Say Fred,

It's going to be an exciting year, isn't it?

Another year older, another year wiser right? I do wonder what this year has in store for us. You never know what to expect when it comes to Hogwarts. I'm just glad to be back at school again, to feel as if I belong again. Only two more days until we are going to be back on the train; I simply can't wait.

The days I get to spend with you will help me with my nerves… to a degree at least. There are some things that actually are more nerve-racking here than there will be when heading back to school; if you can believe it.

But that's alright. Being around George, and you, will keep my mind occupied until the time comes.

Yours truly,

Ella

P.S. Do you find it odd that we write to one another when under the same roof?

To the twins, the school year started just a few days sooner. They wanted to get a head start on a general idea for their year; whom to prank, whom to sell to and what to sell to the students of the school. They are young sales-men, it's rather charming.

Ella woke a few hours later, after going back to bed; along with the younger brunette she shared a room with. She once again ran her fingers through her soft locks and she allowed her eyes to focus on the now brightly lit room. After allowing her eyes to adjust, she reached above her head to stretch out the muscles in her arms and twisted her torso around to loosen the muscles in her back and waist. She tossed the quilt off her legs and stood from the bed. The fair skinned girl locked her knees as she stretched her legs before bending down to put on her booties again. Her Deep green eyes glanced over at the other person still in the room. Noting that the younger girl was still asleep, Ella took light steps as she exited the room as quietly as she could.

Carefully her long legs guided her down the spiral steps to the final floor, the whole house smelling of rich food. "Well, look who's still alive," said one of the twins from the living room sofa "Good to see you're still with the living." The other added, as the two stood from their spots. All Ella could do was flash a smile at them; she mind was still too tired to think at the moment. "Looks as if she still has s bit more waking up to do," Fred said, stepping in front of his taller brother "Mum will have breakfast ready soon, think you'll be to tired to eat?" he asked her.

The corners of her lips curled upwards as she shook her head, silently saying no. She would never pass up a meal if it was Molly cooking; she was a much better cook than her own mother was. By now, with the few times she has spend at the Weasley house hold, she has gotten use to the organized mess of the family; something she was quite comfortable in. Today she, along with Harry and Hermione, is going to be meeting the other Weasley men for the first time. It must be why it was taking Molly longer than usual to cook breakfast.

Not long after Ella had reached the ground level, the second brunette could be heard coming down. Ella carefully stepped out of the way, so the younger female could get the rest of the way down the stairs, as she maneuvered her way next to the identical males. The two boys instinctively took a step over, making room for her to sit with them. At once, the three sat down on the rather small sofa together; out of reflex, Ella pulled her legs up to her chest and leaned against the boy she was sitting next to, George. The three sat in silence as they watched the rest of the family wonder around the house. It wasn't long before the house was filled with a few more Weasley Family members.

It felt like days before any of the three moved, though really was just over an hour. The shorter of the twins stood and looked back at his brother and the girl leaning against him. "Come on," He said, "Minus well keep ourselves busy and out of the way until breakfast." He finished with a smile as he headed for the stairs. The second boy got up as well, making Ella stand up beside him. "Lets get dressed." He said, not looking back at her as he followed his twin up the steps.

Ella waited just a moment before also following up the steps. She entered Ginny's room before closing the door behind her then digging through her trunk for something easy to wear. The first time she had arrived and stayed at the Burrow, the twins made it clear to her that she didn't need to try to impress anyone by tossing out her overly frilly clothes her first night. After dressing, brushing her hair and teeth, she once again went down the stairs and was met by the twins, brooms in hand. "Practicing, I take it." Ella said when Fred handed her hers. "Need to loosen up the muscles in the arms if we are going to have a good year." Fred said, carelessly tossing an arm around the brunette's shoulders while walking with her out of the house, closely following George.

Ella walked with the boys out of Molly's garden and out into the field before taking off into the Air. George was the first to sore up, followed by Ella. Fred, on the other hand, remained grounded. He stood in his place and watched the two who were already in the air, sore around the open air. He had already noticed and noted at how elegantly Ella rode when compared to him or his brother, though watching her now, again, just refreshed his memory. After a few long moments of watching the two fly, he looked away and went to find the materials that he volunteered to get for practice.

It took him only a short minute to pull out the chest from its hiding place. Kneeling down he opened the chest to pull out the three bats; holding one above his head for his brother to take from him. While holding the other two beater bats in his hand, he leaned back slightly and flicked the locks open that were holding the two bludgers in their place. The two jinxed balls flew into the air and took off in two different directions, signaling him to get on his broom and join the two other Quittage players. Fred hovered next to his female friend, tossing her the spare bat while to avoid being hit by one of the bludgers that zoomed just past his head. Ella flashed a quick smile at him before shooting off toward the bludger that was trying to fly away. Fred watched the Hufflepuff beater just a moment longer then turned to went to fly with his brother.

With the three of them being beaters, though in two separate houses, was how the managed to get acquainted with one another. It was a day, just over two years ago when classes were only scheduled for half the day. Oliver wood and Cedric Diggory had gotten their practice schedules mixed up, and simply decided to have both teams practice together a day. It was then when the twins found out that even small people can be fierce competition by having Ella knock both of them off their brooms within the first hour. Talk about getting two birds with one stone.

Only an hour or so passed before Molly came out and called the three in for breakfast. The three looked at one another, George spoke first "I'll Save you two some Food, if you pack up the gear." He said as he tossed his bat over to Ella. "Alright, I'll get the chest ready." Fred added with a half nod as him and his brother carefully landed. Ella took the chance to look for the two jinxed balls. The twins walked to the house together, though only the taller one entered. "Alright, Ella; I'm ready!" the other called.

Having the house full of laughter, noise and over all a loving feeling is something I long for. Watching the way everyone interacts with one another, talks to one another, and looks at one another. Something I want but feel as if I don't fit in with, due to a different upbringing.

The rest of the way went by quickly, as the sun as had everyone in the house was once again crowded around the wooden table, finishing up their last meal of the day. The room started to die down, everyone starting to go their different ways. The twins stood and signaled Ella to follow while the remaining persons were distracted by a story from Bill. Carefully and quietly Ella made her way up the squeaking steeps back into the boy's room, George shut the door after she entered. The young girl took her place on Fred's bed while Fred himself resumed his spot of leaning against his desk and George lay across his own bed. "I over heard Charlie talking about this year," he said, looking at his standing twin. "When I was saved breakfast for you two."

"What's going to be special with this year?" Fred asked, glancing at his mirror image.

"The Tri-wizard Tournament," George said as he sat up and looked between the two other people in the room.

"It's being held this year?" Fred asked, almost unbelieving his brother.

"I heard the same thing, over heard Bill when I got out of the shower." Ella added, looking at Fred.

"So no Quittage?" Fred asked.

"Doubt it," Said George, shaking his head.

"What two other schools are coming to Hogwarts then?" Ella asked, getting the boy's attention. "Aren't there Wizerding schools in almost all countries?"

"I'd say that they'd stick to one's closest to Hogwarts." George said. "because there's a reason it doesn't come around often."

"I see." Ella said with a faint nod.

The Three talked into the night, about various subjects, disregarding that they have to take a train early the next morning. Every so often the three would adjust their places throughout the room, depending on the situation or the conversation. Currently, the three sat on George's bed, using only a single candle for light, to fool Molly and Arthur into thinking they were asleep. Their voices were hushed as they spoke.

Ella's eyes slowly became heavier and heavier as the minutes passed, as well as getting chillier and chillier. She pulled her knees to her chest and leaned against the nearest object for warmth, Fred, while pulling the loose quilt over her shoulders. She sat quietly and listened to the two talking about what merchandise and pranks they are going to try to set up within the first few weeks of school, and then restock during the Hogsmaid trips. To most people, even those within their own family, find it boring to listen to the twins as they plan out everything. Though, to Ella, they were like business men already. The two were almost to smart for their own good.

"It's getting late." Ella said, while yawning. She maneuvered her way around Fred and off of the bed before turning and looking back at the two. "And we have a long day tomorrow, so we should be getting to bed." She said as she headed for the door. Fred had followed her off the bed, while George managed to reclaim his by lying back and spreading out across it. Fred walk to the door just as Ella exited, slowly choosing the spots to place her feet so the floorboards wouldn't squeak. "Girls get first take on shower, so try and wake up early." Fred said in a deep whisper as he tried to focus his eyes on the moving figure that headed to Ginny's room. "I'll Try." She managed to say back to him.

Ella and Fred stood in the separate doorways and looked at one another. They could hardly see one another, but knew where the other was. "Good night." Ella said as she turned and started to shut the door. " 'Night." Fred said as he shut his.
