crashing down // Fred Weasley

Brooms and carvings

The week passed by immensely slow for Sophie, her and Harry were speaking again but he was being quite distant with everyone the past couple of days. He served detention with Umbridge on his first day back, Sophie just thought that the teacher may have been the reason to his sudden mood drop. Little did she know she was going to find out exactly what the teacher had done to her brother in a few hours.

"I still can't believe you managed to get detention with Umbridge." Ginny huffed as the pair made their way back to the common room. "First Harry now you, she's really gotten it out for the Potters hasn't she."

"Believe me Gin I'm not looking forward to this probably as much as she is." Sophie giggled as they walked through the portrait hole, "and it's because we know the truth and she's too afraid to admit that she's wrong." The girl shrugged.

"Soph, you got a letter." Harry appeared from the spiral staircase with two cream envelopes, Ron close behind him.

"Ohh who off." The girl smiled before plummeting onto the couch in front of the warm Gryffindor fire place. "Oh sorry." She giggled as she realised she had sat incredibly close to Fred who she didn't even know was in here.

He smiled before grabbing the girls waist and sitting her on his knee, "it's fine i was saving this seat for you." Fred smiled smugly.

"Okay gimmie." Sophie laughed as she held her hands out towards Harry like a child on Christmas day.

"Here, and I presume Remus mine was off Sirius." He shrugged sitting in the arm chair just to the side of the couch with was now occupied by Ron Ginny, Sophie and Fred.

"Ah Remmy." The girl smiled kicking her shoes off and opening the letters envelope.

Dear Sophie,

Hey hope all is alright. How's studying for your O.W.Ls going.
I just thought I'd write you to see what your up too, Fred behaving alright? Padfoot wrote to Harry too, hope you two are doing well and if you need anything at all I'm only an owl away.

Study hard Sophie!

All the love, Remus.

Ignore him! Have fun don't focus on stupid exams that aren't till the end of the year!
Padfoot.

"What did he say?" Fred asked after the girl chuckled lightly to herself, she handed him the letter and watched as his eyes skimmed the page. "I am offended that he thinks i do not behave." He pouted with a slight smirk.

"I don't blame him." Ron mumbled to himself, everyone heard though.

"Hey Soph give me your foot." Fred smiled looking down at her feet and then back up at her continuously.

"Why?" She asked furrowing her brows. "You got a foot fetish or something" the girl smirked raising her eyebrows up and down before twiddling her toes.

"No." He shook his head in disgust. "Just. Give. Me. Your. Foot." He said between breaks in attempt of grabbing one of them whilst she just shook her legs around in order for him to miss every time he reached out. "Aha!" Fred yelled once finally obtaining one he lifted her foot onto his lap causing the girl to fall back onto Ginny's lap which just made the pair giggle.

"What!-no-Fred!" She squealed as he started tickling her feet. Sophie threw herself around trying to free herself from Fred's hold, she was incredibly ticklish especially on her feet. "Please. Stop. It." She yelled in between laughs.

After what felt like hours for Sophie of torture he finally let go of her foot, keeping his usual smirk planted on his face as he watched his girlfriend stand from the couch and sit on the arm of the chair beside her brother with a pout. "Never ask for my feet again." She huffed in attempt to appear mad at the seventeen year old.
