"All set than," I said as I caught up to the boys and we started our walk to the Weasleys house.
"I believe you forgot something valuable there, Ray," Fred said laughing.
"What's that?" I asked quizzically.
"Your broom!" George replied and gave a tiny laugh.
"Oh!" I said loudly and laughed at myself. All of the boys had their brooms in hand and Oliver was carrying a box that had the balls that you'd be playing with. "Let's go around the corner first," I said hiding around a fence of their neighbors. The boys looked at me odd and I smirked. "Accio Firebolt!" I yelled with my wand in my hand.
The boys stared at me, "You know," George began,
"That that's illegal!" Fred finished laughing.
"Not if you don't get caught! There are too many people around for them to assume that it was I, Ray Malloy, (at this point I started talking in a superman theme song voice) was indeed the one to cast the spell," I finished and put my hands on my hips and laughed.
The twins applauded me and my broom came toward me and I grabbed it. "So are we walking or flying to your house than?" I asked the twins, as I did not know how far away they lived.
"Flying," Fred said,
"Is faster," George finished.
I shook my head at how much the twins liked to finish each others sentences. "Twins are so weird!" I said and beamed them a huge smile. I mounted my broom as the boys followed suit.
"So Ray, tell us about yourself, what do you do for fun?" Fred asked me as we were flying upwards.
"Quidditch, reading, reading, and Quidditch," I smiled big.
Oliver laughed, "As it should be," he said agreeing.
I could swear I had heard one of the twins cough 'obsessed' and I glared in their general direction. As we flew towards their house I filled them in on one of the times I tried to domesticate an Erkling and tried to make it do my evil deeds at Smith's.
An Erkling is an elfish creature that tries to lure children away from their guardians and eat them, the M.O.M. Classification is XXXX.
That little story had kept the boys laughing forever and when we landed into their backyard I heard a little tiny thud next to me.
I looked down and saw something that looked like a small leather wallet. I reached out, grabbed it, and flipped it open.
I laughed right as I saw a picture of Oliver on a muggle driver's license. In the wallet was a picture of Oliver with a girl who looked about nine years old. How cute, I thought. I looked at the picture closer in detail and noticed that the girl was holding the very same white fluffy teddy bear that had a big quaffle sewed onto the stomach. That's odd, I said looking at the picture. The girl looked strangely familiar, and I had the same bear in one of boxes that was sitting in my room waiting to be opened.
"What's that?" Oliver said as he walked over to me.
"Oh! Sorry, you must have dropped it!" I said showing him the inside.
"The picture of you and that girl, she looks so familiar to me for some reason. I have the same teddy bear too!" I said laughing. "Not that I keep fluffy things like that…" I said muttering, and the twins cracked a small laugh at that.
I handed the wallet over to Oliver, "Sorry for peeping, didn't know what it was, I just saw it laying on the grou—" I stopped talking once I saw that Oliver was staring at me with his mouth wide open.
"What?" I said panicked.
His eyes looked wild, "What….did….you…….just…say," he said slowly.
"Just that the girl in the picture looks familiar and that I have the same teddy bear, why? What's the big deal? Why are you looking at me oddly?" I asked confused. The twins continued to stare and kept silent as they listened. What was going on?
"This girl," Oliver said pointing to the girl in the picture "Was my friend Letty. We used to be pen pals until she moved into the same city, than we became friends and saw each other every day…" he said slowly taking another breath.
"She and her family, they disappeared…Her mom was an Auror, and her father worked for the Ministry too, so they were wanted by Voldemort. Everyone assumed that the Death Eaters had taken them and killed them," he paused and blinked rapidly.
Okay, apparently I must be missing something. What does this have to do with me? "I'm sorry to hear about that," I said frowning. "What does it have to do with me?" I asked quizzically.
"The…bear, you said you have the same one?" He asked unsure.
"Yeah, positive. We can go check in my room if it's that important, but aren't they sold everywhere?"
"It is," he replied and ignored the last part of my question. "We'll be back, or something," Oliver said to the twins, he had a seriousness in him that the twins seemed to understand.
"We'll just be…'creating,' in the magic lab!" Fred laughed and George followed him towards the house.
"It was nice meeting you two! I'm sure I'll see you quite soon!" I yelled after the brothers. A freaking bear is this important? I was going to play Quidddditch!
"You lead," Oliver said and mounted his broom.
"Kay. Just tell me why the bear is so important?" I asked as I was flying over the houses approaching mine. I heard him sigh audibly,
"I'd rather explain when I see it, if you don't mind," he said politely.
"Okay, that's fair," I said and smiled. I had left one of the windows in my room open, so I flew through it and landed, Oliver followed suit and he put his broom in a corner of my room.
"It should be in one of these boxes, just a sec," I said starting to open them. "Make yourself at home?" I said and laughed. He stood anyways and in a few seconds I had found the bear. It wasn't as white as the one in the picture was (I tend to get things dirty, said the inner me with an evil laugh) but it's still the same one from the picture. I didn't see what the big deal was; there are probably thousands of these. I pulled it out of the box and tossed it to Oliver.
He caught it and stared at it in disbelief. "Where…Where did you get this?" He asked as he ran his fingers over the bear.
"I, don't remember…" I said. Which was true, I had no idea where the hell I got it, at the back of my mind I wanted to say it was a gift, but I'm not positive. "May have been a gift or something, they probably sell them at all the wizard department stores," I said nodding. See Oliver! What is the big deal!
"They don't sell these, my mom sewed the quaffle on here herself," he said slowly. "This is the same bear that I gave Letty when she moved here eight years ago," he said floored. "But I don't know how you got it…"
