*Chapter 1*
It was cold but what else would you expect in a Scotland autumn,The yellow and black scarf helped keep out the cold out to an extent but Tilly couldn't help but rush into the old rustic castle.Hogwarts has always been a chaotic place even before potter and Voldemort's endless battle in seeing who could destroy the Old castle and killing random people but now with the added spice of the wizard tournament.But that's a rant for later today Tilly would somehow eloquently place into a conversation with her friends later after this horrible cold day that of course she had potion on with the schools favorite and only positions teacher Snape.Before Entering her first year of Hogwarts she had heard Audun her older brother complain and grumble about this mysterious potion teacher in person and the letters he would send her,but could never believe how he could hate someone to the existence that he did, even now after almost 8 years of dropping out and Auduns negative feelings towards snape are still strong, but that is in the past and she is not the naïve optimistic first year that hoped Audun was being the drama queen he always is.
She is now a fourth year that fully understands and agrees full heartedly with Audun,As Tilly took her seat in the mildew smelling class this agreement with Audun only grew the moment she smelled the musty Cologne "Did it seem to slip your smooth mind that you had detention yesterday, Miss.Guhubble."There the greasy hair man stood looking down his hooked nose at Tilly the obvious annoyance and disgust on his face "I'm sorry processor but I got caught up in helping professor Mc-" dropping his books on the desk Tilly flinching back at the sound echoing in the now silent class "I do not want to hear your dim witted excuses,two weeks detention!" He flourished his cape and strutted away in his annoying fashion.
If he wasn't her Teacher Tilly wouldn't hesitate to Alarte ascendare the greasy man into the next century and gladly show him her appreciation for his four years of torment.The sound of a scrapping chair next to her brought her out of her violent thoughts did you try the McGonagle excuse?" Whispered her friend Lilly a gryffindor that had ginger hair with dark roots and a bad perm that still somehow still looked good on her but she always looked good Lilly was a generic beauty skinny,tall,perfect features and a cute little laugh you were crazy if you didn't think she was pretty."yeah,I tried the mcgonagle excuse and It got me more detention this weekend." Tilly huffed crossing her arms against her chest,leaning back into her chair against the desk behind her.The sudden faces of two ginger boys shooting to both sides of her, scared her and caused her to shoot forward making her lose her balance.
Tilly swung her arms in the air trying to catch her balance in the high chair. She felt like a chicken trying to fly.The two boys laughing grabbed the back of her chair and set it back on the ground before she had fallen backwards "Why!" Tilly yelped holding tightly onto the seat trying to touch the ground with her foot,almost cracking her head open freaked her out but more importantly everyone else seeing her do it.It also was very embarrassing to think that the twins basically held most her weight at that moment.The twins laughed harder at the look at your face "we saw an opportunity," "that we couldn't ignore." They spoke finishing each other's sentences but Tilly had no clue who had started it and who had finished it.She only saw the the twins for a few classes and randomly in the hallway running away from a teacher or by some poor sap that was pranked by them(usually that ginger prefect),so for as bad as it made Tilly feel that she couldn't tell who was who; there identical twins and even there friends who see them on the daily cant split them apart most of the time.
"you got detention with snape this weekend ,yeah?" One of the twins asked, smirking at her "why do you care, weasley?" Now fully turned towards them Tilly raised an eyebrow at the boys. Lilly looked very entertained with the boy's antics towards Tilly but she couldn't see the humor in almost giving her brain trauma,so if she was a bit snippy it was excusable ."weasly!" they both gasped one twin dramatically putting his hand over his mouth the other twin just as dramatic " We thought you were different!" " but your just the same as them!" They finished exclaiming together holding on to one another like drama queens.Lilly now giggling even more poking Tillys shoulders going "tst tst tst" only making Tilly more annoyed than before even if it was a little entertaining all Lilly was doing was encouraging poor behavior from the twins. " Merlin you're too dramatic for this early in the morning, yes I do and no I will not let you copy from me but I will help you study." Tilly huffed raising her note book already knowing where this was going, almost everyone in the class and other students have asked to see her notes and homework because even though she is absolutely garbage at the activity of making potions she can do the simple transfer of information from the book to paper for your notes. After the spring break in there first year when everyone had failed their tests Tilly realized that she should probably not let people copy her work anymore because it was just hurting them instead of helping.so now she would just offer to study with them even though her grades were just slightly above passing.
" study? If we studied I think our mum would have a heart attack,no thanks!" laughed the twin on the right scratching his head in awkward manner flinching at the loud sound of the pointer hitting the black board silencing the class,Tilly quickly spun forward to face the black board and snape" open your books to page 16-" drawles snape the twin on the right leans forward and whispers
" if we have to deal with snooty snape all by ourselves again we're gonna go mental ." The one on the left nods his head and suggestively leans forward " anyways we're looking for something new to play with!" He purrs with a wink, Tilly tried to keep her facial expression the same she knew the reason why he did that was to get a reaction out of her.Tilly wasn't going to give him anything else to feed his ego but she knew the blush forming isn't something she could hide easily.
The other twin shoved his brother mumbling something to him, this of course starts a shoving match behind her until one of them knocks over the thickest book possible on their desk to the ground. The class turns around in unison towards the twins making Tilly feel a wave of anxiety crash against her at the eyes looking past her" of course its you two imbeciles, can't have a second without being in the spotlight mr.weasley's." Drawled snape looking even more annoyed at them than Tilly believed possible for the so she believed human face to look "two weeks detention!" he stares daggers at the boys before snapping back around to the blackboard.Tilly and Lilly quickly look at each other before starting to take notes.
Free period couldn't have come any slower with snapes to do list of homework and flitwicks essay Tilly already knew what she would be doing during detention if snape had a moment of decency in his crusty life. Tilly winding around the students from the three schools randomly sitting and laying down talking to one another grassy field going to the big oak tree where her friends met up almost every free period,they were already there talking and laughing about something Ollie was saying very animatedly." yeah and then the little bitch tried to eat my hand!" She Exclaimed Pointing to her left hand .Ollie a slytherin,with straight auburn hair that reached her shoulders and was the oldest of the group." The plant wasn't trying to eat your hand,it was just suckling on it ." Replied Jensen, the only guy in the group, who's messy hair covered the bottle rimmed square glasses that clashed with his green robes "oh Ollie you have an admirer." Smiling Tannis looking up from her book she had long hair that she always kept in a ponytail with bangs that framed her face.Ollie had a disgusted look on her face from that comment "your Lucky, my admirer is snape." Tilly states behind Ollie and sits next to tannis against the tree accepting the hug "oh lucky, he's sexy like he needs a shower and I would be willing to help him." Purred Ollie moving her eyebrows up and down as everyone gagged and laughed in response "I see none of you have the same fine wine Taste as myself!" Ollie throws her hair behind her and sits on the ground in front of you "what's up with snape?" Asked Jensen, looking at Tilly little concerned. Everyone in the group knew Tilly could take care of herself and tell people how it is when she wanted to but there have been past experiences that still make them worry about her.
"Snape gave me two weeks detention with the weasley twins because I fell asleep in my dorm instead of going to detention yesterday ." Tilly huffed leaning on Tannis"did you try the Mcgonigle excuse?" tannis questioned looking over at Tilly, the sun gleaming against her glasses"Yes I did and it didn't do anything!" Tilly leans against Tannis's shoulder looking at the words in her book that had no meaning to her"that always works! He can't be figuring this out,it's all we have left!" Jensen whined as Ollie crawled next to you the sudden sound of people yelling caught all of their attention making them quickly crank there necks,after what had happened at the quidditch cup everyone seemed to be on edge except for a few slytherins .before the quartet was the somewhat distant scene of who Tilly believes is george weasley chasing Lee Jordan in the field shoving and tripping over students with Fred yelling something that Tilly couldn't make out but it made a few boys laugh and some girls blush,Maybe it was Fred chasing lee? Tilly still has no idea how to separate the two.
"bloody hell the weasley twins are so annoying how haven't they been expelled yet!" Jensen questioned "because there gryffindor ." The three girls replied in unison making Tilly laugh at how serious the three of them were but it was the truth! If any other house did the same things they would be immediately suspended or expelled "it is the same reason why Harry Potter gets away with breaking school rules let alone over 20 laws." Tannis quips shutting her book pushing up her glasses "I can still remember my first year. It was so calm, well Hogwarts calm but there wasn't a firework going off in the library every other week !"" AND THE GREEN HOUSE!" Exclaimed Jensen throwing his hands in the air as Tannis started rubbing her temples.
Tilly could Remember the first time she had come across the twins ,on the Hogwarts express the two had set off stink bomb in a second years trolly and the putrid smell had spread threw the whole train,even with opened windows everyone had to smell the pungent sent all the way to Hogwarts."there obnoxious ! half of their jokes aren't even funny; they just use others at the expense of a bad joke." Tilly states as the memory how red Ron was while the twins had flown through the school halls dropping howlers they started howling his not so amazing grades while he chased them on foot yelling at them to stop.That was when Tilly offered to give the younger weasley boy secret private tutoring lessons and since then he has done better than before,he's no genius but he can pass his classes which is all that matters in the end. That reminds her that she needs to reschedule with Ron.
"oh remember what they did to poor Ginny. " Ollie gasps looking up ,Tilly and Tannis nodded remembering the very embarrassing prank if she could even call it that just thinking about it made her blood boil.Jensen looked confused looking at the three girls looking for an explanation which Tannis quickly took the opportunity to spill "You know who Ginny is right?" Jensen shook his head he could hardly remember teachers names and class rooms let alone random people"Ginny is there younger sister and they thought it would be funny to take her training bra and use it as a slingshot for slime balls on top of the Observatory tower right after everyone got back from winter holiday." Tannis finished crossing her arms ,Jensen looked shocked mumbling "wild" under his breath.Ollie started chuckling trying to cover her mouth with her hand " Tilly was half way up the stairs before Tannis and I had to drag her down,I think she would of killed them if we had let her!" A smirk started forming on Tannis and Jensen's face "you should have let her then,they probably would have chilled out." Jensen chided, shaking his head looking over at Ollie.
But he was right just thinking about how embarrassed Ginny was that she started to cry,boys are still bullying her for it and it's not even her fault! Tilly couldn't understand how the twins thought it was a Funny thing to do to someone let alone there sister.

Fred had a pretty great morning if he could say so himself ,And he could.It was Finally Free period and he and George had already set up most of their pranks this morning so now it was just time to sit back and wait for the fun to start. Fred hadn't talked to George while they walked to the alcove with Lee or for most of the morning he was still annoyed with Georges commitment to Tilly. Speaking of Tilly, Fred Could see her Walking in the grass towards the tree she'd always go to with her friends during free periods.Tilly always was Walking in a dream-like state wherever she walked even with her friends it was like she was in another world.Fred always wondered what was going through her head as he leaned against the alcove still watching as she hugged her fifth year friend.
Sitting with her friends, Fred noticed how Tilly looked so relaxed in a way he never saw in class,the way her shoulder relaxed against the tree trunk, a happy look in her deep set big brown eyes. God her eyes even when she would walk past him and make eye contact with him even for a second in the halls it was like her eyes had a mysterious amber glow from the light,always somehow perfectly casting around her.
A hard elbow in his ribs making him sputter from shock looking at his brother" did you hear anything I just said forge?" Quipped George with a mischievous smirk on his face " I think his girlfriend was distracting him George ." Laughed Lee nudging George who started smirking at the look on freds red face.
" I don't know what you're talking about but Bulgaria had no chance of winning against ireland during the cup !"Fred stuttered looking away from his friends trying to change the subject away from Tilly but he could still feel the heat in cheeks rising " man you're not even dating her and you're whipped!" Lee exclaimed, slapping George on the back"Tilly does not have me whipped!" Fred yelled at them only to relize what he just said and immediately regretted ever saying as his brother and friend stop laughing for a moment to look at each other before acting like hyenas almost on the floor ' ' Gubby?! Gubby from potions class!" Lee gasps whipping a tear from his eye
,Fred squeaked, looking scared.
Fred just knew he looked like a tomato. "I was just messing with you!" Lee breathed finally calming down"I had no idea that you liked her until now." Lee started patting Fred's shoulder trying to comfort him as all color started leaving his face; he just knew that George and Lee would never leave him alone about this. "So wait did you know?" Fred questioned looking at his brother patting down his jumper "I had some idea but I wanted to see if I was right or not but Lee did all the work for me! Cheers mate." George smiled looking at Lee who bowed with a flourish "IS THAT'S WHY YOU SAID THAT TO HER!" Fred yells the red in his cheeks returning as he shakes his brother by the shoulders "what did George say that was so bad ?" Questioned lee trying to get some information out of one of the twins before one got there brain shook out of them of or the other exploded from embarrassment
.
"this plonker during potions class leans close from behind her and like a git says "we're looking for something new to play with!" And he winked at her!" Fred now exasperated from this whole experience and Lee was not helping because he started another round of laughing with George who failed to cover his smile " I couldn't help myself she's all ways so to the point,so serious!" Lee agreeing with the statement adds "I don't think I've even heard her actually smile or laugh at most it's a chuckle or a smirk." Now that Fred thinks about he doesn't think he's ever heard you laugh at any of his and Georges pranks or jokes.Fred had seen Tilly smile like actually smile not that little smirk she does ,it's one of the things that made him realize he liked her"wow you really picked the cream of the crop Fred ." George threw his arm over Fred's shoulder shaking him "she's making him cream for sure." Lee laughed shoving Fred and george out of the way as he started to run down the corridor with a once again red Fred not to far behind him yelling at Lee with George trailing behind laughing and yelling not so appropriate things at Fred.As Fred was chasing Lee through the throng of people yelling and screaming at them he could hear a laugh that just for a second made him wanna see who it came from.
