Spending Christmas by the common room fire it wasn't until late I realised the time. Deciding to take a look at the full moon the light it spread across the tower and my skin made me smile into the cold night. But that's when a cold chill ran down my spine.

"So spending your holidays away from family." Caith. He was right behind me, hands resting on either side of my body.

"We don't celebrate any holidays remember." He chuckled into my ear then stopped suddenly.

"Who have you been fucking?" He hissed pulling on my hair so I slammed into the wall behind him. It didn't hurt much but it knocked the wind out of me. Gasping he kept his hold onto my hair tilting my head back. "Tell me and maybe I won't rip your throat out." His fangs came into view.

"I'm not some weak little girl Caith. If you even touch me I'll claw your eyes out." Caith's fangs nearly pierced my skin until his fist slammed into the wall.

"But you're weaker than me and most high ranked vampires. You're a half breed you should be proud to have me to be your husband." I shoved him off and he almost went out the archway.

"Were not married, I don't owe you anything Caith. After I finish school here you'll never see me again." He roared at me eyes glowing a deep red just as a shout was heard.

"Stupefy." Caith went flying out the window, gasping I went back against the wall avoiding the hit. Looking over at who cast the charm it was George. "Love are you alright?" George breathed out coming over to take hold of me.

"Yeah, I'm fine what... What are you doing here?" He helped me up taking me away from the now broken archway.

"Fred and I came to surprise you for Christmas and split up to find you." George kept walking us further into the castle, I didn't have time to process what was happening. "Dumbledore is taking care of Caith now. He shouldn't even be able to get on school grounds." I didn't say anything as George took me into the common room and set me down on the couch.

"I thought you were with your family for Christmas." I breathed out and George was fidgeting where he sat. He's anxious.

"We wanted to spend half of the break with you so came after Christmas dinner." Nodding I bit my lip. George went to say something just as the common room door opened.

"Freddie?" I asked standing up from the couch and Fred came over giving me a tight hug.

"One of the teachers told me what happened. Are you ok love?" His hands cupped my face and I sucked in a breath.

"Yeah, I'm..." Fred kissed me shocking me before I relaxed a little but George pulled me back.

"Fred she needs to calm down not make out." He held onto my shoulders tightly.

"And (y/n) isn't a weak girl. She can make her own decisions." I raised an eyebrow stepping away from both of them.

"And she's right here." The pair stopped the fight, which I've never seen them do before or perhaps it's something they do when I'm not around. Not that I can say anything. I've only known the pair for four months. "What you saw there George is normal for me. My father tends to have a short temper." Mumbling the last bit to myself they took a second to respond.

"But it shouldn't be like that." Fred insisted stepping forward but I looked away.

"No one should be treated that way." It was Georges turn to come closer and I glanced back at them. They really don't understand why it's different for me and they shouldn't. They may end up hating me.

"What happened to make him so angry?" Fred asked with a second of hesitation. I bit my lip wondering if I should tell him anything.

"You can tell us, love." I sat myself down on the couch preparing for what to say.

"He could scent someone on me and asked who I was sleeping with. I didn't tell him and he got angry." When not hearing a response I thought perhaps they were so shocked they forgot what I said. But they were holding in a laugh.

"He got angry because he's jealous?" I nodded wondering why they started laughing, maybe because how late it was now.

"Seriously? That guys a hothead." in a blink of an eye I was standing right in front of Fred, lips near his ear.

"In his eyes, we're already married so you both stole me from him so yes he's jealous and now angry." Fred gulped at my whisper and not touching him I stepped back. "I'm going to bed." Declaring this I made my way to the small bridge between the stairs and the girl's dorm rooms. The twins watched me move up. "You guys coming?" I asked and they seemed at me. Seeming not to care about what was said sprinting after me.

The next morning I woke up with the twins on either side of me and managed to get out of bed without waking them. Thankful that the bed was rather big I got changed and did my hair just before opening up the window and sitting along the frame to take in the fresh cold air. Drawing up my bedroom with the twins sleeping in it I managed to get most of it done before there was any movement.  Fred was the first to wake up and searched around the room until finding me on the window sill.

"It's freezing out their love." He commented not having a shirt on. I poked his chest.

"Well, that doesn't help." He chuckled kissing my head sitting down beside me.

"Wow, that's amazing (y/n)." He breathed out looking at the sketch.

"My new hobby. I'm enjoying it so far." letting him look through the sketches I made my gaze went back out to the scenery, then I remembered what Dumbledore had said just as George came up behind me wrapping his arms around my front and resting his chin on my head. "What does it mean to love someone?" The soft turning of pages stopped and I could tell the twins were having a silent conversation between themselves as I waited for an answer.

"To love someone means desiring happiness of another person and admiring who they are." George started off and the Fred followed.

"Wanting them to succeed and going beyond physical attraction." I hummed in understanding thinking it through for a moment.

"Well, then I guess in some ways I love you both." Fred choked on air gaping at me as well as George.

"Only some ways?" George questioned me with a small grin on his face.

"Well yeah, I still find you both extremely attractive." It was silent for a split second before the pair erupted into a fit of laughs. Which was confusing because it was true. "What?" I said while turning myself around to spy both their faces.

"And I guess then we love you too." They said in unison smiling at me taking turns to kiss me quickly.

"In some ways of course." Fred varied trying to keep his face serious.
