Into Another World

Chapter 23

Waking up the next morning, I caught sight of two red heads rushing out of my room. With a slight scowl, I caught sight of the tray of food on my nightstand. Suddenly the frown turned upside down!

Grabbing the tray, I picked up the bowl of cereal and saw the tea. It was colored differently from its natural color. Looking at it, I caught sight of something peculiar. Hearing a strange noise near my door, I didn't get a chance to check out the tea when I saw the brown eyes of the Weasley twins.

Glaring at them, I hopped out of bed and opened my door. They toppled into the room as a heap on the floor. Shaking my head at them, they looked up at me with sheepish smiles. Walking back into my room I grabbed the tea off the tray and walked back over to them.

Choosing between the two twins was difficult. One of them I loved and couldn't possibly hurt him, but he hurt me with the bloody word friend. The other twin did nothing to me.

Choosing the older twin, I grabbed his collar of his shirt and lifted his face up. Opening his mouth, I poured the liquid down his throat and saw him cringe. A second later he apparated away. Hearing the bathroom door slam a few floors down, I realized that they put one of their products in the tea. It was of course the puking pastille they have been working on for months.

Chuckling silently, I walked over to my dresser and grabbed my outfit for the day. Changing quickly, I then walked out of my room and headed downstairs.

Entering the kitchen, I made my own food not trusting the other foods that were on the tray in my room. After a couple of seconds, Fred walked into the kitchen and glared at me.

With a chuckle I let the first thing in my head pop out of my mouth. "You got what you deserved."

"Haha thanks Thornberry... I'll get you at some point. I at least know that our product works. I just can't wait to get out of school so me and George can start our own store!"

With a small nod, I stuffed my face with my breakfast. The twins had a dream that they would open their own shop called Weasley Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley once school was over.

It was only a matter of time until another war was in our hands since Harry saw He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named return last year. Remembering the terrible school year with Cedric Diggory's death, I let out a small shiver.

With a loud thud, everyone else ran into the kitchen ready to go to Diagon Alley. Grabbing a hold of Lily and Ginny's hands, I apparated us to Diagon Alley. We quickly went shopping for our school supplies and went back to Grimmauld place as soon as possible.

At our return, Mrs. Weasley took count to make sure we were all back safely. Taking my things, I apparated to my room and put my things into my Hogwarts trunk.

Hearing a slight knock on my door I turned around to see Fred enter my room.

"Hey Delilah, are you all packed for Hogwarts? Cause if you are, can you help me pack?"

With a small nod I walked behind Fred towards his room. Entering the room, I saw George laying on his bed. With a small wave he turned to Fred.

"She accepted our need of help?"

With a questioning glance at Fred when I heard the word our, I glared at his sheepish smile. Taking out my wand, I packed everything into both of their trunks. With a small look of disbelief, I walked out of their room.

Fred's POV
"Man I can't believe she packed both of our trunks... She must have it bad."

"George what in the bloody hell are you talking about? What does Delilah have bad?"

"Hmm... It seems worse than I feared. Maybe we should get you both checked out for St. Mungos."

With those words from George he put his hand on my forehead like he was checking for a fever.

"Well your temperature seems fine. Your heart is going at 180 mph though. Man you both have it bad..."

With his words, I've come to a realization. Maybe Delilah likes me back! Maybe that's why she wouldn't tell me who she liked. Or I could be reading into this too much.

"George, does Delilah like me? If you knew what's good for you, you would tell me the truth."

With a small grin, George walked towards the door. Turning around, he finally spoke words that confused me, "That's for me to know and you to find out!"

Leaving the room, George let out a small chuckle. I followed after questioning him. Halfway down the stairs, I stopped my bickering with my brother when I ran into Delilah. Letting out a cough, George walked down the rest of the steps leaving me alone with the most beautiful woman I've ever met.

Grabbing her hand, I asked her if I could talk to her in private. I was going to tell her. It was now or never and I had the confidence to do it.

Dragging her into my bedroom, I started talking.

"Delilah I have something important I would like to tell you."

With a small nod from Delilah, I decided to continue speaking.

"Well you see, I've developed some feelings recently..."

Halfway through my speech, Sirius walked into the room.

"Delilah, I need you at the moment. It's quite important."

With a shake of her head she turned to me and whispered sorry. She walked out of the door, and just like that my confidence walked out with her.
