TWENTY EIGHT.

"Stop it Lucius. I said stop." Flo shot up from her bed with a scream, hyperventilating and she looked around her room. Florence had been dreaming of her father hitting her. Again. It had been a while since Florence even spent the night at the manor and it had been two weeks since she left the burrow.

It was the middle of the night and Florence had another nightmare so she padded over to Draco's room and got into bed with him. "Another one?" He said and she nodded. The two siblings hadn't been sleeping for some time now. Flo got under Draco's covers and stared up at the top of his four poster bed.

"This has me so fucked, this whole situation." He said and looked at Flo. "I can't sleep most nights floss, he's in my dreams. He's everywhere." He whispered the last part and sighed.

Flo noticed the sun had slowly arisen and there was shouting downstairs. The siblings shot out of bed and ran downstairs, Flo still in her jeans from the day before. "What the bloody hell is going on here."

Everyone's head snapped towards the two blondes who had now charmed themselves to dress formally. Draco was told to identify the boy, no doubt it was Potter but Draco knew what he had to do. Florence watched as Bellatrix took Hermione into another room and Florence followed her swiftly.

"Don't you dare Bellatrix. Don't you fucking dare." She said pointing her wand at the woman who was on top of Hermione. "She didn't take anything. It was me." Florence said and Bellatrix pushed herself off of Hermione.

Flo took a deep breath. "I took it. From your vault at Gringotts." She said and Bellatrix sneered. "It wasn't girl." She began carving something into Hermione's arm with the dagger. The white haired girl winced as Hermione's screams invaded her bran. "I'm sorry." She said and left to the shop.

Flo noticed that only George was there and she went over to the counter where he was working. "Hey Georgie." She smiled and tapped her fingers on the counter. "Hi Flo." He looked quiet and the hole in his ear was very prominent.

"Do you reckon if I stuck my finger there I could feel your brain." She said and looked into his ear hole. He laughed softly and shook his head. "Probably but I don't particularly want my brain tickled." He said and Flo shrugged "your loss. Wanna have lunch? I bought food." She gestured to the tote bag on her shoulder.

It was full of various foods from the house elves and pastries. "Go on then yeah, can't deny a good scran." He said as Flo put out some food on the counter and pulled out the cutlery. "I feel like Mary Poppins." Flo said and George raised an eyebrow.

"She was only famous because she had an undetectable extension charm on her bag." George rolled his eyes and began eating the sandwich placed in front of him. "How's you and Fred then." Flo flipped off the boy who just winked at her. "You know Georgie, there are plenty of fish in the sea, Luna Lovegood is single I think?"

Flo had been trying to set George up with girls since second year but he turned every single one down. "You know Flo, when we first met and you asked how to tell the difference between me and Fred I knew we were going to be good friends." He muttered and took a swig of water. "Everyone calls me the other twin you know. Fred and his brother George." Flo shook her head.

"They actually call you the uglier twin." She joked and George slapped her on the back of the head with a piece of rolled up parchment. "I'm joking George. You were the one who instantly made me want to be friends with you, because dearest Fred was always the instigator and I knew that you needed another friend to form the iconic quartet with Lee."

The duo thought back on their memories of Hogwarts as Fred walked in the shop door. "Lunch without me?! Rats." He muttered and grabbed a croissant from George. "What are we talking about then? Pranks?" Before Flo knew the twins, they pranked her and pretended there was only one twin for about two weeks.

Or when they pushed her down the moving stairs in first year and George apologised by giving her a small chocolate frog. "George was always the nicest. Perhaps I went for the wrong twin." Flo jested.

"Perhaps i went for the wrong Malfoy." Fred rolled his eyes jokingly and pulled a bottle of fire whiskey out of his suit jacket. "Bloody hell Fred Weasley I've never loved you more than now." Flo said and they took turns sipping from the bottle.

And that's how they spent their last true night of freedom without worrying for a thing
