Suze POV

"Excuse, me sir? You dropped this. Do you need any help?" I asked... just putting my new acquired accent into use. "Thank you." The man with the blonde shoulder lenght hair replied as he faced me to get the envelope in my hands. "May I help you sir?" I asked once again. "Why yes,... as a matter of fact... Susannah? Is that you?" I had no time to reply or complain for the said man pulled me into a tight embrace. He must have seen the confusion in my aghast face.

Susannah wasn't here, I was called Suzie... no more Suze, Susan, or God forbid... Anne.

"I'm sorry, sorry... manners, where are my manners,Lady Susannah, I am Ciouriatus Malfoy, it is an honor to finally meet you." The accent, I am turning into goo... aahhh... See, british accent makes everyone sexy, even this forty something man who is shaking my hand. Thank God Paul has no accent whatsoever or I might have... anyway,...

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" I replied with a smile that I hoped did not read. "This-girl-has-no-idea"

3rd Person POV

It has been about a week since Suze left home without a trace, except for her mom and Andy who knew, but except them, nobody else knew where she was, not even Adam and CeeCee... especially Gina. Arthur and Remus said that this was for the better.

"Remus, can you take care of mom for me? I know she's very worried by now...Please?"

"Of course I will, Suze."

"...You called me Suze."

"Right."

"Suzie..." She corrected him.

"I'm sure." That was the last and fifth conversation she had with him... not that she was counting or anything...

SuzePOV

"Fred, George, This is my uncle, Ciouriatus." I introduced to both Fred and George. They were shocked too, at first, but they closed their moths discreetly when I gave them the eye... they'll get over it.

"So... how do you know this is your uncle?" One of the twins spoke up, I 'm still not sure on who is who... yet.

"Ah, we're not blood relatives. A seer in the family predicted the arrival of Ms. Simon and it just so happens that my brother had been acquainted with her parents back then. Our family is willing to take responsibilty of Ms. Simon while we search for her parents." My uncle how-do-you-pronounce-it-again explained to them warmly. He had this aura of friendliness around him. Not that I see it, I feel it.

Wait, what is a seer? Someone with eyes?...

"Really, wow, Suzie, you already got something. I told you we were considered lucky charms." One, I'm guessing, Fred, joked.

"So,... what are you planning to do?" George asked me. I just remembered... George was the one with the red right ear while Fred was the one with the yellow one. Just something I did earlier... cackle.

"Ummm..." This is taking long. I mean, what if this guy was in a gang or something? Or if all the people in their family are snobby or if they're all old...

"Do, not worry, I have a nephew as old as you are. Now that I think about it, you two might get along well." That was a relief.

Fred and George looked satisfied... But I didn't want to leave them just yet... I just met them! And we were getting along...

"Do you mind if we talk about this?" I asked in my most persuasive voice...at least I think it is.

"Sure, Here's what, I'll be back here at noon tomorow and you decide to come with us or not." Us? Who the heck is us?

His family you dope!

"Okay." Nice going Simon.

"So I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked me again and there was this hopeful look in his eyes. "Mhhm" I nodded as a confirmation. I walked him to the door and waved goodbye.

"So, what are you gonna do?" George asked again. The other was out of sight. "I dunno." I shrugged. I mean, nobody knew I was arriving and how come he knew? I slumped down the bed.

"Honesty, I think you should go with him." I looked up and saw Fred standing in the doorway, munching on a licorice stick. "I don't want to leave you guys. We just met." I frowned. Goodbyes were always so damn hard.

"We'll still see each other in Hogwarts." What?

"I thought you said you're never going back to that "bloody castle"" I quoted and George appeared just behind him and hit his head with an egg... that was boiled.

"You're going back to Hogwarts?" George asked skeptically. He threw me a look wich asked: Is he mental?

"No, my dear brother," Fred cooed as he draped a heavy arm around his brother. I saw George breathe in relief. "We are." Fred finished.

"What!" George exclaimed as he struggled to get the heavy arm of said brother off his shoulder. "Are you mad?" He needed to clarify his brother's sanity.

"Yeah, Fred. What made you change your mind?" I asked as I lay down the bed flat on my back, staring at the ceiling.

"Nothing really. I just wanted to see how you'll do in Hogwarts." He answered. It was quite muffled. I imagine he is under George's headlock... I wasn't paying much attention but I smiled athis concern...they kind of remind me of Jake and Brad... it is scary sometimes because both remind me of both my steps... did that make sense?Kind of twon in one which is two...Anyway, I wasn't really paying close attention to the wrestle match goingon.I was imagining how Hogwarts was like... the twins described it as a huge castle filled with secret passages and lots of legends and as they said, the best part about it was the food.

Appearing magically before you...

And there were ghosts... They said everybody can see these ghosts.

Speaking of that, I haven't told anyone about my ability... I might be branded a freak.

When I asked them about these ghosts they said they were like people, they talk, they float, you pass through them and they're transparent.

All in all, it was three over five. Ghost to mediators are like people, they talk. And ordinary people pass through them. But the transparent and the floating part was a different case. I was so intuiged about this that I never thought I'd see the they that I'll be excited to see a ghost... weird.

I Stood up abruptly and told the words I hope I'm not going to regret.

"I'm going."
