The Potter twins ~ D.M

So close yet so far

(A/n: A part of this chapter follows Harry for a while but it's just the match and an important scene so enjoy <3)

_Third Person Pov_

Y/n stood out of bed and as she yawned it hit her...

Her friends, her boyfriend... they would be arriving this morning.

She quickly made her bed and got dressed into comfortable clothes as today was the last day of winter break.

She rushed into the Great Hall and began to eat when she noticed Harry and Ron where sat together while Hermione was sitting at the other end of the table was sitting alone with blotchy cheeks and tear filled eyes.

Y/n walked over with her bowl and sat beside her silently.

Hermione looked up.

"Harry and Ron are furious with me", she whispered.

"Why?", Y/n asked quietly as she glanced at the two boys.

"Harry got sent a Firebolt for Christmas", Hermione stated.

"What? By who?", Y/n asked.

"That's the thing... he has no idea. I thought it was suspicious so I told McGonagall, just to see if she thought it was weird too. She took the broom to be stripped down and examined, the boys are obviously annoyed with me".

"My brother has been a bit of a twat lately, but I love him very much and as his much more mature half... it's safe to say I agree with you. It was probably sent by Sirius Black. No one would question a Quidditch accident as a cause of death", Y/n replied.

"Yeah... well I guess there's nothing I can do", Hermione sighed.

"If you want I won't speak to them", Y/n offered.

"No no, you two are just starting to repair your relationship... you're not involved with this silly situation so there's no reason for you to ignore them".

"You sure?".

"I'm sure Y/n, thank you. You're a good friend", Hermione said with a small smile.

Y/n jokingly flipped her hair and winked at Hermione. "Appreciate it babes".

Hermione was really smiling now.

Y/n was rubbing her hands together as she stood at the door with McGonagall who was signing all the students back in. Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle weren't back yet. She shivered.

McGonagall turned to her as she saw the carriages bringing them to the school were still further away, crossing the bridge.

"Why must you insist on waiting here Ms.Potter, you'll catch your death", McGonagall spoke.

"Oh well a chance to be in your company is just to good to pass up on", Y/n smiled.

The corners of Professor McGonagall's lips curved a little as she tried not to smile.

"You and your brother... you both are just like them", She said with her usual face.

"My Mum and Dad?", Y/n asked.

"Well yes... but I meant your Father and his best friend. You're just like his best friend", McGonagall said.

"Black... he was my Dad's best friend", Y/n smiled tightly.

"Yes. Yes he was... which is why it shocked me for a very long time when I heard", McGonagall admitted looking at Y/n.

"I don't truly know what their was life was like, but I'm glad my Dad had Black... at least he had someone he thought he could trust, someone he loved and was honoured to call his best mate. I have that, I have many great friends and I'd rather love them and be loved by them for a while and die, than be alone and live".
