crashing down // Fred Weasley

The Godfather

"See I told you she's dating Cedric." Ron laughed next to Harry at the breakfast table whilst reading the 'daily prophet.'

"I don't think-" Harry started but was cut off by Ron as Sophie and Fred sat down across from them.

"Ah Sophie." Said Ron who was shooting the girl a happy smirk. "How's your lover boy?"

Sophie choked on her pumpkin juice and shot eyes between Harry and Ron for a minute before looking at Fred in a confused way and by her surprise he was just as red in the face. Sophie tilted her head a little before pointing to the twin and then looking at Ron.

"No no." Ron laughed. "You and Fred" he screeched as Fred sent him an awful glare. Shaking his brothers anger off he looked back at Sophie with a smile again. "Cedric Diggory."

"For crying out loud Ronald your not still going on-" but she was cut off when Hermione had tossed her the most recent newspaper. Sophie skimmed over the short paragraph under 'Me, Myself and I: Rita Skeeter'

"Champion Sophie Potter showing her love for rival Cedric Diggory in the Triwizard Tournament. Lovers soon to be enemies, will their love hold them together or will this tournament break them apart."

Sophie read her words furiously before thinking her embarrassment had come to an end she saw Hermione point to another paragraph further down the page.

"That Diggory boy must be heartbroken, Sophie potter triwizard champion caught every weekend on school grounds with hogwarts student who's name is Fredrick Weasley. Is this a love triangle in the making, who will the girl choose, which boy loves her the most and what will we see next week? Stay tuned for more of Me, Myself and I right here in the Daily Prophet"

"I am going to murder that women." Sophie screeched tearing up the paper. "How dare she."

"It's just the paper Soph calm down." Harry said quietly.

"Just the paper!" She exclaimed. "This lunatic is making me out to be a player." She cried. "I am not with Cedric and I am not at all with Fred."

Ouch

"Look as long as we know it's not the truth then what's the problem." Hermione started but was quickly interrupted by a very familiar owl flying over head with a large box and dropping it in front of the Weasley that started all of the commotion.

"Ooo..look mums sent me something." Ron said in awe as the box landed in front of him.

"Well don't wait for the sun to set." Sophie sniggered. "Open it."

And he did. He unwrapped the box quickly before pulling off its lid and rummaging through the purple paper. But what he pulled out wasn't expected and his face dropped at the sight. There in his hands was a long dress like robe with the ugliest of burgundy colour and a pink frilly lace over its edges. Dress robes. Very old dress robes.

"Mums sent me a dress?" He quivered embarrassed.

Harry looked the cloth up and down before laughing lightly. "Is there a bonnet then?" He asked sarcastically before beginning to rummage through the box. He pulled out a white frilly item and yelled victoriously before Ron told him to put it away.

Trying to rid himself of embarrassment he stalked over to his sister along the table and held the clothing up. "This must be for you Ginny." He said bluntly.

Without a second thought Ginny shook her head and gawped in disgust. "I'm not wearing that old thing it's horrid." She gasped.

"Well are you lot coming then?" Seamus asked completely ignoring Ron's clothes in hand.
