"We are getting our own rooms?!" George exclaimed as his face glowed up once Dumbledore was guiding us to our rooms in the Gryffindor Tower. Dumbledore nodded and continued to guide us. I looked around the common room and it was exactly how I remembered. I had only left Hogwarts last year but I still miss it sometimes. The fireplace was on and the couches were placed in front of it. The new first years looked at George and me with a strange look on their faces. I chuckled and continued to head towards the stairs until I felt someone pull on my blazer. I turned around and saw a young 1st year with chocolate-colored hair and a shy look on her face. I smiled and kneeled down

"What can I help you with, Miss?" I asked in a friendly voice. The little girl looked down and began to speak. 

"Are you the owner of Weasleys' Wizards Wheezes?" she asked. I nodded. 

"One of them. The other is my brother, George." I said as I looked over to George who kneeled beside me and looked at the girl. The girl looked up and her eyes widened once she was George and me. She smiled and giggled. 

"Wow!" the girl exclaimed as she jumped. "You're twins!"

"Indeed we are!" George laughed. The little girl gave us a hug and then ran away from us. George and I looked at each other confused, but laughed it off and continued to follow Dumbledore to our rooms.

"I've almost forgotten how the beds smell in this place." George gagged as he dropped his suitcase on the red sheeted bed. I rolled my eyes and walked towards him. 

"It's not that bad. At least Lee isn't here to stink them up all the time," I joked, making George laugh. "Just kidding, I love Lee. But he can really cause some bad smells sometimes." George nodded as he took out his shirts from the suitcase. I walked towards the chair in front of the desk and sat on it, beginning to swim in my thoughts. 

I needed a plan to talk to Aquila. We are obviously not as close as we were before, and I need to do my absolute best to not lose her entirely. I can't even tell if we are still together if I'm being completely honest. That time in Knockturn Alley, she said she was sorry, but I don't know what she's sorry for. Has she been lying to me? Has she cheated on me? No, she would never. I've never met such a loyal person besides George. Aquila would never cheat on me. Never in a million years. Maybe she was just sorry for having ignored my letters for such a large amount of time? That's something normal to be sorry about. I shook my head as I tried to organize my thoughts and took a deep breath. 

When I saw her as I was walking down the great hall, she smiled at me shyly and I did the same. Her smile sent me butterflies in my stomach. But then I remember that she looked away quickly and that Malfoy boy was looking at her worriedly. Then, I came up with an idea. I sat up from the chair and walked up towards my brother's room door. 

"George, I'm leaving for a few minutes. I'll be back." I said. I heard my brother hum in response and I quietly left my brother's dorm room to not bring any attention to myself. I walked down the hallway, reaching the stairs to reach the Gryffindor common room. My eyes landed on Harry Potter, who was talking to my brother, Ron, and their friend Hermione Granger. I ran towards him and kneeled next to him so I could whisper something to him. 

"Harry, would you mind if I borrowed your invisible cloak for a few minutes?", I asked pleadingly. 

"What, why?" he asked back confused. 

"Just please let me borrow it. I'll tell you why later." I begged. Harry nodded and told his friends he would be back, and I followed him to his door.
