The Sad Truth

New Friends

"Remember, no one must know you are my daughter" my dad says looking at me worried "Lilian, you do understand how important this is right?" he asks me in front of the train station where we cant be seen.

I look up at him sighing "I know dad, I'm in my third year, I've kept the secret this long, plus I don't really get along with the other Slytherin so no one pays any attention to me, but I don't mind much" I ended smiling up at him. He smiled back and hugged me. I heard the train let off its final whistle and I pull away from my dad "watch me kick ass at the first quidditch match" I waved off.

"young lady you know how I feel about the use of profanity!" he yelled out.

I smiled and smirked in his direction "I'm sorry sir but I don't have the faintest idea on who you are" I yelled back at him before running off to the train.

There were no seats left and I had no where to go so I started moving to the back of the train cart, I stumbled since the train was in motion and not so gracefully fell in a cart. I looked up and saw the Weasley twins "Oh, I'm sorry, I was just looking for somewhere to sit" I said to them before standing up to walk away.

"You can sit with us if you'd like" one of the twins said while pulling me back in the cart. I looked wearily at them but sat down. They just stared at me "George, I see we have the Slytherin good-doer in our cart"

"It seems we do Fred, what shall we do?" says George smiling slyly at me and Fred looks like he's pondering. I knew they have a reputation for pranking people and I don't know what possessed me to stay but I started to feel a little scared so I stood up.

"Um, I think Ill sit else where, I wouldn't want to disturb you any further" I walked to the door when I noticed it started to get cold, the type of cold where you can see your breath. I looked towards Fred and George and noticed they were confused as well. "What's going o-" I began to say but fell back because the train abruptly stopped and when it did the lights went out. I wasn't sure what I was on but I hugged it because I was scared of the dark. A few minutes passed by and I had silent tears; as fast as the lights turned off they turned back on, I saw that I was sitting on Fred's lap and my arms were around his neck. I quickly took my hands off and began to apologize "Fred, I-I'm so sorry, its just that I don't fancy the dark" I heard the cart door open but ignored "it was just so sudden I have no idea what I was thinking, I'm sorry" I say looking down.

Fred wrapped his arms around me hugging me "Don't worry love, accidents happen"

I was going to unwrap myself from his hold when someone said "A Weasley? could you stoop any lower" I groaned realizing who it was "its bad enough you're a half-blood, but I didn't think you could embarrass the Slytherin name any more than what you already have"

I looked up at him "Draco, what a pleasant surprise, oh how I do love our chats" I say sarcastically. "Fred here" I say patting Fred's chest "helped me in my bind, I don't see why its any of your business who my friends are, let alone who I am dating, and before you get your panties in a twist, we aren't dating" I say glaring back at him.

He scoffed "Like I'm going to believe that, you're still sitting on his lap" he says pointing at me and I look down. "you can associate yourself with who ever you want I don't care, you're just making bad company" he says before storming out of the cart.

I released a breath of relief and got off of Fred. "Um, is there anything going on between the two of you?" asks George. I shook my head saying no and scoffed.

"Are you sure? He seemed pretty frustrated when he walked into the cart and I wanted to tease him by hugging you, but he didn't take it like I planned. I expected him to taunt us about our poor attire I didn't expect him to attack you" Fred said apologetically.

I smiled at him "don't worry about it, I'm quite used to it by now, you know since the day I stood up for a Raven Claw my first week at Hogwarts I've kind of been outcasted by almost all the Slytherins and being half-blood doesn't really help my situation either but I'm going strong" I say scratching the back of my neck chuckling a bit.

The twins both stared at me then looked to each other and nodded then looked in my direction. George reached out a hand and so did Fred, they grabbed my arm and sat me in the middle of them "Don't worry, you can stick with us, forget about Harry, Hermione, and Ron. We will be the new golden trio" says George.

"lets make all of Draco's panties in a twist" says Fred chuckling and ruffling my hair while I blush out of embarrassment and happiness.
