I trudge down to Hogsmeade with my little group. Well, not Fred and Em. They're off being a happy couple or whatever.
Today's the meeting to announce the D.A. so, we're all going over there. I'm going to tell off anyone who says a word against Harry. What he said about Cedric was all true.
Apart from his murderer, we all know that was a lie.
George keeps asking me about my double spy stuff, and I have to put my hand over his mouth a few times.
"Not here, George."
"Why not?" He mumbles through my hand. It's muffled, but I can hear clearly.
"Well, for one, we're currently walking in a large group with a lot of people, including a few Slytherins I'd rather never see again." I take my hand off. "Get what I'm saying?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Oh look, we're here."
We step inside and wait for the trio to take their time. Eventually they step inside.
"About time, Harry." I say.
He sits down, and Hermione does that awkward little speech. When people start hating on Harry, I stand up.
"Hermione, can I please say something?"
"Sure, Belle."
I turn to everyone. "You think he was lying about Cedric? You think he was just joking about the death of a lively seventeen year old? I had the unpleasant experience of witnessing it in a vision. I'm a seer, and I saw it. I saw it and I wasn't allowed to stop it. Harry Potter is not lying. Lord Voldemort is back, and Umbridge refuses to teach us how to defend ourselves." Everybody shivers at Voldemort's name and I smirk. "Harry, would you like to say something?"
I sit back down with a smile and he stands up and says his bit, then sits down after everybody starts talking about his accomplishments.
Then Hermione brings out the parchment and we write our names on it.
Random fact: Luna wrote her name upside-down.
Naturally.
After the meeting I head down to The Magic Of Books with George and we work there until more people come to take our jobs. The whole time, George is trying to make me laugh, and succeeding at it.
He can be hilarious sometimes. I laugh so hard a few times that the owner threatens to send us away. George becomes a bit quiet after that, but at least tries to make me smile.
Well, at least this one won't die.
That night I'm woken up by somebody coming through the portrait hole. I cast a disillusionment spell on myself and tiptoe down the stairs. Mr Weasley just got attacked.
Oh goody! (Note the sarcasm)
I head back to the girls dorms, and open the door to the fourth years dorm, where Ginny is sleeping. I take off the charm, then wake her up.
"In a few minutes somebody'll come for you. Don't freak out, he's safe."
"Who? What?"
"I'm a seer, and I know what's up. I'll stay with you, but I might not be there when you're summoned to Dumbledore's office. Just keep calm, he's alright."
"Who?"
"You'll find out, Gin."
I stay with her until she's called to go to Dumbledore's office. I walk with her to the common room, and the twins are in there, waiting. They look really confused and worried.
"Fred, George. He's fine. You don't know who yet, because I don't think I'm supposed to tell you. When you do find out, just know that he'll walk out alive. It would have been fatal if not for Harry."
"Thanks." They say quietly, then walk out with Ginny. I go back to bed.

That Christmas, I spend the first half of the day with Severus. I give him an everlasting Lily. It won't die. I also give him the last book.
"Just don't read it in front of me, please. I'm still not emotionally healed from your memories."
He chuckles softly. "If you say so."
He hands me a broomstick. It's not a firebolt but it's perfect. We spend the rest of our time together inside, just being a family, which is more than enough. Too soon, I have to go to Grimmauld place.
Severus apparates us there, and I turn to him.
"Won't you stay?"
"People will question. It's better we keep it quiet, especially around Harry. After the war is over, you can climb to the top of the astronomy tower and shout it out for all I care. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas... Dad."
He smiles fondly and dissaparates. I wait for number 12 to appear, then walk inside the door. I'm ambushed by eight redheads, while Mrs Weasley tries to stop them from squashing me to death.
"Let her breathe!" She shouts, and everybody smiles sheepishly.
"Hey, Weasleys."
They laugh and I adjust my bag.
"You're sharing with me again." Says Ginny. "I'll come with you." She sits me down on my bed and closes the door.
"So why are you so eager to be alone with me?"
"Girl talk."
"About...?"
She rolls her eyes. "You're the only single lady around here who isn't interested in books or hanging out with Sirius. You must have a crush."
I blush. "Maybe."
"It's not Harry, is it?"
"No, he's all yours." I wink at her.
"Do you think he knows?" She asks, going bright red.
"No way. I have a plan, though."
"What?"
"Make him jealous. I know him inside out, and when he can't have a girl, he wants her. Once she's his, he won't let go unless they weren't meant to be. And you, my ginger friend, are the perfect match for him."
"You sure?"
"I'm sure. Just make sure he sees you going out with guys, make sure he knows. He'll fall for you by the end of next year, I promise."
"I'll help you as well, if you'll tell me who it is... If it's who I think it is, you're doing fine."
"Who do you think it is?"
"I'm not telling! I swore I wouldn't tell you who it was. All I'll say is that someone likes you. A lot."
I blush. "Any clues?"
"Nope."
"Weasley?"
"No." She looks me straight in the eyes. Her eyes are what give it away.
"So it's one of your brothers, huh?"
"I won't tell you which one."
I'm about to start guessing, when the twins apparate into the room.
"Hello girls, what're you talking about?"
Ginny smiles sheepishly and I giggle.
"Come on, Belle." Says George. "You can tell us."
"No I can't." I say, grinning. "It's not my place."
They turn to Ginny and I smirk. She squints at me before shooing the boys out of the room. She turns to me.
"That wasn't fair!" She tries to keep a straight face.
The key word being tries. She ends up giggling, and I join her.
Soon, we're laughing out loud, not caring that the twins left and extendable ear in here.
George's POV
The girls start laughing and I can't help but smile as I hear Belle. Her laugh is light and bubbly, just like her personality. Fred notices my smile and nudges me.
"It'll happen soon, buddy. Just wait." He grins and leaves me to go write to Emma-Leigh. I smile even more and go back to listening.

The George's POV was my small offering as a sorry for not uploading earlier present.
I hate writer's blocks. They suck.
