A Black And A Weasley.

Part 11

" Okay boys! The year is nearing its end and we need to go out with a boom! We're doing our OWL's next year so we won't have as much pranking time." I explained to the twins, pacing in front of them in the Gryffindor Common room as they sat on the sofa. It was about nine in the evening so everyone was up in there dorms.

" Well the End Of Year Feast is in two days away. After the winner of the House Cup is announced we can always spice things up a bit." Fred suggested.

" That's our opportunity. Now we just need to decide what to do." George then said.

" I've got it." I said smirking evilly at the boys. They just chuckled knowing it was going to be good.

After a day of frantic planning and collecting of supplies we sat with our Gryffindor comrades waiting anxiously for Dumbledore to finish talking. Dumbledore smiled and sat down as food appeared on our tables. I heard a faint crackling that meant our plan was off to a start. Suddenly a massive bang erupted through the hall. Bright, green and silver fireworks filled the Great Hall. Everyone stopped eating, even Ron, and gazed up at the fireworks with looks of confusion and awe across their faces. Then the flash of some red fireworks stood out among the green and silver sparks. The fireworks read: Muggle-borns Rule! The happy cheers of the Muggle borns rang out through the hall. I made eye contact with Hermione and she smiled warmly at me. Once the fireworks died down someone shouted. I turned around to see Argus Filch.

" I found some fireworks Headmaster. If we follow the fuse we'll find out who did it." He grinned evilly towards Fred, George and I. He quickly followed the fuse around the hall. He walked towards us grinning and stopped behind us. " Gotcha!" He cried triumphantly.

" Filch, I don't know if you've noticed but there's still some fuse left." I smirked. People around us chuckled. Filch looked very confused and continued to walk until he got half way up the Slytherin table.

" What is it Argus?" Dumbledore asked from the table.

" It was Malfoy?" Filch called in almost disbelief. Everyone began muttering and whispering about it. Include the twins and I so we didn't draw attention to ourselves. Draco went red with rage. He stood up and loudly left the hall. Crabbe and Goyle followed behind with Pansy Parkinson running along too. Once they left everyone except the Slytherins burst out into laughter. I felt something grip around my hand. I looked up to see George looking down at me lovingly. I smiled and quickly pecked his lips. He smiled back at me cutely.

" Hey look, your locket is purple." Ginny says from across the table.

" That's the way I like it." George says wrapping an arm around my shoulders. Ginny and Hermione erupted into a chorus of awes. We continued with the feast laughing and having a good time with friends.

I was back at home with Uncle Remus for the summer holidays whilst the Weasleys are in Egypt. We're sat at the table eating dinner as usual. " I have some sort of news." Remus announced.

" Oh yeah? Is it another job?"

" Yes. I've been asked to fill the position of Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts." Remus told me smiling. I quickly jumped up from my seat and hugged him.

" That's great Remus!"

" So won't find it weird?"

" Of course not. Just don't think that my behaviour is going to change just because you're there." I chuckled earning a slight shake of the head from Remus but he was smiling none the less. Just then Remus' owl swooped in with The Daily Prophet, it was followed by a school owl with my Hogwarts letter. " Yay OWL's here I come." I said sarcastically.

" They're not that bad." Remus chuckled unfolding the newspaper. Suddenly, all emotion on his face drained away.

" What is it?" I asked curiously. He didn't respond, I started to get worried. " Remus?"

" It can't be." He muttered mainly to himself.

" What?"

" Sirius Black. He's escaped from Azkaban." Remus said simply. My dad was out of there with dementors on his trail. I was overly happy that he had found a way out but I couldn't let that show. I know he's innocent. However everyone else is fairly certain that he lead Voldemort to James and Lily Potter that night. He couldn't have. He wouldn't have.

The rest of the holidays were rather boring. I had constant lectures from Remus reminding me to be careful and not let people get to me. That could land me in major problems. I was going to The Leaky Cauldron to meet the Weasleys before we go back to school. " Remember, Shauna, be-"

" Careful. Yeah I know." I cut him off before being swept away by the floo network. I stumbled out of the fireplace at The Leaky Cauldron. I felt a pair of arms grasp around my waist before I could fall. I looked up to see my boyfriend. George Weasley.

" Hey, I've missed you." George claimed pulling me into a tight hug.

" I've missed you too." I chuckled. He pulled away slightly to give me a sweet, passionate kiss.

" George, are you ready to go yet? Oh what to we have here?" The amused voice of Mrs Weasley asked. Me and George quickly pulled away from each other, pink faced. I turned to see Mrs Weasley stood there with a bright smile. She walked away giggling.

" I've suddenly gotten very nervous." I comment.

" Yeah, me to." George replied sounding slightly scared.

We walked around Diagon Alley getting the usual stuff. By we I mean Fred, George, Lee and myself. The twins and I had separated from the rest of the Weasleys and found Lee. As we walked down the cobbled streets posters of him were everywhere. Sirius Black. There was no escaping it. George clearly noticed I was uncomfortable and held my hand tightly in his, reassuring me. I gave him a warm smile as thanks. I think I can get through this year as long as I have my friends and boyfriend by my side.

" Okay, Shauna, remember if the dementors come near you-"

 " Use the charm Expecto Patronum. I know, you've told me about five times today already." I giggle. He smiles and ruffles my hair. Once on the train I find Fred and George sat together in a compartment. I go in and join them and we have a fairly peaceful ride, until they came on. Dementors. They got on the bloody train.

" Why is it so cold?" Fred asked shivering.

" It's so gloomy." Added George.

" They're Dementors it's what they do." I mutter. Suddenly a boney, black, spindly hand curves its way around our compartment door. Slowly, a dementor emerges. It looks around for Dad. It looks at me for a while. It looked intrigued. It got right up to my face. " Expecto Patronum!" I called. Then a large dog protruded from the tip of my wand chasing away the dementor. Fred and George both looked at me. Looks of worry and curiosity found their way onto their faces. Soon after the train started moving again and Remus came into our compartment with chocolate on hand. He passed it to me.

" What happened?" He asked me as he sat beside me.

" The dementor. It came in and looked around. Then it looked straight at me for a while. It looked confused. Then it came right up to my face and I used the Patronus Charm." I explained to him. he nodded.

" And you boys are you okay?" Remus asked Fred and George.

" Yeah we'll be alright." They both stated calmly.

" Good. Well you'd best be getting into your robes, we should be arriving soon." Remus said smiling gently.
