Chapter 16 (Part 2)

Hey guys, Butterlover328 here!! I know it's been a long time since my last update, but hopefully since it's longer than normal, that will make up for it. I have no idea when my next update will be due to school, lacrosse, and other activities I have this semester, but I'll try to get something out before the school year ends, although I can't make any promises. Anyways, I hope that you enjoy the update, and I'll see you guys later!! Bye!!

In the midst of the danger and chaos, the twins had almost forgotten about their exam results. So when Hermione dragged them to the board that listed the scores of the first years in the Great Hall, they were not surprised to find out that Hermione had made the top of the class, with Harry only a few points behind. Draco had taken third with only five points behind Harry, and Percy was only a point or two behind him. Even though Neville accidentally messed up on his Potions practical exam, his score in Herbology brought his grade up tremendously, landing him a solid E overall and 10th in their year.

The day before they boarded the train to go home, Percy received a letter from his mother. As always, a package of blue cookies arrived with it, which he shared with his friends underneath the tree by the Black Lake. The letter explained that the twins would meet up with her when they went to the Muggle side of King's Cross Station, and they would spend the night in the hotel she was staying at before taking a Portkey to Manhattan. The letter also warned him not to open a letter that would be given to them by the professors, and to stop Harry from doing it as well. Percy was a little curious at that, but would follow his mother's wishes as he knew she had told him to do so for a good reason.

When they received the letters the professors were handing out, Percy made sure to be next to Harry. As he was handed his, the hair on the back of his neck stood up as a strange feeling swept over him.

"Don't open the letter." Percy cautioned as his brother was about to break the seal.

"Why not?? It's just a letter." Harry asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"I don't know, but Mom told me not to, so she must have a reason." Percy asked. Harry shrugged, but knew that Sally was right more often than not, so he and Percy stuck the envelopes in their trunks when no one was looking.

"I always hope they forget to give us these stupid letters." Fred said as he received his letter.

"I know Gred, they always say the same thing every year. 'Don't use magic outside of school, don't use magic in front of muggles, blah blah blah.'" George spoke, opening his at the same time as his twin.

Harry's eyes widened when the hairs on the back of his neck rose as his instincts suddenly went on haywire around the Weasley Twins, and in a moment of panic he pulled on the twin bond to reassure himself. Percy wasn't expecting it as he was glancing at the Weasley Twins in curiosity to try to discover why his mother was so insistent on them, and nearly collapsed when he felt the strong tug on the bond. When he looked at Harry, he could see the well-hidden fear in his eyes, and immediately started sending calming thoughts through the bond to soothe him. When Harry started to calm down, they silently agreed to dispose of the letters as soon as they got off the train, and to make sure they never opened them when they were given out each year, no matter the consequences.

The next day passed by quickly for the twins, as they spent the hours on the train making memories with their friends. They were only interrupted by Weasley once who , and he was dealt with quickly by Fred and George. The initial panic that Harry had around them had subsided, but he felt itchy around them and felt like he needed to take a bath when they left with their brother in tow.
