VOLUME II

CHAPTER TWO

Right before seven, we heard Molly's voice in the staircase, calling us to dinner. I stood up from the bed, and opened the door.

"See you down there, Adds," I heard Fred say behind me.

I frowned, but before I could say anything, the two of them Disapparated with a loud crack.

"Addy!" said a familiar voice.

I turned to see Ginny standing in the hallway.

"Hi, Gin!" I smiled.

I hugged her, happy to see her again. I noticed that she was definitely taller than the last time I saw her – but all the Weasleys were quite tall, after all, so it wasn't very surprising.

"Where are Fred and George?" she asked.

"They just –"

Suddenly, we heard yelling coming down from downstairs – definitely Molly's voice. Ginny glanced at me, clearly amused.

"Mum makes a fuss everytime they Apparate in the house – says they shouldn't 'abuse their new privilege' and all. In a way, I reckon she's right – it's not like walking down the stairs is hard, but at the same time, it's always quite funny to see her yell at them," she said.

I laughed, and we started going the stairs.

"So have you met everyone?" asked Ginny.

"I haven't met anyone at all, actually," I said.

"Well, I think Tonks is here tonight, so I can introduce you to her! You'll love her, I'm sure."

"That's what Fred and George told me."

"She's brilliant. And real funny, too. And she comes for dinner all the time – I think it's because she fancies Professor Lupin."

I glanced at Ginny, eyebrow raised.

"What? Really?"

"It's just the way she looks at him. You'll understand when you see it."

"And what about him? Does he fancy her too?"

Ginny shrugged as she pushed the door to the kitchen.

"I don't think he has a clue."

The kitchen was very well lit in comparison of the rest of the house. It was also very busy, as almost every seat at the long table was taken. There were a lot of familiar faces – Molly, Arthur, Bill, Ron, Hermione, Lupin – but also a few not so familiar ones. I only had time to wave to Professor Lupin when I felt Ginny grab my sleeve and lead me to a young woman with bright pink hair.

"Tonks," she said to the woman.

"Hi, Ginny!"

Tonks had a beautiful smile, and seemed very dynamic and welcoming – I instantly liked her.

"I just wanted to introduce you to Addy. She just got here today."

"Oh, hi! You're the twins' friend, right?"

I nodded, smiling in amusement.

"That's me! It's really nice to meet you."

"Likewise. I mean, you have to tell me how you do it."

"How I do what?" I asked, frowning.

"How you handle those two nutters," she chuckled.

I let out a laugh, and opened my mouth to answer but a voice interrupted me.

"Nutters?"

"Talking about us, by any chance?" said another voice.

I rolled my eyes as Fred and George came to stand on each side of me.

"We're curious, Addy," said Fred.

"How would you say you've 'handled us' all these years?"

I glanced at Tonks, who seemed quite amused by the situation. I shrugged.

"Three things: patience, getting good at pretending I listen to everything you say and… patience."

Tonks and Ginny laughed – I simply smirked, as the twins rolled their eyes.

"And which one are you dating?"

"This one," I said, pointing at George, grabbing his hand.

Tonks let out a whistle.

"You're quite fast at telling them apart."

"Years of practice," I replied, chuckling.

"I bet there's a trick," said Tonks with a smirk.

"There is, but I'll tell you when it's just the two of us – I don't want to offend anyone…"

Tonks nodded.

"What is that supposed to mean?!" exclaimed Fred beside me.

"Yeah, what is that supposed to mean?" repeated George, who looked a little pale.

"Nothing."

I only shrugged, and Tonks winked at me – it seemed like we really understood each other. I knew we would get along well – the twins and Ginny had been right.

"May I interrupt?" asked a voice behind me.

I turned around, and came face to face with none other than Sirius, Harry's godfather. He looked nothing like the pictures of him I had seen in the Daily Prophet two years ago – he looked so kind, and calm.

"Of course," I said with a smile. "You must be Sirius."

"In the flesh. And you must be Adelaide."

"Oh – Addy, please. It's very nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you."

"Only the good things, I hope."

I nodded, with a chuckle. He reminded me of Fred and George in a curious way – maybe it was the sparkle in his eyes, or something in his smile.

"Well, thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it."

"You're very welcome – anything I can do to help."

As he nodded once again and walked back to his seat, the only thing I could think of was – how did he ever end up in Azkaban ? It was so cruel. And even after that, he managed to keep his smile and his kindness. He was a truly remarkable man in my eyes.

Then, Molly asked us to sit down for dinner, and I took my place in front of the twins, between Ginny and Tonks, who I couldn't help but ask everything about her abilities and her career as an Auror.

I also finally asked Bill about his new job at Gringotts, and learned from Fred and George that he had made a new 'friend' there – the one and only Fleur Delacour. During dessert, Hermione came to sit with me to talk about her OWLS, and we only went back upstairs around ten.

After I had taken a shower and changed into my pyjamas, I visited the twins to tell them goodnight. They were both still dressed, looking over some slips for Weasley Wizard Wheezes.

"What's up with you?" asked Fred as I threw myself on George's bed, growling in pain.

"I feel awful. I ate way too much."

"Don't feel guilty for that, Adds," said George.

"I don't feel guilty at all – like, I will eat a hundred pancakes in one sitting and not feel ashamed – I mean I really feel awful. My belly hurts."

"Maybe a Puking Pastile would help."

I glared at Fred, who seemed to think he was being hilarious. I was going to tell him to shut it when George laid down beside me, kissing me softly.

"Does that make you feel better?" he asked.

"A bit. But I reckon another one would do the trick," I said with a smirk.

"You know what? I don't think I'll ever need a Puking Pastile in my life. I just need to look at you both when you're snogging, that's more than enough."

I bursted out laughing, and reached up to throw him the pillow beside me. He answered with a 'oi!' but I ignored him. I turned back to George, whose hand was now on my hip, stroking my skin softly. I grabbed his other hand and started playing with his fingers.

"You haven't told us about your parents, yet," he said softly.

I looked down at our connected hands – with everything that had happened today, I had almost forgotten about that part of my summer. I shrugged, honestly not knowing what to say.

"It went all right."

"All right?"

"Yeah. I dunno. It was… it was weird. Not really what I had pictured."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

I shrugged again.

"I guess I do. I just – I haven't really figured it out myself."

"We can help you, maybe" said Fred from the other bed.

I sat up on the bed, rubbing my eyes.

"He's right, Adds," softly said George. "We can help you figure it out."

I took a deep breath. I had tried so hard to push away the memory, just because it frightened and confused me – diving right back into it didn't seem like a good idea. But it was Fred and George. Maybe they really could help me. So I nodded, took a deep breath again, and told them everything.
