The Potter Twins and the Philosopher's Stone

Shit.

**Fred's POV**
We all split up, starting to look for the Fat Lady. George was with me, Emilia was with Harry (of course), and Hermione, Ron, Neville, and Draco were together as none of them could've been put into pairs of two.

"Oi, Freddy?" I looked over at George who was still looking around for the Fat Lady. "I think I fancy Katy."

"Katy, as in Katy Belle? From Quidditch?" A mischievous smile appeared across my face from ear to ear. "Awesome mate! When are you gonna tell her?"

"What?!" He came to a sudden stop. "I ain't telling her nothing!"

"And why not, Georgie?" I smirked.

"Because! She's a girl! And girls are scary!"

"Mate, just go up to her and say it. Simple."

"Simple? Alright then. You go up to Emilia and tell her you love her then. Simple."

I froze in my tracks, stomach falling to the floor.

"I- I, I don't fancy Emilia. She's a first year! Besides, we're friends, Georgie." George rolled his eyes at me, beginning to walk again.

"I see the way you look at her, mate. And see, it ain't easy admitting feelings for someone you love!"

"I do not love Emilia Potter! I don't even like her!"

Silence. I turned my head, feeling someone watching me. Standing there at the other side of the dark corridor was the short little first year twins.

"Shit."

Emilia turned and quickly walked the other way, not daring look back or stop. Harry looked at me with a look of confusion, but also a look that could kill, then ran after Emilia.

"What did I do?" I muttered. George gently put his hand on my shoulder.

"Sorry mate. This is my fault."

"No, no it's not." I turned to face him. "Come on. Let's just go find the Fat Lady so we can just go to bed."

**Harry's POV**

It was pretty obvious to see Emi had a crush on Fred, and even though I didn't like it, I still wanted her to be happy. I ran after her, trying to keep as quiet as I could as it was probably half past midnight at this point.

"Emi!" I whisper yelled. "Emi, come on, we have to find the Fat Lady." Emi stopped walking and turned to me, letting me see her puffy eyes from trying to hold back tears. I opened up my arms and she fell into them, hugging my as if it were the last few seconds on earth.

"You're as observant as a brick wall, Harry, you know that?" she mumbled into my shoulder jokingly. I smiled.

"I know, but at least I knew you liked Fred." I didn't need to see her face to know she was rolling her eyes at me. "Hey, it's alright. I'm here."

"I know you are, Harry, and I know you always will be, but Fred was the first person outside of you that made me feel welcomed and wanted. I thought he at least liked me platonically, but no," she muttered, burying her head deeper into my shoulder.

"He's a twat, don't mind him. Come on. Let's go find Ron and Hermione." She nodded, lifting her head. Taking her hand in mine, we started walking off.

**Hermione's POV**

"SHUT IT!" I yelled. "All of you, stop arguing or I'll cut your tongues out!" I snapped. Draco and Ron had been arguing and nearly got into a fist fight until we heard a Prefect come around the corner and had to hide.

"It's been nearly an hour, 'Mione. Why don't we just head back to the portrait. Maybe she's gone back," Ron whined. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine. It is getting quite late." We all started walking when we ran into Fred and George.

"Fred, George, we're heading back to the portrait." Ron explained.

"Well, I don't need to be here. See ya, losers," Draco strutted off. We all glared after him, all wishing he'd trip down the stairs on the way back to the Slytherin Common Room.

"Where's Harry and Emilia?" Fred asked, almost worried.

"Last I saw them they said they were on their way to find you," I shrugged. "Why? What's happened?"

"Um..." the twins looked at each other nervously. Before I could scold them, a loud, blood churning scream ran through the halls.

"EMI!" another voice yelled out that could only be Harry. We all bolted in the direction of the scream, and by the looks on everyone's faces, we all knew what was happening, and even though we were all running to get there, none of us wanted to see it.
