She Played To Forget- Fred Weasley

Chapter 24~ Paper Planes

A/n~ Happy new year! Let's hope for a better 2021, love you all!

Lessons were just about to begin and Fred had potions with Willow. They didn't sit near each other inside the classroom after Willow moved to the back and Fred 'accidentally' blew up the Veritaserum potion they made so Snape moved him next to Hermione and Ron.
...

Willow had just finished getting ready when all the Slytherin students had piled out of the common room into the hallways dreading their next lesson. As soon as she left she'd felt a pull on her right wrist, it was Fred. He'd come to walk her to lesson but her attention had quickly been drawn away from Fred to the new decorations surrounding the hall.

Hogwarts had gone into full-out Christmas mode. Fully decorated trees stood proud in every corner of the corridors. Tinsel decorated the stone walls and mistletoe appeared above the the students. Each common room had its own ,colour specific, decorated tree.

The students had taken a vote this year and demanded that mistletoe shows above you and the person your walking with if you like them. 1 leaf for if the feeling was not shared and 2 if it was mutual. As you can imagine, this caused more drama than it probably should've done. It was probably going to be banned for next year.

The corridors buzzed with excitement. Everyone admired the grandly decorated castle and rumours where going round about who was going with who to the Christmas ball. The Christmas ball was a yearly tradition at Hogwarts School- probably to embarrass the students but most found it enjoyable. The Great Hall would be extravagantly decorated and there was dancing all though the night and we can't forget about the spiked drinks.

"Earth to Willow" Fred nudged her, "We're going to be late if you don't get a move on"

"Oh well, It's only Snape", suddenly he'd picked her up and flung her onto his back pacing towards the classroom. She giggled into his neck and grinned when she'd noticed her breath caused his whole face to blush, all the way down to his neck.

"Do I make you nervous Freddie?" she whimpered into his ear in all attempts to turn him on.

"N-no" he stuttered, "Don't be daft".

"Your words and actions don't add up Freddie" she pointed down at his now evident bulge, "our little secret"

Soon enough they'd made it to class, Willow had gone and sat with Draco in her usual spot and Fred was left staring at them while Hermione went on and on about the Amortentia Snape just announced they would be making. They were giggling at something under the table making Fred nervous at what they were doing, he was jealous at the possibilities. He knew what Willow had gotten up to in Snape's class before so it made him uneasy.

However his sudden jealousy had faded when a paper plane hit Ron on the back of the head and an uproar of laughter escaped Willow's lips but she bit it back when Rom turned his head. It only made Fred laugh which he was then shot down at Hermione who shot him one of her evil glares. "Stop laughing, she's being childish. God she's so pathetic"

"Oh shut it Mione, she's having fun" he defended her and continued laughing. Another plane hit Hermione this time and another one of her radiant laughs filled the room which was then followed by cheers from the Slytherin students, all of which hated the Golden trio.

The lesson passed by pretty quickly afterwards, Willow stopped throwing things after about five more planes. All of which were aimed directly at the wild haired girl next to Fred and one or two at other Gryffindors who were likely to get annoyed. Draco of course took it that one step further and had a book fall off of the side and hit Harry on the head but Snape gave him detention for that, he'd never even acknowledged Willow's actions other than a light smile that a few times played against his lips. He'd become tolerant of the girl due to her problem last year and the inability to control her in situations like these, no detention has ever stopped her pratting around.

Fred walked Willow to her next lesson, she'd complained the whole way there about Trelawney and it took all of his energy to push her through the doors without her turning back around. She'd even offered to walk him to his lesson just so she could skip and he wouldn't force her to go. Even though he was known for his pranks and some would say immaturity, he cared about his education so he would always try force Willow into class, even if she was already failing 'with no return' as Willow said all the way there.

"I will meet you after all our classes and we can hang out as an apology for forcing you into Trelawney's class!" he shouted after her while she took her seat.

"Willow? You didn't want to come to my class?" the divination teacher quietly asked and she seemed rather upset by what she'd heard.

"I thought you could read the future? Did you not know this already" Willow remarked.

Her sadness turned into annoyance, "This is why your failing my dear".

She just smirked at the teacher before sitting herself down with the other Slytherins and kicking her legs up on the desk while high-fiving the girls sat next to her.

A/n- the chapters will be slightly shorter than usual as we would rather update often rather than have longer chapters, hope you understand.
