"Do you think it's a good idea to prank her Fred?" George whispers as they creep closer to a sleeping Y/n.
"No. But I want to get her back, I'm the better looking twin." Fred whispers back, preparing the prank as George rolls his eyes.
They wanted her to wake up to a loud bang and when she sits up, she gets a face full of hair changing powder. A lame prank but didn't want to do any permanent damage, even though the color will last a week or two.
"Did you bring it George?" Fred was setting up the plates that contained the loads of powder.
"Bring what?" George set up his set of plates as well.
"The thing that is supposed to wake her up?"
"I thought we were yelling her name." Fred mentally face palms, realizing that he didn't really discuss.
"Okay. Go on that side and on the count of three, we will scream her name then hit her with the powder." George nodded and got in position.
"One. Two. Three. Y/N!"
Y/n shot up in her bed, surprised at the sudden call at her name. As soon as she shot up, she felt herself get hit with powder on both sides.
"Oh My Godric!" Y/n yelled then coughed up powder. She stood up to see two tall red heads leaving her room. "Fred! George!" She put on her house slippers, grabs a stick (that was next to the door) and chased them downstairs, where everyone else was.
"Are you kidding me?! I have to shower and we don't have time for this!" Y/n chases them around the kitchen, waving the stick around. That was until Harry put his arm out to stop Y/n from chasing them, taking the stick out of her hand.
"What is all this ra- oh dear." Mrs. Weasley stopped once she saw Y/n's state, her hair changing and powder all over her. "Fred and George! I'll deal with you later!"
Fred and George took this chance to run away upstairs. "Let's get you cleaned up dear. Lucky for you, they've done this prank on Ron before and I know an easy way to get most of the powder off. It does last a week." Y/n nods as Mrs. Weasley wraps her arms around her, leading her upstairs.
Mrs. Weasley had gotten most of the powder off of Y/n, but there were obvious steaks of different colors in her hair.
"Alright dear, go get your luggage and meet us downstairs." Y/n nods and heads into her room to retrieve the luggage.
She is met with Hermione who starts laughing at her hair. "Honestly, you make it work."
"Very funny Hermione. But I had to wake up to this surprise." Y/n points to her bed that is still covered in powder.
"Don't worry Y/n. I'm sure you'll get them back. Let's head downstairs now."
After everyone brought their suitcases downstairs, they all headed to the provided cars from the Ministry.
Y/n, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Percy all stuffed into a car and made their way to King's Cross. Y/n was silent the whole car ride, trying to find ways to get them back. She looked out the window and saw the same dog from before, watching them drive away.
"Don't worry about Fred and George, Y/n." Percy started, gaining the attention of the girl. "If you need to get them back, let me know and I'll give you special privileges" Percy smiles at the girl while Ron glares at him.
"I'll keep that in mind Percy." Y/n smiles as we approach King's Cross. Everyone piles out of the cars to put their items on the trolleys and made their way to platform 9 3/4.
"Right then." Mr. Weasley looked around at the large group he had. "Let's do this in pairs, as there are so many of you. I'll go through first with Harry."
Y/n paired up with Hermione, Fred and George, Ginny and Molly, which left Ron to go with Percy.
We made our way through the wall. Hermione and Y/n led Ginny to an empty carriage to place their trunks on there.
The three walked back to the Weasleys to bid them goodbye. Mrs. Weasley kissed all of her children, then Hermione, then Y/n and Harry.
Y/n appreciated how welcoming Mrs. Weasley was to her, seeing as she never really felt a mother's touch. "I've made you all sandwiches." She reaches into her purse and hands everyone a sandwich bag, everyone name written on it.
"Thank you Mrs. Weasley." Y/n accepts the sandwich and smiles at the older woman.
"No problem dear. And if Fred and George bothers you, just write to me." She winks at her and looks towards Mr. Weasley and Harry.
Everyone climbs onto the train, but Hermione, Ron and Y/n stay behind, waiting for Harry to climb on as well. Once he made it, the four walked to the halls of the train until they found an empty compartment, at the end of the train.
They looked in to see a man fast asleep under his coat. Walking in, Y/n looked around to see a case with the man's name on it, realizing that it was Remus asleep under the coat.
"Who d'you reckon he is?" Ron asks as everyone sits down, Harry closing the compartment door.
"Professor R.J. Lupin." Hermione answered.
"How d'you know that?"
"It's on his case Ronald." Hermione points at the luggage above the sleeping man that printed out "Professor R.J. Lupin"
So much for keeping our distance. Y/n thought as Harry started to talk about what he needed to tell us three.
Y/n's widen at the news, Ron looking thunderstruck, Hermione finding the courage to speak. "Sirius Black escaped to come after you? Oh, Harry... you'll have to be really, really careful. Don't go looking for trouble, Harry-"
"I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me." Harry cuts Hermione off, annoyed that she thought that.
"That is true Harry, but once it finds you, you usually follow it." Y/n points out quietly, not wanting to irritate Harry even more.
Ron and Hermione change the subject and start to talk about Hogsmeade. Y/n looked over at Harry who was frowning at the mention of Honeydukes.
"You okay Harry?" Y/n whispers over to Harry. Hermione seemed to have notice Harry's sad state.
"Won't it be nice to get out of school for a bit and explore Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked.
"'Spect it will. You'll have to tell me when you've found out?" Harry responds joylessly.
"What d'you mean?" Ron asked.
"I can't go. The Dursleys didn't sign my permission form, and Fudge wouldn't either."
Ron begin to give Harry ideas on ways he could just sneak into Hogsmaede, but Hermione just yelled at him for giving him such ideas. They started to fight once more about their pets, once again.
Y/n leans over to Harry and whispers to him. "Honestly Harry, just forge the signature. I'm sure they won't know."
Hermione hits Y/n's arm as she hears her say that. "I thought Ron was the bad influence."
"We all have our moments Hermione." Y/n looked over at Remus sleeping and felt herself getting tired. "Professor Lupin is making me want to sleep. You don't have to wake me if the food cart comes by. I have Mrs. Weasley's sandwich."
Y/n leans against the seat but Harry quietly taps her. "You can lean on me Y/n. I don't mind."
Y/n smiles at Harry and takes him up on his offer, "Thank you Harry." And with that, Y/n takes a small nap.

Y/n woke up to the train rattling. She looked around and saw that it was already nightfall.
"Are we there yet?" Y/n sat up in her seat and looked at the faces staring at her.
"No, not even close. Why are we stopping?" Hermione looks at her watch while Harry gets up and looks out the compartment. The train stops, resulting us to jerk forwards and without warning, all of the lights went out.
"Ouch! Ron that was my foot." Hermione told him but it seemed like he didn't care, he was too busy looking out the window.
"There's something moving out there. I think people are coming aboard." Ron's breath fogged up the window, showing how close he was to it.
The whole room begin to get colder when a large dark figure came to our compartment. It's dark cold figure opened the door and looked directly at Harry.
It did something to Harry and he fainted, until Remus woke up, shinning a bright light at the figure. The figure disappears and the lights turn back on. After a while, the train starts moving again.
Y/n gets off the seat and sits in front of Harry, laying on the seat, Hermione joins her.
"Harry? Are you okay Harry?" Y/n and Hermione try to shake Harry awake, but it doesn't work until Ron starts lightly tapping his face. This caused him to wake and sit up in his seat.
"Here. Eat it. It'll help. It's alright? It's chocolate." Remus hands Harry a piece of chocolate and he takes it, being a bit skeptical.
"What was that thing?" Harry looks towards the door, where the figure had stood.
"It was a dementor. One of the guards for Azkaban. Searching the train for Sirius Black. If you'll excuse me, I'll need to have a little word with the driver." Remus stands up and walks to the door.
"Eat. You'll feel better. Um." Remus looks at Y/n. "Do you mind coming with me young lady?"
Y/n nods but she turns and sees her friends with worried looks. "I'll be fine." She reassures them and walks out the door, closing it behind her and catching up with Remus.
"So dear. When did you decide to change your hair?"
"I didn't decide actually. The infamous Weasley twins decided to prank me this morning. Mrs. Weasley got most of it off, it looked worse this morning."
"Mmm. And forging the signature dear?" He looks at Y/n with a smirk on his face.
"I was only joking. Besides, Hermione would never let him do it. I thought you were asleep."
"I woke up to Hermione and Ron, is it?" Y/n nods which allows Remus to continue. "I woke up a little bit to them bickering about their pets."
The two reach the front where the driver is and Remus stops. "You wait right here Y/n. I'll be right back." Y/n nods and waits outside of the door.
A few minutes passed and Remus popped his head out of the window. "Actually dear, you can go head back to your friends. I need to owl McGonagall."
Y/n nods and makes her way back to her friends, not before bumping into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry." Y/n apologizes and sees Thomas. "Oh! Tommy!" The two hug each other, it has been months since they've last seen each other. Y/n had to admit that he has gotten a bit handsome.
"Hello love. Trying something new?" Thomas points to Y/n hair.
"No actually. I present you a prank, brought to you by the Weasley twins. Care to walk me back to my compartment?"
"I don't mind at all. Lead the way." Y/n passes by and Thomas takes this opportunity to grab her hand. Y/n didn't mind, hid her red cheeks and led the way.
Y/n and Thomas continued their conversation, still holding hands. As the passed compartments, no one seemed to mind, except for Fred. When he saw them pass by, holding hands, he quickly stood up and stuck his head out of the door to see the two smiling at each other.
"What's wrong Fred?" George asked from his seat.
"Nothing. I just thought I saw something." Fred sits back, closing the door. He remained in his own thoughts, trying to deny the feeling that he felt a bit jealous. Quickly pushing the thought aside because that was Ron's friend and she was two years younger than him.
"Okay Tommy. I'll see you at the dinner?" Y/n stops in front of her compartment, facing Thomas.
"I'll see you there love. Save me a seat." He smiles at Y/n and waves at her friends staring at them. The awkwardly wave back before looking like they were doing something.
Thomas walks away, letting go of Y/n's hand, honestly making her feel a bit sad.
Woah. Wait. Why am I sad? He's just a friend. Y/n thought as she watched him walk away. She enters the compartment and sits down next to Harry, in front of Hermione.
Hermione stares at her, smirking while the boys look at her, dumbfounded.
"What?" Y/n asks.
"Nothing. But just friends y/n?" Hermione teases.
"Shove off Hermione. And stop looking at me like that you two." Hermione laughs as the two boys stand up to retrieve their luggage, seeing as they were arriving at Hogwarts soon.
Hermione leans over and whispers to the girl. "I've got to know Y/n, since when do friends hold hands like that?"
Y/n glares at her and stands up to retrieve her own luggage. "There was nothing special about the way we held hands."
"Yes but why did you two hold hands?" Harry comments.
"Harry! Not you too." Y/n can see Remus walking back towards them. "Not a word." Y/n did not want Remus to know about him, in case he wanted to give Thomas a hard time.
Remus walks in. "Hello again. I just need to grab my suitcase." He reaches over it. "I will see you four at dinner." He smiles and leaves the room again.
The train soon halts to a stop and every student piles out. Hermione continued to make comments about Y/n and Thomas as the four walks to the carriage.
"I'm gonna find out who you like this year Hermione, so I can tease you about it." Y/n whispers, not wanting Ron and Harry to listen.
"Like? So you do like him?" Hermione whispers back excitedly.
"What? No! I didn't say like." Y/n protested but before Hermione can say anything, the carriage stops and Y/n walks out.
"Eager for Hogwarts Y/n?" Ron questions.
"Yes but I am also starving."
"Oh yeah! I can agree on that!" Harry nods in agreement with Y/n and Ron.
The four make their way into the castle and sit quietly at the Gryffindor table, waiting for their third year to begin, starting with a huge feast.
