Y/n's POV:

Me and Fred made our way slowly up the steps toward the historic school of Hogwarts, our hands linked and our promise rings clinked together every so often.

We walked into the large stone entrance of the school, Peeves the schools poltergeist had begun to throw water balloons onto students. I prepared to cover my head from the expected incoming water balloon. But it never came.

"How come we didn't get splashed?" I asked Fred confused as we heard the students behind us scream and begin dripping water.

"I made a deal with Peeves. He helps on our pranks but we don't get pranked on" Fred replied with a smile on his face.

"Clever, very clever" I smiled.

We made our way into the great hall where we found George and Lee. Not only were they panting from their race, they were clasping onto the table for extra air.

"If it's any help" panted Lee "I won this year" he continued as he gave a cheesy grin towards George.

"Only because you managed to get past the third years" George huffed.

We all started to talk whilst the first years got sorted into their houses. We once again gave the loudest cheers when the 11 year olds got sorted into Gryffindor.

Once the ceremony was finished, Dumbledore had arisen from his chair. He did not say anything but clapped his hands and the welcome feast appeared on the four long tables.

I licked my lips before piling food onto my plate. I looked over to George to see he had a whole mountain of mashed potato and was spooning it in by the mouthful. I couldn't help but giggle before I turned to my chicken, I grabbed my cutlery and ate like it was my final meal. The main had disappeared and the colourful mountains of mouth watering desserts appeared in front of us. I took some ice cream and sprinkles and put it in my bowl. After the feast was done Dumbledore had once again arisen from his seat and waddled to his podium.

"Good evening, children. Now, we have two changes
in staffing this year." he started. "We're pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank who'll be taking Care of Magical Creatures while Professor Hagrid is on temporary leave."

Although I had Hagrid teaching for one year I had enjoyed his class. I also enjoyed spending time in his hut with Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"We also wish to welcome our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Dolores Umbridge."

The old toad like woman at the end of the teacher table had given a small yet annoying giggle. She wore bright pink robes with a pink flowery hat and even wore pink shoes.

"How pink can one person be" I whispered to Fred, George and Lee. They all snorted but we turned our focus back to Dumbledore.

"And I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing the professor good luck. Now, as usual, our caretaker, Mr. Filch,has asked me to remind you--"

Umbridge had gave a loud cough to clear my throat. She placed her pink bag on the table before standing up and walking over next to Dumbledore's podium. I looked over and heard Harry whisper something to his friends

"She was at my hearing. She works for Fudge." I scoffed a little before turning my focus to the pink blob who was now in front of Dumbledore.

"Thank you, headmaster,for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me."

I looked around the hall to find no one has smiled at her. We all had vacant expressions on our faces. She gave a small annoying laugh before continuing.

"I'm sure we're all going to be very good friends." She said sweetly but we could all tell that's not what she meant.

"That's likely." Fred and George said at the same time with a mischievous smile appearing on both their faces.
"That's very likely." I said sarcastically but agreeing with the twins.

"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this historic school progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be prohibited."

She gave another small giggle before returning to hear seat. Dumbledore face had a mixture of anger and laughter before he had cleared his throat to continue.

"Thank you, Professor Umbridge. That really was most illuminating."

"Illuminating? What a load of waffle." We heard Ron snigger.
"What's it mean?" Harry had asked to Hermione.

"It means the ministry's interfering at Hogwarts" Hermione said grimly.

"Magic is forbidden in the corridors. That's all, to bed. Pip pip" Dumbledore finished. We all risen to our seats. Me and Fred linked hands and walked up to the Gryffindor common room together.

We had arrived at the common room and threw ourselves down on the squishy seats. Fred wrapped his arm around me and pulled me onto his body.

"I can't believe that is working here" Lee said gesturing towards Umbridge.

"Exactly" George agreed "who would wear that much pink"

"Someone with no social life" I responded which earned a loud laugh from the four of us. I wonder what mayhem Umbridge would cause this year.

"All I can tell, this years gonna be fun" Fred sniggered

"But we have N.E.W.Ts this year" I said. "We need to focus on our lessons"

"Oh dearest y/n/n. We don't need N.E.W.Ts for our joke shop. We're going to use this year as some research." George said. I sighed at the pair of them. At that moment Hermione came over to me. She grabbed my wrist.

"Y/n we need to go to our dorms" she said panicked.

"What's wrong" I said.

"I'll explain when we're up there. Now come on" she said. She hauled me out of my seat. I said my good nights to the boys.

"We can do the sleepover another night. Goodnight Freddie" I said as I leaned over ask kissed him.

"Goodnight lovey" Fred had to yell as Hermione dragged me up stairs to our dorm.

We got to our room. Hermione wouldn't say a word to me. She sat me down on my bed and she closed the door. She took a seat next to me and let out a big sigh.

"What's wrong Hermione" I asked.

"Well. I like Ron but I don't know how to say it. I'm scared he will like someone else. And all I can think off is O.W.Ls this year and the ministry's interference with Hogwarts. It's getting too much and I can't take it anymore" she blurted out before bursting into tears.

I never seen Hermione this distressed before. I placed her head on my shoulder and let her cry on it, I rubbed her back until she had stopped.

"Okay. How about we do study sessions in the library. I need to study for N.E.W.Ts so we can get together after class or on weekends. I'll help you with Ronald. And there's nothing I can do about the ministry. But we can get through this together. Okay" I said to her. Hermione's face lit up in a smile and the fifth year wrapped around my waist.

"Your the best y/n. Thank you!" She said to me.

"Come on. Let's get ready for bed" I said. She released her arms from around me.

We both stood up from my bed. Whilst Hermione was in the shower, I had pulled out both mine and Hermione's pyjamas. I placed them neatly on her bed. I then took a shower, cleaned my teeth and pulled my hair into a bun. I changed into my pyjamas and climbed into bed. I pulled the blanket over my body and tried to get comfortable.

I had soon closed my eyes and fell into a broken sleep. I missed being in Fred's arms.

Fred's POV:
(From after you left with Hermione)

"Goodnight Lovey" I yelled to y/n as Hermione dragged her to their dorm. I instantly missed her being on my chest. This was the first time all summer that she wasn't near me.

"Miss her already" George joked but also said it in a semi- serious tone.

"Yeah. I do" I nodded sadly. "I don't know what to do with my arms" they had fallen to my side but I couldn't keep them still.

"It's only one night Fred" Lee said comfortingly as he jumped onto the sofa next to me. Where y/n once was. George jumped to my other side and both pulled me into a hug.

We then headed up to our dorm. We unpacked our belongings, I placed the photo of me and y/n on my bed side cabinet and adjusted it to the perfect angle.

Once we finished unpacking we got ourselves ready for bed, I showered and brushed my teeth before pulling on my pyjama bottoms. I climbed into my bed and stared at the picture on my left.

"Goodnight Fred. Goodnight George" Lee whisper shouted across the room.

"Goodnight" me and George said in unison.

Within minutes I heard both George and Lee snore. I lay awake in and out of sleep. I soon fell into a broken sleep. I missed having y/n in my arms.
