A hand gently shook my shoulder. "Come on love, wake up."
"Too early." I stretched and rolled over.
The voice laughed and I smiled.
"Love, you've been asleep for a week." He leaned down and nuzzled my ear with his nose. I giggled and opened my eyes.
"A week?"
"Yep." He stood back up. "Do you feel better?"
I nodded and stretched again. He offered me his hand.
"Don't worry, it was Ginny and Hermione that changed your clothes."
I laughed. "I just woke up, that thought hadn't even crossed my mind yet." I took his hand and he jerked it slightly so I was standing up. I wobbled slightly and he reached his arm around my waist to balance me.
"No falling over now." He laughed in my ear. "Downstairs with you. Its time to eat. Mum's been cooking up a storm all morning figuring it was about time for you to wake up."
"She's awake." George appeared on my other side, his arm slid easily around my shoulders.
We waked downstairs.
"Oh, deary you are awake. Good good." Mrs. Weasly had the kitchen bustling. "And you already have them both attached to you. It didn't take long." she laughed, "Sit, eat." she ordered.
After I ate Fred and George grabbed my trunk and led me out of the burrow.
"You're staying at our place for a while. We have an extra room."
I gave them a look. "You sure it's ok?"
"Why not love. Come hang out with us at the shop, especially casue you'll have to leave for school, then we won't see you forever." Fred whined.
I laughed and pushed him away. "Oh so tragic?"
"Yes so tragic." the twins said together. "Last year we at least got to spend the first part of the year at school this year. But this year Ginny gets to see you all the time and we can't."
"Ok, ok. Jeez, let's go." I submitted to their jerking arms. They each grabbed a hold of my hands and disapparated, taking me with them.
In the next moment we were at their shop.
"Check out the window display." George released my hand.
I walked out the door to read the large sign. "Why are you worried about You-know-who. When you should be worrying about You-no-poo."
I started laughing and Fred led me back inside.
"You like it?" Fred asked.
"Its perfect." I grinned.
He leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Come check out all the new stuff." he laughed.
He led me through all the bins, showing me all their new inventions. We were laughing when a customer walked in. Fred let go of my hand to go to work with them giving me a wink. I spent the next few days helping them sell things to customers. Most were a large array of Hogwarts students. It was rather interesting to see the difference in how they entered the shop. The paranoid Slytherin, hoping no one would see them in a store owned by a Gryffindor family. The Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws that poked around the bins, reluctantly.
After 4 days Dumbledore walked in. "Good evening Sammay, there is something we need to talk about."
I leaned against one of the bins. "So...which is it? Switch schools? Special classes? Errand?"
"The first one." He told me plainly.
Fred and George looked up.
"I'm running away again? Terrific." I glared down at one of the bins in front of me and absent mindedly started to organize it. "That really irritates me, especially after whats happened in the last two years." I was surprised that he seemed unworried by the fact that the twins were listening. "Every time I do I leave people behind people who could get hurt while I'm gone."
"That may be true, but it saves yours and Harry's life, and thus it saves everyone else."
"It still irritates me. Where are you sending me this time."
"America actually. I'm sure you've heard of Area 51? Well it is actually a school. That will be the safest place for you. This time the mail won't be censored so you may send letters to people here. Just keep all order information out of it."
"You got it." I agreed grudgingly.
"Wait... You're going to another school AGAIN?" Fred roared. "Why does she have to leave. The safest place to be is Hogwarts."
"Not for her it isn't."
"Why does she have to run away?"
"Because of who she is."
"What do you mean?"
"Any chances of listening devices in here?"
"nothing except the ones we put there." George said, eager for information. I looked desperately between the faces. I hadn't expected Dumbledore to tell them.
"She is Harry's twin sister. Simple as that. Now we shall be leaving." He grabbed my arm with a blackened, shriveled hand and we dissapparated.
