Chap 3:

"B..but Dad said you were in the clink!" stuttered Destiny.

"What's the clink?" whispered Ron.

"I think it's like Azkaban in America." Said Fred.

"Grandpa, these people are insane! I mean it! The actually believe magic is real!"said Destiny suddenly. Dumbledore sighed softly.

"My dear Destiny, when your mother died, your father believed that it was because of magic and decided to make sure that you wouldn't go and try it. First he got the most powerful containment spell money could buy, making sure that none of your powers showed and you wouldn't be affected by magic. Then he cut off all your contacts to the magical world. Afterwards he sent you to that American reform school to make sure that you wouldn't talk about it. But I knew the spell was growing weaker, I knew that your powers would break out but when I went to find you, you had disappeared. That's when Mrs. Weasley contacted me. You are a witch." Finished Dumbledore. Destiny's eyes filled with tears.

"No! Your wrong! I'm not a freak! There is no such thing as magic!" she sobbed before running out the door. George followed her. She stopped at a tree and leaned against it crying. George touched her arm softly.

"Is it such a terrible thing to be one of us?" he asked quietly. Destiny wiped her eyes on her sleeve and sniffed.

" When mum died, so did magic, I was beaten just for saying magic, it turned into a swear word, something you should never say, let alone believe in. Then Dad got bored of beating me and sent me to reform school saying I was unstable and a problem child. Do you know what it felt like hearing your own father saying he didn't even want you to beat? I remember hitting one of my only friends because she wanted me to say "the magic word." Now your asking me to go back to the way I was. I can't go back, I just can't. I'm not that strong." she said breaking into tears again. She swung around and hugged him. George stiffened, then relaxed and put his arms around her.

"You won't be alone, there's Ron and Fred and Hermione, Harry and there's me. We'll help you." Said George playing with her long braid. Destiny stopped crying and released him. Suddenly she started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"You've named all these people who are willing to be my friends, including you, but I don't have a clue who they are!" she said.

"I'm George my twin is Fred. He's the stupid one, that's how you can tell us apart." He smiled and started leading her back to the house.

"Destiny, you have a choice, you may remain in the wizarding world or you may go back to the muggle world and never know this ever happened." Said Dumbledore when they entered. Destiny looked into Georges eyes.

"I don't want to live in the. muggle world, there is so much more for me here, friends, family, a life." She said at last. Dumbledore smiled and got up from the couch.

"Mrs. Weasley has graciously offered for you to stay here as long as you wish. I'm afraid I cannot let you stay with me, your father has some muggle undercover agent following me, he's convinced I magicked you away!" he said. Destiny nodded and hugged him.

"Thank you Grandpa Alby." She said. He smiled and waved his wand. A medium sized trunk and a small bag appeared.

"Here are some of your things, I will see you when school starts." He said as he walked out the door. Destiny looked at Mrs. Weasley.

"I can't thank you enough! Oh, thank you!" She said. Mrs. Weasley smiled.

"Consider it a sorry for hitting you so many times with the oblivious curse! Anyways, we don't have enough females around the house." she reasoned. Destiny picked up her bags and followed Mrs. Weasley up the stairs. She was staying in the room across from Fred and George. Fred peeked his head out from behind the door.

"Destiny this is Fred, Fred?" she said expectantly. Fred smiled, He had a mischevious look in his eyes.

"Fred..oh yeah, the stupid one!" Fred looked angrily behind him and kicked someone, followed by a muffled ow.

"You'll be staying with Hermione. I hope you don't mind!" she said. As soon as Destiny entered the room she saw a drunk Hermione.

"Um.Harmony, I'm sorry, you probably didn't hear but I had a double edged containment spell, no magic could interfere with me. I'm sorry." She said. Hermione hiccupped and started giggling.

"*Hic* Sheriusly? Oops." She said as she dropped the empty bottle. Destiny went to pick it up and immediately her muscles were like jelly, she hit into the wall then the bed, trying not to fall on top of Hermione. Hermione was laughing hysterically.

"What are you two up to?" asked Percy peeking his head into the room. He noticed Hermione's little curse at work and he removed it.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to deal with her soon, she's a little over the edge right now, I'm Percy by the way." He said shaking her hand. Destiny nodded and looked over to Hermione who had passed out.

"Thanks a lot."

"It was nothing." Said Percy blushing as he edged out of the room. "Good Night."

IMPORTANT!!!! Percy's going to give you a nice BIG surprise! Mwahahaaa!
