As I exited the train, I saw a sea of people. I desperately fought my way out until I found myself blinking in the bright sunlight. I closed my eyes and thought. I then quickly turned around and disappeared.

I apparated into a small meadow. I needed to get away from all those people. A meadow was the closest place. Sitting down, I waited for my owl. I sat for a long time entertaining myself by conjuring small animals and then hexing them. Hey, I have to practice somehow.

After a long period of time, I saw a black owl flying toward me.

"Hello Thebes!"

I gently took the parcel away from my beloved friend. On it was scribbled the directions to the burrow. Fred had even given me a map, like a common muggle. I guess he thought I would take a car. HA! I planed to fly!

Did I forget to mention that one of my favorite past times is quiditch. It is. I have become talented on a broom and I have a firebolt.

"Accio Firebolt!"

My broom fired toward me. I ran along side it until I reached I small cliff and then, at the last minute, hopped on and took off. I cast and invisibility charm on my broom and to not disturb the muggles.

Flying gives you a sensation like no other. It releases you from your world, your life, your fear. It takes you to a place that only the sky, the birds, and you understand. It's the only way I escape the pain of my everyday life.

I flew around looking for landmarks and signs that Fred had mentioned in his letter until I found myself knocking on his front door. The Burrow. My new home. My new refuge. My new life.

Mrs. Weasly was the one to answer the door. She greeted me with open arms and a happy hello. She seemed to feel sorry for me. I don't know what for. She knows not of my past.

"You must be Lizzy. Fred has told us so much about you."

"I'm sure he has."

"Your room will be upstairs, next to our daughter and her friend. I hope you all get along nicely."

I more softly answered, "And I as well."

I walked up the stairs dragging my trunk behind me until I reached my room. It was small and contained one old bed, a chest of drawers, a small closet, and a window. Other than that, it was bare. I heard a loud knock at the door. Then it swung open to reveal none other than Fred, grinning widely.

He ran over to great me saying, "Its been so long since I saw you. I missed you. How was your trip?"

I answered, "I missed you to. I had a fine trip, could've been better but I didn't expect much more."

Fred smiled and gently pulled me into a kiss. It was nice to see him again. He looked much the same and he smelled nice, like soap. After a few minutes he pulled away and told me that there were some people I should meet. His friends.

We walked into the hallway to see an array of people standing in front of us. Fred steered me toward a red head girl. She had fair skin and was quite slim. Fred told me her name was Ginny.

"Nice to meet you Ginny. I'm Lizzy."

Ginny said, "I know. My room is next to yours so if you need anything, I can try to help."

"Thanks!"

Next to her was someone I knew.

"Hello Ronald."

"Ron. They call me Ron, not Ronald," he said, turning rather red.

I enjoyed making fun of him.

"I know that Ron. Nice to see you to."

After Ron was a dark haired boy with green eyes and a lighting scar on his forehead. I would have known him anywhere. We had the same face, same eyes, same blood, but he did not know that.

He began to speak. "I'm Har…"

"I know who you are. Nice to meet you Harry Potter. I know a lot about you."

Harry said nothing. I guess he does not like people to know a lot about him. He should think on the bright side. Having people know everything about you is better than practically not existing at all.

Next was George. He simply nodded his head. It was understood that we were not to communicate. I figured that was Fred's doing. George does often fall for the girls that are already taken.

The final person was a girl with mouse brown hair that stuck out at every angle.

"My name is Hermione," she said with a tone of voice that made the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up. She sounded stuck up.

I said, "Well, nice to meet you but you know my name so there really is no point in me giving it to you again."

She seemed a little dumfounded. That was okay. Its not like I needed to make friends. I guess being alone, hidden in the ministry for so long has made me harsh. Since I've learned that I don't need other people, I'm not one to try to make friends. That's okay.

By this time, everyone was going on their way. Fred told me that he had to go to shopping. I volunteered to go with him, not wanting to be left alone, but he told me that I needed to spend some time with other people. He wanted me to make friends. Won't anyone ever learn?

Fred was gone. I decided to go flying. That was something that was liberating. I ran outside and summoned my broom. Just as I was about to take off I heard a voice behind me.

"Hey," the voice said.

I turned around and saw it was Harry. He to was holding a broom.

"Hey," I responded. "Do you want to fly with me? We could play quiditch. One on one. I hear your quite the player."

"Sure. I'd love to play. I like to think I'm good. I play seeker. Do you

play?"

"When I can. I'm keeper."

Harry smiled. I summoned a ball and placed it on the ground. Then I hopped on the broom and soared up into the air. Harry followed quickly.

I looked at him and said, "Are you ready to lose?"

He simply replied, "What are you talking about? I never lose."

We played for a couple of hours and it turns out that I was right. He did lose. Badly. Such a feeling of accomplishment, being able to beat my brother. I went back into the house and walked up to my room. I decided to take a shower since I was all sweaty from the quiditch game earlier.

After I had finished my shower and gotten dressed, I walked down the hall. I passed by Ginny's room and decided that I had nothing better to do. I knocked on the door. She opened the door tentatively.

"Oh, its you," She said.

I gave her a hurt look and she immediately took it back.

"No, that's not what I mean. I thought you were my mother. Come on in."

I accepted the invitation and walked into her room. It looked much like mine except there were a whole lot more people in it. Actually, almost everyone had crammed into her room. In a circle sat Fred, George, Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Ginny ran back to her spot in the circle and the whole group shifted to let me in. I sat down.

I asked the group, "What's going on?"

Fred answered, "We were about to begin a game of Wizard Truth or Dare. Care to play?"

I had never heard of Wizard Truth or Dare. Truth or Dare was a measly muggle game that is intended to wreck the lives of the players by forcing them to tell deep secrets or do embarrassing acts. But Wizard Truth or Dare, now this could be fun.

Fred could tell that I did not know what the hell he was talking about so he explained the game. Apparently, it is about the same concept but in this case, a spell is cast around the group. Once you are in the game you can't leave. The spell makes you do what you are told, whether you want to or not. Also, if you are asked a question, you can't lie. Pretty sweet game.

"Count me in," I stated.

Fred and George cast the spell around us. The spell caused a huge golden net to surround us within our circle. No way out. The game had begun.

"So," I said, "who wants to go first?"

"I'll go," Fred said. "Ginny, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"How many bases have you gone to?"

"Three"

Silence filled the room until Harry, quite loudly shouted, "Bloody hell! With who cause it sure as hell wasn't me!"

"Sorry," Ginny said, "only one question per turn. My turn! George truth or dare?"

"Truth"

"Wimp. Who is the prettiest girl in the room?"

"Lizzy."

Blunt honesty. Fred's face turned a lovely shade of purple. He apparently did not like the idea of having his brother have the hots for his girl. I wonder who he did not trust. Fred or me?

"Lizzy, truth or dare?" George said.

"Dare."

"I dare you to make out with Fred."

What an original dare. Like everyone in the whole freaking world does not use that same dare. Whenever a couple plays truth or dare, this is what happens. I complied. It's not as much fun to make out with somebody when you know there are a butt load of people watching you do it. Major turn off.

"My turn," I stated. "Harry, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"What would you do, if you found out that the guy that Ginny has gone to third base with was your worst enemy?"

"I'd hex him so many times that you would no longer be able to tell that he was ever human."

Well, I must say, that is a little harsh.

Harry harshly said, "Ginny, truth or dare?"

Ginny liked to stare fear in the eye and replied with a truth. Harry asked her who it was and she replied that it was Seamus.

Ginny then turned back to me and said truth or dare.

I decided to be like the rest of them and I chose truth. Ginny said, "Do you like Harry? I noticed you are staring at him."

I tried to come up with an answer that would not give me away, but the spell got me before I could. I stated, "Not in the way you think. I don't like him as a boyfriend. How could I? He's my brother."
