and I'm just scared of loosing people and in a way I can see why Katherine did what she did, because if someone effectively gave my two options and one of them meant only one person getting killed instead of multiple others including kids I would take that option."

"I know there's a war but I'm never going to let anything happen to you and I never will." Fred says, with a hurt voice which I completely understand because I couldn't let anything ever happen to him.

"Right, let's stop talking about death and get some more sleep, because you don't want to deal with grumpy y/n do you?" I ask him and he just pulls a face before standing up. "I take that as a no then." I say and we walk back up the stairs and snuggling back up into bed together with Fred falling asleep before me as I can hear his light snoring and I quickly fall asleep not long after him.

The next two weeks flew by with Quidditch practice, the DA, school work and trying to spend time with my friends, well mainly Fred. We know had a new way of communicating for if and when DA meetings needed to be changed and that was in the form of fake Galleons, because there was obviously nothing wrong with carrying around a Galleon. I got my letters back from my dad, Michael and a letter from Molly wondering how we all were doing which I replied with straight away and Michael's letter basically confirmed everything and said that he wants me to go to his birthday dinner in April next year and he somehow agreed to let me bring Fred which I was somehow trying to convince him its safe.

"You can't go by yourself!" He says rather loudly grabbing the attention of some other students in the common room, including Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny.

"I don't have to it clearly states here that you can come with me, so at a Hogsmeade trip closer to the time I will be buying you a new set of dress robes that can match to some I will by for myself." I say, giving him the letter, "it is also months away yet, so you have nothing to worry about."

"Where are you two going that needs dress robes?" Ginny asks.

"It doesn't matter." I say quickly trying to shut her up.

"It clearly does, you two are up to something." Ginny says crossing her arms.

"Fine - fine, I can't argue with you for too long, anyway, Michael has invited me to his birthday dinner in April and obviously Fred is concerned but, he has also been invited so he can stop worrying so much." I tell her and a look of surprise shoots across her face.

"Are you sure you should go?" She asks looking rather concerned.

"Its months away, and Fred is coming with me and we can both use magic, so if anything was to happen, we would be able to apparate and come back here." I tell her.

"just be careful y/n, you always seem to get yourself into trouble one way or another." Ginny tells me.

"Thank Ginny, but I can handle myself." I say before she walks off and I turn back to Fred. "Look, you can come and as you said before you will never let anyone hurt me."

"I know and yes the only way I am letting you go is if I can come with you so thank Godric I can." Fred says smiling at me.

"I know that, right we should get to the library before the others get too suspicious." I tell Fred and he nods in agreement.

We arrive at the library and Melody and Jack look up and smirk at us both.

"Have fun?" Melody asks.

"Doing what? we were in the common room talking about something." I say to her and she just raises her eyebrows and laughs at my comment.

"Yeah because little Miss Black here had a stupid idea so now we have to have a sit down meal with Michael and Katherine." Fred tells them.

"Wait -" Melody starts.

"Isn't that-" Jack proceeds to follow.

"I swear-" Lee starts.

"Yeah isn't that your auntie and uncle that you thought were you parents for years?" Angelina asks and I nod my head.

"Wait, why are you doing that?" George asks.

I proceed to tell them everything and they all look a little unsure but no one actually says no you shouldn't do it, so I'm defiantly going to do it.

It was now the day of the Quidditch match against Slytherin and as we arrive at the table light cheers could be heard from our fellow Gryffindor's which made me even more nervous as Captain as I really did have some big shoes to fill and I sit there picking at my breakfast not feeling particularly hungry.

"Come on y/n you need to eat." Melody tells me.

"I'm not hungry." I say to her.

"If you don't eat, knowing your luck you'll pass out in mid air so eat." Melody tells me sounding like a mum.

"Fine." I say shovelling the food into my mouth.

After I see the whole team has ate, I stand up grabbing my broom with the other team members apart from Angelina still sitting down.

"Right team, time to go." I announce and they all get up with Ron slowly rising from his seat looking rather nervous.

We all walk down to the pitch with the crunchy grass under our feet. As we enter the Gryffindor changing room, I walk through to the office to see a piece of parchment on the desk about Slytherins line-up and quickly get myself changed before walking back into the changing room.

"Right, you lot, I've only just found out the final line-up for Slytherin. So last year's beaters Derrick and Bole, have left, but it looks as though Montague's replaced them with the usual idiots, rather than anyone who can actually play and its Malfoy's two sidekicks Crabbe and Goyle... two idiots if I've ever seen them and I know you two are particularly familiar with the two of them." I say to Harry and Ron and they nod their heads.

We could hear the rest of the school making there way down to play with noise filling up around the pitch and I can see that Ron is extremely nervous.

"Right everyone, before we go out there, I just want to say I'm proud of all the effort you have all been putting in so now lets go out there and kick some Slytherin arse!" I say and the team cheers.

We make our way out and I walk up to where Oliver used to stand feeling rather nervous.

"Captains, shake hands." Madam Hooch ordered and both Montague and I do so both clearly trying to crush each others fingers.

"Mount your broom..." Madam Hooch said placing the whistle in her mouth and then blowing it with all fourteen players going up into the air.

"And it's Black with the quaffle, what a player that girl is, and what a lucky man Fred Weasley is I heard she-" Lee starts saying before McGonagall shuts him up.

"JORDAN!" She yells.

I carry on with the quaffle in my hand passing multiple Slytherin players when I get hit by a bludger from one of Malfoy's sidekicks and drop the quaffle and start chasing after it when George hits Montague on the head with a bludger and Katie grabs the quaffle then passing it back to me and I got through the pith avoiding the bludgers when I can hear the crowd sing.

"Weasley cannot save a thing, He cannot block a single ring. That's why us Slytherins sing; Weasley is our king!"

I try blocking out the noise the best I can focusing on the game hoping that Ron wasn't paying too much attention to it as I pass the quaffle to Angelina and she shoots but doesn't score then less than a minute later Slytherin score and the singing grew louder. We then get back in possession with the quaffle with Katie and we are trying to keep up when Warrington takes the quaffle from us between him and Pucey then they scored.

twenty-nil

We needed to score soon or for Harry to find the snitch because this awful singing is starting to piss me off.

Soon we were forty-nil when Angelina scores.

"GRYFFINDOR SCORES! It's forty-ten to Slytherin." lee announces.

Between getting hit by bludgers and the singing of the Slytherin's echoing around the pitch, I could tell it was going to be a long game until I see that Harry caught the snitch and being hit by a bludger and Angelina is the first one down to the ground to make sure Harry is okay.

"Save Weasley's neck haven't you?" I hear Malfoy say, "I've never seen a worse keeper... but then he was born in a bin... did you like my lyrics Potter?"

I can see Harry ignoring him as I go to check on Harry with the rest of the team.

"We wanted to right another couple of verses! But we couldn't find rhymes for fat and ugly - we wanted to sing about his mother, see-"Malfoy started saying and I turn around and glare at him.

"Shut up you sore looser." I say before going to hug Fred and George.

"We couldn't fit in useless loser either - for his father you know -" Malfoy says and I can feel Fred tense up.

"Leave it" Angelina says noticing how the boys were getting.

"Boys its not worth it-" I start saying before Malfoy cuts me off.

"- but you like the Weasleys, don't you Potter? Can't see how you stand he stink, but I suppose when you've been living with Muggles, even the Weasley's hovel smells okay-" Malfoy says and I see Harry grab George and I keep a hold of Fred along with Katie rushing over to help me.

"Or perhaps, you can remember what your mother's house stank like, Potter and Weasley's pigsty reminds you of it-" Malfoy starts and I see Harry let George go and both of them start punching Malfoy.

"GEROGE! HARRY! NO! BOYS!" I shout trying to get their attention but it clearly wasn't working as the keep throwing punches as I continue to hold Fred back and they just keep going.

Madam Hooch rushed over and stopped it with Harry and George dragged up to Professor McGonagalls office and I storm into the changing room and straight into the Captains office, practically kicking and punching everything knowing that they two are most likely going to be suspended for the next game.

I walk back to the common room after gathering my things together not talking to anyone before sitting in the common room waiting for the pair to come back with the rest of the team and lets just say I really wasn't in the best of moods. The two finally walk back into the room looking like they would rather be thrown off of the Astronomy Tower.

"So?" I ask them standing up.

"All three of us have been banned..." George says.

"ALL THREE OF YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED?" I ask shouting so loud I reckon people in Hogsmeade would be able to hear me. "So now we have no seeker and no beaters... fucking amazing... what an earth are we going to do?" I ask then sitting down whilst the rest of them talk and I'm thinking of who I can get on the team.

"Right I know this sounds crazy but Alicia, could you please re-join the team as a Chaser please?" I ask her.

"Yeah, of course I can especially now that we are three players down." Alicia replies with a small comforting smile.

"Now here comes the crazy part," I say turning to Melody, "how do you feel about becoming a beater with me?" I ask her.

"Yeah, sure, only played the position a few times but I was pretty good." Melody tells me as she sits with her boyfriend.

"Right that sorts that out then, so we are just going to have to do trials for a seeker then." I say, trying to avoid eye-contact with everyone. "Right, I'm going to have a shower, see you all later."

I start walking up the stairs when I hear steps behind me and I turn around and see Fred.

"What's wrong?" I ask him and I continue to walk up the stairs with Fred just behind me.

"I wanted to talk to you." He says.

"Okay." I then reply opening the dorm room door and walking into the room with Fred right behind me.

"Look I know your mad, I didn't think we would all get kicked off the team, well I thought that I wouldn't but you have to see that I wanted to kill him because of what Malfoy said about my parents..." Fred starts saying, as he continues to stand in front of the door.

"I completely understand and if George and Harry didn't shut him up, I think I would of ended up doing it." I say to him with a small comforting smile opening my arms for a hug and he walks over and wraps his arms around me and we stand there for a while.

The days go on quite quick and we had a few people turn up for the trails but Ginny stood out the best so I added her to the team, another Weasley on the team and now the team is all girls a part from Ron, who tried to leave the team but I practically told me no you leave this team over my dead body and he didn't want to argue with that.

We were currently sitting in the common room all chatting lightly.

"So who's the new seeker then?" Fred asks all of us girls and we shake our heads.

"I'm not telling you yet, and I've told you this plenty of times already, I thought it would of sunk into your head by now." I say to him.

"Yeah, we've all told you." Katie says to him and the other girls murmur in agreement.

"See you aren't getting anything out of us!" Angelina says, before turning back to her conversation with Fred and George, whilst I continue my conversation with Melody, Katie and Alicia.

"So what are you getting them for Christmas?" Katie asks, gesturing to our boyfriends.

"I've got him a couple of bits, that I know he likes, but I still need to get a main present, which I was thinking something personalised to do with us." I say to the small group.

"That sounds cute, I'm not sure on what I'm doing with Jack, maybe we can do it together." Melody suggests.

"Sounds like a plan." I tell her.

We spend the rest of the evening talking before heading up to bed and Fred and I head our separate ways for tonight as Lee's snoring was absolutely terrible and the others could sleep through it, but I sometimes couldn't so I decided to sleep in my own bed and Alicia and Katie share one together. I close my eyes and quickly fall asleep before popping into another re-lived dream, this time with my mum and dad one autumn with brown and amber leaves covering the floor, the temperature slowly dropping more and more every day and it's such a loving filled memory, as they meet up with their friends and I toddle over.

"I can't believe how big she is getting." Lily says, picking me up.

"Neither can I." My dad says, as Lily hands me back to him. "She's two in less than two weeks time."

"Yeah, my little baby is getting so big, look how long her hair is as well, so what is it that you two needed to tell us then?" Mum says to her and James and they look around the group.

"We are having a baby." James and Lily say at the same time and excitement fills the atmosphere.

"Little y/n here can have a little friend to play with, can't she?" Uncle Remus says laughing lightly as everyone goes to congratulate them.

Waking up for no particular reason, I wonder what our lives would of been like if they were never killed.
