Fred beat Alexander as hard as he could before Evelyn pulled him off. He tried to get out of her clutches but as soon as he realized it was her holding him back he relaxed. Alexander had a deep red spot on his face from Fred and probably was bruised in the stomach. Evelyn had a few tears dropping but wasn't full on crying.

"You should have known better than to call Weasley, Evelyn." Alexander spat again, sitting himself up but not wincing from any pain.

"I didn't-" Evelyn began with a small crack in her tone.

"She didn't call me Burke." Fred interrupted, standing up straight as Evelyn stood beside him, confused as ever. "I just passed by."

"Oh of course." Alexander nodded and clapped his hands together. "You happened to pass by the same area you knew she'd be when she was walking back from detention with Snape."

"Shut up." Fred scoffed, trying to step forward but Evelyn pulled him back again, not wanting a teacher to find them fighting and them all getting in trouble.

"Go away." Evelyn shouted at Alexander who sneered slightly and walked off past them, shoving his shoulder into Fred's. "Why would you do that Fred!?" Evelyn now shouted at Fred who was confused on why she was upset with him. He saved her, did he not?

"What do you mean?" Fred replied, clearly annoyed. "He was hurting you!"

"Well yeah but-"

"So I took care of it as you clearly couldn't." Fred crossed his arms as Evelyn glared up at him, sexual tension filling the air as Fred wanted to bend down and kiss the anger off her face. He hated the idea of her being mad at him.

"I could." Evelyn tried to argue but her lie was obvious.

"I saw you try to knee him but he pushed it down." Fred reminded her. "And he had your wrists held down. It's fine to say you couldn't do anything."

"I could!" Evelyn bit back quickly. "I-I just couldn't think of anything." Her stubbornness wouldn't let her admit she was trapped.

"Right." Fred rolled his eyes which made Evelyn more furious. "Why are you mad at me then-" Fred couldn't finish his sentence before Evelyn tried to walk off. He grabbed her wrist to stop her and pulled her back in front of him as Evelyn tried to pull his hand away. "Answer my question, Evelyn."

"Let go Fred." Evelyn said in a warning tone but he kept his hold. "I said let go Weasley!" He furrowed his eyebrows as she used his last name.

"Answer. My. Question." Fred leant down slightly and said it in parts to show he wanted an answer which Evelyn couldn't provide.

"I don't know!" Evelyn shouted quickly, still trying to pry his hand off of her wrist. "I don't know why I'm mad! I just am!" She looked up at Fred with furious glossy eyes like she was about to burst into tears but held it back. "Don't make me hit you!"

"No wonder you're a Malfoy." Fred spat without thinking. "The name suits you." He tossed her wrist away and she scurried away and cried in her dorm. Alone. Fred didn't spare a tear but was angry for the next few days as she avoided him and Alexander.
