...
I left Sadona's room after she had drifted of to sleep in mid sentence, my stomach was yelling for food, and I was feeling sleepy myself.
"Night Sadona" I whispered turning out the light and slipping out of the room.
Night was falling outside and the shadows grew longer. I entered the living room and spotted George on his couch, he was sound asleep.
For a moment I just stood and stared, he was still dressed in his light red tee shirt and jeans, and his hair lay astray on his forehead. I couldn't stop the smile from growing on my lips or surprises the strangest feeling that grew in my chest as I looked down at him.
I drew my self in, the smile disappeared, and I lump grew in my throat. We couldn't be, there was just too much drama, and there was his girlfriend, he was just toying with my heart.
I forced my self to look away and continue on into the kitchen. Fred looked up wearily from his cup of what looked like coffee and a letter; he greeted me with a small smile.
"Hungry?" he asked.
"A little" I admitted and my stomach growled then.
"A little?" he teased. "What do you want?"
"What do you have?" I ended up with a turkey sandwich and a cup of water.
I sat down at the table across from him and took a bite of the sandwich. He picked up the letter looking hesitant; it was manila colored parchment with fancy cursive writing.
"What's that?" I asked him curiously.
"Huh?" he looked up at me.
"The letter, what is it?" I asked gesturing to the letter with my sandwich before taking another bite.
"Oh, this, it's just an invitation." He shrugged.
"To what?" I asked eagerly.
"Hogwarts, they are having some sort of reunion, Sadona has one here too."
"That sound great!" it really did. "Are you going to go?"
"Well, I don't know, I guess I could talk to George about it."
"Don't get to excited" I teased sarcastically. "There has got to be tons of your friends going, from what Sadona told me, you two were quiet the popular twins."
"Yeah I bet Oliver, Lee, Alicia, Angelina, and Katie are going" Katie! The moment he said that he looked like he wanted to take it right back. "So how is your sandwich?" he asked quickly and I had to love how thoughtful he was.
"Its wonderful" I couldn't help but smile at him, I could never ask for a better friend. I finished the rest of the sandwich and said goodnight to Fred, who continued to eye the letter.
"Night" he said and I left for bed. As I passed the couch my eyes once again fell on George who was still dead on the couch. I quickly drug them away before my feelings could take hold of me again but I still felt that warm feeling in my chest. What was wrong with me?
Not long later I climbed into bed for what I wanted to be a good night sleep.
I woke entirely too early after only falling into a good deep sleep at two, my thoughts had been stuck on George the whole night. I had only fallen asleep after deciding to put the whole thing that happened between George and me behind, unless of course, he brought it up.
My hair was a mess from all the tossing and turning I had done and my eyes had dark shadows under them. I sighed deeply then quickly ran a brush threw my hair, snagging it more then once on a knot. I stumbled out into the living room where, I noticed with surprise, the couches were empty.
I made my way into the kitchen to find both of them at the table letter sitting in the middle of the table. George was reading the Prophet and Fred was finishing a bowel of cereal.
"Morning" I mumbled, falling into the car between the two.
"Hey, you're up early!" Fred commented.
"I should say the same to you" I smiled at him and he winked, someone was feeling good.
"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" he examined the shadows under my eyes.
"Thanks Fred" I sarcastically chirped and grabbed myself a bowl of cereal.
"Guess what?" Fred asked excitedly after I sat down with my cereal.
"What?" he slapped the palm of his hand on his forehead and I looked curiously at him, what was he doing.
"The whole point of the 'guess what' is for you to guess"
"Well, I don't want to guess"
"Then I wont tell you!" oh he was trying to push my buttons, and it was working.
"I will not guess this early in the morning and if you don't tell me right now, you will regret ever asking me to guess what!" George looked at me over the top of the paper at my completely serous face and he laughed.
"Fred, I would listen to her" he warned.
"Alright, goodness little miss sunshine" I growled and he held up a hand. "The news is, George and I discussed the invitation and I told Sadona about it when she was yelling at four in the morning for a glass of water." He stopped for a breath and I couldn't help but laugh. "So Sadona said she was defiantly going and George and I are going so…we want you to come too" he finished and arched his eye brow questioningly. "Want to come?"
"Do I want to come?" I asked and they both watched me closely. "DUH!" they laughed. "You will need to thank me though" I added.
"What, why" Fred asked looking confused.
"Because, I am going to suffer something worse then a thousand deaths" they looked at me very confused and a bit worried.
"How" Fred questioned.
"Shopping" they faces broke and they laughed. "Sadona is going to take me shopping and she wont rest until I have something 'cute'" I winced at the word.
"Miah, really" Fred laughed and patted my shoulder pitifully. "I think you will make it."
"You better hope" I winced. "So when is it?"
"Let me see" Fred looked at the letter once more. "Here we are, it is in three days, actually!"
"Great, better get the shopping done soon-"
"Did I hear someone say shopping?" Sadona stood in the door way on her crutches, looking much better then yesterday.
"You look good, how are you feeling?" I asked my best friend.
"A million times better!" she dramatically stated walking forward. "We will go shopping after I eat breakfast!" she just about demanded.
"Oh no, your staying here and resting." She pouted.
"I feel fine, we are going today" she was not going to give in easily and I could see arguing with her would get us no where.
"Fine, we will go after you have breakfast and then ice for fifteen minutes" and I held a hand up warding off any more arguments but she just wore a triumphant smile.
I took my empty cereal bowel to the sink and she stole my seat. I got her some cereal and then went to go get dressed, leaving her happily chatting with Fred, who looked content to sit there listening all day.
I pulled on a pair of my favorite skinny jeans and a white shirt with a bunch of my favorite band Muse's song titles printed on it. I slowly laced up my black high top chucks and met Sadona to ice her ankle.
She bounced her right leg up and down impatiently as she waited for the fifteen minutes to pass, Fred and George went down to open up the shop. They had kindly gave me the day off so that Sadona could take me dress shopping.
"Has it been fifteen minutes yet?" she asked for the forty millionth time.
"No" I mumbled after peeking at my watch, only 5 minutes to go.
"How about now?" she asked a minute latter.
"No"
"Now" she wined a little later.
"Yes, give me that" I grumpily groaned and I took the ice from her. She leapt up and followed me into the kitchen as I slowly put the ice away. Then before I had even finished closing the freezer door she had my arm and she was dragging me down the stars.
"Help me" I mouthed silently to Fred and George as I was drug past and they just laughed.
Merlin for an injured girl she could go fast!
She dragged me down the street and into the first shop she saw that had dresses in it, and the next shop, and the next shop after that. To so many different shops I stopped counting at ten.
We had just stopped for lunch and now were back on the hunt for my dress.
"There has got to be a dress for you some where!" she cried sounding exasperated as she dragged me, once more, into what was probably shop number thirteen. Nothing was slowing her down, not even her crutches.
"Here try this!" she threw only the thousandth black dress at my face and pushed me into the changing room. I pulled it on and grimaced. It was an open back with a strap around my neck and glitter down the sides, glitter. I stepped out and immediately Sadona pushed me back in with a second dress after frowning at the dress I had on.
The second dress was a rich brown with ruffles, too many ruffles.
The third dress was a sweetheart top with black that melted into grey towards the bottom, but it was way, way, way to short!
"I have a good feeling about this one" Sadona encouraged handing me the fourth dress. I held it up and smiled, I did like it. I pulled it on as fast as I could and paused to look in the mirror.
The dress was a strapless sweetheart style that ended just above my knee. The top sweetheart part was back and then the bottom was a rich purple with striped black netting over it. I loved it, as much as me loving a dress could. I strutted out and Sadona's hand flew over her mouth.
"I'm I good or what?" she laughed giving me a high five.
"Or what" I teased.
"Oh shush" she rolled her eyes and I paid for the dress.
Sadona had found herself a pretty emerald green dress with a black sash, it really brought out her eyes and made her look breath taking.
We hurried back to the shop and raced up stairs clutching the bags with our new dresses close, we didn't want the guys seeing them, that would ruin everything.
"I wanna see!" Fred moaned but we just ignored him. Feeling good obviously Sadona cooked up dinner while I "helped".
When the guys came up the shock was clear on there faces.
"What is this?" George asked.
"Just a thank you" I smiled.
"Well, you are most defiantly welcome. George we should do nice things more often!" Fred looked hungrily at the food and we all laughed.
"Number one way to get to a man's heart, food" Sadona teased and Fred tried to look innocent.
"I'm hungry" he pouted. The meal filled our bellies very nicely and we all sat back with satisfied sighs.
"Well I have my dress, my legs are aching, and my tummy's full, bed time!" I stood and stretched.
"Night" they all called and I was soon cuddled under the covers fast asleep.
...
Miah had taken Sadona to Fred's room and Fred was denying the love he had for Sadona, which was very obvious.
I smiled laying back on the couch after he had left me for the kitchen. I felt sleep hanging heavily on my eye lids and it wasn't long before it swallowed me whole.
"SOMEONE, HELLO!" I heard Sadona's voice yelling from Fred's room.
"Ugh" came from the couch across the room.
"You gonna get that?" I teased. Fred groaned and stood sleepily on his feet.
"What Sadona?" I heard him ask.
"Could you get me a water?" I couldn't help but smile then look at my watch. She yelled at four in the morning for a water?
Fred stumbled past me and I could see the smirk playing on his lips, and then he came back, water in hand, and entered his room. I waited and waited for him to emerge from his room but he wasn't, I was just about to go check what was going on myself when he appeared.
He gently shut the door and padded over, sitting on his couch.
"What took you so long?" I asked slyly but he brushed it aside.
"I was talking to her about the invitation I got for the reunion at Hogwarts."
"Oh, is she going."
"Yeah."
"So that means you want to go, right?"
"Well I wanted to go anyway" he defended himself.'
"Mmhum" I smirked.
"So you will want to go too right?" he asked.
"Why would I want to go?" I asked not sure if I wanted to hear the answer, if he said because Katie owled and said she was going, I would beat him senseless.
"Because I told Miah and she wanted to go."
"Really, that great!" that was great and I forgot all about Katie.
"So you are going?" Fred asked.
"Yeah..., so we are all going" I confirmed.
"After we double check with Miah, probably." I nodded and stretched back out on the couch. Maybe this reunion wouldn't be so bad.
I couldn't get back to sleep, no matter what I tried, so I ended up heading to the kitchen. Not to my surprise Fred followed. I got the prophet and had just opened it when Miah appeared.
Morning" she mumbled sitting down.
"Hey, you're up early!" Fred noted.
"I should say the same to you" She smiled at him and I caught Fred wink at her.
"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" I heard Fred comment and I spotted dark circles under her eyes.
"Thanks Fred" she sarcastically thanked him getting herself a bowel of cereal.
"Guess what?" Fred asked eagerly and I knew what he was going to say, she sat down with her cereal.
"What?" Fred slapped his forehead with his palm.
"The whole point of the 'guess what' is for you to guess"
"Well, I don't want to guess" she retorted.
"Then I wont tell you!" I rolled my eyes, what a bloke.
"I will not guess this early in the morning and if you don't tell me right now, you will regret ever asking me to guess what!" I peeked over the top of the prophet and saw the seriousness in her face and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Fred, I would listen to her" I warned.
"Alright, goodness little miss sunshine" she growled and he held up a hand. "The news is, George and I discussed the invitation and I told Sadona about it when she was yelling at four in the morning for a glass of water." He stopped for a breath and I couldn't help but laugh. "So Sadona said she was defiantly going and George and I are going so…we want you to come too" he finished and arched his eye brow questioningly. "Want to come?"
"Do I want to come?" I watched her closely. "DUH!" we laughed. "You will need to thank me though"
"What, why" Fred asked looking confused.
"Because, I am going to suffer something worse then a thousand deaths" what in the world was she talking about!
"How" Fred questioned.
"Shopping" is she serious? I laughed. "Sadona is going to take me shopping and she wont rest until I have something 'cute'" she winced as she said the word cute
"Miah, really" Fred laughed and patted her shoulder pitifully. "I think you will make it."
"You better hope" she teased. "So when is it?"
"Let me see" Fred looked at the letter once more. "Here we are, it is in three days, actually!"
"Great, better get the shopping done soo-"
"Did I hear someone say shopping?" Sadona stood in the door way on her crutches, looking much better then yesterday.
"You look good, how are you feeling?" she asked Sadona.
"A million times better!" she dramatically said smiling big. "We will go dress shopping after I eat breakfast!"
"Oh no, your staying here and resting." Sadona pouted.
"I feel fine, we are going today" they stared each other down for a moment.
"Fine, we will go after you have breakfast and then ice for fifteen minutes" Miah held up a hand that stopped any more arguments but Sadona seemed happy with what she got.
Miah took her bowel to the sink and then left to get dressed, leaving me with Sadona and Fred who talked happily. I buried my head back into the prophet leaving them to their conversation.
We left after Miah came back deciding to give her the day off, Verity came not long after we opened up and then not much longer after that Sadona came dragging Miah with her.
"Help me" Miah mouth pitifully, but I just watched and laughed.
They were gone all day and I began to fear the same thing that had just happened to Sadona, no more then two days ago, had happened once more. I could see the same stiff worry in Fred's face as we watched the hours tick by.
My mouth had just opened to suggest we go look for them when they hurried threw the door, bags clutched close.
I wanna see!" I heard Fred wine but they ignored him and kept going.
At first I wondered if they were hurt and they did want us to see but I was relived to see the playful smirks. I looked to Fred who smiled back looking as relived as I felt.
We finished up work after a few more long hours and waved goodbye to Verity before locking the door.
"So when-" Fred stopped talking and took in a deep breath. "Do you smell that?" he asked. I hesitantly lifted my nose and sniffed. The most heavenly smell met my nose.
"Yes I do!" I cried and we raced up the steps.
"What is this?" I asked as we reached the kitchen.
"Just a thank you" Miah smiled.
"Well, you are most defiantly welcome. George we should do nice things more often!" Fred said looking greedily at the food and I laughed at him.
"Number one way to get to a man's heart, food" Sadona teased and we both looked at her hurt.
"I'm hungry" Fred pouted.
Dinner was a dream come true, it beat every night we went out, no matter how high class the restaurant.
It reminded me a bit of my mum's cooking and I couldn't help but feel a pang of homesickness. But really I wasn't missing home, or really mum, just he wonderful meals every morning, evening, and night.
"Well I have my dress, my legs are aching, and my tummy's full, bed time!" Miah stated and she stood, stretching.
"Night" we called as she headed off to bed.
"I should probably get to bed too" Sadona said not long after and she left us.
"Well now sleep doesn't sound too bad" I sighed and I left the kitchen and Fred followed.
I laid back on the couch and rested my head on my arms staring at the ceiling. I heard Fred get comfortable and before long his familiar snores filled the room.
I don't recall when I drifted off, but I was soon snoring as well.
