I woke up with a heavy head and headache. What happened? And then it hit me. Yesterday night's event hit me like a bullet train. Oh Shit! Oh shit! I got up and saw that I was in a sleeping bag on the floor of the twins' room. "Ah. You're finally awake." Said George and Fred turned around to face me when he heard this. "How much did I tell you guys?" I asked.
"You told us-"

"About how you're from the future-"

"And about that friend of yours-"

"Named Alice." The twins said.

"Did I tell any of the events in detail?" I asked; scared that I might have told it all. "Nope." The twins said in unison. "You just told us how you did not want to get stuck here and all that. We couldn't enter the girls dorm and none of the girls were back, so we decided that you could stay in our room cause' your sleeping bag was still here." I then asked, "Are you guys mad at me? I hid such a big secret and told tons of lies to hide it all; especially from my best friends." They came over and gave me a hug. "You had your reasons to keep it hidden. "Are we and Dumbledore the only people who know about this?" They asked and I nodded.

We all went to breakfast and that is when I saw it. People were whispering and laughing a bit too. The second page of the Daily Prophet; a large size picture of me (god knows how they got a hold of that) and the caption: TIMETRAVELER AT HOGWARTS?

Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry is truly a place of wonder and mystery. With the great wizard Dumbledore as its Headmaster, and Harry Potter the boy who lived as a student there, you would think the school couldn't be more miraculous. We got information that there is indeed a time traveler at Hogwarts and that she is a death eater trying to resurrect He-who-must-not-be-named back to power. She is Cassie Smith, a fifth year at Hogwarts is this know it all and dangerous personality.

She has joined Hogwarts just this year, but seems to know as much as a seventh year or older would. She sometimes seems to let it slip that she knows what the events are going to be. She is also seen in the company of the Weasley twins; Fred and George Weasley, Luna Lovegood and even Harry Potter. Is she trying to steer them into the dark arts? Is she truly who people think she is? Students will now have to beware of the time traveler at Hogwarts.

"This is just- How?" said, the twins and I at the same time. "Was there anyone else with us?" I asked. "No. It was just us. Oh, and two snogging 7th years, but you were telling lame jokes by then" Fred said. "Are you always lame?" George asked. "(a) I'm the King/Queen of lameness. (b) e have more pressing matters at hand." I said. They were too many whispers in the great hall, some thinking it may be true and some not believing it at all so we went to the corridor. That's it. Rita Skeeters the pest. "Was there a bug anywhere near us?" I asked. "A bug?" Fred asked. "Yes a bug. A beetle to be exact." I replied. "It was dark. We have no idea." George said. "What is with a bug though?" asked George.

"Rita Skeeters. She is an unregistered Animagi. I can't tell more. I can't really change the timeline too. This is one of the things in which I have to keep quiet about. I can't alter the timeline too much. Me coming here, having relations to the Weasleys, that news coming all are alterations in the timeline. I can't make anymore." I said in a quiet voice.

Most people thought it was rubbish. The golden trio, the twins, Lee, Luna, Cedric, Ginny and Terrance used to help in keeping away tough people. (A.K.A people who are too nosy).

------

Since there were no classes yet (due to the holidays), I had a walk around the Black Lake and was going back to the Common Room, when a small group consisting of 2 ravenclaws, a hufflepuff, 3 slytherins and a gryffindor surrounded me. "What is it?" I asked. "Is it true?" one of them asked.

"Is what is true?"

"That you are a time traveler and a Death Eater?"

"No."

"We think you are though."

"You think whatever the hell you want. Now if you'd excuse me, I have to go."

"You always wear full sleeves and cover your arm. What is there to hide?"

"There is nothing to hide. If you guys where so daft to not notice this, it is really cold and even snowed. And I think that you really are daft, because you guys are wearing Cardigans and covering your arms too. And I do roll up my sleeves often."

"Prove it then."

I rolled up my sleeves and showed them my bare forearms. "See? No death eater mark. Now that I have proven myself to your highnesses, I better be going my way. Bye" I putting a sticking a small sticking charm on their shoes and walked off.

----

"-and then I proved that I am not a death eater." I explained to the twins. "Since you know about the future-" Fred started. "We were wondering-" continued George. "If you could tell something about us." They finished together. "Sorry but I can't. You're not supposed to know your future are you?" I asked rhetorically. We continued to make ideas on joke products, me holding back from actually giving the full info out. I gave small clues though.

-----

The next day, I got up sat in one of the armchairs in the common room. I was reading the book that Hermione gave me for Christmas. I saw Fred coming over from upstairs, looking too innocent to be himself. He had that look of I'm-a-pure-angel-and-did-no-harm-or-prank-anyone look. "Hi-" just before I could complete the 'i' of Hi, someone shoved something in my mouth. I turned around and saw that it was George. "What i-" I felt queasy and the twins pushed a bucket towards me. Puking Pastilles. "Why would you do that?!" I managed to barely ask. "Eat this purple end." Said the twins and gave me the purple end of the candy. "I can't. Whatever you put in this thing to make someone puke, is too strong." I said and shoved the candy in my mouth just as I finished saying this. I felt back to normal and ended having to drink a glass of water and putting 3 mints in my mouth together to get rid of the taste.

We just laughed; me thinking of the twins' funny and worried faces and they because of my face. And that is how the holidays went. People slowly started to understand that I am indeed not a threat to Hogwarts and forgot about the whole article. And soon it was New Year's Eve.

I had invited to the Ravenclaw party (because of Luna and Terrance), Hufflepuff party (because of Cedric) and Gryffindor Party (because well that is my house). I decided to just a wear a red turtle neck and black pants along with canvas shoes. I would spend the first hour and Hufflepuff, an hour at the Ravenclaw one, then at the Gryffindor one and finally Terrance had asked me to meet him at the Astronomy Tower.

The Ravenclaw Party was a blast. There was even a game where we had to find words out of a Dictionary and the first one would get a prize. Sadly I did not win. The hufflepuff one was fun too and I danced a lot and had conversation with some of the girls I barely knew.

Gryffindor was the most fun since I knew everyone and we all went crazy. Fred, George and I pranked some people, danced like there is no tomorrow along with Lee, Ron mainly talked and ate, Hermione joined the fun for a while, and then went to read something, and Lavender and Parvati Patil, were just sitting in a corner and chatting.

"I'll be back next year. Get it?" I told the twins. They just shook their heads, hearing my lame joke. "Where' you going though?" they asked. "Meeting Terrance" I said, as I climbed out the portrait hole. I walked through the dark halls and climbed the stairs to the astronomy tower.

I saw Terrance standing near the open window. Looking outside. "Hi." I said, adrenaline pumping through my veins due to all the fun I had today. "Hi." He replied. The only thing that let us know about our surroundings was the dim light coming out the window. The only witness of this encounter being the stars and the moon, that were shining bright as if the New Year happiness was radiating off of them.

"These past few weeks have been really fun. The way you don't mind what others think of you. The way you don't change for anyone. The way you're funny and serious at the appropriate times. How you're a loyal friend. Ever since the Yule Ball and even before that, I felt that you were different to me. I feel different when I'm around you. I don't know how to explain it. It's a feeling."

"Don't be afraid. Tell me what's on your mind."

"It's just. I-I think I like you."

"You think?" I mocked, but inside my heart was beating; threatning to burst out.

"I like you. I don't know what you think of that, but I love you."

"I'll show you what I think." I said and pressed my lips against his. He kissed back and I felt a surge of something like electricity flowing through me. I placed both my arms around his neck and he placed one hand on my waist and the other around my neck. We soon broke apart and stared at each other.

"Would you like to make this official?" he asked.

"Yes." I replied.

Blue eyes met brown. "Would you Cassie Smith, like to be my girlfriend?"

I gave a peck on his lips and said, "Yes."

We spend the rest of the night sitting on the window; our legs dangling out. Staring at the stars, talking and having a slice of cake that he had brought from the kitchens.

At that moment, I forgot about everything that happened to me. With just the stars, moon and Terrance in my mind, I slowly drifted off to sleep.
