"Don't be scared, it's going to be fine.", Fred comforted Aquila as she was feeling a bit anxious about spending the holidays with a family that isn't hers. She felt like she was intruding, especially having the family she has. When Fred, George, Ron, Harry, Ginny, and Hermione entered Grimmauld Place, Aquila followed being a bit intimidated by the people who live there. The Sirius Black lived there, and she knew lot's about him. She knew that he had been to Azkaban, but never guilty of what he was accused of. She knew that he was Harry Potter's godfather, based on what Fred and George have told her. She took a deep breath and entered the apartment.

"Fred, George!", She heard a kind and warm feminine voice call cheerfully. She saw that a puffy haired red-head woman was giving both boys a tight hug. She saw her greet the rest of the kids including Harry and Hermione. Then, the women gaze shifted to Aquila. The woman took a moment to take in her appearance. She looked at how she had curly long brown hair and a face that could be as pale as the clouds. The woman's look softened and walked closer to the anxious girl.

"You must be Aquila Phoenix. I'm Molly Weasley, the mother of every red-head in the house except Arthur of course.", Molly joked. Aquila chuckled nervously while playing with her fingers. Molly chuckled and pulled Aquila into a warm embrace. It was a motherly type of hug, that Aquila has not felt in a really long time. Aquila gave into the hug and felt a slight feeling of safeness and trust.

"Now Aquila, you can share a room with Ginny and Hermione.", Mrs. Weasley suggested, while receiving a nod from Aquila. "The room is upstairs and then to your right. Fred, will you please help Aquila carry her things upstairs?", Mrs. Weasley kindly asked her son while having an arm around Aquila's shoulder in a kind manner.

"Of course mom, c'mon Aquila.", Fred said as he took Aquila's bag from the floor and smiled at her. Aquila followed Fred up the stairs.

"I can carry that, you don't have to carry it,", Aquila said, feeling bad for having Fred carry her things. Fred looked at her gave a warm smile.

"Oh nonsense!", he kindly exclaimed as he continued to go up the stairs. Aquila let out a quiet chuckle and followed Fred up the dark creaky stairs. When they arrived at the big dark room with floors of wood, Fred put Aquila's black bag on the blue sheeted bed.

"Thank you Fred.", Aquila thanked him and Fred smiled at her while his stomach was fluttering. He watched as Aquila opened her luggage showing all her clothing items. Fred asked Aquila if she wanted help unpacking and Aquila agreed to it. Aquila set out a pile of folded dark colored shirts on the blue bed for Fred to put away. He ran his fingers on the soft dark cloth and admired the clean freshly washed appearance. Fred liked that about Aquila, that she was always so neat and organized in everything she does. How she took notes on her notebook, walked, ate, and how she folded her clothes. The tall redhead headed towards the black drawer next to Aquila's bed. He opened it and gently placed the pile of shirts in the drawer. Aquila had been hanging 2 dresses that she had brought, in the closet. Once Fred and Aquila finished unpacking Aquila's things, they heard a voice from downstairs. 

"Aquila, Fred, suppers ready!", They heard Molly yell from downstairs. Fred and Aquila looked at each other with smiles and sped downstairs. When Aquila arrived downstairs she saw how Molly was placing the plates with food in front of the people seated. She saw Hermione and Ron sitting in front of each other, Harry and Sirius Black sitting next to each other at the far end of the table, and there were 2 seats opened, one being next to George. Fred walked up to the seat next to George and whispered into his ear, making George chuckle. Aquila felt nervous as she approached the table and took a seat next to Fred.
