Class finished yesterday and it's now Christmas break. All the Weasley's that attend hogwarts, Oliver, Harry, and myself have all decided to stay at hogwarts. I was walking with Fred and George to the common room.

"It's Christmas Eve. I'm so excited I can't wait for -" I stopped mid sentence to see almost all of Gryffindor outside crowding around the portrait.

"Maybe Neville forgot the password again?" George guessed.

"I didn't. Why does everyone keep saying that!" Neville says annoyed walking past.

"Sorry Neville." I yell. "Anyway even if someone forgot the password someone else would know it." I add.

"Excuse me. Please move. Head Boy Coming through." A voice calls.

"Hey it's Big Head Boy." George said.

"The prattest of them all." Fred added.

"Percy Weasley!" They shouted.

"Stop it." I say trying to keep a straight face.

"What's going on here?" A voice said behind us.

All the Gryffindors turn around and see Dumbledore, Mcgnagall, Flich, and Snape. Percy hurries down the stairs towards them.

"The fat lady is gone professors. She isn't in her portrait and it looks like there are claw marks on the painting as well. The canvas is ripped." Percy reported.

We all made way as Dumbledore walked up to the Portrait . "Arugus tell the paintings to look for the Fat lady." Dumbledore instructed.

"No need professor. She's right there." Filch says point in a bony finger at a painting with an elephant. You can see the fat lady's head dress sticking out as she try's to hide behind it.

"My lady who's done this do you?" Dumbledore asks.

"It was him. He's here in the castle. Eyes black as the Devils soul they are." She babbles.

"Who?" Mcgnagall

"Sirius Black." She says and then shrieks and counties to hide.

"Secure the castle. Minerva Take all the students to the great hall were they'll spend the night tonight. Severus send the teachers to search the castle and see if black is still here. " Dumbledore orders.

Soon we find all the students that are staying for the holidays on the great hall in a sleeping bag. My sleeping bag is in between Fred and George. Soon everyone is asleep but the twins and I.

"I'm scared. Guys." I whisper snuggling more into my sleeping bag.

"Hey A.J it's ok." George said scouting closer to me.

"Yeah they'll find Black and send him back to Azkaban. Plus you have two handsome and dashing red heads to protect you." Fred adds and scouts closer as well. So now I'm sandwiched between them.

"Oh you mean Ron and Percy." I say

"No silly. We mean us Gred and Feorge of course." Fred says poking my nose.

"Thanks guys but there's more to why I'm scared." I say.

"You can tell us." George encourages.

"Promise you won't think of me different."

"We swear." They say in Sink.

"Well last hogsmead trip Harry and I used his invisibility cloak to go spy on the minster. He was talking about Black escaping and such. He also mentioned how Black killed the potters, 12 muggles, his friend Peter Petigrew. The minister also said he killed his sister her name was Mackenzie Black. Turns out Mackenzie Black is my mum. Which makes Sirius Black my uncle and to top that he's mine and Harry's godfather. He wants to kill is both. You must think I'm a horrible and worthless person." I say and start to cry burying my head into Fred's chest.

"Hey A.J it's ok. Come on look at us." George said kindly. I just shook my head and continued to cry.

"Alexandra Jane Wood you look at us!" Fred demands and lefts my chin up.

"Don't you EVER say your horrible and worthless. We don't care that your related to him. Your you and your family doesn't didn't you." Fred says looking into my eyes intensely.

"And if you think we are going to stop being your friends your wrong." George finishes.

"Thanks guys you're the best." I say pulling them big into a hug.
