  The ride on the carriages to Hogwarts was full of commotion and chaos to say the least. Fred and George made a second year Hufflepuff sit with them, scaring her half to death by eating one of their fainting candies. "Fred Weasley i will not hesitate to hex you!" Audrey yelled, holding the Hufflepuff in her arms calming the crying girl down.

  "Calm down love it was a little prank." Fred said huffing at his girlfriend, he loved her but sometimes she annoyed him greatly she tended to act like his mum when he pranked people making Audrey ruin the fun for him. "She's a little girl Fred couldn't you have done it to someone older?" Audrey scolded making Lorelei huff. "I thought it was funny." the brunette stated making her get slapped by her best friend.

  "You're just as bad." Audrey huffed jumping out of the carriage walking with the little girl making sure she got to the other Hufflepuff without any harm. Audrey sat down next to Hermione who smiled. "What's wrong Audrey?" Ron asked, raising an eyebrow at the usually happy girl. "Your brother." "oh no you two aren't already calling quits?" Hermione asked, frowning at the girl. "Merlin no! He just doesn't know when to be nice to anyone." Audrey said watching Fred sit next to George a few seats away sending her a sad look.

  Audrey quickly looked away, turning back to Harry, smiling softly. "Had a good summer harry?" she asked making the Gryffindor blush "oh um yeah it was brilliant." he said smiling. "How about you Audrey any fun things?" Hermione asked, making the seventh year smile at all the fifth years, "oh not really spent most of it cleaning with my mum and swimming in the lake with Lorelei." she said smiling and turning to the staff table ending the conversation.

  "He's not there." Harry said, catching Audrey's attention, "pardon me who?" she asked making harry turn to her "Hagrid." he sent Hermione and Ron a look making Audrey huff wanting nothing more than to sit next to Lorelei who was talking to Angelina, she noticed the looks Angelina was sending Fred making Audrey glare. 'Stop she helped you get Fred.' her voice in her head said. 'But she probably thinks you and him are over and can make a move.' the voice said again making Audrey glare at the table ignoring the looks the trio sent her.

  Audrey had missed the sorting ceremony thinking about Fred and Angelina making her look up when Dumbledore began talking To our newcomers!" Dumbledore said in a ringing voice, his arms stretched wide a beaming smile on his lips. "Welcome! To our old hands- welcome back! There is a time for speech making, but this is not it. Tuck in!" an outbreak of applause broke out as Dumbledore sat down neatly and threw his long beard over his shoulder so as to keep it out of the way.

  Audrey picked at her bread not feeling like eating. She put it down looking over seeing Fred staring at her already. He sent her a wink making Audrey roll her eyes. "Oi, Addie come sit over here!" Fred said, making the girl shake her head no. "there isn't any room." she stated making Fred smirk. "What makes you think I won't make room hm?" he yelled back making the girl blush when most people from Gryffindor looked at her and moved away from Fred not wanting him to make them.

  She sighed, getting up and sitting next to Fred glaring at the table. "See I told you." Fred whispered, moving her hair to leave a small peck on her neck, leaving the girl to shudder. "Shut up." she mumbled, grabbing some soup and pumpkin juice drinking it quickly. "Hi Audrey how have you been?" Angelina asked, making the blonde look at her roommate, a small frown on her face. "Good you?" she asked, making Angelina smile.

  "Well I'm quidditch captain this year so excited." the dark skinned girl stated turning back to Katie Johnson whispering to each other. When all the students had finished eating and the noise level in the hall was starting to creep upward again, Dumbledore got to his feet once more. Talking ceased immediately as all turned to face the head-master. "Well, now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of-term notices." Dumbledore said. "First years ought to know that the forest in the grounds is out of bounds to students -- and a few of our older students ought to know by now too."

  Fred and George shared a look of amusement, they tended to break that rule a lot then even took Audrey and Lorelei making Audrey hold onto Lorelei scared to death of most things in there, especially spiders. That's the main thing Audrey and Ron have in common: their fear of spiders, when George pranked her with one her third year she punched him giving him a black eye for weeks and Fred teased him for it for months.

  "Mr. filch, the caretaker, has asked me, for what he tells me is the four hundred and sixty-second time, to remind you all that magic is not permitted in corridors between classes, nor are a number of other things, all of which can be checked on the extensive list now fastened to Mr. filch's office door. We have had two changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back professor Grubbly-Plank, who will be taking care of magical creatures lessons; we are also delighted to introduce professor Umbridge, our new defense against the Dark Arts teacher."

  There was a round of polite but fairly unenthusiastic applause during which the four shared a slightly panicked look. Dumbledore continued, "Tryouts for the house quidditch teams will take place on the-'' Dumbledore stopped talking looking over at professor Umbridge who was standing up and made a "hem hem" noise like she was clearing her throat.

  "What the heck?" Audrey said, turning to Fred who shrugged, grabbing her hand under the table, rubbing his thumb over her fingers trying to ease her. "Thank you headmaster." Professor Umbridge simpered, "for those kind words of welcome." her voice was high pitched, breathy, and a little-girlie. "Yuck." Lorelei stated cringing at the new professor hating her girly tone and outfit. "Looks like a flamingo puked on her." Lorelei added making the four hold back laughter.

  Audrey took in the new professor's speech not liking the sound of it. "Bloody hell she's worse than Percy, never thought I'd meet someone worse than that git." George stated making Fred agree. "She had some important statements though." Audrey said, making Fred let go of his girlfriend's hand "excuse you what? Don't tell me you like her, Addie, darling, love, I'm sorry but if you like her this relationship will be on pause." Fred said dramatically, making Audrey roll her eyes at the boy.

  "No I don't like her, i was trying to say that if you payed attention she basically said the ministry's taking over Hogwarts.'' Audrey said standing up and walking towards the exit ready to go to sleep in her boyfriend's arms. "Oh, see this is why we are together, you have the brains while I have the looks!" Fred said, putting his arm on her lower back, turning to George to plan pranks on their new professor as a 'welcoming.'
