Until The Very End.

Year 2.

~ A couple of months later, back in hogwarts ~

It was a quiet Wednesday evening, Millie and I were sat alone in the gryffindor common room while the twins were out in quidditch tryouts.

"I wonder how it's going with the tryouts, maybe we should have tagged along with them" I began as I twirled my wand between my fingers as if it was a drumstick.

"No way, it's cold, wet and windy. Why go out there in the cold, when you could sit in here by the fire, all warm and cosy. Which would you choose?" she answered as she plopped herself down into the armchair, swung her legs over one arm and leaned on the other arm of the chair.

"Stay here" I mumbled as I fell down and sat on the floor in front of the fire.

"Exactly, I'm right again" Millie smirked and started tapping her wand on her knee.

I looked up at the girl who wasn't taking no notice of me. I raised my wand slightly pointing at her and whispered "Expelliarmus" under my breath, sending her wand flying from her hand and over to the other side of the room.

"You idiot!" she laughed as she watched her wand fly across the room "I'm not going to get that, you can get it" she then said crossing her arms.

"You have to admit, that was funny" I laughed as I pushed myself up off the floor and began to walk over to the entrance archway where the wand had landed.

I leant over to pick up the wand before the common room door swung open and I got knocked over by two boys running into me, knocking me down and landing on my back.

"Dee?" the boy spoke as he looked down at me, running his hands through his soaked hair.

"Hello George" I said bothered but didn't even try to get up, so I just lay there looking up at him with a unbothered look on my face.

"You good?" he asked me and tilted his head to the side slightly.

"Yeah brilliant, I absolutely love lying on the floor" I said sarcastically.

"Mate help her up before I do" Fred spoke up from the sofa by the fire.

"Oh right, yeah sorry" George stuttered before holding a hand out, allowing me to hold his hand and he pulled me up to my feet.

"Thank you" I rolled my eyes but let out a small laugh at the same time.

He didn't let go of my hand for a few more seconds after I got up, but didn't keep it for too long before we both go over to the fireplace where Millie and Fred were.

"Right okay, okay. Who has two thumbs each, and got themselves onto the gryffindor quidditch team as the beaters?"

"Us!" George shouted in excitement as he gave his twin a high five.

"That's really great boys, well done" I smiled up at them.

"Yeah great whatever. Now go shower, you guys stink and you're covered in sweat" Millie spoke up from the sofa.

"I stink? You think?" Fred asked her before jumping on the girl and bringing her into a headlock.

"Fred get off of me you pig!" Millie squealed as she kicked her legs about trying to release herself from his grip.

"Go on, tell me if I smell or not. Genuinely curious" he teased her, not letting her go.

I then burst into a fit of giggles as she kicked about so much that they both tumbled off of the sofa and began to wrestle eachother, and rolled around the floor gently punching eachother in the stomach, but not too much to hurt eachother. Millie had enough and flipped him over and pinned him down by his shoulders.

"Pinned you" she giggled holding him down.

"For a girl..." he began as he tried to leave her grip "you're pretty strong"

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she asked him and tightened her grip on his shoulders making him groan in pain.

"Nothing, nothing" he muttered, making her finally let go of him and standing up and walked away, not even bothering to help him up or anything.

"Come on George" Fred mumbled as he walked out of the common room and up the stairs to his room.

"You can use our shower in our dorm if you don't want to wait for Freddie" I told George with a smile.

"Thanks Dee, won't be long" he said returning the same smile and running up to our dorm.

I turned to see Millie walking over to the window that looked out and over at the forbidden forest.

"You okay?" I asked her and approached her before stopping beside her.

"Fancy going on an adventure?" she asked without taking her eyes off of the forest.

"What? The forest? No way"

"Who's going to the forest?" George spoke up making us both jump a mile.

"We are, fancy joining us?" Millie told the twins and rested her arm on my shoulder as if I was an armrest.

"Uh Millie I did not agree to this"

"Tough, you're coming with me"

"I guess I am then" I said looking at George and shrugging.

"We'll tag along" Fred laughed and returned a nod off of George.

"Wicked, let's go" Millie giggled and pulled me by my wrist and we all followed her out of the common room.

We sprinted down the corridors, avoiding every professor we saw on the way, hiding in broom closets, sprinting behind corners to hide. If anyone found out what we were doing, we'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble. We managed to sneak past Hagrid's hut without getting caught by him who was actually sat outside collecting pots for more plants.

We stopped running as soon as we reached the entrance to the forbidden forest. It was pitch black, mist covered the floor so we couldn't even see the grounds. I reached to my back pocket and pulled out my wand before holding it in front of me.

"Lumos" I spoke and lit the end of my wand allowing us to see where we were going. I began to walk forward and lead the four of us through the trees.

We seemed to be walking for a while before hearing a few twigs snapping behind us causing us to jump. George brought his arm around and pulled me behind him as if he was trying to protect me.

"And what are you four doing out here past curfew? Not to mention the fact where you're stood right now" a man's voice spoke up from behind us.

It was Snape.

"Might as well ask you the same question Snivellus" Millie answered him and crossed her arms.

He seemed to be taken away by the nickname she called him, but that's what dad calls him back at home?

"You four, come with me. Now" he said with a slow and serious tone in his voice and spun around making us follow him back to the castle.

"Nice one" Fred whispered and swung his foot across her legs, causing her to trip up.

"Shut up Fred"
