"Tell me, what were the dementors searching for?" The girl boldly spoke, "they were searching for Pettigrew, you know he was spotted recently after not being scene for twelve years. We believe, meaning our family believes, he was searching for you and Harry. He got bold thought he could finish off what Voldemort started." 

She breathed gently, "So he randomly appears, where has he been the past twelve years?"

The professor told he truthfully that he and everyone else had not even a glimpse of an idea where he had been or how he had been hiding undetected. 

Conversation between the two fell short and Natalia left to go find the twins, whom she had told earlier that she would find, though it had been over an hour. Holding the map in her hand she scanned it before tapping it and speaking, "mischief managed" and heeding to the Gryffindor Common room where both boys were. 

Speaking the password Natalia entered the almost empty common room, only seeing Fred and George sprawled across the sofa's. Resting her head on Fred's lap she sighed tiredly. "Hey Lia, wanna grab some dinner, the feast should be starting in a couple of minutes." George spoke, only responding with a quite "mmh" the girl stood. 

"Well come on we don't wanna miss it." Both boys scrambled to their feet, racing each other and their best friend out of the portrait of the fat lady. 

The three of them raced down the moving stairs to see students filing into the great hall, once inside they noticed them their usual seats were occupied so rather than causing a fuss and scaring second years to death they sat at the end of the table, closest to the teachers. 

In mere seconds after they sat the feat began, anything you could imagine right in front of your eyes. Except desert of though the school rarely cared what the students ate or even did they never brought out deserts until the students had had their protein which they couldn't of cared less what it consisted of.

Mumbling the three dug into their food. 

They had unanimously decided that they would go back to their secret room tonight until George spoke, "SHIT! I completely forgot, I haven't done my astronomy essay." 

"George, that's due tomorrow, its been set for weeks." Nat and Fred laughed loudly at his stupidity and forgetfulness. "It's fine I'll go do it after we've eaten then meet you there." 

After desert which consisted of Brownie's and Ice-cream, Nat and Fred made their way to what they had decided to call the Marauders entrance, deciding it sounded cool enough. 

"Okay climb on my shoulders." Fred spoke quietly knowing students were still around. "Fred your going to have to duck down a bit more." They laughed stupidly at each other and themselves before being finally able to reach the bricks and get into the Marauders entrance. 

Falling into the room still laughing gently, they raced over to their instruments, Fred picking up his usual guitar whilst Nat opted for her acoustic guitar but instead of standing she sat. Raising an eyebrow Fred looked at her, "What? George isn't here so we can duet." Without being asked Fred grabbed his  acoustic guitar instead and sat down. 

Throughout the song Nat looked into Fred's eyes smiling, singing whilst he looked deeply into hers. 

The song came to a close and they both stood, not breaking eye contact. 

Moving closer together the eye contact grew intense. Another step. Two more. 

Eye to eye Natalia took a sharp breath. The bridges of their noses touching. 

Leaning forward their lips interlocked, Fred's hands finding her waist and hers fell up into his hair. 

 After a moment of blissful silence each party drew back unsure of what to say. 

Grabbing her jacket Nat fled the Marauders entrance, leaving Fred confused, conflicted and alone
