Marie and I were in our dorms getting ready for the first Hogsmead trip of the year. Down in the common room the boys were waiting for us. A few moments later I heard a knock on the door. I slipped my shoes on and ran to the door. I grabbed the handle and swung it open and saw Hermione and Ginny right outside.

"Well, hello girlies," I said cheerfully. 

"George wanted to know if you are ready to go?" Ginny said.

"Just George or Fred too," Marie yelled from the bathroom.

"Well both of them but mostly George," Ginny giggled as they came into our room. 

"We are almost ready to go. Marie is just finishing up because Tommy is taking her on a date while we are there."

"Tommy Feilds? The Ravenclaw boy?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," Marie smiled as she walked out of the bathroom.

"He is a cutie," Ginny added.

"I know right," Marie said. 

"Just don't forget about the meeting in Hog's Head at 1," Hermione said as we all walked through the door, "Tommy is welcomed to come as well. Just no..."

"Slytherins," The three of us said in union.

"We know," I said as I closed the door behind me as the rest of them headed down the stairs to the common area.

"Finally!" I heard Rons voice take over. 

"Let's go," Fred said as him and Ron had already headed towards the door. Harry following behind them quickly as George waited for me. 

"Goodmorning Georgie," I said with a huge smile on my face.

"Morning Daisy," He said as we began to walk side by side. Everyone else walking a head of us as we walked out of the castle. Fred dropped back to walk with George and I as I was sandwiched in the middle of them.

"We read the book you check out." Fred said.

"We found it very helpful," George said.

"Let me guess, you two need me to brew it and test it out?" I asked as they ducked under a few branches.

"Smartie pants," Fred said.

"Sorry can't help it. It's in my blood," I teased. 

"But yest you are right. We need your help to brew the potion," George said as he slung his arm over my shoulder, "But you don't have to test it unless you don't want to."

"I'll ask around and see who I can get as testers," I said. Knowing well enough that I do not wnt to be a test dumby for the twins even though I always had been.

The first time they successfully produced a faiting fancy I was the first test dumby while I didn't realize it for a while. I had been over at the Weasleys house just before my 2nd year started when the slipped it into my breakfast that morning. As Molly was just about to sit down and enjoy her breakfast I went crashing to the floor. I vividly remember the twins laughing as Arthur and Molly panicked. Once I was awake I was propped on the couch until I felt better while in the kitchen Arthur aattemped to give the boys a strict talking to which didn't end well. Molly ended up marching right in there and sending the boy to there rooms for the rest of the day to write and apology to me. I still have there letters. I read them from time to time to remember the good old days.

George held the door open for me as we walked into The Three Broomsticks. All of us heading to grab a drink before we headed to the meeting Hermione set up for all of us. Harry was still clueless about everything as we all had to keep quiet around him. 

Fred, George, Lee, Marie, Tommy and I all slid into a booth by the front before we ordered some butterbeers. The six of us all sandwiched in the small booth as I pressed up against George and Marie. Georges hand placed on his thigh had his pinky lightly brushed my leg as I carried on a conversation with Marie barely even noticing.  My shoulder pressed up against him as I laughed with Marie and Tommy over a silly little prank Tommy pulled on his roommates, that was nothing compared the the twins.

All six of us sipping on our butterbeer as we all conversed in one big conversation.  Fred and George constantly making us all laugh as we sat there waiting to go to Hogs Head. 

Once we were all done with our drinks we all headed out. Slidding out of the booth to head on out. George waiting by the end as I slid out. His hand held out towards me as I placed my hand in his to help me out of the booth. 

"You doing okay today?" George asked as we walked behind Fred and Lee with the happy couple behind us.  

"The best I can be. Classes are tough and assignments are a pain but what else is new. How about you? Quidditch is around the corner are you ready?"

"Totally ready for a great season. I. reckon we are going to win the House Cup."

"You better."

"What are you going to do if we don't?" He teases. 

"Let's just say if you do win the odds maybe in your favor," I teased back.

"I think I like those odds,"

"Don't get ahead of yourself there Weasley," I said as I we made it to Hogs Head. Lee holding the door open of all of us. The place was already packed as we made our way to the back room. Marie and I taking a seat up front at the twins sat down to the right of me. George of course always right next to me. As the place grew louder for a while I rested my head on Georges shoulder and closed my eyes. I was so tired from staying up late to get assignments done and study for classes. Feeling calm and at peace sitting here with George. Feeling as if I had nothing to worry about. Wanting to feel this way forever and forget about the real world outside us. 

Soon the loudness of the room we wer in grew quiet and I felt my leg begin shaken. I opened my eyes to see Georges hand on my knee as I looked at his hand. Feeling a sense of belonging and not harm from him.  I drew my eyes over to him as he was looking down at me. 

"Sorry," I whispered as I lifted my head off his shoulder. 

"You're okay. Hermione, Ron, and Harry are here so I figured you might want to be awake."

"Thanks," I said as I looked over at the three of them as the awkwardly. Each of them waiting for one another to do something until Hermione got up and quieted those who were still talking. 

Talking about how we need a teacher who will actually teach us what we need to know. How to fight, defend, and protected ourselves. Those who believe that Voldemort is back and we need to do something about it. Talking about Cedrics death and Harry reliving his duel with Voldemort. Others were skeptical about joining but finally gave in when the learned he could produce a patronus charm. I for one was jealous. While I spent my whole 3rd and 4th year learning about the charm I had yet to master it. I was hoping that. I would have mastered it by last year to get extra points on my OWLs exam but failed to do so. But it only made me want to learn more and find out what my patronus was. After everyone talking. about Harry's patronus everyone was quick to sign up and be apart of the team.  

After the meeting Fred, George and I stayed back as we waited for Ron, Harry,  Hermione, Neville, and Ginny. Marie had already headed back towards the castle with Tommy and Lee for the night as the rest of us talked about were our newly formed group would meet. My tiny figure walking between Fred and George as we walked back towards the castle. Little did we know that someone was listening to us all along. Already trying to ruin our chances of fighting to protect ourselves.
