Chapter Seven: The Twins!
It was during the first days of November that Faye went up to the Hospital Wing on order of Professor McGonagall, she had a suspicion that she wanted confirmed. After having been up there for half hour on two different occasions on the first couple of days, Faye was diagnosed as being Bipolar, not something she was very happy about.
"I'm really Bipolar Professor McGonagall?"
"Yes I'm afraid so dear, don't worry though, it won't affect you too much and we can whip up a potion to help make you stable. However, I must ask, will you agree to come to a meeting with myself and Professor Dumbledore?"
"What's it for?"
"It won't be just yet, but it will be about your past with the muggles, we want to know what's gone on. Firstly though, we want you to be comfortable."
"I don't want to talk about it Professor. I have to go, I'm late for lesson." With that, Faye stood up and walked stiffly out of the room.
"Miss Potter, kindly pay attention in my CLASS!" shouted Snape. He had been speaking normally but had needed to shout in the end to bring Faye from her thoughts, all lesson she'd been doing this.
"Wha?"
"10 points from Gryffindor have now been took in total. Are you pleased with yourself?"
"Yeah yeah"
"PAY ATTENTION!"
"AH!" shrieked Faye now having been properly brought from her thoughts. The Slytherins were all laughing, by now the whole school knew Faye was Bipolar which had pissed her off to begin with but now she didn't care. She felt terrible for the way she'd reacted to Professor McGonagall and wanted to apologize.
"Sorry Professor, I-I .. s-sorry." Faye's stutter began to return and so to ignore it she put her head down and began to write more notes on the different way that Potions could be contaminated … in other words, Neville contaminated his Potion the previous lesson and made a poison that Snape recognized immediately.
"Hm. Miss Potter you will see me after the lesson, no questions asked!"
Faye nodded glumly and went back to her work.
Once the lesson was finished, Faye went up to Snape. He reached into a draw, pulled out a vial and gave it to her.
"Professor McGonagall requested I make you this, for your … ah … condition shall we say."
"Why do you hate me?"
Snape went silent and looked at Faye shocked as she took the vial off of him.
"Pardon Miss Potter?"
"Why do you hate me? You loath Harry but hate me?"
"You're too much like your parents."
"Is that a bad thing? I never met them."
"Of course you did foolish girl, you simply were too young to remember."
"I'm not sorry I snapped the first day I was in your lessons."
"Oh?"
"You're a git and favor Slytherin all the time."
"But does it not make you work harder to prove yourself? Just think."
Faye went silent and then looked at Snape with wide eyes. His face the same as always but something in his eyes, was it … warmth?
"I'm not changing."
"I would not expect it. Now, get out of my class."
"Yes … Professor Snape, sir." Faye gave a small smile, downed the vial and left coughing slightly from the after taste.
It was at lunch when Harry, Ron and Hermoine saw Faye again, she looked like she was in a foul mood.
"What's up?"
"Ran into that damned weasle Fred, when I left Potions and he got me lost and I got spotted by Filtch so I got took to Professor Dumbledore." the sulky reply. Hermoine looked at Ron who looked at Harry.
"Want to say what happened?"
"Fine."
**Flashback**
Faye left Snape's class coughing lightly. She rounded a corner and walked into Fred, he smiled and she smiled awkwardly back. Something in his smile wasn't right, it was mischievous.
"What are y-you up to?"
"Heh. Come with me m'dear!" Fred grabbed hold of Faye's hand and began dragging her off in all random directions until she ended up in some place she'd never been before.
"Where are we F-fred!"
"YOU" Fred began dramatically "have 5 minutes to hide from Filtch, if he catches you, you don't get Beauty back!" then he disappeared.
Faye sighed and reached out with her mind for Beauty. It was rare she did this as it genuinely hurt but if that damned weasle had her baby it was work all the pain to save her. Much to her aggravation she located Beauty, fast asleep on the top of the rafters in McGonagall's lesson.
"Damn you Fred!" Faye whispered and then took off.
She wandered around the corridors quietly and cautiously in case Filtch did appear but she had a feeling he wouldn't. If Fred had been yanking her leg on the bit with Beauty, who was to say he wasn't doing it now.
"When I find him … beyond dead."
Faye carried on walking for a while, occasionally she would ask a portrait if she was going in the right direction to get to Gryffindor Tower and so far so good it seemed until there weren't any portraits to ask.
"Damn, w-w-where am I?"
"My, my, aren't we in trouble."
Faye whirled around and came face to face with Filtch. She glared before taking a step back.
"W-where am I?"
"Heh, third floor corridor. Off to the Head we go."
"B-but it was an a-accident!"
"Sure. LIAR! You're like the rest of 'em trying to get into there. Get moving."
And so Faye was taken to the heads office. She zoned out during the little argument that ensanered upon her arrival between Professor Dumbledore and Filtch as she wasn't particularly interested.
"Faye?"
"Hm? Yes Professor?"
"Why were you at the third floor corridor?"
"Fred was messing about and got me lost, then I got more lost and ended up there s-sir."
"Ah, I see. Come, sit with me?"
"uh o-okay."
"I daresay there is something upon your mind?"
"W-well y-yes."
"Would you care to speak of it?"
"… P-please?"
"Go forth then child."
"Well, sir, why was I left at an orphanage and not sent to Harry's?"
"Ah a good question. We believed if we sent you there a week after the timly arrival of Harry then surely they would get enraged."
"So, why s-send me to an orphanage instead?"
"For the same reason we sent Harry to your Aunt and Uncle. To protect you."
"R-right."
"Faye?"
"Yes s-sir?"
"Would you tell me about the muggles?"
"T-they hurt me."
Dumbledore gave a soft smile and walked over to Faye to give a small hug. He sat on the floor much like a child wood and waited for her to continue.
"T-the men w-would d-do bad things."
"Such as?"
"U-use me. T-to r-release. T-they called m-m-me d-devil spaw-wn. S-said it wouldn't h-hurt them."
"What about the Women?"
"T-they b-beat me."
"Anything else?"
"O-other ch-children would h-hit me and b-be mean t-to m-me. So I r-ran away from e-everyone."
"No need to continue my dear. Come here."
Faye did as she was told and sat in Dumbledore's lap, he rocked her back and forth comfortingly before standing and picking her up. She looked up at him with weepy eyes.
"Shush child, I'll take you to your dormitory to rest." Faye nodded and then everything went black.
**Flashback**
Faye looked at her trio of friends. Hermoine was teary, Ron looked horrified. Harry looking angry and then she froze. Behind him stood Fred and George with looks of pure guilt and horror on their faces. Her eyes went wide and without a moment's hesitation, Faye tore from the great hall and straight to safety.
Of course, Faye's version of safety happened to be the girls toilets that were usually not in use due to their resident ghost; Moaning Mertyle. After their first encounter, the pair found they were able to get along with each other pretty well and both of them had a deep hate for Peeves.
When Faye reached Mertyle's bathroom she found it empty, which was what she had been hoping for. Slowly she sunk to the floor and began to cry. Usually she didn't feel this messed up, but then again, usually she hadn't told a grand total of 6 people all about her past and she hadn't been given the horrible realization that she was Bipolar.
Upset did not do Faye justice at that point in time, in fact she stayed crying for a good couple of hours, so much so that she fell asleep in all actuality and kept having horrific dreams of the bad things that the muggles had done to her. To make it worse, it was in great detail that her dreams occurred, nothing left out of place, exactly as if it was happening again.
Faye shot up screaming and crying. Mertyle was floating opposite her looking quite scared, next to her was George, Fred and Percy, the only three she'd been able to find for her friend at the time. Faye let out a whimper when Percy moved forward and a full on wail when Fred tried.
"Now now Faye, it's quite alright" Percy began only to be cut of by a loud sob.
"I'm sorry for earlier, it was a joke, I-" Fred never got to finish because Faye let out a louder sob and broke down. George pointed at the door and both brothers left looking confused.
"Hey, c'mere Faye."
George sat down and opened his arms waiting for her to move. When she didn't, he scooted closer and pulled her into his arms, she clutched to him crying.
"I heard your story in the hall, a lot of the Gryffindors did. McGonagall pulled every single Gryffindor out of class, she had a massive shout at us all for having been so bloody nosey and threatened that if a word of your conversation got leaked she'd put everyone to the job of cleaning up the entire great hall's dishes from lunch and dinner for a month."
Faye gave a hiccup of laughter. She could just imagine McGonagall doing that, her eyes wide and furious, nostrils flaring and a look that could freeze anyone.
"Yeah, was well scary. Tell you what though, I've never seen Ron look like he would rather spend a year cleaning Snape's shoes than then."
"You're l-lying."
"No I mean it! Now c'mere and lemme see that pretty face." George tilted Faye's head up to look at her.
Faye froze. You know how in the movies just before the guy goes to kiss the girl he looks into her eyes, that's what George was doing and all Faye could think of was when he did that last time and he kissed her.
"G-george?" she whispered uncertainly looking at him.
Before either could do anything, there was a loud knock at the door followed quite quickly by Fred's voice. "You pair alright in there?"
"Yeah, we're coming out now." was George's reply. Faye looked away and shed a few quick tears. When she looked back, George picked her up and placed her gently on her feet before taking her hand and leading her out.
"Finally!" said Fred who looked relieved. "I thought you were gunna leave me here with Percy!"
"Naah!" laughed George, Fred began to laugh too, well he did until he caught sight of Faye's evil glare which she shot at him for the Beauty remark and interrupting her from getting a kiss.
Fred gulped and they walked off in a relatively talkative mood and down to the great hall where Faye scuttled off to sit by Harry and to eat her food.
That night Faye sat in the common room at well past midnight staring out of the window at the skies overhead. Beauty lay curled up on one of the armchairs peacefully sleeping, the snake was beginning to get so lazy and was sleeping an awful lot but she had been reassured by Lee when he'd had a look, that Beauty was fine.
Faye gave a soft sigh and turned around to go get Beauty and to go to bed. She resisted the urge to shriek when she turned around however as before her was George in only a pair of shorts. Her eyes went wide and he shot her a cheeky grin.
"w-w-wha!"
"Shh! I thought you might still be awake. I heard some of the girls in your year saying you spend most the night down here then sleep a little before waking up upset and coming back down."
"w-w-why're y-you-"
"Down here? Well I was hoping to ask you something."
"g-go on."
"C'mere then"
George sat on one of the comfy armchairs by the fire and looked at her, waiting patiently. Carefully in case it was a joke, Faye walked over and was suddenly pulled into George's lap before she could get to the armchair next to him.
Blushing she looked away and heard George chuckle.
"Faye?"
"Y-yeah?"
"Will you let me show you that Wizards aren't always as bad as muggles?"
"H-huh?"
"Go out with me?"
"I c-c-can't. I p-promised Naanaa I wo-wouldn't t-till I was 12."
"Who's Naanaa?"
"The l-lady who t-took me I-in off the streets."
"Well, can I give you a reason to go out with me next year then?"
"S-sure?"
George took Faye's face gently in his hands and titled her head up, she looked at him and closed her eyes slowly. George leaned in and gently pressed his lips to hers, Faye smiled and wrapped her arms shakily around George's waist. He pulled her close and she felt as if she was melting. When he eventually pulled away so they could breathe, Faye rested her head into his chest.
"Shh, I'll keep you safe Faye. Go to sleep okay?"
"Mmmm."
AAaaaaaand that's the end of this chapter. I know it's a bit soppy and they might seem out of character but I thought it was cute cause the bit of writing I had found was George and some girl so I made it George and Faye and gave you the reason for her being Bipolar …. the muggles …
