As I ran down the swirling staircase, I could hear the footsteps of my fellow classmates leaving the room and Hermione shouting after me. "Y/n! Y/n! Wait!" she yelled over the balcony. I reached the bottom of the stairs and ran through a corridor towards the girls' toilets. All that was going through my mind was how my step-father used them disgusting spells on me. Torturing me, all because I didn't do what he said. All because of what I didn't want him to do to me.

Tears started cascading down my cheeks and my vision blurred. I turned a corner to walk into the girls' bathroom, but as I did, I bumped into someone making me fall backwards letting go of my bag and making my books scatter all over the floor.

"Careful there! You don't wanna go knocking yourself out do you?" the tall boy with flaming-red hair said as he offered his hand to help me up. I held his hand as he pulled me up, wiping my tears from my cheeks from my other. "Here I got your books packed back in your bag for you." I turned around and was met by another tall red headed boy that looked exactly the same. He kindly handed me my bag with a smile as he walked to stand next to the other boy.

"Oh, thank you. I'm sorry for running into you." I whispered as I broke eye contact with his deep brown eyes. "It's fine don't worry about it." they said in sync, "I'm Fred and-" "I'm George!" he said interrupting the other boy. "I'm y/n and I'm guessing you two are brothers." I said with a giggle, "twins! We're identical!" they both said simultaneously while smirking at each other.

"So, how come you were crying my lovely?" Fred said as him and his brother sat on a stone bench, patting the space in between them for me to sit. "oh, it's... it's just something that happened in defence against the dark arts that brought back some bad memories." I trailed off, "well if it happened in defence against the dark arts it can't be good. If you wanna talk about it you can always talk to us my darling." George replied giving me a tender smile. "Maybe one day." I mumbled as I stood up, "I gotta get to my next class. It's been nice to meet you both." I waved goodbye and headed back down the corridor I came from.

My next class was history of magic which I heard was the most boring class in the school. My other classes included Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Astronomy and Herbology.

I arrived at the classroom and unfortunately for me I was late. There seemed to be hundreds of books on history filling the wooden bookshelves that were placed against the wall, the windows were only small and there was barely any light coming in. Luckily there was an old iron chandelier hanging in the centre of the room.

"ah, you must be y/n /y/l/n. Please take a seat next to Mr Malfoy." the old man (who was very clearly a ghost) droned. I rolled my eyes and walked to the back corner of the class and took my seat next to Draco.

"Why didn't you sit with us at breakfast? Do you prefer mudbloods and blood traitors over your fellow Slytherins?" he whispered in a harsh tone. "Wow. Way to be a fucking asshole Draco and I sat with them because they are my friends." I said with a scowl plastered on my face. "You'll regret talking to me like that!" he retorted as he tilted his face to my ear, his body so close to me I felt the heat coming off him. I turned my head and looked him dead in the eyes, our lips just centimetres apart. "Will I now?" I questioned him with a smirk playing at my lips. He just scowled and turned his attention back to the Professor.

"I'm Professor Cuthbert Binns for those of you who don't know who I am." he said in a monotone voice looking over at me. "Professor Dumbledore has told me to set all of you an assignment on one of the Hogwarts founders in honour of his birthday next month. Salazar Slytherin." he droned on "you have one month to do this and you must include; the date and location he was born, his abilities and skills, his part in the founding of Hogwarts and finally you must include some details of his descendants." he said as he got a few students to hand out a list of the assignments requirements, "all the books you need for this assignment can be found in the library. Although there is only one book on Salazar Slytherins family tree, it updates magically to show the most recent of his descendants and this is the reason I have given you a month for the assignment." the professor stated.

The rest of the class went on as predicted, boring. Professor Binns voice was by far the most dull and emotionless voice I have ever heard and that includes Snapes.

As class ended, I headed to the great hall for lunch and saw the trio talking to the twins I had met earlier. That's when I realised, they were the brothers Ron mentioned while we as on the train. "Y/N!" Hermione yelled as she waved her hand for me to come over, "are you ok? I wanted to see how you was after class but you ran off before I could." she explained. "yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to them." I said looking over at Fred and George. "They helped me calm down after, you know, what happened." I smiled at the twins. "It was our pleasure love." Fred put his arm around my shoulder and George put his arm around my other shoulder, "yeah, our pleasure darling." he added. "so, why did you run off then?" Ron questioned and I looked up at the twins, "erm...it-" "it's none of your business Ronald." Fred interjected, "yeah, leave her be Ronald." George continued with a laugh and squeezed my shoulder in reassurance. "Well, I'm going get started on this assignment that Professor Binns has set. Anyone want to join me?" Hermione asked, "oh, no. I've got quidditch practice so I'm gonna get something to eat and head there." Harry said as all of us started walking to lunch except Hermione. "But quidditch isn't on this year because of the tournement." I explained. "Yes I know y/n but there is always room for improvement when it comes to the game." Harry winked at me and nudged my shoulder as we entered the great hall.

A/N: I hope that everyone's enjoying the story and i just wanna clear up that Voldemort is not Y/Ns father, but in two or three chapters you will find out is x
