The Ravenclaw girl book 3

Chapter seven

"You sure you'll be alright?" Poppy asked with Will still trying to crawl on the rug behind them. Poppy came over saying she needed a few hours to sleep and wash her hair so (y/n) decided on the spot to take Will from her until Davis came to pick him up tonight.

"Yes, Poppy and if I need anything I'll call you. The twins set up a telephone to amuse their dad." Poppy gave her a tiered hug before heading off. (y/n) sat down with Will making funny faces and playing with him. He did manage to crawl a little but keeping his head up was the hard bit.

"(y/n) did you..." George came up the stairs and stopped when seeing (y/n) holding the baby in her arms with a bottle. "So you stole the baby from Poppy." (y/n) frowned at George before he laughed looking over (y/n)'s shoulder and smiling at the little baby.

"I didn't steal him. Poppy just needed some time by herself for a few hours and being an amazing aunty I decided to let that happen." George kissed her forehead smiling at the now half-asleep baby. They were both silent for a moment longer before (y/n) let out a hum. "I need to use the bathroom. Could you?" She gestured for him to take the baby but George stood up straight.

"No I can't. I'd do it wrong." (y/n) laughed hard enough to make the baby stir but Will kept drinking the milk in the bottle.

"I can teach you." George sighed but eventually sat down next to (y/n). "Use your right arm to rest his body and your left to keep him in a place like this." Moving Will into George's arms (y/n) smiled as George seemed awkward at first but he leaned back onto the couch. 

"Be quick ok, I don't want to be unsupervised for long." (y/n) snorted kissing George softly before walking off to the bathroom.

(y/n) was showing Will the store as it was closing for the night. Every product she would tell him the name before moving on to the next item.

"And the puking pastels. We shall avoid that one. Wouldn't want to ruin your parent's night just yet." She whispered to the baby, will just looked at her speaking.

"Do you think you should be taking him around the store?" Fred asked just after helping someone.

"Yes, of course. He's going to come here all the time when he gets older so why not start now?" Fred chuckled shaking his head.

"Is my son in one piece?"Davis called out by the door. (y/n) grinned going over to Davis.

"Perfectly healthy right bud?" She took him over to Davis and Accioed his things from upstairs.

"Thanks for that. Poppy hasn't been sleeping well. Always wanting to be near him."

"Anytime. Bye, Will." She kissed his forehead handing Will over.

"Cya sis." Smiling waving Davis off he left with Will that started crying as they left the store.

"He didn't cry once with you." George breathed out and (y/n) shrugged.

"Just good with kids I suppose." Throughout the next few weeks, it became routine for (y/n) to take care of Will for a few hours in the afternoon once a week. On one of those said days (y/n) put Will to sleep on the couch in the office with a pillow to keep him in place. It wasn't often Will moved much anyway.

"Love you've got a letter," Fred said walking in as she was working. "He sure sleeps a lot." (y/n) hummed not looking up for a moment while fixing the bottle to another potion. It wasn't from a customer or her parents. Confused (y/n) opened the letter with the little letter opener on the desk. "Who's it from?"

"Dumbledore? He wants to meet tomorrow in his office." The letter didn't say much other than (y/n) needed to go from Hogsmeade into the castle. That might have to do with protection around the castle.

"You have to walk from Hogsmeade?" Fred asked reading beside her. (y/n) nodded and Fred hummed. "We'll go with you. The staff can shut the store."

"No no, I'll be ok." But Fred wouldn't listen. In fact neither Twin would listen not wanting her to walk the twenty minutes alone at dusk.

So the next night the store was closed a little earlier than normal and upon their arrival at Hogsmeade the Twins walked either side of her holding onto her hands as they walked.

"Kinda weird being back here." (y/n) breathed out seeing the school in the far distance as they walked.

"Especially after what happened when we were last here," Fred said and (y/n) laughed.

"Yes well, I'm sure we will have a warm welcome." The walk was calm and not another person was in sight the whole way through the track. Although she didn't need the twins with her, having them hold her hands on the cold night it was did feel relaxing.

"Who do you think will be meeting us?" Fred asked when they were coming up to the barrier of the school.

"I'm not sure." The path was ending and just when they had to stop someone came walking out from the distance.

"Right on time." It was Professor Flitwick. (y/n) smiled widely.

"Professor great to see you again." He lifted the warrior a small amount to let them step through.

"Likewise Miss (l/n). Now you three follow me." He walked just ahead of them while they entered the grounds. "Brilliant work you two boys did on the portable swamp last year. That woman was a piece of work." The twins grinned, maybe encouraging them right now wasn't the best moment. They might go off to prank Filch while she was gone.

"Well, we thought she needed something to remember us by." Fred chuckled out and Flitwick had a small smile on his face. The halls did have a few students about but most would probably be in their common rooms.

"It's odd being here and not in uniform." (y/n) said while watching a few Ravenclaws leave the library on their way through to the tower.

"Just wait until your sending off your own kids. That'll twist your mind." At his words, she stiffened.
The twins saw this and chuckled squeezing her hands. "I'm on duty tonight so I'll have to leave you three at Dumbledore's office. I trust nothing will go wrong." He glanced back to Fred and George who saluted him.

"No worries there. We've had our fun." Something was telling (y/n) that wasn't completely true. Flitwick stood in front of the large bird statue and cleared his throat.

"Acid pops." It began moving, and Flitwick gestured a hand for (y/n) to move. "You boys stay down here. It's a private meeting." well that meant they would do something while she was gone. She looked over with a worried expression.

"Don't worry love, we'll be fine. Go on."
