Self Worth - Fred Weasley Fan Fic

12 am

It was now a few minutes before 12 am and Elia looked around her room which was dimly lit up from the moonlight coming through their window. She quietly got out of her bed to brush her hair and grab a sweater then crept out of her dorm. Once Elia sneaked out of the hallway of dorms and reached the common room, she walked normally while staring at their ceiling which looked like a real night sky. When she opened the door and stepped out, she looked around expecting him to just be standing there. She then looked down at the stairs but saw no sign of Him.

Elia's heart sunk.

He forgot. A pit in her stomach started to grow as she thought about how excited she was all day for this very moment, just for it to disappoint her. She felt utterly pathetic. Elia took one last look down the stairs and shook her head at how stupid she felt.

Right when she turned around, "boo!" whispers Fred as he yanked an invisible blanket off his head in front of Elia causing her to let out a frightening gasp. She quickly held a hand over her mouth to keep her from making a louder noise and Fred scrunched his nose. He giggled enjoyably as the pounding in Elia's heart grew rapidly and the pit in her stomach disappear in relief.

"HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!" Elia whispered annoyingly, but was mostly overjoyed to see him actually there. He held up a messily rolled up cloak making her jaw drop, "you have the invisibility cloak??!!" she asked grabbing the cloth from his hands and opening it up to see. "No, it's Harry's but he lets me use it when I want to sneak out" He explained while Elia admired the intricate designs on the legendary piece of cloth.

"Okay let's go, I have to show you something!" Fred grinned while grabbing the cloak from her hands and motioning his head to follow him.

Elia followed Fred around the dark castle and every time they were near a professor, they would hide under the cloak that was just barely able to cover the both of them. Once they passed professor Filch, Fred used his wand to disappear Filch's little chair that he was sitting on making the two snicker.

She followed Fred for a very long time under the cloak until he finally took it off showing the huge quidditch field and she chuckled in slight confusion. "You know what, this place looks very familiar for some reason" She teased while looking around. "Oh is that so? I was thinking exactly the same thing" the boy played along, "Now look at what I really wanted to show you" he said as Elia's attention shifted towards him when he stepped aside to reveal two, rusty, and very old nimbus 98s. Her eyes widened and a huge smile beamed on her face as she looked back up at Fred, "brooms? what for?".

¨Well this one's yours, It was Bill's old broom when he still played" He said picking up one of them. She examined her new broom in awe. She's never had one for herself but always secretly wanted one.

"I don't even know how to fly"

"that's why im gonna teach you" he replied with a grin as Elia's face lit up in excitement.

He stood next to her and placed the broom on the floor beside her feet. "Alright just stick your hand out over the broom and say, 'Up!'" He instructed while holding his hand out over his. She nodded and attempted to do the following 

"Nope, you're doing it wrong! here let me show you" He asserted as he got behind her. Fred positioned his arm over hers and brought his face closely slightly over her shoulders. Her eyebrows furrowed in concentration when suddenly she felt his hand slowly graze down her forearm. Her face got warm and once she realized what the brash bloke was doing, she shoved a playful elbow at his side. "BLIMEY FRED! I KNOW HOW TO CALL A BROOM YOU GIT!!" Elia shouted out resulting in a guffaw between the both of them, "Alright alright, you do it then! go on!" He said backing up allowing her to demonstrate. She pridefully straightened out her back then held her hand out again and demanded, "UP!"
