, Professor.' She handed out our leaves and our teacups, telling us to read them. What did that even mean?

'Lee, I think you're going to be… run over by an ostrich?' He chuckled, 'No really! This kind of looks like a bird, right?'

'This is such rubbish,' he grumbled after he stopped giggling like a girl. He accepted my cup. After examining it, he reached his idiotic conclusion. 'Professor, Kal's going to get a dog!' I laughed at the sight of the distinct dog shaped blob in my cup, but stopped when she stood above me and snatched it. Her face became solemn, which scared me for some reason.

'My dear, you are in grave danger. You have the grim!'

'The-the what?' The kook had finally lost it.

'The grim! An omen of sure death! Oh!' She fell sideways and clutched at her heart. 'Just like your brother! Great misfortune awaits you both, great misfortune-' I got angry. How dare she scare my brother like that? He always took things too seriously! Once class ended, I couldn't help but notice everyone edging around me as if the Grim was contagious.

Lee was disgusted. 'What utter shite! That woman has no idea what she's talking about half the time! Full on firewhisky I reckon-'

'Kal!' Called George from across the hall, dragging a very unwilling Fred with him. I pretended not to notice Fred even if my heart started doing an odd little tap dance as he approached. Damn this, my sure death was just predicted! Was I completely mad?!

'Hello, George,' I said cooly. Ignore Fred, Kalmine. Ignore him! Ignore his blue eyes, they're looking at you, look away! IGNORE IT! This was harder than it sounded.

'Er-you don't think any of that is true, do you?' He asked. 'Is it really a coincidence that both you and Harry got it on the same day? Maybe-'

'End that sentence right now,' I hissed,'I'm not about to live my life afraid of what MIGHT happen, because if I did I would already have fallen into a pit of despair. I'm freaking Kalmine Potter, which means I'm always in jeopardy! So shut up, George, don't make me more freaked out than I already am.'

'Ahh, right,' he answered. He looked perfectly terrified by my little blow up, 'Any news on the whole godfather front?'

'Not a thing. Dumbledore might not even know I know!'

'You'd be surprised what that man knows,' Lee shivered next to me as he said so, it was so true. 'One year, I was dating Katie Bell and-'

'How is that the same issue at all?' I snapped. 'Katie's horrible choice in men has nothing to do with the possible death of my brother and I!'

'Hey!' Lee protested as George and Fred started laughing. I looked strangely at Fred to say, "We're not on good terms, remember?" and he stopped quickly, almost mournfully. Poor little Freddie. Not. And I would not feel bad for him even if he made that stupid sad face I always fell for until he apologized for blowing up on me for no reason!

'I happen to think Katie has fantastic taste,' George said. 'If you get my drift.'

'I do,' I replied, turning to face Lee. 'Lee, George has a crush on you.' Lee and Fred burst out laughing, me once again glaring at Fred. It was George's turn to groan.

'NO! Kal that is not what I meant!'

'That's what I understand,' I blinked innocently and he groaned and said a very mean word to me.

'I meant that us Weasley's can be very charming,' he elbowed Fred, who's eyes widened as he tried pulling George away. It was weird that Fred hadn't said a single word. What had happened to the talkative boy I knew? Oh right, I wasn't talking to him anymore. It made me want to cry.

'Lee's not a Weasley, mate,'

'Right. Remember that.' Fred said suddenly. I was torn between glaring at him again or jumping for joy that he had spoken, even if it was in a rude tone like his was. Then he pulled George away into the throng of students, leaving me more confused than ever.

OoOoOoOoOo

It was Christmas time, finally time for break. I was so excited for a much needed vacation from all the O.W.L curriculum, but the only thing wrong was that I was staying at the Burrow. Not, usually I adored the Burrow, in all it's unorganized homey glory. But since I wasn't on good terms with Fred at all, I wasn't looking forward to it so much as always. I wouldn't allow him to ruin the fun of Christmas, no siree, I would toughen it out though!

We all got a compartment together and chatted, the exception being Fred to me and I to Fred. Leaving horrible gaps in the conversation. It really made the ride seem longer than usual. When we finally pulled up outside, Arthur Weasley was waiting for us, and he grabbed my trunk as I got out and rushed to him.

'Kal! How nice it is to see you!' He ruffled my hair in a fatherly way. 'You've grown so much since I last saw you! It's been almost a year and a half!'

'Yeah, Mr. W, it's been waaay too long. I miss the Burrow!'

'Home we go then,' he said with a grin. I could see where the twins got theirs from. The second we walked in the door, adding Ron and Harry to the gang of people coming in, Molly jumped on us.

'Oh Harry! You look so handsome!' Harry flushed beet red to the tip of his ears. Poor lad. 'And you Kalmine!' I groaned inwardly. She meant well, honestly she did, and I was always glad when people showed an interest in me, especially an adult that was like a mother to me, but she overdid it sometimes. 'What a beautiful young woman you've become!' I turned red as well. 'If only you'd let me do something with that hair of yours...' I shook her hand away from my face like I was a dog.

'Mum, leave them alone!' George laughed good naturedly, and I thanked him in my head for drawing the attention of of me.

'Is that Kalmine and Harry Potter?' Came a familiarly obnoxious voice from farther into the house. Percy Weasley.

'Yes, Percy!' Mr. Weasley shouted in response. 'Why don't you come see them?' No! I pleaded in my head. Percy strolled up to me in all his Head Boy glory, which really was less than glorified. He was such an underwhelming authority that kids were actually tempted to break the rules more than ever. They must understand how easy it was to wind up Percy without getting caught. Regardless of his spot on grades, Percy Weasley was horribly ignorant when it came to how people saw him: he wasn't street smart. Or Hogwarts smart.

'Ah, Kalmine, very good to see you,' his nose was in the air like he had smelt something terrible. Probably took a whiff of his robes again.

'Likewise,' I said kindly, it was apparent neither of us were pleased to see each other. We had never gotten along that much, so it wasn't a big loss to me.

'I would have spoken to you more during school, but I was occupied with my duties-'

'Percy we all know you're Head Boy. We see you polishing that bloody badge twice a day! Why don't you just marry it already and make it official, god knows you'll never get anyone else.' Fred smirked. Percy heated up from head to toe, almost matching the shade of his hair quite satisfyingly. I held out my hand for a high five without thinking and Fred, also without thinking, slapped it before we realized we were still angry. We both looked sheepishly away. George raised his eyebrows at the pair of us, making me scowl.

'Let's get you to Ginny's room, then,' Molly chirped happily. I followed her head down like an obedient puppy following its (very) strict master.

OoOoOoOoOo

I awoke to a very heavy body shaped lump squashing me on Christmas morning and yelling, 'WAKE UP!' in my ear. Merlin, it was early. I moved about as if to buck the person off, but a yelp sounded in my ear and I tried to bolt up in my bed, but I was held there. This person was really heavy, probably forty pounds to my own 120. I groaned and peeked up at my attacker to see… Fred. My chest constricted at the sight of his grinning face that was staring down at me.

'Geroffme!' I managed to choke out all in one breath before I started gasping for breath. He rolled to the side.

'Good morning Kal! And more importantly- HAPPY CHRISTMAS! NOW GET OUT OF BED!'

'I would if you got off of me! You're ruddy heavy!' I moaned, holding in my elation at his speaking to me. Wait no I was still angry. But it was Christmas…

'How you insult me sometimes,' he wagged a finger in my face. 'Here!' He shoved a wrapped package in my hands. It was totally awful looking but it was the thought that counted, right?

'Thanks Fred, here,' I forked over my own gift to him sheepishly. He grinned back at me and put it down, jumping back on top of me. 'Anyway, get off me Fred. It's three in the goddamned morning! And I thought you were mad at me.'

'I was,' he frowned, 'and you were mad at me too!'

'Why?' I demanded. 'Why were you so mad at me, I never DID anything! It just… it sort of hurt, y'know? To have your best friend just suddenly be angry with you without even telling you why!'

'I'm sorry.' He mumbled. 'I-I don't know quite why I was so angry. I won't do it again. Scouts honor.' He held a hand to his heart and pledged. 'Wait, you consider me your best friend?'

I smiled mischievously and held a finger to my lips. 'Don't tell George.'

'Yes!' Fred hollered. Then he settled into my bed besides me. 'Good night.'

'More like good morning,' I muttered. My heart was drumming in my ears madly. Ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump. With that, we both fell asleep, Fred's arm slung around my shoulders. The last time we had done this was when we were twelve years old. The last time I had felt so comfortable and content was never.

A/N: Hey my lovelies! I updated quickly because it was really bumming me out, to know I ended with Fred and Kalmine on bad terms, Is that normal? No? Good. Neither am I. Smiley face.
