The Riddle: The Philosopher Stone ( Shifting Script/ Harry Potter Fan-fiction )

Chapter 18:

*Next Week*

I woke up, I had a nightmare that Ron and Harry were in a blue muggle car, and they were stuck in the whomping willow tree. I didn't that far where I knew why they were in the tree but I saw that Ron's wand tip was broken. They seemed a little older than how I saw them last night when we were eating dinner. But I brush that vision off my shoulder for now since I wanted to tell Sage. I got ready like everyday for the past week. I decided to walk over to the great hall and look for Sage or any of my other friends. I looked all around but not one was yet to be found, NOT EVEN RON AND HE WOULD NEVER MISS LUNCH! I wondered, where are all of my friends at this time? I focus my eyes on the Hufflepuff table, great, just my luck, the only person who is in the Dining Hall that i know is...Cedric. He was talking to Katie again, not surprised. I simply and calmly walked over to go find Sage at the Slytherin table. I forgot about her and Fred's picnic and I didn't want to keep my mind on Cedric again, at least not for right now. I walk outside of the castle and head over to the whomping willow tree. After what happened to Ron and Harry in my vision, I don't particularly know why they would have a picnic there, but it seems as if all magical creatures seem to love Sage and me, so it never really mattered because they would never harm us. to no little of my surprise, I see Fred and Sage having their picnic under the Whomping Willow. I knew I heard sage mutter something in her sleep about this being their spot for the day. I forgot to mention that Sage has always been a sleep talker since we were babies. It's actually quite funny really. I was going to join them until I remembered that this was supposed to be their picnic and I don't want to ruin that, especially if George isn't there to counter me. So before they could see me approaching, I ducked right on to the other side of the Willow. Great going Hazel, how do I always get myself stuck into these situations? But quickly enough, Sage says something to grab my attention. I eye over just enough to see what they are eating. Fred is wearing a light orange oversized sweater, with jeans that he cuffed, and black converse. They are eating a salad with butterbeer and cauldron cakes that I'm assuming Fred stole or bribed from the house elves in front of the Hufflepuff common room. Sage is wearing a pleated skirt with a cropped, white polo shirt and she... has her makeup done. Since when does Sage do her makeup? She is always too lazy to get ready.

Sage: "Sorry Fred, but i swear Professor Quirrell was talking to me in parseltongue inside my own head!"

Fred: "C'mon Sage! I'm sure it was nothing. Are we talking about the same Professor Quirrell here? The same guy that was scared of the stuffed rabbit we pranked him with, that man spoke snake language in your head?"

I could hear Fred and Sage start laughing

Sage: "Knock it off Fred! This man really spelled me to open the chamber door with Hazel so we could get our 'reward' "

I heard my name ring over and over again in my head, Is this the same chamber that was attacking muggles from ages ago? I thought of Hermione and how Oliver told me earlier about his muggle father just on Friday. I could not have them getting hurt. So I decided right then and there, I would need to find this chamber and stop this somehow. Someway where none of my friends get hurt. I tune back into the real world and hear Fred and Sage dying of laughter. Obviously moving on from the topic of the voice in her head.

Sage: "So you're telling me, when George was 10, he still slept with your parents?'

Fred: "Yes, it was so adorable of little Georgie too!"

They kept laughing on the subject. Oh how I wish I could join them right about now. But this was their time.

Sage: "AHHHH HELP!"

My natural instincts almost made me run over to help her, but when I turned, I couldn't see what shen was screaming over. She was now on her feet screaming at a... spider? Fred is howling with laughter now. Sage attempts to throw her cake at it, but it doesn't die. Obviously, Fred picks it up and starts running to sage.

Sage: " FRED GIDEON WEASLEY, IF YOU THROW THAT THING AT ME, I SWEAR ON MERLIN!"

Fred: "NO ONE SAYS MY MIDDLE NAME AND DOESN'T PAY THE CONSEQUENCES!"

He says this with a smirk and throws the spider. He doesn't really have good aim, though he tripped over a rock and landed on top of Sage. The spider skidding away, happy to be alive and not cake killed. I swear, they sat that way for over 30 seconds just staring at each other, kind of like how I felt with Draco and Oliver. Sage eventually realized what happened and goes to the deepest red I have ever seen on a person. Fred blushes even deeper, which I didn't know was humanly possible. He gets off the top of her and flips over to her left side.

Sage: "Why are we like this Fred?"

He moves over and rests his head on her shoulder.

Fred: "I'm not sure my Sage..."

Sage sits up and turns back to Fred

Sage: "Hey, but you know that spider was life threatening, right? I'm sure you were just as scared as I was."

Fred: "Sage, you thought you could kill the spider by throwing cake on it."

They both start laughing hysterically again.

I know I'm late to my flying lessons, but at this point, I'm in too deep to leave now or they will know I was eavesdropping.

Sage: "Why is it so cold out here? Wasn't it just summer?"

Fred: "Here, you can have my sweater as long as you don't throw cake at it like you did with the poor spider."

He winks at her, good going Fred, always such a flirt. But if you hurt her, I will break you. I see her blush again as he removes his signature orange sweater and hands it to her and she puts it on.

Sage: "Thank you Freddie..."

They stare at each other for a few seconds before Sage looks at her left hand that had a watch on the wrist.

Sage: "OH MY MERLIN! WE ARE 20 MINUTES LATE TO CLASS!:

They pack up their stuff very fast and start to run back to the castle

Fred: "I BET YOU FIVE GALLEONS I BEAT YOU TO THE CASTLE!"

Sage: "YOU'RE ON WEASLEY!"

And they were off, never knowing I was behind them the whole time, hearing their whole conversation. I'm relieved that they are done, but Mrs. Hooch is going to kill me. I run off to the castle as well, wondering why the hell did I not just deal with Cedric? Also, thinking how I was going to open this chamber. I made sure to remind myself that Fred's middle name was Gideon for future blackmail.
