"I know what you are thinking right now" Katie looked at me "But we can't be sure!"

"I don't care Katie, maybe I do but we have to do something! But you sure that sh-"

"One hundred percent!" she assured me "Help me, will you?"

"I don't know if I can"

"Come on Fred I know you can! Just try!" Katie told me

"But what if-"

"NO!" Katie screamed at me "Now please help me!"

As soon as we entered the Great Hall George came over to us "Holy Merlin!"

"I know! But we can't be sure yet" Katie told Georgie

"Why not!" my twin asked

"Because I found this" Katie handed him a bottle even I haven't seen before

Georgie opened it the bottle "Is that-?" he smelled "Polyjuice-potion?"

"I think so, but I am not 100% sure!" Katie stated

"You didn't tell me about this!" I told Katie disappointed

"I am sorry Fred, but I wasn't sure! Maybe we should find Slughorn" Katie suggested

"The potions teacher after Snape, right?" Georgie asked "That is brilliant" he walked through the hall looking for the professor still with the bottle in his hand.

Katie and I decided to follow him

"Excuse me! I am George Weasley" he introduced himself to a man

"Ah! I heard about you! The Weasley twins with the shop" he laughed "Slughorn! Ah Miss Bell good to see you!" he introduced himself to Georgie before looking at Katie

"What bottle are holding there?" he asked curious

"We actually don't know professor" Katie explained "We think it is Polyjuice potion, but we are not sure"

"Let me see" George passed the bottle to Slughorn "Ah yes! That is Polyjuice potion but a bloody strong one if you ask me" he explained "Where did you find this?" he asked confused

"I was just outside of the hall and I found the bottle and I was curious!"

"Listen! Don't drink it! I suppose that this could have dark magic in it and we don't know what will happen if you take it!" he told us

"Of course!" Katie told him

"Good, good" Slughorn said "Maybe I will keep it for further inspections if that is alright?"

"Yeah sure! Thank you for your help!" Katie thanked him

"Anytime" Slughorn said before starting a conversation with another student

"No don't do that Freddie" my brother suddenly said

"What do you mean?" I asked him but I secretly knew what he was thinking

"We can't be sure yet! We have to wait" my brother told me

"I am gonna get some hot chocolate" Katie said "Do you want something"

"Sure, why not" I told her and Georgie and I sat down

"I can just imagine how you are feeling Freddie, but we will know soon"

"I can't take this anymore Georgie! It is a roller coaster of emotions and it hurts!" I told him "I don't know how long I will able to wait"

"I am so sorry Freddie! Katie will tell Madam Pomfrey and she will be able to help!" my twin told me

"Thank you for being here for me"

"Of course, Freddie! What are you even talking about? I am your twin forgot that? It is my duty to be there for you" George laughed

"FRED!" I heard someone scream my name and turned around to see Percy shouting "WE NEED YOU, NOW!"
