Always : Theodore Nott

Chapter 1

Aurora, Fred and George spend the Sunday before school begins as they always do, with Aurora sat between Fred and George on the couch in the Gryffindor common room. The three due to start their sixth year at Hogwarts tomorrow.

Fred currently talking to George about some new invention for their business to sell to the first years. Aurora always admired their creativity but secretly curses them for thinking of the idea because she knew she'd be landed with working out the spells and ingredients for their brilliant new product idea. She doesn't mind though. She never does. She adores the two boys beside her with all her heart and always will.

Being an only child Aurora, found herself constantly feeling lonely as a child, whereas once she became friends with the two mischief making redheads, she never has a moment of peace to herself.

"Say Rory, how come the Flaming Fireballs that Fred made aren't working?" George asks snapping her out of her thoughts.

"What are the main ingredients Freddie?" she asks the other twin sat to her left.

"I think I used Dragon Heartstring and I threw in a bit of Boggart Essence to allow the flames to change into whatever the user wishes."Fred says.

"Well there's your problem. The Dragon Heartstring is cancelling out the Boggart Essence, which means the flames wouldn't be turning into anything."Aurora states.

"So that's it! Thanks Rory, you're a genius!," they both chime.

They both begin to scribble on some parchment while Aurora stares into the flames of the fire. With the fire heating her, in addition to the heat she's accumulating from the two boys on either side of her, she's too warm. She stands and turns to face the two boys.

"I'm so warm and bored, walk in the moonlight anyone?"She beams at the two.

"Absolutely,"the two say simultaneously.

"Only one small problem," George announces.

"Umbitch," Fred adds.

"Boys you underestimate me, I have a plan for that parasite."Aurora pulls two sugar cubes out of her pocket and holds them in her palm.
"I embalmed the sugar cubes with puking pastille essence. That leech will be puking for hours on end, giving us enough time to get out for a bit without getting caught."

"Wicked."

The three make it out of the Fat Lady's portrait and down the stairs towards Umbridge's office. Fred and George peek out from behind the wall to check for Filch. When the coast is clear, Aurora creeps towards the ridiculously pink door. She knocks twice. No answer. She opens the door slowly, revealing the ugly office of the ugly person who resides in it. The cats meow from their frames as they note the intruder.

A sound makes her jump slightly but she presumes it was just Peeves causing havoc for the Hufflepuffs as usual. Aurora makes her way towards the desk. She replaces the normal sugar cubes with the embalmed versions.

It's too quiet. Looking around once more, satisfied with her trickery she turns around and reopens Umbridge's office door. Behind it, in the hallway, stands Mr.Filch with a Weasley twin held by the ear in each hand. He stares at Aurora with hatred in his eyes.

"Evening Miss Jenkins, I don't think you and your two pets are permitted to be outside your dorms this late at night." He snarls at her.
