Aquila and Fred have been hanging out for a significant amount since that day in the Gryffindor Common Room. They have sneaked out of their dorms to pull pranks on teachers, that they would either wake up to or find eventually. One time, they took Professor Snape's black robe from his potions classroom and painted it purple. When Professor Snape found them at the scene of the crime, both of them ended up in a week's detention and Fred received a howler from his mother, Molly Weasely.

Aquila has been hiding her growing friendship with Fred from her family and fellow Slytherins. Her mother and father were never fond of the Weasley's, due to their muggle loving nature. Aquila's father was less strict to the hatred towards muggles, he was actually quite curious about them. Her mother, on the other hand, had a deep hatred towards muggles and muggle-borns. Her mother has always told her to stay away from blood traitors and anything related to muffles. Aquila's friend, Victoria, is a half-blood but Aquila's parents were accepting of that since her father does great work for the ministry and is of high class. Fred on the other hand has shared his developing friendship with his twin brother George. He knows his parents will find out eventually about his friendship with Aquila Phoenix, and that they won't be too happy about it considering they're relationship with her family, but his parents would never force him to stop being friends with her. Today, Aquila found herself in the Slytherin common room writing in her black journal.

Sometimes I think about not even trusting myself when I look in the mirror. People say mirrors lie and only let you see what you desire most, or what you hate the most about yourself. I struggle to put my trust in others because my trust has destroyed many lives. There's a constant doubt in the back of my head that won't let me express how I feel. Sometimes I know that someone will never hurt me, but knowing that just makes me betray myself for them. I sabotage my life just to prepare for what's worst and it doesn't help me feel any better. So when you asked me to tell you something about myself, I said there's not much to know. I said that because what's to know, is what should be kept underground and away from all ears.

"Hey, Aquila!", greeted a voice behind her. She turned around and saw her friend Victoria walking towards her. Aquila smiled at her and scooted towards one side of the leather sofa to let her friend sit. "What are you up to?", Victoria asked. Aquila closed her journal and put it next to her.

"Nothing much, I was just writing.", Aquila answered.

"About?", Victoria asked wanting to know. Then a deeply hated voice was heard behind them.

"Probably writing about how her mommy despises her, am I right Phoenix?", said Pansy, a short-haired brunette Slytherin girl. Aquila frowned and stood up aggressively walking towards Pansy.

"Shut it Parkinson or I'll peel your greasy skin off that hideous pug face of yours at such a slow pace that it will hurt like hell.", Aquila threatened, immediately intimidating the girl. Pansy turned around and speed-walked away from Aquila and Victoria. Aquila sighed and turned around to look at Victoria.

"I'm going to go for a walk around the school, I'll see you later.", Aquila said her goodbyes and exited the Slytherin common room. She took a stair leading to the seventh floor from the dungeons and walked through the seventh-floor corridor. As she walked quietly she heard whispers and quiet fast steps towards her left. She furrowed her eyebrows and quietly followed the sounds at a stealthy pace.

"Quick we're gonna be late!", a voice whisper shouted to someone. Aquila hid behind a wall and took a quick peek, seeing Fred and George rushing towards a wall. Why are walking towards a wall? she asked herself. The boys started walking past a door that suddenly appeared three times and then it slowly opened. Then she heard the door close loudly.

"How the hell am I supposed to get in there?", Aquila thought to herself out loud. She walked past the door in thought. She was curious about what Fred and George were up to. Then all of a sudden the door opened. Aquila looked up and saw Harry Potter with a bunch of Gryffindors and a few people from other houses. She stood in front of the door, and then she felt a pair of eyes on her.

"What are you doing here?", Harry asked looking at Aquila with suspicious eyes as he looked at her green robe. He quickly walked towards her and yanked her arm harshly and shitting the room's door.

"What is this place?", Aquila asked while looking around the room. She saw how there was a bright fireplace right at the very end of the room, and there were big windows that a light blue shine came from.

"How did you find us? Who sent you?", Harry asked while still holding a grip of her arm. Aquila harshly made Harry lose his grip on her and looked at him furiously.

"Listen here Potter, nobody sent me. I was just walking around the seventh floor, found this door, walked past it, and it all of a sudden opened.", Aquila explained glaring at him. Harry narrowed his eyes at her.

"Phoenix is that you?", she heard a voice say. She looked to her side and saw Fred walking towards her.

"You two know each other?", asked Ron walking towards the pair. Fred simply nodded at Ron, and Ron furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Fred looked over at George for help, and George was grinning like an Idiot. "Harry, I think we can trust her. She won't tell anyone what we're up to. Plus, she hates Umbridge... she totally ridiculed her a few weeks ago.", Fred tried to convince Harry to trust the Slytherin girl. Harry glared at Aquila and sighed.

"Well, it's already about time we ended the class for today. So Phoenix can join after the Holiday's which is when our next class should be. I just wanted to say to all of you that you have all done a great job, and I can't wait to start these classes again! Good job everyone!", Harry congratulated. Everyone began to clap. Aquila was really confused about why everyone was clapping, but she did so anyway. Fred smiled and mouthed 'thank you' at Harry.

"Well Phoenix, this is the Room of Requirments. We're here because we are practicing actual Defense Against the Dark Arts unlike what Umbridge has been teaching us this year. We're hidden in here because we don't want her to find out about it.", Fred explained as they walked out of the Room of Requirments. Aquila's eyes widened and had an angry expression on her face.

"How could you not tell me?! I got slapped in the fucking face after standing up to her!", Aquila protested angrily. Fred sighed and nodded.

"I know, I should've told you. Harry just didn't trust any Slytherins, so he told us not to invite anyone from that house. To be fair, we didn't even talk when this started. But, you've found us so that's good.", Fred explained. Aquila's frown softened, but she was still kind of mad for him not trusting her. But how could he, if she didn't fully trust him.

"Wait is that why Umbridge created that group of snitches?", Aquila asked. "The Inquisitorial Squad, I think it's called." Fred nodded at her question. Then George came running towards them, and put his arm around both of their shoulders.

"Wanna go to Hogsamde?", George asked. Aquila and Fred nodded and the three of them walked towards Hogsmeade and spent the rest of their Sunday enjoying each other's company and joking around.
