139. Books and Snakes

**Fred's POV**

"Where are we going?" George asked.

"Maybe the old lady's house" I said.

"Sh. She might hear you" 'Mione slapped my chest.

"How could she hear me, 'Mione?" I asked with a smirk.

"I don't know... But she might be able to" 'Mione said.

The old lady then entered a very very old house that was sort of like Harry's...

Harry then followed her and 'Mione, George, and I looked at each other.

"Isn't there a rule on never going into strangers' creepy old houses?" George asked.

"Follow the Chosen One" I said and we went inside.

It was a total mess. Everywhere I looked, it was dark. Not much space because everything was absolutely everywhere and it stunk... A lot.

"Nice place you got here" George and I said together sarcastically.

"Sh" 'Mione whispered harshly hitting us.

"Stop hitting me, 'Mione" I whined.

"I will stop if you stop saying things like that" She said.

"Sorry, Love" I wrapped my arms around her.

The old lady was trying to light a match.

"Here, let me do that," Harry said, taking the matches and lighting them to light the candle.

"Let there be light" George opened his arms and earned a smack from 'Mione.

"Why do you hurt us? I'm your brother and he's your fiancé" George pointed to me and himself.

"I love you both, but you need to shut up. You might make her upset" 'Mione whispered.

The old lady then stared at us.

"This is uncomfortable," I whispered.

"Fred" 'Mione started.

"I'm being honest, 'Mione" I put my hands up.

"Miss Bagshot, who is this man?" Harry asked, holding up a picture and the old lady turned around.

Bagshot picked up a candle and walked up the stairs.

Harry then followed.

"Harry" 'Mione whispered.

"Don't leave us," I said.

"I don't like this," George said.

"Lumos" We heard Harry say.

"Come on" I said and we got out our wands.

"Lumos" All three of us said and we walked up the stairs.

"Hey, what's this" 'Mione looked at a book.

"'Mione" I started. "This is no time to be looking at books."

"Not that" 'Mione said. "Look at this."

'Mione held up the not that read:

Dear Batty,

Thanks for your help. Here's a copy of the book, hope you like it. You said everything, even if you don't remember it.

Rita

"I bloody hate her" 'Mione growled.

"What's this book?" George asked.

Never thought I'd hear him say that...

"The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" 'Mione answered.

"I like 'life', but not 'lies'" I said with a smirk.

"Come on, we lost Harry" George said and Mione put down the book and we headed down the hall.

"There's a closet," I said.

George opened the closet to find bugs.

"Why the bloody hell are there so many bloody bugs in this house?!" I exclaimed quietly.

"Oh my Merlin" George pointed his wand at the ceiling.

'Mione and I looked up to find blood.

"Harry!" We all screamed.

"We have helped him," I said and we turned, but 'Mione tripped on books.

"'Mione" I helped her up.

"I'm fine. Come on" She grasped me and George's hand and we ran.

We then heard Harry yell.

"Harry!" We yelled and we ran faster.

We then stopped and went through a hole that led to a baby blue nursery.

It seemed like a normal, clean room. The color sorts reminded me of my eyes.

"Why is this room so clean?" I asked quickly.

"Not time for the question, Fred. Harry!" 'Mione said.

"There's another hole let's go through it," George said and we did so.

We found Harry laying on the floor and a really big snake ready to attack.

'Mione pointed her wand at the snake and it made a hole on the floor and the huge snake fell in it.

"You alright, Mate?" I asked as George and I helped him up.

"Brilliant," He said.

'Mione grabbed Harry's wand quickly and stood up.

After a mere second, the snake shot back up.

Before it could hit any of us, 'Mione shouted "Confringo!"

"'Mione" I grabbed her hand and all four of us Disapparated to another forest.
