*Haylie's POV*

The summer was spent practicing Quidditch and pranking people. Charlie was moving out the day we were going back to school. I hugged him as we walked down the stairs grabbing last minute things we would need before we had to leave.

"Hey Charlie?" I asked my older brother.

"Yes Lie?" he answered ruffling my hair.

"When will I see you again?" I asked my voice sounding childish for a 12 year old's. I looked up at my older brother.

"I don't know." He said "But ill tell you what. I will send you a picture of some of the dragons I take care of. Deal?" He asked

I nodded. Smiling at the thought.

Soon enough we were all being rushed out of the house to Kings cross station. As I boarded the train with Fred, George, Percy, and Ron. I waved goodbye to Ginny, Mum, Dad, and Charlie who would be leaving on another train for Romania.

The train ride was long and I sat there listening to Fred, George, and Ron argue the whole ride. I interjected when I felt the need to but otherwise I sat there and read a book. My twin brothers were trying to scare Ron with tails of what goes on in the castle (most of which weren't actually true). As my brothers continued to tag team against Ron I caught Fred's eye. I had always liked Fred the best out of all my brothers. Most people couldn't tell the difference between my twin brothers but there was a very defined difference.

Fred winked at me as he explained about how the staircases would throw you off them if they didn't like you. I started to bust up laughing making George glare at me and Fred watch me in amusement. I sat there laughing for a long time. Ron just stared in bewilderment at me.

I sat there laughing for a good ten minutes. When I finally caught my breath again Ron was looking at me like id finally lost it. George was glaring at me for blowing his cover and Fred was just staring at me.

"Sorry." I giggled. "Funny part..." I covered up lamely.

Ron just nodded looking pail. George sent one more glare my way. and Fred smiled at my lame cover up.

I sat there and listened as George went back to scaring Ron and Fred just sat there watching me discreetly. Or so he thought. We finally arrived at Hogwarts and Ron went with the rest of the first years to the boats. We all went to the carriages. I walked up to it then froze.

Fred and George looked at me funny but I just stared at the beast pulling the thing. "What is it?" I whispered.

"What is what Haylie?" Fred asked taking my arm looking worried.

"The thing pulling the carriage." I stated taking a step back.

"There is nothing there Haylie." George stated.

I shook my head and decided to ignore the "thing". We went up to the school and into great hall and waited for the sorting ceremony to start our new year.
