Chapter 2- A New Life
Disclaimer- I do not own HP. I do own Blaze: Back off Sparky.
Running through the corridors she paused, wand in hand. She muttered nothing but the lock on the door shuddered and fell to the ground. Yes, she could do powerful magic. She opened and gave a sigh of relief. Everything was intact, and nothing had been array like her dream had given a vivid picture of.
It had just been a dream.
She had happened upon this room by mistake a while back, but had never really paid attention to how majestic it was.. At 2 O'clock in the morning. It was pitch black as she silently closed the door behind her and slid into one of the plush red leather chairs in front of the roaring fire place. She leaned back and managed to spot the ancient books around her, inhaling, she took in the scent of mildew and dismissed with a loving sigh. The silver and gold titling on the spines of the books seemed to give of an eerie glow, a glow that almost said, "Read me next!" She closed her eyes in comfort of the old library, she could read about adventures, histories, and fantasies all of her life.. But romances, ah! Romances.. It had never suited her fancies to read, " And then the gallant knight through my yearning body unto the moist ground, soaking my backside.. But it wasn't as bad as my soaking pa.." No, never would she subject herself to that.. That filth. Ok, maybe she never really, 'Read', one before but.. She could only imagine the possibilities. Fine then! She thought about it a lot.. But what other hormone driven teenager hadn't?
She closed her eyes, consumed in the feeling of wonderment by just sitting in seclusion. Would anybody really care if she never came out? She could live in here, eat bookworms or something to that matter. But no, Dumbledore would know. He always seemed to understand her unspoken words.
She opened her eyes to find that she was not secluded anymore.
" What are you doing in here?!" A pair of boys came into the room.
She stared and evil glare. (One that could give Draco a run for his money.)
" Oh, you're the girl.." The one on the right said to his twin.
" Fred, shut up! Well hello Ms. Flamel!" He said sticking out his hand politely.
She took it eagerly, maybe a friend?
" Well Fred, she's not so bad.. Maybe she just needs the right people to be around with." 'George' said to his buddy smiling an evil smile.
" Hey George, you thinking what I'm thinking?!"
They exchanged looks of pure fun.
" Let's make her one of us!" They exclaimed yanking her out of her seclusion never, it seems, that her life would not be the vow of silence she had chosen to keep.
They through her down on a bed in the DADA Quarters where they taught. After many adventures, they had learned a lot about the Dark Arts. The Twins practically lived in the Dark Forest.
" Well since our Little Brother and Sister are to shy and conservative.." Fred said pulling out a box from under the bed.
" We have to get SOMEONE to keep our legacy going, and you are the perfect someone." George responded getting another box from behind the door.
The vow of silence had taken its toll, she yearned. She yearned for friendship.
Love will break this cursed silence that she had taken. She was a loveable, funny, and caring person.. She now realized what had been missing. She had caused something again.
She had caused her own misfortune.
She opened her mouth to speak, speak beautiful flowing, graceful words that she had only read in books.
The Twins were looking away.
" I understand that I might be quiet, but I have this great invisible slicking crème I invented."
They turned around in utter shock, never would one figure that they would make her speak. Plus, why had she been hiding herself from the world? She voice was like music, so calm, yet so full of energy and hidden pleasures.
She blushed in the understanding that it might be weird for her to talk to them, I mean. It's like a wall suddenly lurching out saying, " You know what I ought to do to you if you hit me one more time! I'll tell you what I'll do!!" But none the less, she was a beautiful person.
George slowly tip-toed his way to his side and sat down on the bed with a soft 'thud'
" You create pranking things..?" Fred said, finally getting out of his shock of the situation.
She smirked, " What do you think I was planning in my mind? Do you honestly think I was reciting the Hogwart's Rule book the whole time? Pranking used to be my life! I couldn't go anywhere without someone coughing up musical notes, or rain drops plaguing people as they ran for cover."
" You are so, perfect." George said placing his hand on her leg.
She slowly picked up his hand and placed it back into his lap, " Isn't there a policy against student-teacher dating?"
" Not that I'm aware of.." Fred said, sitting down on the other side of her taking her hand in his.
" I would appreciate NOT having a three-some today.." She smiled weakly while trying to stand up.
Fred pulled her back down with the joined hands.
" It will be fun." Fred said.
She took it into consideration, they were both bloody gorgeous.. She let out an audible sigh.
" Let me take a rain check on that one."
The Twins looked at each other, " You know.. This 'waiting' thing will only make us want you more, you know that right?" George said slowly getting up, trudging to the door to open it for her.
" Oh, of course!" She squeezed Fred's hand softly as he let go of her.
She made her way to George at the door, he seemed down fallen.
" Cheer up Buddy! Life is great, life is fun. Enjoy it! You taught me that." The girl said leaning close to George.
George took this opportunity and leaned in, as if to kiss her.
She turned her head so he kissed her cheek.
She sighed, " Friends first, then more."
Her eyes seemed to glow as she walked out the door. This was a brand new life, full of everything that was intended for me. Friends, love, and hope. Hope that there will be love. And pranks, tons and tons of pranks. She would learn later of the legacy of the Weasley Twins, but now she had to go make friends. And possibly, she shivered. Something else.
A Brand New Life for Blaze Flamel.
