Natalia Potter

lounging around

Natalia woke. But not in her bed, not at her bed at Hogwarts or at home. Gently she sat up and looked around to see a sleeping Fred beside her and George walking towards the bathroom sleepily in his pajamas, looking to the clock on the bedside table she noticed it read 1:37am. lying back down she leant into the comfort of her friends arms, his freckle filled arm pulled her closer and she leant into his soft touch.

Mumbling Fred awoke to a flash hours later, the clock read 6:48am. Before he continued to get out of the comfort of his bed he realized a sleeping Nat lay on his arm, how peaceful she looked. But they were just friends. Yes she was funny, charismatic, charming and oh so beautiful but they were just friends. 

George stood beside the bed smiling quietly to himself, camera in hand, "Morning." Fred aggressively threw a pillow at his brother causing Nat to stir awake. "Hey, how did I end up here?" she spoke, "oh er you fell asleep in the secret room so Fred here carried you back and when we tried to take you to the girls dormitory the stairs tuned into a slide and me couldn't get up so we brought you here."

"Oh crap I forgot that happens after third year, anyway thanks Freddie thanks Georgie" she spoke as she climbed out of the comfort of Fred's bed. "I'll go get ready and I'll meet you downstairs and we will go to breakfast." both boys just nodded as their best friend walked out of the room. 

George smirked as his brother threw on his school shirt that laid on top of his drunk below his bed. "WHAT?" Fred argued as George continued to smirk at him, "What it is to be young and in love." 

Confused Fred followed his slightly younger brother to the bathroom to brush his teeth arguing back and forth whether Fred loved Natalia or not, after a few rounds back and forth Fred dropped the accusation and walked away quite quickly. 

The trio soon reunited in the common room dressed and ready for the classes ahead after breakfast, they joked around with Peeves the ghost on their way to the Great Hall planning pranks for the semester ahead. The time read 7:23am so the hall was quite full as classes started at 8:45am so the trio decided to sit with their younger siblings who was seated as usual with Hermione. Many looked at Hermione, Harry and Ron as the copy of Fred, George and Nat but they themselves couldn't see it especially with them being so dull and boring as they rediscovered after deciding to sit next the them for breakfast.  The younger trio discussed classes, excluding Ron who as usual was eating in a world of his own whilst the older trio engaged in discussion of Hogsmeade and Zonko's shop.

Three friends made their way to double charms, their first lessons of the day where the revisited everything they had learnt so far and reviewed everything in the upcoming year. Within these two hours they had no choice but to sit and listen as Mcgonagall knew them too well and separated them with a seating chart, Fred and George in the front of the class but at separated ends and Natalia in the back without any ginger distractions as the Professor put it. Nat however find some enjoyment in the dull class which they shared with the Hufflepuff house, she was seated beside Cedric Diggory who she found was surprisingly funny. Through the two hours which lasted an eternity the two prefects spoke and enjoyed each others company. 

Eternity passed and the sound of the enchanted bell rung signaling the end of the class for the suffering students. In their 30minute break they soaked up the heat of the sun lying near the black lake, though they decided 30minues wasn't long enough so unanimously decided they would unfortunately have to pass on the hour long opportunity to spend their time with Snape, what a shame.
