Y/n POV

       The next morning goes by in a flash. Molly wakes us all extra early to make sure we aren't late. We all eat a quick breakfast, and head to Kingscross Station. And before I know it, the train is on its way to Hogwarts. I follow the twins into our usual compartment. Lee is already in there.

     "Lee!" I scream and I jump on him, crushing him in a hug.

      "Y/n...can't....breath...ahh.." Lee groans.

      "Um, lovey you're crushing him to death." Fred adds. I let go of Lee and he takes a deep breath.

       "Merlin, y/n, you start lifting weights?" Lee says, fiddling with his collar.

       "Nope! Just happy to see you! How have you been?" We take our usual seats, George and Lee sit together and Fred and I across from them. Lee tells us about his summer.

        "Nothing too exciting. Missed you all a lot!" He says, lightly pushing George. We're all just chatting when Fred inhales sharply.

        "Lee! We invented something new this summer!" Fred says and ushers to George. George pulls the brown sack out of his large coat pocket. Lee tries to take the bag but George draws it back.

        "No touchy!" Lee nods and George opens the bag. Lee gazes into it.

        "They're beautiful!" Lee states. "What are they?"

        "Ton-Tongue Toffees" the twins say in unison. Lee raises his eyebrows, signaling them to continue.

         "Pop one of those suckers in your mouth," Fred starts. "And your tongue will grow,"

         "And grow," George follows.

         "And grow." Fred concludes. He looks at me for approval and I give him some soft applause. "Thank you, thank you, you're too kind!" I roll my eyes. The boys continue talking about all the pranks they're going to pull this year and I lay my head on the window and close my eyes. I don't know how much time went by before Fred begins tapping on my shoulder. "Psst, y/n, come on, I know you aren't sleeping!"

         I reluctantly lift my head. Lee and George are gone. I turn to Fred and rub my eyes. "What do you want? And for your information, I was sleeping"

        "George and Lee left so now I'm bored. It's your job to entertain me!" He gives me a goofy grin. I scoff.

        "No, it is my job to sleep." He pouts. "And it is your job to be my pillow." I lean over and rest my head on his shoulder. His body is tense for a moment and then he eases up. He gently puts his right arm around my shoulders and slowly pulls me closer to him. I close my eyes. He is warm and smells of cinnamon.

      "Erm, y/n, uh, are you cold? I can go get my sweater or anyth-"

     "Fred?"

     "Yeah?"

     "Shut up."

     "Yes ma'am"

Before I get the chance to fall asleep there's a loud scream heard from down the train. Fred lets go of me. We both stand, wands at the ready. George and Lee come rushing in the compartment, eyes wide.

"We've been here the whole train ride, okay?" Lee tells Fred and I and George and him sit down. They pretend to be reading in the Daily Prophet. Fred and I sit back down slowly.

"What did you do?" Fred asks. George lifts the bag of toffees and wiggles it.

"Sold a few to some first years," George says without looking up from the newspaper.

"No way!" Fred says admirably. They high five. I smack Fred and throw my sandal at George. They look at me confused. Lee becomes suddenly very interested in the window.

"You can't do that to first years!" I yell at them. George looks down at his feet. "Any other year you boys can prank. The first years are innocent and they don't know any better."

"That's why they are perfect targets!" George says.

"Exactly." Fred chimes in. I glare at him and he backs down.

"George, honey, any other year. Do you understand me?" He sighs and then nods. "Lee?" Lee nods furiously. "And you Fred?"

"Okay mum" Fred says. I roll my eyes and then fix them on George again.

"Well, how much did you make off of them?" George smiles devilishly and digs into his pocket.

          "Only three sickles, but hey," He meets Fred's eyes. "The Ton-Tongue Toffees are a success!" They both smile. I can't help but smile either. Even though they took advantage of a small child, I was happy for them. This is what they want. "Is that a smile I see?" George asks me. I turn my smile into a frown and shake my head. Fred wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me up to my feet and he and George squeeze me.

"Oh, we know you're upset about the first years," Fred starts, his chin far above my head.

"But we know you're proud of us!" George says. I pull out of the Weasley sandwich.

"Okay, maybe just a little bit." They both nod, happy with my answer, and look at Lee. They three of them do their own hug. "Okay, break it up, break it up!" I say to them. Fred grabs my arm and pulls me back into the group hug. My face is pressed against His chest. His heart thumps loudly. I feel safe in between the three of them. When everyone pulls away, I'm still wrapped in Fred's arms. I look up at him. My face heats up and I pray he can't tell.

"When's the wedding?" I hear George say behind me.

"Oo la la! Can I be a bridesmaid y/n?" Lee says and makes kissing sounds. Fred lets go of me and rolls his eyes at the boys.

"What are you guys? Second year girls?" I say and I pick up the Daily Prophet and begin to beat Lee and George with it. Lee begins to scream bloody murder before I even make contact with the rolled newspaper. In that second when I'm distracted George starts tickling me from behind. I fall to the floor with him, unable to stop laughing. Just then the door slides open. Ginny stands in the doorway, holding her robes. She blinks profusely and looks around the room, not quite understanding what's going on.

"Erm, y/n, I'm about to go change and I was coming by to get you but if you're busy-"

"Not busy!" I begin to stand, George follows. I push George's shoulders and he falls back to the floor. "Let's go." I lean down and slip my sandal back on and close the compartment door behind me. Ginny and I walk to the bathrooms.

"What in Merlins name was going on in there?" Ginny asks, eyebrows raised, mouth slightly open.

"The boys sold a few of their new inventions to some first years-"

"That must have been the scream we heard!" She infers. I nod. "Goodness, I don't know how you spend so much time with them!"

"If I knew Ginny, I would tell you!" We make it to the bathrooms and I change quickly. I glance into the mirror at my tousled hair. How long have I looked this awful? I comb my fingers through it and it obeys. When I look somewhat presentable, I walk out. Ginny is against the wall talking to some girls in her year. She glances at me and holds up one finger. I shake my head and mouth see you soon. She nods. I make my way back to the compartment. The boys have all changed and were fiddling with their ties.

I walk over to Lee and begin tying his tie. "Honestly boys, I don't know what you'd do without me!" The train begins to slow. The breaks screech. I smile and smack Lee's shoulder. "Let's get the show on the road!"
