The Unexpected Twin

~13~

Y/N's POV

I wrote to my parents telling them about my big victory and I never heard back from them. It was getting close to Christmas break and my brother was getting mail almost everyday. I still have yet to receive a letter from my parents since I started at Hogwarts. I'm not really surprised to be honest. They couldn't bother sending me off or even saying goodbye before I left. I wonder if they even remember i exist.

It was breakfast time in the Great Hall and I wasn't really hungry. Just kind of upset about my parents not writing back. I was moving my food around my plate with my fork when suddenly it was my least favorite part of the day. Mail time. At least a hundred owls flew through the doors dropping off letters and packages to other students and no surprise my stupid twin brother got yet another letter from our family. I was kind of hoping I would get a letter today. I wrote to my parents last night asking if I could just stay at Hogwarts instead of going home. I hear the familiar screech of my family's owl and  I saw him sitting next to me. I usually feed him a little bit before he goes off with my brother. Merlin knows how well he gets treated over there. I look over at him and see that he is holding a letter. For me! I finally got the mail I was hoping for! I give him a little pet as I take the letter from him and give him a treat and while he is eating I read my letter.

I sigh in frustration as I read the letter stating that I have to go home end of story. I abruptly get up and walk out of the Great Hall and I feel a strong hand grab me in the halls and turn me around. I try to pull away as tears start to form in my eyes but I turn to see Fred. I look up at him and he immediately pulls me into a hug. I break down crying in his arms. He rubs my back and tells me to breathe. I felt comfortable in his arms like I never wanted to leave them. I wish I could just stay here forever but I knew I couldn't. As I start to calm down I wipe my eyes and look up at him. "I'm guessing they said no?" He looked down at me while he moved my hair out of my face.

"The first time they even talk to me since I started this school and it's not to congratulate me on my win. It's not to check in and see how I'm doing. It's to tell me I'm stuck going home with my stupid brother! They didn't even give it any thought! It's not like they would even notice if I was there or not!!" Fred rubs my back. "It's gonna be okay. We can write everyday. Okay?" I hide my face in his chest and he starts to twirl my hair with his fingers. "I know it doesn't make sense now Y/N but I'll be here waiting for you when you get back okay?" I nodded my head needing a second to destimulate. "How about this? You don't leave till tomorrow morning right? So we can get together tonight and we can have all our friends together for one more night before you have to leave. How does that sound?" Fred looks down at me "You think everyone would want to?" I mumble into his chest. Fred puts his hand under my chin and slowly lifts it making me look up at him. "I'm positive." I smile at him and he bends down and kisses my head. I start to blush and people start to come out of the great hall. "I'll see you tonight. Okay? If you need me you know where to find me." Fred said to me with a smile.
