Rose had spent most of the afternoon and early evening with everyone, she chatted casually with the twins, and they spoke about Egypt. Rose chatted to Ron who would go a slight shade of red when they chatted – making Fred and George snigger at him and Hermonie roll her eyes. Rose was certain that Hermonie and Ron would end up together in the future and even placed a 12-galleon bet on it with Fred.

After dinner, Rose excused herself to her room and on the way up the stairs she mouthed to the twins about 10 o clock which they both nodded. Rose had already got a bottle of fire whiskey in her room, the night before she had tried to sweet talk the bar tender is letting her buy the bottle and when he wouldn't, she took it when he wasn't looking. She had left the money on the side for him – so you couldn't technically call it stealing.

It was 8pm when someone knocked at her door, Rose opened it cautiously and saw Mr Weasley standing there. "Good evening, Rose, mind if I come in?"

Rose shook her head and moved out of the way of the door, "of course not Mr Weasley come in," she said moving in front of the fire whiskey bottle.

"Looking forward to starting at Hogwarts?" Mr Weasley asked casually stepping into the room and shutting the door behind him,

"yeah it should be good," Rose told him smiling at him.

"Rose," Mr Weasley brings his voice to a whisper as he steps closer to her, "there are a lot of people within the Ministry who would discourage me divulging this with you and your brother, but I think you need to know the full picture. You are in grave danger," Mr Weasley paused,

"Is this about Sirius Black?" Rose asked him

"And what do you know about Sirus Black?" Mr Weasley asked him,

"He escaped from Azkabam and Professor Dumbledore thinks he may come after me and Harry." Rose told him, Dumbledore had only told Rose a small amount of information and if she was being completely honest with herself – she hadn't really thought to ask anymore. She had been overloaded with information that evening and she honestly thought her head would have exploded.

"Do you know why?" Mr Weasley asked her, and she shook her head and he continued speaking, "13 years ago, when you know who, Black lost everything – but to this day he still remains a faithful servant and you and Harry are the only that stands in the way of you know who to return to power." Mr Weasley paused, "I think he will try and find you and Harry, and I need you to promise me you won't put yourself in danger and make sure Harry doesn't go looking for him?"

Rose wasn't sure what to say at this point and only nodded at Mr Weasley, "Just make sure you stay safe and if you need to speak to me at any point just send an owl." Mr Weasley gave her a small smile and squeezed her hand,

"Thank you Mr Weasley," Rose returned his smile and Mr Weasley made his way back towards the door.

"One more thing," Mr Wealsey said as he opened the door and turned back towards her, "make sure the twins go back to their rooms before Molly wakes up in the morning."

It was 930 and the twins were sat in the room, they both were relieved that the bedroom situation worked out for them, Percy was sharing a room with Ron, Ginny was sharing a room with Ginny and that left the twins to be in this room.

'It was perfect,' Fred thought to himself – he knew that George wouldn't snitch on them sneaking out. Fred was slightly lost in his own thoughts, he had been thinking about Rose quite a lot over the summer when they were apart. He wasn't sure why, but he felt drawn to her – like she was the missing puzzle piece he had been looking for all this time.

"It's a bit peculiar isn't it," George's voice snapped him out of his trance,

"What's that Georgie?" Fred mused, crossing his legs and facing him on the opposite bed.

"Rose," George started, "I've never known anyone to be able to tell us apart, not even mum."

Fred thought for a moment, George was right. No one had ever really been able to tell them apart – "well mum did for a while," Fred mused for a moment and him and George shared a knowing look, when they were younger their mum used to dress them up differently but when they realised that was happening, they made a point of always swapping clothes randomly.

"Do you remember when we thought about dating the Parvati twins and Patil tried kissing me thinking it was you?" George chuckled – causing Fred to smirk.

After a few moments of silence, George spoke up again, "She is fit though, isn't she?"

"What Patil?" Fred frowned

"-No, Rose," George told him, and Fred nodded in agreement

"Very fit," Fred pipped in, he found himself thinking about the moment he saw Rose. She wasn't like many of the other girls he had been around Hogwarts, she seemed care free and it was massively attractive to him that she liked getting involved with his and George's pranks. He thought fondly to him about the second night she had been at the Burrow and how she managed to prank Percy without getting caught – albeit him and George had been blamed but it was impressive, "George, we're in trouble aren't we?"

"That we are Forge!" George said, nodding who was clearly thinking something similar on those lines. "Come on, we better get going – we cant keep our lady waiting."

When they knocked on the door and Rose opened the door to them, it stopped all of their willpower not to just gawp at her. Fred looking at his brother knowingly, who was clearly admiring her shapely legs in the her pyjama shorts. They were in serious trouble.

Rose was definitely starting to feel a bit tipsy now – her, George and Fred were on their third glass of fire whiskey. She was laying down on the bottom of the bed propped up on her elbows whilst Fred and George sat at the top of the bed leaning against the headboard. They had already discussed in great detail what the twins had been creating and they had shared with her their passion to open up a joke shop, they just needed to get a bit more funding behind them. Rose loved being around Fred and George, she would be lying if she said she wasn't instantly drawn to them. Red heads definitely weren't her usual type, but they both were attractive and had quite a solid build to them. She was sat there, listening intently to them telling her all about the pranks they had played on Ron and their other brothers.

"I cant believe you turned Ron's teddy bear into a spider" Rose laughed, "now I can completely see why he has this fear of them!"

"Oh please," Fred said, "you don't fool us, does she George?"

"That's right Fred," George countered in, "you've definitely done worse – so out with it Rose," the twins flashed their mischievous smile at her and Rose returned it raising her eyebrows.

"Oh yeah," Rose laughed, "I mean I turned everyone's bears into spiders – are we forgetting that I only just started to learn magic?" The twins raised their eyebrows at her – it was very clear they weren't buying it. Rose sighed and sat up so that she was sitting crossed legged facing them, "right okay – so when I was at school a few years ago, I had this horrible teacher called Mr Geetar-"

"Already hate him, don't we Fred," George said and Fred nodded causing Rose to smile at their enthusiasm.

"So, I super glued his drawers shut on his desk and the cupboards all over the classroom. It took days for the maintenance man to fix it all up.." Rose took another sip of her drink, "and then another time I managed to like these shock pens, so when you go to use them they shock you – I replaced all his pens with these. Poor man wouldn't touch another pen for at least a week."

Fred and George looked semi impressed with her, Rose could tell as they had this mischievous glint in their eyes and were chuckling at her story. "You are definitely the girl of my dreams," Fred told her,

"No, our dreams," George countered in. Rose rolled her eyes at them, "don't roll your eyes at us missy – we already told you, in a few years we're making you a Weasley!"

"It's true, we were looking at rings earlier," Fred added causing George to nod in agreement.

"I'll tell Molly she needs to buy a hat," Rose told them, kneeling up and positioning herself up the bed in between the twins, "speaking of your parents, what is up with your dad and his fascination of rubber ducks?"

Rose could feel her head pounding slightly, her twins had snuck out of her room about 2am and currently she was sat on the Hogwarts Express making her way to her brand-new school. Harry had offered to sit with her on the way, but Fred and George laughed, "no way" they told him, "she's coming with us." Rose had shrugged at Harry and he smiled watching the twins drag Rose off. In all honesty though, Harry was quite relieved as he needed to talk to Ron and Hermonie about what Arthur had told him and he wanted to speak Rose about this when she was safely inside Hogwarts.

Rose had her eyes shut as she listened to George, Fred and Ginny chatting in the compartment – Rose was sat quite comfortably in between the twins whilst Ginny sat opposite them. She only opened them when others came in to join them – there was Lee Jordan, Katie Bell and Angelina Johnson. All three of them were looking at her like she was some shiny new toy – they were all very friendly and it was very clear that Lee Jordan had a thing for Angelina. It came out that Angelina and Katie were on the Quidditch team with George and Fred and Lee Jordan was the commentator.

They were all chatting when the train suddenly stopped and the compartment going dark, "whats going on?" Angelina asked, looking between everyone.

Rose could feel her heart thumping in her chest and a chill started to take over her body, "is it me or is it really cold?" she asked, looking at the windows and seeing frost start to appear.

Something had caught everyones attention outside the compartment and she saw some cloaked shadow on the other side of the door, she watched as the door opened slightly and skeleton hand grabbed the side of the door bringing it open. Rose grabbed hold of George's hand and felt herself moving closer into Fred behind her – she felt the twins give her a reassuring squeeze as the cloaked figure opened the door.

Rose continued looking at it in horror, she could feel all the happiness draining from her. She could hear screaming somewhere, 'who was it?' she thought to herself – it definitely wasn't a girl – she sounded much older. Why was there a woman screaming on the train? The screaming got louder and louder that she thought her head was going to explode, but before she could even do anything the cloaked figure moved away and went to the corridor.
