The Chronicles of Savanna Black

Chapter 20- The Truth

(SAVANNA's POV)

"So, changed your mind?" Lee asked me.

"About what?" I asked and his eyes widened.

"About what?! ABOUT WHAT?!" Fred demanded and I looked at him. "George, are you sure this is Savanna Lily Black and not an impostor?" he asked, looking at his twin.

"I know she's not." George said and I looked at him.

"How can you know?" Lee and Fred both asked.

"I just know." George said as though that settled the matter and then looked at me. "Please tell me you'd say yes." he added.

"I'm sorry George, I can't. But I'll see you at Diagon Alley, I suppose." I said.

"And you'll write me back?" he checked.

"Only if you write me or write me back." I said.

"Consider it done." George said and smiled at me.

It was then that we both realized that the entire compartment had been silent and George and I both turned to stare at Fred and Lee, who were both looking at us, smirking.

"Feel free to snog each other." Lee teased and Fred pretended to blanch.

"Please don't." Fred said.

I smirked at George and leaned forward, a few inches closer to his face and Lee let out a jeer. George smirked and leaned closer, then we both looked at Fred and laughed out loud.

"So, what are your plans, Sav?" George asked.

"This is going to be a weird summer, because I do not know, at least not yet." I answered.

"What do you mean? If you only say yes to coming with us, Savanna!" George said.

"It's kinda weird that I used to know where I will spend summer when Uncle John was still alive, but now, I don't know. It's sad as well." I said.

"Well, you have weeks to decide whether you're coming or not." Fred said and I nodded.

The compartment door slid and Ron looked at Lee, then his brothers and then, his eyes landed on me.

"Er...Savanna, could I please have a word?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah." I answered, surprised at this.

I stood up and followed Ron.

"So, where are we going?" I asked.

"Before we go inside to the compartment I share with Hermione and Harry, I just would like to say I'm sorry, Savanna." he said, turning to me, a little bit awkward. I smiled.

"It doesn't matter anymore, Ron." I answered.

"I was mean to you." he pointed out.

"And yet, you helped Harry with...you know." I said, lowering down my voice.

"It wasn't much." he said.

"But that much changed my life." I said, beaming at him. He smiled and we shook hands.

"Come on, Harry's got something for you, it's from...you know." Ron said.

He slid the compartment door open and I stepped inside, then he followed. Hermione, stood up and moved to the other side to sit and Harry gestured for me to sit next to him.

"So, we heard from your dad." he said and I looked at him. "He's fine, he's somewhere but he didn't say where." he added.

"Thank you for telling me, Harry." I said and smiled at Hermione and Ron as well.
