Summary
Fred Weasley was a wizard of many, many, many talents. Charming, handsome, hilarious, charismatic, clever, and definitely not the meaner of the twins. At least that was what he told himself when a stroke of benevolence had him pulling whoever was running down the halls well past curfew into the tight alcove that he was hiding in. And he told himself that maybe he should just accept that he is the meaner of the twins because apparently being nice brought him into rotten situations like hiding from Filch with a blasted Slytherin.
Lottie Hatter was a witch of many talents. Intelligent, ambitious, observant, pretty, cunning, and down right rebellious. She blamed her childhood and her creative imagination for making her utterly miserable in the Slytherin house. But it was the natural order of things. She was a pureblood. Her parents were Slytherins. And her betrothed and his family were Slytherins as well.

Summary
Fred knew loyalty. He was not a chump who ran away at the sign of trouble. He stood by his friends and family through everything, no matter what. And he especially didn't think that Harry was lying. No, scratch that. He knew that Harry wasn't lying. There was no other explanation for Diggory's death. Still, the revelation of it all was a landslide of information and Fred found himself still trying to understand it all.
Lottie knew deception. All her life she was familiar with it. Her family was full of lies. And the families she grew up with were full of lies. Not that she cared. She was not above it and often lied: to others; and, especially, to herself. It was a way of coping that Theo told her was unhealthy, but she indulged herself in it anyway because it was easy. Which was exactly why she told herself on the train ride back from Hogwarts that she would stop thinking about how the Triwizard Tourney ended and any of its implied consequences. All she wanted to do was lie to herself and be comfortable.

Summary
Things had changed for Fred. It wasn't even just that he was an official drop out. Or even that he had started his own business. Or even that said business was about to open their doors. It was how Sirius was dead. It was how his baby sister and brother and their friends broke into the ministry. It was how the Prophet finally published Voldemort's return. It was the dead cold fear in the eyes of wizards and witches he saw in the streets of Diagon and how parents cracked wilting smiles at their children. It was everything that happened.
Things had changed for Lottie, and things would continue to change. She knew that time only marched forward and each step took her closer and closer to her doom. Not that she wasn't already (doomed, that is), being trapped in the house with her dying father and caught in the turmoil of political tensions of the wizarding world. There was little hope for her survivability in a war, if and when it broke out. Especially considering her only safety net was on the verge of death. Her upcoming inheritance as Lady of the House was no longer an obligation. It, along with whatever horrible future Fate had determined for her, was an inevitability.
