DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter, in fact I would have incredible writer's block and I wouldn't know what to do with myself!

So here I am, over my bout of writer's block and ready for you guys to have a blast with Acacia again, so here goes. This one is back at school in their fifth year. I know this is skipping ahead, but I can't help but make this one more mature than they are in first year. Enjoy!

Aspen POV

Needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were
Needed someone to understand my ups and downs
And there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Touching my emotions

I wanna stop
And thank you baby
I just wanna stop
And thank you baby
Whoa Oh Yeah

I woke up, shaking all over, not from the cold, but from fright. What I was frightened from, I can hardly tell you! But then I realized it. There was a silvery blonde woman in the room, standing by Acacia. She finally walked over to me and then pushed me. I opened my eyes even more and then quickly stood up. "Where is my niece?" she growled angrily. I shook even harder and then pointed to where Acacia was still sleeping peacefully. "Thank you." The hard woman stalked to where Acacia was and harshly woke her up.

"What are you doing?!" I shrieked, ripping her hand from Acacia's back. The woman turned her cold gray eyes toward me.

"Do you know who I am?" she growled. I silently shook my head, scared out of my wits.

"I am Narcissa Malfoy! Her aunt and her guardian! If you dare touch me again, I swear that I will curse you into oblivion. Do you understand?" I nodded and then took off down the stairs. I stopped in the common room, looking around to see if anyone was there. No one was. I decided that I was going to go up to the boys' dormitories and see if Fred was awake.

I ran up those stairs and opened the fifth year dorm. No one was awake up here either. I saw Fred and decided to sit on his bed. I sat down and then waited for him to wake up. It only took about a minute. He sat up and then looked at me, confusion written on his face. "What are you doing up here?" he asked sleepily.

"Narcissa Malfoy is in our dorm, she scares me so I came in here," I said in a rush.

"Narcissa Malfoy?! What the hell is she doing here?" Fred asked, jumping up. "We have to go back in there!" I noticed that he only slept in his pants, making me blush. I nodded and then ran full speed down the stairs. Fred was on my tail, almost making it past me. I made it back up the stairs but Fred couldn't get up.

"What are you doing?!" I asked, struggling not to laugh.

"I can't get up?" he pouted.

"Why not?"

"I have no idea! You're gonna have to do this yourself!"

"I am not going to face her again!"

"Then you're just letting Acacia face the wrath of her aunt!"

"Fine! But if I don't come back, I blame it on you!" Fred laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, drama queen!" I stuck my tongue out at him, rolled my eyes and then went to the fifth year's dormitories. I could hear yelling from within. It was a good thing that the others were out doing something. I opened the door, scared of what I would find there. I saw Acacia with tears running down her cheeks, but looking as defiant as ever and Narcissa with her wand held at her niece and a look of hatred on her face.

"What are you doing in here?!" Narcissa growled.

"I-I-I'm here to get Acacia!" I stammered as dignified as I could manage.

"You? A lowly half-blood is here to get my pure-blooded niece? Now I know what kind of scum my niece hangs around with!" Narcissa spat in my face. I almost cried, I was so scared. I had no idea how Acacia could stand this for the holidays!

"Aunt Narcissa! Stop! She's done nothing wrong!" Acacia screeched, stepping up.

"How dare you talk to me like that, child! You may be Bella's daughter, but you will never be able to live up to what she did to preserve our family's honor!"

"Honor? What honor is there in killing innocent people?!"

"Who ever said that they were innocent?"

"Them! Your sister may have been trying to protect your family's honor, but she will never be my mother!"

"You have her blood running through your veins!"

"I don't give a damn! Do you think that if she was my mother, she would have died willingly and left me here alone?!"

"Yes!"

"Well, that just proved everything I needed to hear!" Acacia grabbed my arm and then pulled me out of the room. We walked down the stairs. Fred gave me a sympathetic look. "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing? Coming into the room when she's there?!"

"I thought that I could help!"

"Help who?! Yourself getting killed?!"

"How do you deal with her?"

"I don't! Do you really think that I spend time at home?" Acacia turned away from me and started to sob. I put my arms around her hugged her, letting her tears fall into my hair. Fred just looked on, sitting down on a chair. I gave him a small smile and he smiled back. "W-Why did s-she h-have to c-come here? This is th-the one place th-that I go t-to get a-away from th-them!"

"It's fine! Just calm down. The rest of today can't get any worse!" I said soothingly. She scoffed harshly and then wiped at her tears.

"I'm going back upstairs. She's bound to be gone by now. Are you coming?" I nodded and then followed her up, leaving Fred alone.

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life?
Everything I did was such a bore
Everywhere I went you know
I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop
And thank you baby
I just wanna stop and thank you baby
Whoa, oh

We were all sitting down at breakfast; it was I, Fred, James, Raine, Chloe, Rose, Albus, Lily, Dominique, Roxanne and Hugo. It was loud, considering most of the Weasley family was here. Acacia was nowhere to be found, James was looking for her, and maybe he really did care what she thought. Fred was cracking a joke that no one thought was funny. I rolled my eyes at him and he cracked a smile. He pulled me away from the table again and then stopped when we were at the far corner.

"You know, people are going to assume that something is going on between us soon," I sneered, smiling at him. He laughed.

"Let them talk," he said good-naturedly. Did he understand how much that made the butterflies in my stomach flutter? I decided not.

"So, what are we talking about?"

"Acacia's not here."

"Thank you captain obvious!"

"I'm worried about her, she hasn't been the same!"

"What do you want her to do? Crack jokes when her aunt just came and basically threatened to take her away!"

"Her aunt can't do that!"

"Yes she can. Narcissa is her guardian!" Fred shook his head and fell silent. I could feel the eyes of everyone in the room on us so I decided to give them a little taste of what I could come up with. I planted my lips on top of Fred's and kissed him. Fred resisted for a minute, but then gave in. We pulled away and I gave him a smile.

"What was that for, Aspen?" he asked, smiling.

"Now we've given them something to talk about other than Acacia going missing," I said matter-of-factly. Fred let out a ringing laugh, causing me to laugh too.

"I always knew you were the smart one!" he said jokingly. I pouted but then smiled when he threw his arms around me. We walked back to the Gryffindor table like that, me beaming and Fred laughing.

We were greeted by the shocked looks of Fred's family members. James had a half smile on his lips, Raine was completely shocked as was Chloe, Dominique was laughing, Albus was nodding, Rose was almost cheering, Lily and Roxanne looked like they were barely able to contain their looks of surprise, and Hugo wasn't paying any attention. "I always knew it was going to happen!" James said cheerfully.

"Really? Because I didn't!" Fred said, pulling me down to sit next to him. I smiled up at him and he smiled back.

"Then you must be blind, Fredward! You two were always meant for each other!" Rose teased. Fred blushed and I laughed, I had never seen him blush before.

"I'm going to go find Acacia, anyone want to come with me?" I asked, looking at Fred as I stood up.

"Yeah, I'll come," he sighed.

"Don't get into any trouble you two!" James teased, bringing another round of laughter from the rest of us.

"Oh, ha ha, you're one to talk James!" Fred countered as we walked away.

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me there is you and there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop
And thank you baby
I just wanna stop
And thank you baby
Oh, whoa, oh

We walked into the Gryffindor common room, spying Acacia right away. She was sitting down in front of the fire, not paying attention to anything. I sat down next to her. "Hey, what are you doing? We're all worried about you," I said calmly.

"I can't go down there. Everyone knows!" she said distractedly.

"Everyone knows what?" Fred asked, confusion highlighting his voice.

"Everyone knows that that bitch is my aunt!"

"So what? They're not gonna say anything!" I said looking at Fred to get his input. He nodded feverishly and then looked away. "Please come down with us. You need to eat something!"

"Fine. I'll come down. But if James is down there with his stupid girlfriend, I'm out of there!" she said, making a deal with the both of us.

"All right. As long as you come down!" Acacia nodded, stood up with us and then made her way down.

Right at the boarderline
That's where I'm gonna wait, for you
I'll be lookin out, night n'day
Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay
I can't go any further then this
I want you so bad it's my only wish
I can't go any further then this
I want you so bad it's my only wish

Let's walk the bridge, to the other side
Just you and I (just you and I)
I will fly, fly the skies, for you and I (for you and I)
I will try, until I die, for you and I, for you and I, for for for you and I,
For for for you and I, for for you and I, for you and I

When we got to the Great Hall, I looked around to see if James and Raine were anywhere to be found. James was sitting down at the table, but Raine wasn't to be found. Which was a good thing, it meant that Acacia would think about sitting and eating. James leaned across the table to talk to the three of us. "So, Acacia, have you heard about these two?" James asked, throwing us a smile.

"No, no I have not. What about these two?" she asked curtly.

"They're going out!"

"What?! There is no way that these two are going out!"

"Well, believe it sister!" James said. Acacia looked at us with unbelieving eyes. I nodded slowly, worried about what she would say. She decided not to say anything and turned away from us.

I could hear Fred humming something. I looked at him and smiled. "What are you humming?" I asked. He smiled and then sang a little bit of it.

"How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you"

I smiled and then kissed him on the lips again, realizing how sweet they were and wondering how I had managed to live without this for so long.

So there you go. I hope you liked it! I will definitely be continuing this one! I hope this was a good view on the older Acacia, Aspen, Fred, James and Raine! Remember, read and review!
