First of all, I'd like to thank IlliterateReader7 and supergirl818 for the reviews 3 It's been 12 years since I posted a fanfic on the internet and was a little nervous to come back to it.

Also, I'd like to point that English is not my first language, so if there's anything that caught you eyes that sounds a little weird or wrong, let me know :3

George looked at his friend as she tried annoyingly to clean the rainbow-colored ink off of her perfect creamy white dress. It was Christmas already and, for some reason unknown they were all spending it at the Spinnet's house. He sure loved spending time with Alicia and Fi Spinnet, and it was always cool to spend some time around good ol' uncle John, his father's best friend, but he was always a little nervous when Fionna, the girls' mom was around. Fionna wasn't a bad mom, but she was a really bad company. Alicia now looked like she was about to cry, George was starting to feel a little bad about pranking her with the false chocolate truffle, especially for how happy she was when he and Fred gave her the truffle, they knew it was strictly forbidden to have any type of candy in the Spinnet's house, so they knew the girl would for sure fall for it, but he couldn't deny that when the truffle exploded, making her becoming a living rainbow, he laughed his butt out.

"Here" they heard Fred's voice coming from the hall. Then the door was opened and he dragged a confused Bill through it. "It was supposed to disappear after some minutes, but it's still here"

Bill was holding back a smile, he knew he would make the girl angry if he laughed at her "No problem, guys, it's actually really easy to be fixed. See?" He said while touching his wand to her dress, making the ink slowly disappear towards his wand, as if it was sucking the ink to its insides.

Alicia looked at the mirror, half sad and half relieved. Sad because she actually preferred the dress with the colorful ink on it, relieved because maybe now her mother wouldn't ground her. She sighed at the sight of the perfect clean dress. It wasn't as buffy as the dresses her mother would make her wear. Now that she was growing up, she would be put into more slim dresses, less fairy-tale-like, but yet way girlier than she would like.

She would be twelve years old in just a few months now, and her first year in Hogwarts was being just perfect so far. Her grades were all perfect as well, she was for sure a really smart girl, which was great, because she would get some points to Gryffindor very often when she answered a question right or finished her works earlier and had time to assist her classmates. The bad part was that, by the end of the day, the points earned would just balance out the points she would lose herself. Since her first week, she was constantly getting into trouble, most of the time she would be accompanied by the twins, those were the times she would get caught, she loved them, but they couldn't do their mischiefs quietly if their lives depended on that. Other times she would just go on her own secret adventures, well, not so secret, because she would always tell Fred and George everything afterwards.

In one of those secret adventures she had, she found out a secret passage near the dungeons that would lead to the outside of the school, near the Quidditch pitch. After she found that out, she, Fred, George and Angelina Johnson ( a girl from her year that turned out to be a really reliable friend) would, at least once a week, break into the brooms' deposit and fly around as they were playing the mentioned sport, well, just pretending because they hadn't found a way to steal the ball set from the school yet, but they would work that out pretty soon she guessed.

When they arrived in the kitchen she could see her parents talking cheerfully to her godparents. Molly and Arthur were sat by the table drinking wine while John and Fionna took care of the cooking. The food was smelling great, but she knew it would smell better if Molly was the one doing it. She now turned her attention to Fred and George, who were hiding behind the couch in the living room trying to pick Charlie and Fi's conversation.

Right in the first school month, she got stuck doing not only her homework, but also George's, all because that stupid bet they had made the day they got to Hogwarts. She couldn't say she was upset though, because when she walked into the Gryffindor's common room and saw Charlie and Fi kissing, she couldn't be happier. As much as she thought it was the best thing that could have happened, she had to keep it a secret, well, at least from the adults and Percy. Her mother had a strict no-dating policy and if she found out Charlie and Fi were boyfriend and girlfriend now, she would for sure make things way harder than it should. And how hard can it be? Alicia caught herself thinking It's literally just liking someone and spending time with them, why should anyone think this is wrong?

The moment she got behind the couch to join her friends in their espionage mission, Bill got to them and whispered.

"Are you all insane? Do you want them to get caught?" while dragging them to the backyard.

The Spinnet's backyard and garden were for sure beautiful, but it wasn't as fun as the Weasley's. They had a big swimming pool they never used, "the chlorine will ruin your hair" her mother would say whenever Alicia tried to convince her to let the girl take a swim. They didn't have more money than the Weasley's, but having 5 fewer mouths to feed for sure provided them with a broader possibility of choices when it came to how to spend their money. While she was thinking about all these things she would always have in her head, she felt someone push her to the swimming pool and, in a matter of seconds someone holding her back from falling right into it.

The one who had pushed her was Fred Weasley, the one who held her back was George Weasley.

"Are you trying to get us killed?" said George looking at his twin "If she falls in the pool, Fionna will ruin Christmas, and if Fionna ruins Christmas because we pushed Alicia into the pool, mom will ruin our chances of living the rest of our lives"

"Oh I'm so glad that the only reason you don't want me to fall into the pool is for your own safety" Alicia started getting away from George's safe grip. "Next time, before pranking me, pushing me into places or just teasing me, you should think about that piece of parchment paper of yours you have hidden under the loose floor tile in your bedroom." She said that looking at Fred now.

Now it was his turn to be angry "What? How would you even know about that?" then he saw the guilty expression at George's face and understood why Alicia knew about it.

Fred loved Alicia like a sister, even more than like a sister, well, he would love Ginny very much but he wouldn't include her in his adventures, but he would always include Alicia's in his. He also loved George like a brother, because well, he was in fact his brother, and there was no doubt they shared a special twin bond. But something about Alicia and George's dynamic would make him really angry. Sometimes he just wanted to spend some quality time with his twin and have some secrets of their own, but it didn't matter what happened, George always ended up telling Alicia everything and vice versa. Imagine how left out he felt just back to their very first school month when he discovered Alicia was doing George's homework because of a bet, a bet he didn't even know about, about something he had no idea that was going on. Their friendship would always make Fred jealous.

"It doesn't matter how I know! I just do. In fact, it would have been an intelligent decision telling me about it the moment you got it from Filtch's office" She said looking straight into Fred's eyes. "Because I know you haven't found out how it works yet, and I'm a pretty smart person and could be a lot of help"

"Kids, come inside, dinner is ready" they could hear Fionna's melodic voice calling and they all ran inside.

Christmas and New Year had been really nice for the three kids (except for some minor misunderstandings between Fred and Alicia), and even nicer for Charlie and Fi, who seemed like a honeymoon couple, always holding hands and kissing, their friends were even starting to get a little annoyed by it. At first, Alicia thought it was a stupid thing for someone to be annoyed by other's happiness, but after spending the holidays in their presence, she was starting to feel like it as well. The problem was that she had to spend a lot of time around them during the recess, because if they spent too long alone someone might suspect something. By someone, it meant Percy. Charlie and Fi's relationship had to remain hidden and if Percy found out, he would tell his parents. Molly and Arthur would be really happy for the teenage couple, they always say that there's nothing more beautiful in the world than young love, but once they knew it, they would have no other option than telling Fionna and Johnnathan, and if this information got to Fionna's ears, the two youngsters could just wave bye-bye to their happiness.

The moment they got to the train, Fred, George and Alicia got away from the couple as fast as they could.

"Free! We are finally free!" Fred said dramatically as if he was trying to catch his breath after a long time underwater.

"I was afraid of getting mono just by standing around them!" George said, less dramatically but still making Alicia laugh

"What is mono?" Fred asked confused

"It's that thing muggles get when they kiss too much" he said as if it was a piece of normal information "I heard dad telling Bill about that one day"

Alicia was pretty sure that there was more to that information, but she decided to let go, after these holidays, if there was something she would for sure never want to talk about, was kissing.

After the train left and they were passing through the hills, Alicia, who was sharing a cabin with Fred, George and Angelina, said into George's ear, trying not to call Angelina's attention, what seemed to be easy, because she was cheerfully telling Fred about the Quidditch match she had watched between Christmas and New Year

"So, the parchment paper, can we take a look at it tonight?"

George seemed uncomfortable with the subject, and moved around on his seat a little bit, so he could face her and also whisper next to her ear

"I don't know Ali, you weren't even supposed to know about it, I told you that in secret and you yelled about it at Fred the first opportunity you had"

Alicia could feel her ears getting red, So she would just be left out of it? She had the right of being involved too! She always had been, why now she just would be left out and treated like she wasn't part of the trouble club? She knew that if snapped at George's she would just make it worse, so she tried to pretend she wasn't angry, and she was very good at pretending.

"George" she said as sweet as she could, and touched his hand as she had seen Fi doing with Charlie for years when she was trying to convince him of doing something "I just want to help. I think that if I take a look at it maybe I'll be able to figure it out. I'm the best one in spells and…"

Before she could finish she heard a really angry Fred Screaming:

"What are you two whispering about?" his expression was somewhere between hurt and hate. Then his eyes traveled to their holding hand and got even angrier "So! That's it now? You two will be whispering and holding hands and leaving me out of your schemes? You two might as well just share a cabin with Fi and Charlie if you're following their footsteps"

Before George or Alicia could even say something, Charlie slid the cabin door open. Charlie was a head boy now that he was in his last year, and had to make the rounds on the train.

"What's going on with you three?" He said a little louder than he was used to "Since Christmas, I had to stop you from jumping to Alicia's neck at least 5 times"

"And it impresses me you ever care!" yelled Fred getting up of his seat "Since you started dating Fionna all you two do is snogging and acting like we are not even there" then he looked at Alicia and George's direction "And it's no surprise these two rats are following your footsteps!" He quickly ran off the cabin while Charlie was too confused to stop him. He looked to Alicia and George who quickly let off of each other's hands and said, at the same time

"It's not what it seems"
