Switching Sides | Cedric Diggory vs. Fred Weasley

Chapter 27: Lunch With Lucinda

A/N: Minor spice warning!

"Fuck," Millie panted, looking over at Fred. "Uh oh."

There were those things she'd been trying to avoid since last November: her feelings for Fred. What made you think that was a good idea? she thought to herself. In what world can you hook up with Fred 'no strings attached'? That's just now how it works with him! Damnit, if the sex had been bad that'd be one thing, but that was...

"Wow," Fred exhaled.

He stared at the ceiling, flustered and out of breath, his eyes wide in reaction to what just happened. No strings attached?  he thought. Really Fred? Why would you agree to that? You just ended things with Victoria! She deserved way better than you. You're asking to get your heart broken again! 

"So," Millie started, slowly sitting upwards, her legs still shaking. "I should probably go..."

"Wait," Fred sat up next to her. "Don't yet. We have to talk about what happened before...that,"

Millie sighed. He was right, but if she was in that room with him for any longer, the feelings that were beginning to form would come back in full force.

"Fred, it's fine, really. I just need to-" she started to maneuver herself off the bed, but Fred put a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry," he stated. "I shouldn't have interrupted your dinner or hit Cedric. It's none of my business what you guys are doing or thinking or any of that shit...I just- ugh, the thought of you getting back together with him so soon after what he did, or if I'm being up front, getting back together with him at all, made me sick,"

"We didn't get back together," she groaned and faced him.

"Well, I sure hope so," he chuckled. "After what we just did? I mean, you would  be getting back at him,"

"Shove off," she giggled. 

"But seriously," he scooted behind where she sat on the edge of his bed, wrapping her arms around her from behind. "I know it was shitty cause you asked me not to and I promise to control myself from now on,"

"Thank you," she sighed, leaning her head to the side as he lightly kissed her neck. "And I'm sorry about you and Victoria,"

"Eh, it was a long time coming," he frowned. "She was way too nice to me, I felt like a total git around her. I'm glad she dumped me, though. I hope she's not too upset,"

"She really was perfect," Millie said. 

"Yeah, but..." Fred whispered into her ear, kissing just below it. "She wasn't you," Millie felt herself blush and she turned her head, facing Fred and kissing him sensually. He pulled back and scooted back, laying down with Millie following in suit and snuggling into the crook of his neck. "No strings attached, huh?"

"Come on, Freddie," she sighed. "I can't do another relationship right now, with my dad and-"

"I won't ask for a relationship," he tightened his arm around her. "But can we have sex again?"

She chuckled, shoving him playfully. 

"That can be arranged," she smirked.

He turned over, resting a hand on the back of her neck and leaning towards her, capturing her lips in a delicate kiss.

"Stay here tonight," he whispered, his forehead resting against hers.

"Freddie, I can't," she groaned. "I feel like we shouldn't really tell people this just happened, and Ginny will know somethings up if I don't sleep in her room,"
