His Hufflepuff, Her Gryffindor - A Fred Weasley Story

Chapter One - A New Month

It was the last thing the young witch needed to hear 'Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban'. She put the paper down and started to pace, she couldn't think about it, she needed to finish packing for her 5th year at Hogwarts.

So that's what she did, she busied herself with just that - packing. But it still niggled in the back of her head - her father was on the run, was he coming for her? Were the 'rumors' true? Was he really a mass murderer who supported You-Know-Who?

All she could remember was a loving father who gave her everything, love, attention, and kindness.

Aurora -
"Aurora, are you nearly finished packing? Just we need to get a move on" I heard my Uncle call from the hallway as he got closer to my room. "Nearly finished Uncle" I said as I triple checked everything before bundling my beautiful Kneazle Raven into her carry case. She mewed before I placed a handful of her favourite treats into the case with her. "Hope me being your teacher this year won't embarrass you?" Uncle Remus said as he stood in my doorway. I chuckled and shook my head, my lilac hair swaying as I did so. "No, it won't, I'll call you Professor like all the others, plus - you've been teaching me life since I was three" I said locking my trunk and grabbing my carry bag that held my robes.

Uncle Remus chuckled "I have tried my best, you're a remarkable young Witch, I'm proud of you" he said as he took my trunk while I picked up Raven in her carry case. "Don't worry, I won't intervene on you and your friends on the train, I'll go and have a nap in another compartment" he added as we walked through the house to the front door. I just chuckled "Thanks, and you need rest, last night's full moon was rough, I'm still sore, even after taking Healing Potion" I chuckled as I shook my leg from when I took a bad tumble - Uncle Remus couldn't control his Werewolf side, not without his Wolfsbane Potion, which I unfortunately couldn't get the ingredients for. "I am sorry, again" Uncle Remus said. "It's okay, I knew what I was getting myself into when I became an Animagus, I may be smaller, but I can just about keep you out of trouble, and I'm sorry I couldn't get all the ingredients" I said.

My Animagus form is a Wolf - ironic seeing as Uncle Remus is a Werewolf. Uncle Remus chuckled "I'm glad and it's not your fault" he said as we locked up the house and he held out his arm. I took hold of his forearm and we Apperated.

I was use to Apperating by now, but it did still leave me a bit uneasy. "The Leaky Cauldron, go and meet your friends and I'll see you at Hogwarts, Little One" he said placing my trunk next to me. I smiled up at him before he placed a kiss to the top of my head and Apperated.

Once inside The Leaky Cauldron I heard Ron and Hermione arguing, "It's a cat Ronald, it's in it's nature" Hermione said. "A cat? Is that what they told you? Looks more like a pig with hair if you ask me" Ron bit back. "That's rich coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush" Hermione said, clearly frustrated.

I chuckled to myself as I shook my head placing my trunk against the wall, Raven's carry case on top and put my carry bag on top of that next to two very familiar battered looking trunks. I opened Raven's carry case and she jamp onto my shoulders. She did like it there, high up so she could see everything.

I was about to turn around when I heard my name being called "Aurora, dear, lovely to see you" it was Mrs Weasley. "Mrs Weasley, lovely to see you aswell" I said as we shared a hug. She was the mother figure in my life that I didn't have, she practically adopted me, always having me at The Burrow. "You've definitely got everything?" She asked me. I nodded "Triple checked" I smiled. She smiled back "Good, good" she said before rushing off to check on the others, "Aurora, good summer?" Mr Weasley asked me. I nodded, "Yeah, missed you lot though, was a bit boring" I smiled as he patted my shoulder, following his wife.
