November 17th, 1995

It was 12:00 am on a Friday night and Aquila was changing into clothes for the party Fred begged her to go to. She wore a black crop top with a cropped black leather jacket. She also wore black ripped jeans with boots. Her wavy brown hair was let down neatly brushed. She left her dark cold room and headed towards the Slytherin common room door. At the entrance of the door, there stood the handsome tall redhead himself. Fred wore a red flannel with blue jeans. The shirt matched perfectly with his fiery red hair. Fred eyed her up and down, licking his lip. He felt bad for looking at her in that way, but he couldn't do so. He quickly took himself out of the trance and broke the silence.

" Looking good Phoenix!", Fred cheerfully complimented her, earning a smile from Aquila.

"Keep it in your pants Weasley ", she fired back. Fred laughed and guided her towards the Gryffindor common room. Once they arrived Fred verbalized the password and the doors slowly opened, showing the warm and cozy room. When they entered, they saw the people in the part sitting in a circle and cheering.

"What's going on?", Aquila asked curiously.

"I don't know, let's go see." Fred walked towards the circle, and Aquila following. Fred stopped walking once he reached the circle.

"What are you guys up to?", He asked in a cheerful tone.

"We're playing spin the bottle. Wanna play Freddie?", The same blonde-haired girl from the day before asked. Fred looked at Aquila as in for permission to play. Aquila thought about it and agreed to play. They sat next to each other, knees accidentally touching. Aquila blushed and looked away. The blonde-haired girl looked at Aquila menacingly and narrowed her eyes at her. Aquila knew that girl had a problem with her, and she was gonna have fun with that.

"Hey Weasley.", Aquila whispered into Fred's ear while making eye contact with the blonde-haired girl. Fred looked at her and hummed in response. "Who's that blonde girl from yesterday?". Fred rolled his eyes and whispered back into her ear.

"That's Rebecca Samuels. She isn't the most pleasant person to be around with as you saw yesterday. Her parents are muggles" Aquila looked back at Rebecca and saw Rebecca frowning at her with her fists closed. That's where Aquila realized that Rebecca has a crush on Fred, and she's just jealous. Aquila gave her a dangerous grin. Then a similar voice to Fred's spoke up.

"Okay, I'll go first.", George spoke as he grabbed the bottle and spun it. Everyone looked at the bottle calmly, until it reached a slow pace that made everyone be in suspense. Then, the bottle stopped. George looked up and saw that it landed in front of his brother, Fred. George grinned mischievously.

"Oh god.", Fred said as he dropped his forehead in his hand.

"Oh, Fred... truth or dare?", George asked.

"Dare.", Fred responded with no hesitation.

"Smell the feet of everyone in the room, and rank them from best to worst.", Fred dared after laughing hysterically afterward. Fred frowned at him and then took a deep breath. Everyone looked at him trying to hide their laughs, as they took off their shoes and socks. Fred first smelled Aquila's feet. He looked at her and gave her a chef's kiss movement. This made Aquila laugh. Then he smelled Harry's feet, Ron's feet, George's feet, Angelina's feet, and finally Rebeccas. He fake gagged after he smelled Rebeccas and she frowned. Fred crawled back to his spot next to Aquila and began to rate the smells from best to worst.

"Number one goes for Harry, he has like a baby powder smell. It's weird.", Everyone laughed at his comment. "Phoenix goes for second place. They smell a bit like chocolate.", Aquila looked at him weirdly and chuckled. "Angelina is third place, Ron goes fourth, George goes-", Fred continued but then got interrupted.

"What?! How am I in fourth place? My feet smell like flowers!", George exclaimed making everyone laugh. Fred rolled his eyes playfully and continued.

"Lastly, I'm sorry Rebecca but they don't smell the best.", He said. Everyone laughed and Rebecca huffed. Fred grabbed the bottle and said,

"Alright, I'll go next." He spun the bottle and then it slowly landed on Aquila. He gave a smirk and she rolled her eyes.

"Truth or dare Phoenix?", Fred asked while looking at her mischievously.

"Um.. dare.", Aquila responded with a bit of hesitation.

"I dare you to sit on my lap for the next four rounds.", He said with a grin on his face. Aquila furrowed her eyebrows.

"Sit on you what now?", Aquila asked clearly shocked by what he just said.

"I dare you to sit on my lap.", Fred repeated. Aquila sighed and crawled on to Fred's lap, and Fred put his arms around her.

"Don't cream your pants, Weasley.", Aquila joked. Fred laughed at her comment and the game proceed. Aquila spun the bottle and then asked Harry when was the last time he wet the bed. Then Harry spun and then dared Rebecca to lick the floor. Everyone gagged out of disgust. Next, it was Rebecca's turn. Rebecca looked at Aquila and grinned.

"Phoenix, truth or dare?", Rebecca asked.

"You have to spin the bottle first sweety, you can't get to me that easily.", Aquila laughed at Rebecca's grudge towards her. Rebecca glared at Aquila, anger rising within her. The blonde ended up spinning the bottle and dares Angelina to kiss George. Fred put his head on Aquila's shoulders and whispered into her ear if she wanted to ditch. Aquila checked the time and the clock said it was 1:00 am. She nodded, and they left without anyone noticing. They quietly walked through the Hogwarts corridors and went up the stairs while observing the beautiful night sky. They soon arrived at the Astronomy Tower and stood in front of the rales. They both stared into the sky until Fred broke the silence. 

"Tell me about yourself.", Fred said as he shifted his gaze at Aquila. Aquila tilted her head and furrowed her eyebrows. 

"What do you want to know?", Aquila asked. 

"Everything.", Fred expressed. Aquila shifted her gaze back to the twilight colored sky. Aquila was like a locked book, she never let herself be read. She was like a forbidden book, but the limits were put on by her. Aquila forbids people from knowing about her, and she forbids herself from letting herself open up. If there's something her father has taught her, it's to not trust people so easily and to only trust those who are worthy of knowing you. Aquila doesn't know if Fred is worthy of knowing her, not yet at least. Not even her friend Victoria knows much about her, and she's the closest thing she has to a friend at Hogwarts. She's always disguised her true feelings like camouflage. Aquila believed she's lost too much due to trusting people easily, she's lost the love of her mother and the live presence of her brother Peter. 

"There's not much to know.", Aquila said as she let go of the astronomy tower rales and walked away from the red-headed boy. Little by little, the only thing Fred could see was Aquila's shadow, until it completely disappeared. Leaving Fred alone and confused in the tower.
