" where have you guys been?" Asked Lee, when Castelia and George had returned from their cave adventure.

Castelia, Fred, George and Lee were sitting in the three broom sticks, sipping butter beer.

" we went exploring in the woods" said George .

" the woods?" Asked Fred , laughing, "who's idea was that?"

" mine" shot Castelia.

" what a shame, I though you weren't boring." Said Fred, sipping his drink.

"That was pretty much my reaction when she told me we were going for a stroll." Answered George , " but hey, Cas almost died in a cave."

" you almost died?" Asked Lee, staring at Castelia, " now this I got to hear."

Castelia Sighed,

" I just wasn't looking where I was going"

She really didn't want to inform Lee and Fred about her stupid encounter with a certain eight legged spawn of Satan .

" okay. So you weren't looking where you were going... and then what?" Asked Lee curiously.

Castelia was now glaring daggers at George , who had started this entire conversation.

" and then nothing" Shot Castelia.

" oh come on, what happened?" Grinned Fred.

Castelia had had enough.

"And then I walked into a fucking spider web." She spat.

" a spider web?" Asked Lee, " how is that the equivalent of a near deaths experience? I had a pet spider once..."

" because I'm scared of spiders" Castelia said, she had not been planning on sharing that bit of information with the group.

" you're scared of spiders?" Fred asked, surprised.

Castelia nodded. She could tell they all felt pretty bad.

" it's fine, I just didn't want everyone to know, it kind of ruins the reputation..." Castelia said, the group still looked pretty scared. " that was a joke, you're supposed to laugh."

George was the first to let out a nervous laugh, and the others quickly joined in, soon the group of friends were all laughing.

" did you really have a pet spider?" Castelia Asked Lee, after they were all back to normal.

" yeah, had him till like my third year, then he died."

The rest of the day was spent wandering in and out of various shops. At one point Castelia spotted Harry and Cho Chang walking into a tea shop looking rather uncomfortable, she waved, Harry waved back. Once the group had finally decided to head back to castle it was late in the afternoon, and Fred and George claiming that had something to do left Castelia and Lee alone.

" have you noticed they've been distant lately?" Lee asked once the twins had left.

" a bit, I guess, I just figured they're busy with N.E.W.T stuff." Said Castelia.

"I highly doubt that." Said Lee, " when have you ever seen Fred and George study?"

"You have a point. But they've got to have some intelligence to invent all that Weasleys Wizard Wheezes stuff right?"

" right." Lee agreed.

" I'm going to go, I have O.W.Ls in a few weeks and I haven't even touched a text book in weeks." Sighed Castelia.

" since when do you care about academics?"

" since that bitch granger decided to inform our entire year she will be getting ten outstandings" Said Castelia, rolling her eyes.

" do you even take 10 classes?" Lee grinned.

" I added Muggle Studies And ancient runes at the beginning of the year." Castelia stated.

" boring. I don't understand why you would want to spend extra time studying." Said Lee, turning to leave,

"I'll see you at the quidditch match Saturday."

Over the next few days Castelia put all of her effort into studying, she was not about to let Hermione beat her. Castelia could brew just about any potion without using any sort of instructions, She could transfigure a pillow into a bird, she was practically a master at non verbal spells, and as for Muggle Studies, she had lived with muggles for almost 15 years, she knew her stuff. But the one thing she just couldn't get the hang of was history of magic. Why in the fuck would she ever need to know the exact end date of the first goblin war? And she didn't give a shit so that was also a contributing factor.

Castelia had decided to go the the quidditch match only to see how badly Griffindor would fail. They were playing against Hufflepuff and since Harry and the twins had a life long quidditch ban, griffandors chances of success where extremely slim.

Castelia sat in between Fred and George on Saturday morning high up in the stands. Lee was commentating the match so it was bound to be entertaining.

" there is no chance in hell Griffandor is winning" Fred was saying.

" they're rubbish without us" George continued.

" I would say you two are being very egotistical but I completely agree" said Castelia.

" Ron looks like he's about to die." She noted.

" he probably is" George said, looking over at Ron who was hovering on his broom in front of the goal posts.

" you know, quidditch was the only thing in this place worth staying for." Yawned Fred.

" if Smith beats us im going to kill myself." Said George ,firmly.

" kill him instead" Sighed Castelia.

" that bitch keeps smiling at me" Fred frowned.

Castelia looked in the direction he had indicated to see Professor Umbridge smiling evilly up at the trio.

"We'll kill her to" Castelia reassured.

The match lasted exactly twenty two minutes. Ron had missed a grand total of 14 goals, and some kid fell of his broom. This was a total waste of Castelia time, as she left the pitch she could here 'Weasley is our king' being sung by the Slytherins in the distance.

Over the next few days Castelia was bored out of her mind, she almost wanted her parents to come Find her already. Trelawney had been sacked so that was fun, though Castelia did feel bad for the divination teacher. And then there was that one fifth year, Hannah Abbot, who had a mental break down during hurbology, she burst into tears and claimed she was to stupid to take her exams, Castelia agreed, which earned her 10 points from slytherin, she didn't care. Hermione and Castelia were now not on speaking terms considering both of the girls were striving to be top of their class.

If not for the D.A lessons Castelia was pretty sure she would have gone mad. Even though she managed to do everything Harry taught them perfectly on the first try, she still enjoyed herself.

They had finally started working on Patronus. Castelia, Fred, George and Lee where all standing in the corner of the room attempting to produce a Patronus while Harry kept reminding them it would be totally different when actually facing a dementor.

" so where have you two been" Castelia Asked Fred and George, this was the first time she'd seen the pair in a few weeks.

" busy" answered George , attempting to produce a Patronus.

" I haven't seen you in two weeks and all I get is 'busy'" Castelia Shot.

George ignored her

" watch and learn." He said, as he pointed his wand into the air, it was a pathetic excuse for an attempt.

" unless your Patronus is a really thin worm I think you failed" Laughed Lee.

Lee pointed his wand at the air, a second later a large figure erupted from the end of his wand. It was a huge freaking spider.

" I did it guys!" Lee said, excitedly.

" beat that bitches!"

Castelia watched as Fred and George both eventually produced a successful Patronus, a hyena and a chayote. Lee was still bragging about his spider.

" you try Cas" said George , watching his hyena jump around the room.

" I'm sure whatever it is it's definitely not going to be cooler that ours" grinned Fred.

Castelia held out her wand, silently praying for something not stupid, like a butterfly. She thought back to when she was happiest... these meeting made her pretty happy. And of course that didn't fucking work. She really didn't want to use that memory but after four failed attempts and Fred, George, and Lee all laughing at her, she finally though back to the moment when she had kissed George . Not the whole love potion fiasco, but the real kiss, in the change rooms. it hadn't been their first but it was her favorite.

" expecto patronum!"

A large silvery serpentine object erupted from the end of Castelia wand. People all over the room gasped. Someone whistled.

" woah" gasped Lee.

It was a basilisk, a huge freaking basilisk slithered through the air until it finally evaporated.

Castelia was grinning,

" beat that, bitches!"

" that's not fair..." complained Lee.

The door of the room of requirement opened and closed again, and Castelia saw a house elf. The elf looked like it was about to faint, it's eyes were wide with terror and it was tugging on Harry's robes.

" Harry Potter, sir..." trembled the elf,

" Dobby has come to warn you..."

The next thing Castelia knew the elf called Dobby was hitting its head rather violently against the wall, a few seconds later Harry had managed to restrain Dobby.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked, gripping the elf by the arms.

" she... she..." the house elf stuttered.

" who is she?" Asked Harry.

For one horrible second Castelia though Dobby was talking about her, but Harry asked the elf about Umbridge and Dobby nodded.

" she is coming!" Squeaked the elf.

Everyone in the room stood motionless.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Harry yelled "RUN!"

Everyone ran for the exit at once. Castelia managed to get out rather quickly but lost Fred, George, and Lee in the process. She really hoped they weren't stupid enough to try to make it all the way back to their dormitories, the library was much closer and they weren't breaking curfew for another ten minutes.

Castelia pulled out her map,

" I solemnly swear I am up to no good"

The map flickered to life, she scanned it for the names, Draco and Umbridge had apparently caught Potter, whatever fuck him. Castelia frowned, Fred and lee had somehow managed to get to the library, but George's name was hovering over a broom cupboard.

" fuck"

Castelia could hear the inquisitorial squad marching around the corner. Sprinted around the corner and past the cupboard George was hiding in, but before she could event shout a profanity someone ( George ) grabbed her arm and yanked her inside the dark closet.

" What the fuck Weasl..." before she could finish George clamped his hand across her mouth.

There were foot steps outside the door.

Castelia held her breath. If Umbridge were to find her and George shoved inside a closet together she would probably send Castelia to Azkaban.

Whoever was behind the door finally walked off, and both Castelia and George let out a sight of relief.

" that was a close one." Grinned George .

In the dim light George looked fucking gorgeous and so kissable, but Castelia refrained herself.

" why did you drag me in here?" Castelia shot, she was clearly flustered " I was Fine on my own"

" sure, love"

" don't call me that"

" yes, love"

The broom cupboard was so small that they were practically nose to nose.

" can you hear anything outside the door?" Whispered Castelia, suddenly very aware of their proximity.

" can I kiss you?" Asked George , rather quickly.

" no"

" why not?" Asked George , wrapping his arms around her waist, which proved to be an extremely difficult task due to their lack of space.

" because every single time we've kissed it's gone progressively farther, and I don't want to end up having sex with you in a broom closet." Castelia explained.

"So you want to have sex with me?" Smirked George .

" I said i DONT" Castelia emphasized.

"You said you didn't want to do it in the closet, but like a bed you know..." Grinned George .

Castelia glared at him.

" fuck you"

" that's what I was saying" Laughed George .

" I'm leaving" declared Castelia, opening the door to the cupboard,

" have fun sitting here on your own"

" i'm standing" he said stupidity.

Castelia rolled her eyes

What is wrong with me? Castelia thought, as she moved closer to George .

She glared up at him,

" you're an idiot" she said, as she kissed him slowly. She could have swore he leaned in first. He smiled into the kiss, and as usual it began to escalate. Castelia started running her hands through his ginger hair, he lifted her up of the ground and pressed her against the wall, her legs straddling his waist. His kisses dotted her neck, she let out a sigh as she played with his hair. This was definitely heaven.

And then she came to her senses.

" stop" she whispered,

" George put me down"

He set her gently back on the ground.

" why are we doing this in a fucking broom closet?" Asked George .

" exactly my point." Said Castelia,

" we should wait ... till we ..."

" yeah, agreed" George nodded.

" I'm going to go now" Castelia muttered, and then for some god awful reason she kissed him quickly and speed walked the hell out of there, leaving George grinning in the middle of the corridor, and to be honest Castelia was also smiling.

Castelia knew she was getting soft, and if she didn't start acting like a Carrow she would probably end up dead
