**Disclaimer** I do not claim to own anything that's not mine (J.K. Rowling wrote these amazing things before I could even dream of them). I do claim my main character, Dee.
I settled into my room comfortably. It was dusty and covered in Slytherin paraphernalia but I'd stayed in worse. A simple cleaning spell rid me of the dust and I'd just have to live with the Slytherin crap that soiled the walls. I kept most of my possessions locked away in my trunk in case anyone was nosy. The main problem I had was a small, ugly house elf. He Did Not like me staying in his Master's room.
One evening I came in to find considerable dents, scratches and singes around the lock on my trunk. A loud cracking pop sounded behind me. Turning, I glared down at the little elf. He glared right back.
"Why were you trying to break into my trunk?" I demanded.
"Master's room. Not yours." He replied.
"Leave me and my stuff alone!" I nearly shouted.
"Kreacher did not bother ghost girl's stuff." He sniped back. My face drooped in shock and confusion.
"But you said…" I started.
"Kreacher never said he was on to mess." He replied.
"Then do you know who was messing?" I asked.
"Kreacher might have seen one of the blood traitor red heads messing." He remarked.
"One of? Which one? And don't call them that!" He huffed at me in reply and popped away, leaving me standing there alone. I fumed for a few minutes before I calmed down. I didn't like the idea of someone trying to break into my trunk. I decided next time someone tried to get into my trunk, they'd get a nasty surprise. I set to work casting the necessary spells for the booby traps.
B~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~B
I was going insane trying to keep an eye on them all and keep myself updated on what was going on with the Order. Mrs. Weasley was also all over keeping the kids away from the meetings. That helped a bit. I didn't completely agree that they should be kept in the dark from what was going on with the Order. It was hard trying to do my "job" when I didn't agree with it. So several times I found myself purposely slacking.
Today was a slacker day. I laid across the bed in my room. Kreacher had already made his daily appearance to curse me for still residing in his master's room. I had out a wonderful old novel, from the muggle world, called Pride and Prejudice. I lost myself in the novel. I didn't try to surface from the quick sand of my mind until I heard a scratching sound from my door. Looking over I saw an ear poking from beneath, an expendable ear… I heard quiet whispering from the other side of the door. I quietly got up from the bed and made my way to the door. Putting my ear directly to the door, I could make out the voices from the other side easily.
"George, are you sure you heard them correctly?" Fred asked.
"Yes. I heard Mum and Dad Discussing with Sirius about some security being in this room." George replied.
"I don't hear anything." Fred commented.
"I know someone is in there. There is a trunk in the closet I was trying to get into…" George insisted.
"Is that what happened to your hair?" Fred asked. George didn't say anything in reply. "Why are we trying to listen under the door? Why don't we just go in and check it out?" Fred asked.
"It's locked." George answered simply.
"Then how did you get in to try to get into the trunk?" Fred asked, sounding irritated.
"It wasn't locked then. That's how I know someone is in there. Sometimes it's locked and other times its not." George explained. I heard George let out a sigh.
"Alohamora." The lock in my door clicked, unlocked. Traitor. I scowled at my door. "Simply brilliant." Fred congratulated himself. "Didn't think of that, did ya?" George didn't reply. I quickly invisified before they could open the door and walked in.
George wore a short sleeved, green, buttoned shirt with faded jeans. Fred was about the same except his shirt was red and yellow striped. They both looked around the room. "I don't see anyone or anything suspicious." Fred commented. George moved towards my bed and picked up the book I'd left lying there.
"What about this?" He demanded, holding up the book. Fred shrugged.
"So? Maybe Sirius' brother enjoyed old muggle classics…" He suggested. George rolled his eyes at him.
"Yes. A Slytherin was interested in muggle things. That makes complete sense." George replied sarcastically. "Besides, look at how clean the room is…"
"So Mum keeps it tidy in here… big deal." Fred said.
"I haven't seen Mum even reach for the doorknob to this room. It has to be someone else." George insisted.
"Maybe Sirius—" Fred started but George cut him off.
"Will YOU for Once believe me Fred?" George angrily shouted. Fred grinned at him.
"Georgie, if I ever took you seriously and believed you, I'd have to start believing myself and then we'd be in a world of trouble…" Fred teased.
"Fred, please. Look…" George motioned toward my closet. They opened it and looked in at my trunk.
"I'm not trying to open it. I remember your puke green colored hair…" Fred said.
"I'm not trying again either, probably has a worse curse on it this time." George replied. "But isn't this all enough evidence? Someone is staying in here."
"Who would be staying in here George? And why wouldn't they just show themselves?" Fred demanded.
"Well, do you remember my ghost, from the map?" George asked.
"George, don't tell me you think a ghost is living in here. A little creepy for one thing, plus, why does a ghost need a trunk? To store it's "boos" in?"
"No. Not a ghost, Fred. She's real. She just makes herself go invisible, as if she had an awesome invisibility cloak built into her." George urgently explained. Fred didn't look like he believed him. My heart went out to George and I considered revealing myself to them.
"Okay George. An invisible girl is living here in this room. Let's say I believe it. Why is she here and why is she keeping herself hidden?" George sighed and put his head in his hands.
"I don't know why she's here. Every time I catch her, she won't answer my questions and I think the reason she stays hidden is because she's in danger." George answered. Fred seemed to be considering what he said.
"What does this girl look like? Is she anyone we would know?" Fred asked.
"No. She's not anyone we would know. She's a bit taller than Hermione and has long dirty blond hair and beautiful piercing blue eyes. She's a little on the skinny side, skinnier than last time I saw her—"
"Wait. You've seen her here?" Fred interrupted.
"Yes. In the kitchen when I didn't follow you after breakfast a week ago and you came back yelling for me." George explained. I was grateful that he left out the part about us almost kissing.
"Oh ya. I remember…" Fred mused. George seemed lost in though some where now. "George?" Fred prodded. George shook himself out of thought.
"…I think I'm falling in love with her…" He said softly. Fed scoffed at him and I covered my mouth to hold in my startled gasp. My heart flew off its hinges and thrummed excitedly. I backed against the nearest wall and slid down it till I was seated.
"Georgie… you can't be falling in love with a girl you don't even know exists for sure or not. What else do you know about her?" George's eyes flashed in anger at Fred and he stormed out of the room, shoving past Fred. Fred followed after him, slamming the door shut behind him as he went. I stood up quickly, turning visible again and just stood there in shocked silence for a moment. A loud pop sounded behind me and I turned expecting to see Kreacher, but instead Fred was standing there, gaping at me. I gasped, startled, and invisified.
"Wait!" He called out, but I stayed invisible. After a few moments, he reached down and picked up the extendable ear they'd apparently forgotten and he quietly exited the room.
***Sorry for such a long wait for an update. I have been sooo busy with broken car, broken computer still, babysitting, working, etc... Plus I went a few days with writer's block after I watched Deathly Hollows part 2. I enjoyed the movie but I lost my focus on my story. I had to go back and re-read the beginning of book 5 and I rewatched the 5th movie as well. Anyways, Thank you everyone for all the wonderful reviews. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter as well. Thanks for Reading, Please Review!
