Secrets - f.w.

Chapter 9

Aurora and Fred haven't spoken in a week, both of them were too stubborn to actually admit they thought the fight was stupid.

They avoided each other as much as possible. Not many people could tell, except for Ginny. She knew something was off with her older brother and her new friend, who she has grown extremely close to within that last two months. 

She knew that their moodiness had something to do with the other person and she was determined to get them to talk to each other again. Ginny was the only one that knew of Fred's feelings for Aurora, everyone else thought it was just a stupid little crush that he had gotten over. 

Ginny had told him time and time again to tell Aurora of his new found feelings but he's been stubborn and won't do anything about it. 

Ginny could tell this was a big deal for Fred, because he came straight to her and not George, and he tells George everything. He wanted to come to her because he knew that she would give the best advice. If he didn't desperately need help on figuring out what to do, he probably would have kept his feelings all bottled up and not told anyone. 

Ginny was determined to get them to talk to each other and make up this silly fight, but so far her attempts had failed. She invited Aurora to quidditch practice, in hopes of getting her and Fred to talk after practice, but Aurora had scurried away right when the team hopped off their broomsticks. 

After days of thinking of what to do, Ginny had the perfect idea. There was a Halloween party coming up and everyone in all houses, year four and up were invited. The teachers knew about it but never bothered to break up the party and let the students have fun. 

"Oh c'mon Aurora, it's gonna be so fun." Ginny hurried down the hall after Aurora. Dinner had just ended and Aurora fled before Ginny could invite her to come eat dessert with Fred. 

"Even 'Mione's going. It's so fun." 

Aurora shook her head, "I'm tired, besides I'm not the type for socializing." 

Ginny rolled her eyes and grabbed Aurora by the arm, pulling her to the Gryffindor dorms. "You're coming to the party, end of discussion." 

Two hours later, Ginny was pleading with Aurora to put a costume on. 

"C'mon please? I can't go out there as a devil and not have someone be the angel. I'll look lame! Do you want me to look lame Aurora?" She placed her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow at her friend. 

Aurora rolled her eyes at Ginny's silly attempt to get her to wear a costume. "No of course not, but why can't you get someone else to do this? What about your girlfriend, Luna?" 

"Don't you think I already asked Luna? She's wearing that silly lion head." The red head rolled her eyes and Aurora chuckled. 

"Fine I'll wear it, but I'm not putting on any skin tight dresses." She pointed her finger at Ginny. 

Ginny grinned, "Good thing that's not what you're wearing." She walked back over to the small closet she shared with some of the other fourth year girls. After a couple minutes of digging through, she pulled out a white silky dress and shoved it at Aurora, motioning for her to go try it on. Aurora grabbed the dress, and sulked towards the bathroom, mumbling something about how she's only doing this for Ginny.

Aurora stepped out of the bathroom after putting on the dress. Ginny's mouth fell open at the sight in front of her. The dress came to about her mid-thigh and was tight at the top and then flowed out at the waist. There were two bikini straps at the top of the dress, which was a v-line top and showed a bit of cleavage. The silkiness of the fabric added a sexy touch to the dress that Ginny knew would make Fred go absolutely nuts.
