Alarmingly loud voices
George's POV
I awoke with a giant grin on my face. Nothing and no one could make my ridiculously happy mood falter. Everything was perfect the sky was bluer, the grass was greener, and I didn't care how cheesy my thoughts were.
"Someone's happy" Fred chirped, eyeing me with suspicion. "What's her name?" he teased.
"Huh, what? Who's name?" I laughed nervously.
"Mate I'm your twin brother, I know you too well." Fred paused and raised an eyebrow. I raised mine back. " What's the name of the girl you fancy, you plonker" Fred was clearly intent on interrogating me.
"There is no girl, I'm just excited about the joke shop"
"When have you ever been this excited about the joke shop? - Never."
" Okay, okay. There is a girl. And she's brilliant, but don't say anything."
"What's her name?"
"Not telling!" I taunted sounding like a three year old.
"Well, then give me one letter in her name?"
"Fred Leave it alone, please"
"Alright , have it your way then" Fred Beamed, I didn't like the glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Does our Best Friend know about this mystery girl?"
"No Fred, don't" I didn't want anyone to hear, Anna was fragile. No one can know yet.
"ANASTASIA!" Fred ran down to the 4th story of the burrow. "ANNA!"
"Yes?" Anastasia popped round the door frame , facing Fred and I. " What on earth are you shouting for? She quizzed.
"George is in love" Fred taunted.
"shut up" I muttered, glancing at Anna. Her smile was almost as big as mine was this morning.
"Oh really?" she laughed " So who is this lovely girl?"
"Yeah George" Fred and Anna both looked at me.
"Umm, well – I , umm" Oh God. What was I supposed to say? " I can't say much, but she's beautiful and well, I love her". I stared at my feet to cover up my embarrassment . My cheeks were on fire. Mustering the gryffindor spirit I gazed up at Anna. I could tell she was holding back from something. And then her lips moved to make the three words, that made me the happiest guy in the world. "I love you" She mouthed. Fred thankfully didn't see. Anastasia and I smiled wide, then Fred's eyes widened.
"You two! It's Anna! George and AN-" before Fred could finish his sentence, which was at an alarmingly loud volume, Anna muttered "Silencio" and with a flourish of her wand Fred became mute.
Anna dragged Fred and me into her room. " Fred" she whispered. "You can't say anything, well not yet anyway". We both smiled because Fred was silently shouting furiously.
"Sorry Fred, but we want this to work and if it doesn't it's going to make me being apart of the family difficult" Anna muttered a counter curse and Fred slumped into red armchair in the corner of her room.
"Why didn't you guys, tell me?" Fred said softly.
" Because it just happened, literally" Anna wrapped her arms around Fred.
"And you guys are a secret?" Fred questioned
"For now" I replied.
"FRED,GEORGE, ANASTASIA!" Molly Weasley's voice echoed through the house.
Anna rolled her eyes. The three of us raced down the stairs.
When we got to the bottom of the stairs, everyone was gathered in the living room, glancing curiously at one another.
"What's going on?" I asked.
Dad was the first to speak, " Ah, you three. This is Amelia Abernathy. Her Parents were taken by some Death eaters. So Molly and I, have offered for us to stay with us for a while."
I glanced anxiously at Fred and Anna. The house was already crowded enough people, it was practically bursting at the seams.
"Hang on, Isn't she a Slytherin?" Fred pressed.
"Fred!" Molly snapped "Her parents have been taken by death eaters"
"I thought her parents were death eaters!" Anna spoke without thinking,slight regret flashed over her eyes,but she knew she had a point.
"Yes, yes they were" Dad tried to diffuse the situation. "But they tried to leave and now they've been missing for days" Amelia sobbed. But the only people she was convincing was Mum and Dad.
"Anastasia" Mum's voice was unsure " Amelia will be staying in your room".
"What?! You're joking! The girl who has bullied and tormented me, since my first day at Hogwarts!"
"I'm sorry Anna" Amelia said in the most dramatic voice. " I just want a second chance to put things write" She sobbed loudly once more. I touched Anna's shoulder, hoping she would find some comfort. I knew this would be killing her.
"There there Amelia" Mum tried to comfort her. "Anna will show you the way to your room".
The Guest that won't go
Anastasia's POV
Amelia hopped off her chair and followed me up the stairs. When we reached the door, I opened it and she practically flung herself inside.
"Well,I suppose this will have to do. This house is such a dump." She muttered.
"WHAT did you say?" I was furious, how dare she insult the hospitality of the weasley's.
"Nothing, Anna"
"Only my friends call me Anna. It's Anastasia to you."
"Sure Anna. Oh, How's your Dad? Is he out of Azkaban yet? Oh no, sorry I forgot. He's dead isn't he. Such a shame, you never got to spend much time together."
It felt like someone had ripped out my guts. I wanted to scream. I wanted to say something that would make the pain go away. My head was close to exploding. The flash backs, the sympathy from others. I needed to get her out of the house, I needed Fred and George to help me.
"That hurt, well played" That's all I could manage to say. There was no point denying it.
"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?" Amelia screamed. "I JUST WANT ANOTHER CHANCE TO PROVE I'M DIFFERENT NOW". Amelia smiled , evil seeping into the corner of her eyes.
"What are you talking about?" What was She up to? My brain was buzzing with confusion.
"WHAT'S going on in here" Arthur Weasley burst through the door.
"She, she- she said my parents were probably dead. And that she hoped i'd end up like them" Amelia flung herself onto my bed. Whilst Arthur pulled me outside.
" Anna , I can't believe you"
"Arthur, I swear , I never said that, she set me up"
" I don't want to hear it. She's in the same situation you were in three years ago"
"I know but-"
"Please don't say anything else, I'm very disappointed in you"
I couldn't bare to listen to another word. I ran upstairs, burst into the twins room and flung my arms around George.
"What happened?" George said , rocking me me back and forth.
"She brought up my Dad. She said it in the cruellest way. AND THEN, she started screaming about "how could you" and told your Dad that I said her parents were dead and that she'd end up the same way. SO, now your Dad is furious with me. URGH I HATE HER." I flung myself onto one of the twins bed.
" I'm not even sure what you just said" Said George Utterly confused " but she brought up your Dad?"
"Yes" I choked
"You can share with Fred and I, can't she Fred?"
"Wouldn't want it any other way" Fred said darkly.
"Share what?"
"Our room, you're not staying in a room with that evil cow."
"Accio Anastasia's belongings" muttered Fred.
Before I could say a word. All my belongings flew through the door. Fred and Georges bedroom was in the attic,with a beautifully heigh ceiling.
"Thank yo-"
"Ready Fred?"
"Ready George"
They waved their wands in unison and a small staircase erupted in the corner of the room, spiralling upwards, a floor grew from the staircase spreading across and cutting half the height of the room. My Bed and furniture rose into the air , and settled on the new floor above us.
"That was bloody brilliant"
"Sounds like something Ron would say!" George teased. I pushed him playfully. He pulled me close and caressed my cheek,before slowly pressing his lips against mine. I tried to deepen the kiss, so he would know I was grateful.
"Not in front of me please" Fred interrupted.
"Sorry" I giggled. I wouldn't let Amelia get to me anymore. No one wanted her here, everyone would help me. Amelia had to go, before she caused any more trouble.
