"We have some interesting news for you," George teased, bursting into my room at Grimmauld Place.
"I'm sure," I rolled my eyes in response.
"It's about Harry," Fred grinned mischievously.
"Harry?" Ron stood up. "What's happened?"
"Rumour has it there was a dementor attack on him and he had to use magic, could be expelled for that you know," said Fred.
"We're very proud," added George, underaged magic was their specialty after all.
It was coming up to the end of summer, meaning school would soon be starting up again. Fred and I hadn't spoken much since school ended, we'd only been around each other for a few days, but it was different to how it had been the last school year. We'd roll our eyes to each other any time somebody said something ridiculously annoying or stupid, we'd share unspoken jokes across the table at meal times, it was like our own little reality that no one else could be part of.
"They can't possibly expel him for that," I argued, "it was an act of self defence, that would be completely unfair."
"When has the school board ever cared about being fair?" said George as him and Fred made their way out of the room.
Not even 10 minutes later, the door opened again, "Harry!" I cried, wrapping my arms tightly around him. "The school simply can't expel you, it wouldn't be fair."
Harry seemed distant, "Why didn't you write to me? Not a single letter."
"We wanted to..." Ron looked at me for guidance.
"Dumbledore made us swear not to tell you anything," I blurted.
"Why would he do that?" Harry inquired.
At that moment, Fred and George apparated into the room, I jumped slightly.
"Don't you lot wanna hear something more interesting?" Fred winked at me as he led us to the top of the stairs.
I felt relieved that I didn't have to spend anymore time feeling guilty about Harry or coming up with answers that I simply didn't know.
"We shouldn't eavesdrop," I said, watching the twins lower an oddly large ear to the bottom of the staircase.
"Come on, Granger," George started.
"Live a little," Fred teased.
