"Come on George! It's easy enough!" Fred hollered at him, it was funny when the twins made fun of each other, though, she never did know who's side to be on.

"Why don't you have a go then Fred?" He hollered back. Confidently Fred got up and walked over to where George was stood,

"Shoo, move out of the way for the star!" He did a little spin and winked towards her, causing her to giggle at him. He waved his hand around, mimicking Queen Elizabeth (or Dumbledore as George says) before a cloud of smoke appeared, engulfing Fred completely. When the smoke dissipated, however, there stood Fred in the exact same spot, covered in soot and his hair all messed up.

"Yeah Fred, really easy" Laughed George. Christy couldn't help but to laugh along with him - Fred had seemed so confident and now he was covered in soot and dust.

"Fred, given your mistakes, you don't half know how to make someone laugh!" She panted whilst trying to catch her breath. Her stomach was killing her and her lungs were too because of her extensive laughing fit.

"Did you hear that George? I can make people laugh! Who knew?!" He said sarcastically as he chuckled to himself. Christy loved being with the twins, they knew how to make her laugh and she could make them laugh too. George always said that having her around was like having Hermione in their year which, she could understand - she was the brightest Ravenclaw in the school. She had always wondered how Hermione got into Gryffindor when she clearly has the brains of a Ravenclaw but she was passed that now.

Like Fred and George, Christy was a pureblood, however, she came from a long line of Slytherins and even the Sorting Hat had been reluctant to put her into Ravenclaw, but it did and nothing could change that.

"CHRISTY!" She heard them yell, causing her to snap back to reality from her train of though, "Come on daydreamer, it's your go" She nervously walked up to Fred had previously stood. Her mind raced with everything she had been taught, she flooded her mind with thoughts and visions of her inside the hoop and spun. Nothing. She tried again. Nothing. She tried a third time and POOF! she disappeared, appearing on the other side of Twycross from where she originally stood. The crowd erupted with applause and a grin appeared on her face as she looked towards the ground blushing. She walked back over to Fred and George who were jumping up and down with joy.

"WE TOLD YOU! WE TOLD YOU!!" They yelled comically causing her to laugh along with them. She strutted back over to them, face beaming with accomplishment.

"What can I say boys? I'm just too brilliant" She gloated sarcastically. They bowed towards her which made her laugh even more as she sat back down between them. "I didn't get in the hoop though" She added quietly to herself. The aim off the apparition class was to apparate into the hoop, which she hadn't managed to do - nobody had, but that didn't make her feel any better about it.

"Hey, listen to me, you're the only one who's been able to apparate so far, it doesn't matter that you didn't get into the hoop, you'll get it next time" As much as the twins made her laugh, they gave good advice and support when they wanted to, granted it often wasn't wanted or taken but they still gave it and that's what made them good friends.

"Alright! That's todays lesson over. I'll see you all next Saturday. You are dismissed" Twycross announced. As they were sat near the back of the hall, they were almost the first out. As the whole year, or the people who could afford it, filed out of the Great Hall and splurged off in their own directions, something had caught her eye. Two people stood against the wall, she found it cute until one of them pulled away and she saw who it really was...
