Chapter 4: Helping the Enemy

'' You have a twin '' I said yet it felt more like a question to me, Fred nodded, making me hit him in the shoulder. '' And you couldn't mention any of this in your letters '' the second those words where out of my mouth, they made me feel guilty, I too was hiding information from him.

Before I had time, to say anything Fred was dragging me, his twin and litter sister following close behind us, I stayed quite and hide behind Fred, it's not that I was scared, just that I didn't want to be spotted by father's friends, that wouldn't end very good. Fred stopped in front of a tent and rushed inside, I followed close behind him.

Two other older red heads where in the same tent, one of them had a nasty cut in his arm, they didn't bother looking up when we came in. George I assumed rushed into the bathroom. Fred turned toward me and gently grabbed my arm.

When Fred had finished bandaging my right arm, three teenagers rushed in followed by who I assumed was Fred's father. They looked kind of startled, one of the boys was Fred's brother the other boy must have been a friend, and the girl was probably someone's girlfriend.

'' Did you get them, Dad? '' said the oldest boy sharply. They where probably gone by now. '' The person who conjured the Mark? ''

'' They conjured the mark, '' I all but yelled, every one stopped talking and turned toward me, I could feel the blush growing in my face. '' I . . . I - ''

'' Who's this? '' one of Fred's siblings said, before I could answer the question Fred stepped in front of me. '' This is Venus Night '' they started talking about a wand and an elf; they lost me after something about elf rights.

I turned toward Fred, '' I think I should leave '' I said and his smile fell, I didn't want to leave but it was going to be a long walk to the manor, because I didn't think my oh so kind family would have waited for me, or much less noticed my absences.

'' Do you have to go, I mean you could stay with us for the rest of the summer '' he said, his smile grew wider '' my parents won't mind '' he added as an after thought.

Hum I could spend the rest of my summer in a household where only my brother and the house elf liked me or go to a house with a boy and actually meet nice people well that was a giver.

'' I would love to spend the rest of my summer with you '' I said and he smiled '' and your family of course '' I said blushing
