{The leaky Cauldron}

Anertha awoke in excitement. She hadn't seen Fred since he went off on holiday with his family. Today though, she was. She jumped from her bed, threw on her clothes and ran down the stairs brushing her teeth. 'Anertha do that in the bathroom.' Her mother moaned. 'She's excited dear, leave her be.' Hr father defended. He whispered after. 'She is right though.' Nodding towards the stairs. Anertha sighed and ran back up to the bathroom. Cedric was waiting in the hall when she came out. He had a smirk on his face. 'Toothbrush again?' 'Yes.' She answered shortly. 'One day Annie you'll remember.' He smirked again as he entered and closed the bathroom door.

Amos escorted Anertha to the Leaky Cauldron to meet the Weasleys. Cedric had already gone to Diagon Alley so he stayed at home. Anertha had been given permission to stay with them for the next couple of days until school. 'Be good.' Amos kissed her goodbye before leaving. Her trunk was already there, her father had sorted that.

She opened the door, it was as busy as always. She spotted them immediately. 'Annie!' Fred called as he hugged her. He soon let go of her when he noticed people watching. He led her back to the table where the others were. George greeted her with a short hug. The others all smiled warmly at her. 'Sit down dear.' Molly smiled. She sat inbewtween the twins and listened to tales of their holiday. It wasn't until she heard Ron and Hermione bickering again over Crookshanks, did she realise Hermione was there at all. Of course that meant that Harry was not far behind. The twins stood to fetch their case from the other side of the large table. Anertha couldn't help but laugh when they started teasing Ron for showing off the Daily Prophet clipping. 'Leave him alone.' She smiled. 'Nope.' Fred smirked. 'Tea dear?' Molly asked. 'Please.' Anertha smiled. Mrs Weasley proceeded to pour her a cup. 'Here we are dear. Fred, George you know where the pot is.' She informed. 'She'll get you one but doesn't bother with her sons.' George scoffed. 'Well...I'm polite.' Anertha smirked. Fred hid a snort of laughter with his hand. Anertha took a sip from her cup and noticed Mr Weasley talking to Harry in the shadows. She frowned. 'You alright? I know mum's tea isn't great but-' Fred began. '-what do you suppose that is about?' She interrupted nodding towards Harry. Fred shrugged. 'Not a clue.' Anertha remembered something her mother had said during the summer about a mass murderer being spotted near the village. Was he looking for Harry? Could that be what they were talking about?

Anertha didn't sleep much that night. She climbed from her bed at midnight. She opened the door cautiously and walked a little down the hall. A hand came from nowhere and pulled her into a dark crevice. She tried to scream but the figure had covered her mouth. 'Don't. It's only me Annie.' Came Fred's voice. She breathed a sigh of relief when he let her go. She hit him round the head. 'Wat are you doing? You scared me!' She whispered. Fred pulled out his wand. 'Lumos.' They could now see each other. 'I couldn't sleep.' He answered. 'So you were stalking my room?' She smiled. 'A little. I was going to knock when you opened the door.' Anertha reached up on the tips of her toes and kissed Fred. H responded by wrapping his arms around her and kissing her hard. 'What are you doing?' Came a stern voice. The couple pulled apart in a flash to find Percy staring at them in disgust. 'None of your business bighead.' Fred hissed. 'I told mother your rooms should have been further apart. She said you two would behave. You're only 15.' Percy stuck his nose in the air. 'Exactly. We are 15. Well, I'm almost 16 but my point is we know what we should and shouldn't be doing.' Anertha said annoyed, he had interrupted their catching up for this. Percy scowled. 'Well frolicking in a dark corridor is just as bad as....I don't even want to think about that.' Fred at this point was seething. He pointed his lit wand to his brother's chest.'I have this you prat. Besides it's not as bad as you snogging Penny in an abandoned classroom! Yeah, me and George saw you. We didn't stick around to see how far THAT went!' Anertha stood with her mouth slightly ajar, staring between them. Percy went red and stormed away. Fred turned back to his girlfriend. 'Did he really do that?' She asked. 'Yeah, not a pretty sight. Think I'm scarred.' He laughed. Anertha hooked her arms around his neck. 'Let's make you forget then.' She half smiled. Fred smiled brightly. 'Nox.' He whispered. It went dark and he continued to kiss his girlfriend.
