Ohgodohgodohgod. Battle of Hogwarts, holy crap. *hides in corner* A/N: BoH stands for Battle of Hogwarts.

Ash would never forget that day. The Battle of Hogwarts, as it would be called. A day to awful to remember, yet it was remembered all the same.
They apparated just outside Hogsmeade Village, where they were ushered into the Hogshead Pub by Aberfroth Dumbledore, brother of Albus Dumbledore and owner of the pub. They climbed through a passageway that was hidden in a portrait. The passageway lead to the Room of Requirement, where the meetings of the DA used to be held. Cheers greeted them when they entered, which Fred answered with a wave of his hand. Then, Harry Potter was speaking, and suddenly, he was gone, and the crowd was buzzing with excitement.
Ash stood as though in a dream. Nothing seemed real. Fighting? Now? She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up.
"Are you all right?" Fred asked. Ash shook her head, and gestured to an unoccupied corner.
"What's wrong?" George asked, once they were settled.
"What if we fight?" she asked. "What if one of you gets hurt? What if…" She trailed off, unable to say the last.
"I promise you, Ash, we'll be fine," Fred said. Ash hardly heard him. She heard screams and cries in her head, and suddenly she felt as though someone had ripped her heart out.
She doubled over, eyes filling with tears, not quite sure what had just happened. Instantly, Fred's arms where around her, holding her tightly.
"Ash! Ash, what's wrong?" A voice came from above her head, but she didn't know who it belonged to.
"Make it stop!" she yelled. "Make it stop!"
"It's okay. It's okay. I'll make it stop," a kind voice said. Her eyes snapped open, and suddenly she was back in the Room of Requirement, and Fred was holding her and stroking her hair. She took deep, shuddering breaths, afraid to close her eyes, lest she go back to that horrible place of blood and pain and tears.
"Fred," she whispered, and when she said his name, a chill came over her.
"I'm here," he said. She straightened up and turned to face him.
"I love you," she said looking him straight in the eye. "Don't you ever forget that."
"I won't," he said, smiling a little. "I won't." She caught sight of George over Fred's shoulder.
"George," she breathed, breaking free of Fred's arms. "George, I love you, too. I love you both. Don't forget that. Ever."
"Uh, sure," George said, looking rather taken aback. Ash smiled.
"Get over here, you two," she said. She grabbed the twins and hugged the both of them. Though she smiled on the outside, she couldn't shake the feeling that she would never hug them together again.

*Twilight Zone music* Ash has a creepy premonition of the future. If you read Deathly Hallows like I asked you two, you would know exactly what that world of blood and pain and tears was. *coughDEATHcough*
