The Unexpected Twin

~40~

Fred's POV

Yet another vacation that I didn't receive a single letter from Y/N. I just hope her dad wasn't too hard on her after he took her away. George, Ron and I had to rescue Harry. It was pretty cool to drive Dad's flying car. I couldn't help but think if we should've rescued Y/N as well. At least, we could save one person. Harry got excited to show everyone this brand new singer from the muggle world. He brought one of her CD's. Her name was Ashlyn. She sounded like an angel. Harry was going to get us all copies of her albums. Everyone fell in love with her voice, even mom and dad.

Today was finally the day! The day everyone goes to Diagon Alley to get all their stuff for the next school year. That means I get to see Y/N again! I got so excited, I woke up early for once! I got ready and rushed downstairs to see my mom making breakfast. "Well, you sure are up early." Mom says with a smile. "Just excited for the day." I say excitedly. Mom looks at me and raises her eyebrow. "And that wouldn't have anything to do with school shopping, would it?" I look at my mom. "Of course it is. I love school so much." I say sarcastically. Molly rolls her eyes and goes back to making breakfast. "Oh, by the way, a letter came for you. It's on the table dear." I look at my mom with a confused look. I go over to the table and look at the letter. I notice it's Y/N's handwriting! I rip it open, and I start to read it.

"Fred, Unfortunately I will not be joining you at Hogwarts this year. Lucius shipped me off and sent me to live with my Aunt Cressida in America. She is really nice to me and she's a fashion designer. She let me decorate my own room and made me so many cool clothes. I really am missing you though. I hope all is well. I have no idea how long I will be out here. I will still be able to write to you, hopefully. I hope you don't forget about me. I know I won't forget you. ~Y/N"

My face drops and I drop the note. I fell onto the couch with a look of disappointment. George comes down the stairs. "Hey. What's the matter with you?" He asks me with a face of worry. I handed him the note and I sat there in silence. "Dang dude. That's got to suck. You can't catch a break with her, can you" I snatch the note from his hand. "Thanks Captain Obvious!" I say back sarcastically. "Today was going to be the day I finally saw her again!" George smirks. "Well, you aren't anymore." I smacked his arm. "This isn't funny!" George smacked me back. "Kind of is." Mom comes in angrily. "What are you guys fighting about now?" She threw her towel down. "Fred is just mad he won't see his little girlfriend this year." George says mockingly. "She's not my girlfriend!" I said defensively. Mom looks at us confused. "Girlfriend? Who are you talking about?" George snatches the letter from my hands and hands it to mom. "America?!?!?!?" She looked up surprised. "What kind of father just ships their daughter off to another country?!?!?!?" My face turned from sadness to anger. "The kind of father who leaves his daughter at the hospital!"

"How about we take some deep breaths? Have some breakfast then we will go shopping. She said she would write to you." I take a deep breath. "Yeah, I guess you are right." I get up and grab some breakfast. Everyone else starts to wake up, and I am silent. I eat my breakfast and go over to the fireplace waiting to leave. After everyone is finished eating, we use floo powder to get to Diagon Alley. We go straight to Flourish and Blotts. Inside, we see our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Mom is in love with him for some reason. I guess he's some famous author or something. I don't know. I also really didn't care. What I did care about was a voice I heard. I heard a familiar obnoxious voice talking to Harry. It was Draco!

I walked over to Harry and saw Draco and his father. I immediately got angry. "What did you do to Y/N?" Lucius looks over at Fred calmly. "I haven't the faintest notion what you are talking about." Fred gets even angrier. "Yes! You do! What kind of a father treats their daughter like that?" Lucius looks at my dad. "You would be wise to control your son, Arthur." Dad grabs my hand and shakes his head. I start to back off. "Pathetic. Can't eve stand up for your own girlfriend." Draco says mockingly. Lucius puts his hand on Draco's shoulder. "Now, now, Draco. I raised you better than that. We cannot scoop to their level. Anyway if I have anything to say about it, Y/N will be kept as far away from you as possible." Lucius and Draco walk out.

My hands are clenched in fists. "He can't do that!" I yell. Dad grabs my shoulder. "I'm afraid he can, son. Anyway, he has her locked in on an arranged marriage. As long as she is legally his daughter, she is set to marry someone else." I look at my dad. "Arranged marriage... Why didn't she tell me?" Arthur sighs. "She might not have known. I'm sorry son, but this is out of our hands." I storm out.

I walk around Diagon Alley thinking to myself. Y/N can't marry someone else. She can't be in an arranged marriage. She would never agree to that. Maybe dad is right. Maybe she doesn't know. But who would he arrange for her to marry? Because it is the Malfoy's, it would have to be someone from a pure-blooded family. I'm a part of a pure-blooded family! Why couldn't it have been me! What was his gain from trying to marry her off? More money? Just to get rid of her? I had too many questions and not enough answers.

I had to clear my head. I went into a music store. I saw that they had Ashlyn's album that Harry showed us. Kind of weird that they would have muggle music here, but I wasn't complaining. I bought her album and a Walkman. I put her music on and suddenly all my problems went away. I went to a secluded bench and wrote a letter back to Y/N. Hopefully, she would be able to come back soon.
