I groaned as i sat up in my room to see two ginger boys looking at the photos pinned everywhere. "Find anything?" I raised my eyebrow and winced at the pain. "How did you get in?" I frowned as i looked around. "A slytherin" one of them said. "And you're still here because?"
"We wanted to make sure you woke up"
"What was that about?" The other turned around as i rubbed my neck. "James Riggs? He has some sort of curse so if he gets mad he snaps"
"And that meant that he chokes you until you pass out?"
"Yep"
I stared at them for a little bit. "I'm sorry who the hell are you? I mean i know you're the ones who did the fireworks in the exams but?"
"I'm Fred Weasly"
"And I'm George" I squinted my eyes at them. "You're lying"
They frowned. "How the hell did you know that?"
"I've lied enough to tell"
"You're the dog girl. The one that helped Umbridge"
"Yeah. Draco threatened that either i help or Beast goes, so"
"What went on in that office?"
"Nothing. Ron told me off for letting Hermione go and i notice sweets in his pocket which i suppose he got from you?" They look at each other with grins and back to me. "Yep. So i saw the sweets and let everyone eat them but me and i pretended to chase them. Then i warned Weasly that i'd kill him if Hermione got hurt and let them go" I shrugged and winced again as i sat up properly. One of them frowned and pointed their wand at me before muttering a spell. "Mother-!" I growled as the bones fixed.
I looked down at my arms and frowned. "Who's hoodie is this?"
"Mine" One of them said again. I frowned and stood up. "You're massive" I chuckled as the hoodies rim was at my knees. "Granger is it?"
"Yes"
I looked to the little box in the corner "Did you go through that?"
They went silent with slight smirks. I went up to it and pulled the little book out. "What month is it?"
"October?"
"Oh shit i forgot her birthday" I giggled. "You aren't twins?"
"My birthday's on New Year's Day"
"So you turn the right age at the start of the year?"
"Yep. I just tell people we're twins so they'll bugger off and leave me alone. We also say that Hermione's older because she acts more like the big sister"
I went through my cupboard and dragged out a little wooden box like the one Draco used. "What's that?"
"Uh one of those recording things. I was going to give it to Hermione for our birthday but since i forgot i didn't"
"What's the recording?"
"Us singing from when we were younger. I had something else as well"
"Like this?" Fred said as he pulled out a blue box from his pocket. "Why- you know what i don't care" I shook my head when he chucked it over. I unclipped it and lifted the lid. I smiled as some lines made up a little show of from where we were younger and happy together.
"There isn't sound?"
"That's why there are two" I smiled and re-opened them at the same time. The twins watched with grins. "That's cool"
I closed my eyes and dragged a string on light from my head and put it in the box. "Every happy memory" I said before snapping it closed. I got a piece of paper and wrote happy late birthday and turned to the twins. "Can you give this to her? and tell her that they have to be opened at the same time?"
"Sure" i chucked both of the box's over and they each caught one. I then went up and gave them the note.
I backed up to the door as the frowned at me. "Can i have my-"
"Nope" I grinned. "But it's mine" George pouted. "Not anymore" I chuckled. "Give it back" He stepped forward and i stepped back with a grin. "How are you this comfortable playing this type of game when you've known us for about half an hour?"
"Because... I don't know" I shrugged before dashing out of the door. "Hey!" I ran out of the painting and down the hall. "Give it back!" I looked behind me and sped up as they chased me. "Hey Rile- Talk later then" Harry said as i dashed past him. I let out a small laugh as i heard their shouts. "Granger!" Draco shouted as i crashed into him and tumbled on the floor. "Sorry" I giggled before getting up with a shriek. "Granger!" The twins shouted as i ran to the staircase. The one in front moved just before i got there and i jumped up to the next one before they could catch me. "How do you have so much energy!?" They shouted as they bent over and breathed. "This belongs to me until you get it back!" I grinned. They shook their heads with smirks as i sat on the stairs. "What on earth?" One of the painting said. I just smiled at him and looked back as the twins left shaking their heads. I climbed down the stairs and peeked around the corner.
I saw them in the quad giving the boxes to Hermione so i listened in.
"Open these at the same time. It's from Riley as a late birthday present because she forgot"
"She forgot our birthday?" Hermione giggled. "You know, your sister is a real piece of work" They sighed. "Oh god what did she do?"
"So we found her being strangled and took her to bed and i gave her my hoodie because she was shaking-"
"Who was strangling her?"
"Some Riggs guy"
"Oh, yeah they torment each other all the time"
"Can i continue?" George raised his eyebrow at her and she nodded. "Anyway, when i asked for my hoodie back she bolted and we were chasing her for 15 minutes and she got away. The point is she stole my hoodie and i want it back" George crossed his arms and pouted. "How does she have so much energy? She wasn't even sweating"
"I don't know, she's a strange girl" she shook her head with a smile as Ron laughed his head off.
I left them without them realizing and went down to Hagrid's hut to see Beast. I knocked on the door and heard barking and hushes. When Hagrid came out Beast barged past wagging his tale wildly. I scratched his ear which made his leg thump and smiled. "What happened to his head?" I frowned as the bandages held down one ear. "He ran into a tree which set him back a bit and cut his head and ear. He can't stand for too long either before he collapses"
"Aw. Well at least he can" I smiled as he layed down. "Is it ok to take him back?"
"Of course, he's your dog" Hagrid nodded. "I used this to help him stand. I'd use it if i were you for if he collapses"
"Ok" He brought out a little homemade harness and slipped it around him. "That's adorable" I giggled. "Thank you, Hagrid" I smiled as i grabbed the loop to help the dog up. "You're very welcome Riley"
