Emmeline Rosewood is starting her first year at Hogwarts and she can't wait. Especially when she befriends two identical red heads and is charmed by the one who calls himself George Weasley. She goes through life's ups and downs with her friends by...
"Bye mate!" George calls to me as we part ways. We're outside by the greenhouses, having just left Herbology. I have a free period before double potions so naturally I make my way to the abandoned classroom. It's become kind of a safe haven for me, I go there so often. Sometimes Cedric and I meet there but most of the time I go alone. It's calming and gives me a lot of nostalgia about first year. Those were the good old days. Just the four of us, laughing and pranking. Before things got some complicated, what with relationships and all this drama. I arrive on the corridor that the classroom is on and notice that the door is slightly open. I creep forward slowly and look around, sure that someone is going to jump out at me. No one does. The corridor is empty and so I keep inching forward to the classroom, thinking that Peeves is just causing a ruckus or something. My jaw drops when I see it.
"Bloody hell!" I cry, and George and Ophelia jump apart. I found them kissing, very passionately at that, with Ophelia pushed up against the wall. For Godric's sake, I thought that George was just trying to make Em jealous last week on the train. I didn't actually think that anything was happening. And in our classroom too!
"For Godric's sake mate! A little privacy!?" George cries, looking annoyed. I scowl at him. He can kiss whoever he wants, but if it means he's going to disrespect me, I won't tolerate it.
"Seriously? In ours and Em's classroom!?" I ask, incredulous.
"Oh shove off, it's not like she's using it currently" He retorts. Ophelia is just standing there, batting her lashes at George. He looks like he's hard. I want to vomit.
"It's the principle of the matter" I say, rolling my eyes.
"Whatever" He groans, clearly frustrated.
"Look mate, I don't care who's throat you shove your tongue down. Just please don't be doing all this to make Em jealous. It won't work. And also, come on man. This is our classroom, the one we established in first year. Not just some casual make out room" I say, sighing. Ophelia doesn't seem like she cares about the Em comment. George looks furious.
"Lee, this is none of your damn business. And I can kiss who I please, where I please. Come on Ophelia, let's go" He says, grabbing her hand. She takes it, giggling and they leave the classroom. I stand there, perplexed and quite angry. What the hell just happened?
Emmeline's pov:
"Em! Come here!" Fred calls from the Gryffindor table. I've just walked into the great hall for lunch. I make my way over to where he's sitting. He's grinning like a madman and I can't even imagine why.
"What's up Freddie?" I ask, almost nervous for the answer.
"Be ready at 8 tonight. Wait in your common room until I knock on the barrels. Got it?" He asks. I laugh at his crazed expression.
"I'm flattered but I'm taken" I tease.
"Oh relax, it's not a date. George will be there too" He says, waving his hand in dismissal.
"Oh alright. What about Lee?" I ask.
"He's not invited. He and George are in a fight" He responds, rolling his eyes at the word "fight."
"Why?" I ask. Last I'd seen, they were perfectly buddy-buddy.
"I dunno. George won't say and I haven't seen Lee all day" He responds. I give a small sigh.
"Well alright. What are we doing tonight?" I ask, and his grin has returned.
"Exploring" He replies simply.
"Exploring what exactly?"
"Well you see, that's the fun part. It's a surprise." He retorts and I groan. I hate surprises. Especially when pranksters plan them.
"Oh relax. You'll have fun" He says, chuckling.
"Fine," I reply, walking away.
~*.'~*.'~
I hear a knock at the portrait around 8:15. I've been waiting in the common room for about half an hour now and it's basically empty. There's a small group of stressed looking sixth years in the corner but that's it. I get up and walk towards the portrait, opening it up. There they stand, two mischievous looking gingers. Fred is holding the marauders map and George is holding a sack filled with who knows what.
"You ready?" Fred asks as I step into the hall. I nod and we walk, George leading the way. It isn't past curfew yet so we're safe for now. Getting back should be interesting though.
"Where exactly are we going?" I ask and George grins.
"A secret passageway of course" He replies.
"One I've been on before?" I ask.
"No" Fred responds.
"May I ask why now? We haven't gone on any adventures with the map in years" I state. The twins share a look.
"Well, we were thinking of gifting the map to Harry" Fred says and George nods.
"Harry? As in Harry Potter?" I question, incredulous. They barely even talk to him! Why give him their most prized possession?
"That's the one," George says.
"Why?" I ask.
"We just think that he's the perfect person to continue our legacy. Plus, he needs a way to get into Hogsmeade since he didn't get his permission slip signed. So, we wanted to get all of the Em and twins adventure time that we can. Sound good?" Fred asks, looking back at me. I nod.
"I suppose so," I say.
"Good. Now, I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," He says, and the ink appears on the map.
~*.'~*.'~
We've been sitting in a dark passageway for hours now, just talking and laughing like we used to. I've missed this. I've missed George and I not being awkward around each other and all of us just being friends. Food was what was in the sack George brought, piles of pasties and candies. Even some butterbeer.
"Damn, we've really made a dent in the food" George remarks, looking at the near empty pile.
"Damn right. Thanks for bringing it" I say and he smiles. We all sit in silence for a while before looking at each other and busting out laughing. And just like that, everything is back to normal.
