Behind the Fire (A Fred Weasley Sequel)

~Chapter Three ~

As the summer came to a close Grimmuald place seemed to become more busy. More Order members would turn up out of the blue and Mrs Weasley would launch us out of the kitchen so they could have a meeting.

I was sat on my bed reading when Fred and George apparated in. Fred looked mildly annoyed at his brother,

" There's another order meeting tonight, Mad eye just arrived." George said excitedly.

"And?" I failed to see why this news was so important to us, we'd been trying to eaves drop all week and we still hadn't heard much with the extendable ears.

"We have to find out what they are saying. We're leaving Hogwarts soon and then we will probably join the order too!" He explained.

"Exactly, you two will be leaving soon and I have another year and then we can join the order and we won't need to eavesdrop!" I pointed out.

"That's what i've been saying. I can't be bothered to try again, we're going back to Hogwarts tomorrow anyway." Fred agreed with me, sitting down on the bed.

George looked a little bit defeated, "you guys are boring!"

"Sorry George, I'm tired and I actually need to try at school this year or I'll end up getting no where in life."

"What does that mean?" Fred asked, sitting up and running a hand through his giver hair.

"It means I can't just cruise through my N.E.W.T's, you know I want to be a healer I don't want to sell jokes forever." I sighed and shut my book, sitting up next to Fred and looking between them equally. "I've been thinking. I need to get an 'O' in potions and I don't think I will be able to get it at the moment. I need to work harder this year, study harder."

"But why would you want to become a healer?" George asked, prompting a hit on the shoulder from his brother,

"Shut up."

"I'm sorry guys, it's just now your planning this whole adventure with your shop, I'm just worrying about what I'm going to do."

"I don't understand," George said, "Your going to help us in the shop. We can't do it without you."

I smiled albeit, a little half heartedly.

"It doesn't matter Leah, whatever you do after you have finished Hogwarts is up to you but, both of us will be there for you. We will even help you in potions."

"Thanks." I muttered before reaching over and giving them the biggest hugs I could.

Due to the extensive amount of guests, Molly served breakfast at ten o'clock to ensure most people would be there. As I sat between Fred and George at the table, I could hardly see the food in front of me. It seemed like everyone had hands reaching for the jam, toast, butter and Marmalade.

"Oi that's my toast!" I snapped, slapping Fred's hand away and grinning, there is nothing like a Weasley breakfast.

"It's great food Mrs. Weasley!" I complimented.

"Thank you dear," she smiled politely. " I'm gonna to miss you all when you go back tomorrow."

"Don't worry Molly, they'll be back in a flash." Sirius commented from the head of the table.

"Speaking of which, didn't your letters come in the post this morning?" Remus remarked.

"Mum?" The boys chorused

"Oh yes! I put them on the side, Harry be a dear and pass them round the table." Molly said.

I wiped my hands on my jeans before plucking my letter from Harry's hands.
