But You Are My Only Counterpart

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Belle was rummaging around in her drawers trying to find her stuffed bear that Fred had given to her. She could've sworn that she already packed it in her trunk but she couldn't find it, "Mum have you seen Mr. Snuggles?!" She yelled as she tore her bed apart trying to find him. Fred have given it to her when they were ten for Christmas. She never left home for a long period of time without it, "I haven't seen him but you need to hurry. We were supposed to head to the Weasley's ten minutes ago." Her mother replied as she walked into Belle's room, "Mum please. We are going by floo network I think we will be okay. I need to find Mr. Snuggles before we go anywhere or I won't be able to sleep the entire time I'm at school." Belle said and looked under her bed, "Ah! There you are. You little bugger." She exclaimed and grabbed the bear before putting him in her purse and heading down the stairs with her mother. Belle was staying with the Weasley's for the night before they headed back to Hogwarts the next day. Her parents were working the next day so they weren't able to take her to the train station. But that was okay with Belle because that was just another day she got to spend with Fred and George.

Draco was finishing up packing for his return to Hogwarts tomorrow. He was a little sad about returning because that meant he couldn't hang out with Lou anymore. He could try but it wouldn't work. With her being a Gryffindor and he being a Slytherin it would never work out. Draco hated it because he really liked being around Lou. She was so much fun and he actually forgot about the things that went on in his family and how crazy everything was. He loved having Lou as a friend but he knew that it was an outside of Hogwarts only thing.

Louisa was less than impressed when she was woken up before ten this morning and forced to get dressed by her mother. By half ten Louisa was in Diagon Alley with her little sister, Beatrice collecting some books and equipment she forgot to pick up a few weeks back. Louisa bitter was mood was not helped by the fact she could no longer hang out with Draco as they were heading back to school tomorrow. Throughout summer Louisa had been sneaking out of the house and meeting up with Draco, her parents were completely unaware of the whole thing and would have been livid if they ever found out. At the start of the summer, Louisa father had a stern word with her about Draco and his family's current situation and how it was best to stay away. It went in one ear and out the other. When Louisa returned home with her sister, she found her mother in her room with her trunk open. "Where is Calla?" asked Louisa, she was very found of the house elf. "Calla is helping your siblings," explained her mother, "I wanted a quiet word with you about Draco." Louisa rolled her eyes as she collapsed back on her bed, "Not interested." "Well you should be Louisa, I know about you meeting with Draco over the summer." Louisa sat up as she listened to her mother. "You should be thankful your dad doesn't know. It is a dangerous time for us all Louisa, you and Draco being friends is not safe anymore, it's not like when you were children, you have to understand that darling." "Well I won't be able to talk to him at school so it doesn't matter anyway," retorted Louisa as she headed over to her dresser to get some clothes. "I know you are upset but it is for your own safety," sighed her mother. Louisa didn't reply and her mother took the hint to leave the bedroom.

Fred rolled his eyes as he heard his mum yell up the stairs for him and George to tidy their room. Even though Belle was staying with Ginny their mum insisted that their room was presentable at least. "I've done my half of the room," shrugged Fred as he climbed off his bed. "Help me do mine then?" asked George, his side was a disaster. Fred simply chuckled at his twin and shook his head making it clear he wasn't going to help as he left the bedroom. Fred hurried down the stairs and entered the kitchen which was almost sparkling, his mum wanted the house to be spotless just because Belle parents would be staying for ten minutes, if that. "Do you think the kitchen could shine anymore?" asked Fred teasing his mum. "Oh away with you, what time are the Gold's arriving?" asked his mum. Fred just shrugged, "Soonish." Fred knew as soon as the fire light up green they would be here.

Belle grabbed her messenger bag and then walked downstairs to the fireplace with her mum. She grabbed her trunk and got it into the fireplace with her. Her mum handed her the pot with floopowder and she took a handful, "The burrow!" Belle said clearly as the green flames surrounded her and suddenly she was in the fireplace of the Weasley's home. She quickly got out, "Hello?! Anyone home?" She called even though she knew everyone would be home, except Arthur and Percy, "Belle!!" She heard Ron and Ginny call out before the whole Weasley family was in the living room. She hugged Molly first before the rest of the family. She smiled widely when she saw Fred and ran over and practically jumped on him as she hugged him. It had only been a month since she had last seen him and visited the burrow but she had missed him terribly.

Draco sighed and flipped through his books for this year. He knew he was going to have some tough classes but he knew he would get through them. He always had. Draco always did well in his classes. He hoped he would have Louisa in at least a few of his classes, even if he didn't talk to her in school he still liked to share her presence and see her. He wanted her to know that he didn't hate her or anything. It was just a matter of him being a Slytherin and her being a Gryffindor. Also he had to protect her from the dangers that his family brought. It hadn't been as bad in the past but things were starting to get crazy. He needed to protect her.

Louisa was half way through packing when she heard a tapping on her bedroom window and saw that her owl, Eclipse had returned for his journey to her aunts house. The family owl recently died and her father was due to buy a new one from Diagon Alley tonight. Louisa rushed over and let the owl and noticed the letter the owl clutched, Louisa took the letter and let Eclipse sit on her shoulder as she made her way out of her room and began to head downstairs. As Louisa approached the kitchen she encouraged Eclipse to fly into the kitchen which caused her mother to shriek. "Louisa what have I told you about allowing Eclipse to fly in the house!" yelled her mother as Louisa entered the kitchen and handed her mother the letter. Louisa just chuckled to herself as she took a seat at the table in the kitchen, her mother quickly read over the letter and allowed Eclipse to go and rest. "Have you finished packing yet?" asked her mother. "No I will go finish it now," replied Louisa.

Fred stood away from the fire place a little as the Gold's arrived, he knew he would getting his greeting. Sure enough he did as he was practically jumped by Belle. "Alright, alright," chuckled Fred, "Clearly someone has missed my handsome face." Fred hugged back Belle, he may have been teasing but he really did miss Belle over the month that she had been gone. "Come on, we best get you case up to the Ginny's room or mother will go mad," smirked Fred as he glanced over at his mum who was offering Belle's mum some tea.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Belle smiled at Fred's words. He clearly didn't know how much they were true for her. She grabbed her trunk and heaved it up the many stairs that were in the Weasley's house to Ginny's room. She knew she wouldn't be spending much time in there. Most of the time she always would fall asleep in Fred and George's room because they would be goofing off until it was way past the time they should've gone to bed. But Belle did stay in Ginny's room sometimes. Usually when the trio had goofed off too much and Molly had gotten upset, "God Fred you think you could help me out here. I've got a lot of stuff in here." She complained as she carried her trunk up the stairs.

(not really sure what to post for Draco I'm sorry.)

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
(Sorry about the late reply, I was travelling all day yesterday. I'm not sure what to write about Louisa so we could wait until they get to school?)

Fred watched as Belle struggled with then suitcase up the stairs, he decided to see how long it would take for her to ask him to help. Sure enough Belle soon complained about Fred's lack of help, "Alright, alright, I'm coming, hold your horse." Fred replied as he hurried up the stairs to where Belle, "Look you have practically made it," teased Fred, "You didn't really need my help after all." Fred was only teasing as he dragged Belle's trunk into Ginny's room, once that was done he took whatever luggage Belle had left and put it in his sister room. "God anyone would be thinking you were packing for a school year," chuckled Fred as he turned to face Belle with a smile on his face.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
(It's all good. And yeah that sounds good)

Belle stuck her tongue out at Fred, "I am packing for a school year, genius." She said and then she smiled at him. It was hard for her not to smile at Fred. They had been best friends since their first year at Hogwarts. He and George had played a prank on Belle their first night in the dorms. They scared her half to death but she got that them back for it. And since then they've all been the best of friends. Of course Belle had practically been in love with Fred since her third year but she never told him because she didn't want to ruin their friendship. George knew though, he could tell before Belle even could, "Can you believe this is it? Our final year at Hogwarts?" She asked him as she walked down the stairs back to the group.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy

Fred mocked Belle a little as he returned the face she pulled, "I am packing for a school year," he lightly teased. Fred was very happy to have Belle in his life, for many years it was just him and George but after the prank they pulled on Belle on the first night they soon became best friends. Their mum always gushed how lovely Belle was and how she would make a wonderful girlfriend but Fred knew how his mum always appreciated having females around the house instead of rowdy boys. "Yeah last year of school, you best buck your ideas up Gold and get the grades you want," replied Fred, Belle was much more academically better at school than both twins, "We will have to go out with a bang somehow." Fred was determined to have a good year as he jumped off the last three steps of the stairs. This caused the crooked house the shake a little and also earned him a glare off his mum who was still chatting away with Belle's mum.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Belle glared at Fred when he mocked her before she laughed. When he replied to her statement she sighed and nodded, "I'm going to have to study so hard for my tests and OWLS. I'm probably going to go crazy. You have to promise that you won't let me go crazy." She said and grabbed his arm as they reached the bottom of the stairs. They walked back into the living room where George and Ron and Ginny were all sitting around and talking. Fred sat down on the couch next to George and Fred, like normal, "Don't worry, Belle. Freddie and I won't let you go completely crazy. But we will probably be the ones driving you crazy. Not your OWLS." George teased.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
Fred let Belle drag him back into the living where he saw a few of his siblings. "George is right, shouldn't be your exams that drive you crazy it will be us," smirked Fred as he gentle nudged Belle in the ribs, "Me and George are not worried we are already career set, I'm surprised we even have to attend this year." Fred took a seat next to George on one of the sofas. "You will take your last year of school and there will be no more said about it!" yelled their mum's voice from the kitchen. "This our last chance of being free from adult responsibilities so we should really enjoy this year," grinned Fred. "It will be our best year to date," added George.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Belle laughed at Fred and George and looked over at Ron and Ginny, "What about you two then? You excited to be starting your fourth and fifth years." Belle asked with a smile. She knew Ron wouldn't particularly be excited to be returning back to doing school work plus this was his first year for OWLS and she knew they would wreck him. Belle knew that Ron would just be excited to spend another year with Harry. But Belle knew things were different this year. He who must not be named was back. Though the ministry refused to accept it, Belle believed Harry. How else could Cederic have died. Belle frowned briefly thinking about Cederic. She missed him. She wasn't very close friends with him but everyone knew him and loved him. It was sad he was gone.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
"Ron's terrified, aren't ya?" laughed Fred, "But a least Hermione will be on hand, she might make sure you pass this year." Fred and George often messed with Ron but he took the bait and he was easy to wind up but they did it out of love of course. Even among the jokes Fred and George played this year was going to be different. Yes, it was there final year but after Cedric died last year and the return of he who must be named, Hogwarts would never be the same again. Fred turned in time to catch the small frown on Belle's face, she gentle nudged her, "You okay?" he whispered, just so she could hear him.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Belle looked up when Fred nudged her, "Yeah. Just thinking about Ced." She whispered back and bit her lip, fighting back tears. She laid her head on Fred's shoulder and pulled him closer. This year was her last year and she was supposed to be having fun and hanging with her best friends. Not fearing for her life with the return of he who must not be named.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
Fred quickly put an arm around Belle and gentle rubbed her arm, "Hey now, no tears, we haven't event started school yet and my company can't be that bad?" joked Fred. Whenever times were dark or sad Fred and George always felt the need to lift the room. Fred hated seeing Belle upset, it really tug at his heart strings. "Have you got all your stuff for this year?" asked Fred trying to change the subject.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
(I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply I've been really busy this week)

Belle laughed lightly at Fred's words before shaking her head, "No you're company is all I ever need." She said with a smile, "I actually think I've got everything for once. Mum and I went to Diagon Alley last week so I could get everything and I made a list." She replied with a grin. It was usual for Belle to forget something and only remember to get it the day before she headed back to Hogwarts. This year she hoped things were different.

@ Daughter Of Anarchy
(No worries, I know what it can get like)

"If that happens then it will be a miracle," teased Fred, he knew that Belle could be a little forgetful sometimes it was one of her many charms, "Anyway it is is urgent your mum will just an get owl sent to you and if it can wait we can go pick one up in Hogsmeade." The Weasley's this year had been made to pack as soon as they got all their items for Diagon Alley last week, Fred and George trunks were packed, locked and near their door in their room ready to be picked up in the morning. "We've got to be up early tomorrow, so I can imagine as soon as we have all eaten tonight mother will be ushering us off to bed," mused Fred.

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Belle nodded to Fred's words "True. I just hope that my last year at Hogwarts I don't forget anything." she said with a laugh. She laughed at his next words, "Well you know I'm going to end up in yours and George's room for a while before I go to sleep. I can never sleep the night before we leave." she replied with a smile.

(Sorry this is short I'm on my phone)

@ Daughter of Anarchy

Fred nodded, the last night before Hogwarts always kept him up. Maybe it was because he wasn't going to sleep in his bedroom for a good few months or that maybe a tiny part of him was excited to go back to school. Fred and George already knew what they wanted to do after school but for their mum's sake they would finish their school career. "So have you got any plans for after school?" asked Fred, "McGonagall will be asking at some point in the first few weeks."

(No worries)

@ gilderoy-lockhart
Belle smiled and shrugged, "No idea to be honest. You know how I am about English and writing and such so I think I might try to get a job at the Daily Prophet. I know it's a little taboo and Rita Skeeter bonkers but it's the biggest newspaper around and I would love to be able to write for them. I also want to work on getting a book published. Who knows. Maybe I'll be able write a book or segment on the joke shop you and George are going to open." She said with a laugh.
