I was Twelve!






"Shh! Oi! Shut it! You're going to get us into trouble!"

"Shh! Oi! Shut it! You're going to get us into trouble!"

"Careful you idiot! Or do you want mum to catch us?!"

Fred and George bickered back and forth behind me quietly as I pressed my ear against the door. There was another Order meeting going on and like the curious cats we were, the twins and I always tried to find a way to eavesdrop. Apparently there was a disagreement going on in the locked room, with all the shouting I was hearing. The two babbling baboons behind me were making it difficult for me to hear what was being said.

"Will you two just shut it!" I hissed. "I can't hear a bloody thing they're saying. Now if you two don't zip it, I'll personally seal your mouths shut with glue!"

Fred and George look to one another before scrambling away. I was surprised. It was honestly one of my worst threats I have ever made. Rolling my eyes, I go to place my ear against the door only to see a pair of black boots in front of me. My eyes trail up and to my great embarrassment, Professor Snape was looking down on me.

"Shit" I say standing up and backing away from my head of house.

"Miss Black. Is there any particular reason you were eavesdropping just now?"

"I- um, no. Not at all Professor. You see I was walking by when my earring fell. It's one of my favorite pairs and I was just looking for it" I lied pathetically while swiftly reaching up to my left ear and pulled my earring off.

Professor Snape raised an eyebrow at me. The corners of his mouth twitched. He knew I was lying.

"That is by far the most pathetic lie I have ever heard. Haven't I taught you better than that Rina?" Dad said coming from behind Snape.

Leave it to dad for calling me out on my shit and making matters worse for me.

"Fred and George put me up to this actually" I say crossing my arms, lips spreading into a smirk. Usually I wasn't a snitch, but I always found myself making an exception towards my two best friends.

Instantly, Mrs. Weasley ran out of the room, cheeks flared red as her similar red hair. I knew what was coming and it never failed to entertain me.

"Fred and George Weasley! How dare you make Carina eavesdrop on the Order! Come down here this instant!" She yelled.

Snape rolled his eyes seeming like he didn't want to be in this house any longer.

"There there Molly. It was harmless fun is all. No need to be too hard on the boys. After all, my Carina is much more of a trickster than they are" Dad patted Molly on the shoulder.

"My,  I wonder where she gets that from" Snape stated sarcastically.

Dad frowned.

"Put a cork in it, snivellus" dad snickered.
