After the amazing breakfast, I decided to wonder around outside for awhile. It had been so long since I was outside. Being able to feel the comforting warmth of the sun was almost like a blessing. Having the soft grass greet my bare feet like comfy padded cushions was one of the things I missed the most.

I just stood still for awhile, taking in the slight breeze that blew in from the North. There was something so soothing about hearing the sounds of nature, almost felt like I was in a meditative state.

"Must be nice to walk in the grace of the sun again," George says as both twins stand on either side of me. I did my best not to flinch at their closeness, I knew they meant no harm but old habits are hard to break, traumas are even harder to fix.

I let out a peaceful sigh "It is 1000x better that dwelling in the dark dreary cell I was imprisoned in,"

"Anything seems better than that," Fred says looking down at me as I was slightly shorter than him.

"It was the torture that drained me the most. Happened so often that I no longer seem to feel pain," I truthfully state sadly looking up at both of them, as they now stood in front of me. I wasn't going to open up to anyone just yet, however this piece of information I was willing to share in hopes that one day I could get rid of the death eaters and lock them away. So nobody else had to go through what I did.

"That's awful," George says picking up my left arm which was permanently branded with the word Bloodtraitor as was my other arm. He ran the pad of his thumb over the faded scar, a extremely sorry look in his dark brown eyes.

"We'll do everything we can to make you feel better," Fred says tucking a strand of loose hair, that escaped from my braid, behind my ear and I felt a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach along with heat flushing me cheeks. On top of these new feelings I also felt a sense of hope.

It had been a long time since I felt the feeling of hope, and with the Weasley's I actually felt safe. "I'm grateful for that boys," I say giving them a genuine smile, something I hadn't been able to do since I was 3.

Just then an owl came flying into the yard, carrying some letters in its beak. It was a common barn owl but it was extremely cute. I really love animals and have since I was little.

The bird landed on the ground at my feet. "Aren't you a sweet thing," I say bending down to pet the owl. Gently I grabbed the letters from the owl who hooted happily, gave me a loving nip on my finger, then flew away again.

The letters were addressed to me.

Dear Miss Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Inside you will find a list of school supplies that you will need for your classes. Start of term is September 1st and we expect an owl from you no later than August 31st.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts.

My eyes grew wide as I read over the letter a few more times, trying to process what I just read. How did the headmaster know I was back? More importantly, did he know where I was all this time?

The second letter stated that since I'd be started in my third year, the first few months of school would be used for me to catch up to everyone else. I'd still be in classes with other third years, I'd just be learning first and second year things. Also I was to be sorted before the first years.

A smile was plastered to my face. It had always been a dream of mine to attend the school. Ever since dad told me the stories of his adventures with Uncle Remus and Uncle Sirius. Although they weren't biologically my uncles, my dad had always considered them his brothers. Remus was also my godfather. I'd love to see them again.

"That's strange, usually McGonagall is the one to send the Hogwarts letters," George says with a puzzled look.

"You're right Georgie, it is very strange," Fred says giving me an amusing look.

Looking up at the twins, I gave them a confused look "How does he know I'm alive? And how did he know I was here?"

"Nothing gets past that man, he's the most powerful wizard," they both say together. It's weird how they do that but still very intriguing, none the less.

After that we went back inside to see Ginny chasing Ron around the entire house, which was definitely a sight to see. Poor Ron looked absolutely terrified as the young Weasley girl bolted, quite impressively, after him.

He must've done something pretty bad that made Ginny chase after him. When they raced by, there was clear anger written on the little girls face. While Ron looked like he was about the piss himself out of pure terror.

"What the devil is going on in here?" Molly yells when she notices the commotion caused by the two.

"We have no idea," The three of us say in perfect harmony, which made us giggle.

"Freddie I think we found our long lost triplet," George chuckled which made me shake my head.

"Just because we said something together, are the same age and a have similar hair color doesn't make us triplets," Fred and I state at the same time which made George sigh.

He gasps placing a hand over his heart "NOW SHES TRYING TO REPLACE ME," then proceeded to be a drama queen.

I giggled "I'm not trying to replace you George. Those were merely a coincidence," I reassured him while Fred shook his head.

"Such a drama queen Georgie," he says helping his brother up off the floor.

Just then Ron came bolting into the room and out of the house. Ginny was not far behind him, but she stopped in front of us, laughing as Ron slammed the door shut behind him. Panting hardly, she bent down to catch her breath while trying to control her laughing.

"What the bloody hell was that about Gin," the twins say as Ginny's breathing begins to regulate again.

"He tried to jump scare me earlier, so I put a fake spider on his shoulder and he began freaking out so I grabbed the plastic spider and began chasing him around with it," she says making us laugh.

"Poor Ron," I state as I felt bad for him, for I am also afraid of spiders.

"Eh, Ikle Ronniekins deserved it. We are going to prank the hell out of him when we get back to school," George says high giving his twin.

"If you even think about pranking Harry, then it will be the last time you ever prank," I state and their eyes go wide.

"Roger that,"

"An overprotective sister..."

"Is way worse than....."

"An overprotective brother," they says finishing each others sentences.

"And you'll do well to remember it," Molly says from the doorway of the kitchen.

"We will Mum,"..........
