Consequences Of Mischief: FRED WEASLEY ENEMIES TO LOVERS

A Starry Night

A/N: SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING THIS YESTERDAY! I was really busy, but here it is! Remember to Vote and Comment if you enjoy the story- it really helps motivate me in my writing! 

It had been several days since Morgan and Fred had their... awkward conversation. 

Things had seemingly gone back to normal, the two teens keeping each other on their toes, fighting throughout the days, and even getting a concerned letter from the Lovegoods after a particularly loud altercation one evening. 

The only difference was that Morgan was now extremely cautious around the red-headed boy. Not wanting to screw anything up or lead him into making a snarky comment about the event that had occurred in his room. They were all jokes, she knew this, but she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. 

She couldn't quite decipher why she would feel a sudden heat rush to her cheeks whenever she thought of Fred walking in on her that day, usually brushing it off as her hatred for Fred boiling over the embarrassing situation. 

Though she couldn't help but think that if the other person she hated most in the world, Draco Malfoy, had walked in on her that day- her reaction would have been different. 

She would have yelled, and she wouldn't have even cared about being embarrassed at the moment. She would make herself blameless in the situation and take it all out on the blonde boy. Maybe even tell Mrs. Weasley that Draco had done something terrible- and get him kicked out of the house so she could enjoy the rest of her vacation from the Weasleys. 

She would have confronted Draco in the kitchen angrily, having leverage in the situation and claiming he had no proof to prove she had done anything. With no feeling of embarrassment- she would have ruined Draco Malfoy. 

... But this wasn't Malfoy...

This was Fred.

Fred Weasley, who yes she hated- but didn't think was evil. Her hatred for Fred was different from Malfoy's hatred, mostly composed over the fact the asshole was apart of the most wonderful family she'd ever met- and every time he was around, he ruined the happiness she felt with them. If he were just another simple student at Hogwarts, her hatred would probably have been a slight detest, not paying him any attention. It was the fact she was forced to have him in her life that made her hate him. 

But she did hate him, so why was she acting so different than she would have if it had been anyone else? Why did she feel shame? Why was she so embarrassed by Fred having seen her like that? Why was she ashamed of Fred thinking of her negatively? 

Why the fuck did she want Fred actually to like her? 

It must be because of the Weasleys, Morgan thought. It must be because she didn't want them to think badly of her- and Fred could always tell them what he saw. 

Yeah, she thought, that must be why.

Though Fred being home was a bit of an inconvenience for Morgan, she acknowledged that it truly could have been worse. Whenever he was near her, they either ignored each other in painful silence or fought so loudly that the house felt it might shake. 

Luckily, Fred was often busy with his ongoing quidditch practice. 

Morgan could see how seriously he was taking this task, as he no doubt was getting more and more paranoid about who would be assigned quidditch captain and replace Oliver Wood. 

There were many valid contenders for the position, Fred and Angelina topping the list. Closely followed by George and Katie Bell. It was even whispered around that Harry could be selected as quidditch captain; Merlin knows Mcgonagil has a soft spot for him anyway.
