We had to sleep in the Great Hall again while the castle was searched that night.

Fred and George made sure to have me in between them as Harry was in a bad mood with everyone, including me.

He thinks I went with Hermione to take his Firebolt to McGonagall.

Anyway...

I was scared about Sirius Black and Fred and George wouldn't let me out of their sight.

I was lying awake, and by the looks of it, so were the twins.

I was unaware of my trembling hands until George placed his hand which was much larger than my two hands clasped together onto mine.

I rolled over to face him.

"You okay?" He asked.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

It came out shaky and unstable.

He squeezed my hand and silently reassured me.

I closed my eyes and let sleep overtake me.

I felt myself being picked up off of the ground and I opened my eyes.

Fred was carrying me out of the Great Hall.

"Wha?" I moved my head to look around but George quickly shushed me.

"We're going to McGonagall. We want you to have a rest day. We're going to say that you're sick and that we are going to look after you. Pretend to be asleep." George said.

I nodded and rested my head on Fred's shoulder, closing my eyes.

"Professor McGonagall, Crystal isn't well. She's warm, and she said she was dizzy last night. My fellow twin and I were asking on her behalf, because, as you can see, Crystal is asleep, if she could have the day off today. We will take care of her all day." George said in a whisper as if he was pretending not to wake me.

"I'm not stupid Weasley. I know Miss Potter isn't sick but she just needs to get over what happened last night with Sirius Black. I saw her last night. You may accompany her to the Gryffindor common room." I felt Fred nod and begin to walk out.

"Hey Little Chrissy. You can pretend to wake up now." The twins said in unison. We were in their dorm and Fred had just placed me on the bed.

Throughout the day the twins made sure that they really did look after me.

They were doing everything for me, even doing the homework that Ginny gave to Hermione who gave it to Lee who then gave it to Fred and George. (A/N I once again needed to read over that many times.)

"McGonagall just came to tell us that Sirius Black isn't here. She also gave us back your necklace." George shook me awake.

The curtains were open, but it was dark outside.

"And you had to wake me up at this hour?" I mumbled.

"Yes I did. And besides, Fred is bringing food for us." George said, a grin on his face.

I knew how much he loved food.

On cue, Fred walked in with a plate of food along with Lee.

There were sandwiches all over it.

"Where did you get them?" I asked.

"Kitchens." Lee replied.

George picked up two sandwiches and passed one to me.

I ate half of it before giving it to Fred to eat the rest.

"Chrissy." Lee woke me up.

"The twins are getting ready for the Quiddich game. I'm commentating. Do you want to help me?" Lee asked.

I nodded sleepily.

I was still in my pyjamas, so I got up to go back to my dorm to get changed.

"Crystal, here, take one of the twin's spare robes." Lee passed me the oversized robe and I put it on.

It was way too big, but it was a Gryffindor robe and that would have to do.
