Close to my heart

Chapter 12

Harry's fourth year, victorias sixth year
Victoria P.O.V.
"VICTORIA!" yelled my mum
"What do you want?" I said
"You are not going back to that witchcraft school again!" she snapped
I grabbed my case and started opening the door.
"Oh sorry, I can't hear you could you repeat that?" I said
I slightly opened the door and started walking out while she was talking, I closed the door and started walking off, with silver next to me. Currently am headed to the burrow Mrs. Weasley invited me to spend one week before school started. So right now am headed there.
It's been about four hours, I took a bunch of cabs to get to the Weasleys. I got out of the cab and started walking to the burrow, I started seeing the house and smiled.
I made it to the front door and knocked.
"FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY BEHAVE YOURSELVES FOR OUR GUEST!" I heard Mrs. Weasley yell
I giggled and the door opened.
"Victoria dear!" she said
"Mrs. Wesley, how are you?" I said as she hugged me and I hugged her back
"Oh dear call me Molly!" she said letting go
"Oh right sorry molly." I said
She smiled and showed me inside. I saw Harry and Hermoine there, I went towards them and hugged them.
"Wow you grew a lot Victoria!" said Hermoine
"Yeah can't say the same for you too!" I giggled
"There she is!" I heard a voice say
I turned and saw the twins walking over to me. I went over and hugged both of them.
"I would like and individual hug." said Fred as he pushed George out of my grasp
I smiled and hugged Fred tightly and he hugged back.
"Wow both of you grew a lot." I said
"Yeah so did you but your still short." said George
"Also loving the mullets." I said
"Why didn't you come to the Quidditch world cup?" asked Harry
"Yeah how come." Ron said
"My mum." I said
"Well good thing you didn't come because it became a cause afterward. Like the place got attacked by death eaters." said Ron
"Woah that's crazy are you guys okay? Did anyone get hurt?" I said concerned
"We are all good we just had a bad scare that's all." said Hermoine
"Veronica did you bring your broom? We are going to play Quidditch outside with apples." said George
"Of course I brought my broom why wouldn't I?" I said
"Well where is it?" asked Fred
"In my trunk!" I said
"What?" said Fred and George
"Yeah in my trunk!" I said
I opened my trunk and put my hand inside and searched for it, I pulled it out and showed them. They looked confused.
"How did you do that?" asked Hermoine.
"I put the Undetectable Extension Charm on my bag." I said
"Hm that is very handy." said Hermoine
"I know it is I read it in a book." I replied
"Well come on guys let's go play Quidditch!" said George
"Let's go!" I said
We all exited the burrow and walked a little far from the house so we wouldn't break anything, I hopped on my broom and started zooming around. We grabbed apples and started playing Quidditch with them.
We played until the sunset and we were then called inside to eat dinner. We washed up and sat down and started eating.
After eating Mrs. Weasly showed me where I would sleep, I was sleeping with Hermoine and Ginny. I set my trunk off to the side and silver curled up in a ball on top of it. I smiled and started going back downstairs. I heard little footsteps and saw it was silver following me, I smiled and kept walking down. I made it to the living room and sat down on one of the couches, silver then sat on my lap and started doing the little paw thing on my chest. It kind of hurt because she was kind of digging her claws into my chest. I leaned my head back and felt someone sit next to me, I lifted my head to see who it was and saw it was Fred I smiled at him, I lifted my head and looked over at him. All of a sudden we heard a bang, it sounded like it can from the kitchen. Ron then walked in with a letter.
"It's for you, it doesn't say who it is from though." said Ron
He handed it to me, I opened it.
"My sweet lovely Victoria, hope your summer was good. Every day I missed seeing your beautiful face, I smiled everytime I remember seeing your lovely face, I miss your laugh, you smile, your eyes, I miss everything about you. But I'll see you soon. Love your secret admirer." I read
"Who the bloody hell is this person?" said Fred a bit frustrated
"Why do you care so much Freddie do you have a crush on our sweet Victoria?" said George smugly
"WHAT NO NO NO I DONT!" he exclaimed loudly
I felt my heart sink, I shrugged it off and kept going on with my night.
It's like 3 am or so I have no clue but am thirsty. So I got up and quietly got out of ginny's room, and started making my way down to the kitchen. I made it to the kitchen and opened a cabinet, I tried reaching for a cup.
"What the bloody hell, it's like they rearranged them..."I whispered to myself.
"Need some help?" I heard a voice say
I quickly turned and as I did I let out a little yelp, the figure moved forward and I instinctively climbed on the counter and sat and scooted away, I was whimpering and then they put a hand on my mouth.
"Lumos." said the voice
It was one of the twins, I took a closer look and saw it was Fred.
"Fred!" I said
"Shhh will you shut your mouth Victoria for crying out loud." he whispered shout
We heard steps, and then I froze. Then the steps became faint. I let out a sigh and then I realized in what position we were, he was in between my legs and I was the edge of the counter so he was really close like really really close. I gulped and I felt myself blush and my eyes widened. He then turned his head and saw, he turned red as well, our eyes met and I felt my heart racing and myself turning even redder.
The light suddenly flicked on, we turned our heads and saw it was George, his eyes widened, then he smirked.
"Whoops did not mean to interrupt." he said smugly
"GEORGE!" we both yelled
"Yes that's my name." he said
"Its not what I looks like, I came downstairs because I was thirsty and and and I- I came to grab a cup but they were really high up and I couldn't reach and then all of the sudden I see a black figure and then it started moving closer to me so I claimed on the counter and tried scooting away but it came close and then it was Fred and the You walked in!" I said
He smirked
"Yeah right." he said smugly
I looked around the counter and saw an apple and threw it at him, it hit his head. He yelped and rubbed where it hit, he shot me a look I smiled and looked back at Fred and was looking at my chest, I cleared my throat and he looked up and his eyes widened and he backed off, I hopped off and started walking to Ginny's room.
It's morning and I gathered my things so I could take a shower, I got my towels and started heading to the shower. I closed the door behind me and I started taking off my shirt and unhooked my bra when suddenly the door opened. I looked back covering chest and saw it was Fred, I could tell because of his pajama pants. He looked half asleep. He had his eyes closed, he opened them and his eyes widened.
"I AM SO SORRY!" he yelled and slammed the door shut
I gulped and kept undressing, I got in the shower and started showering.
I got out of the bathroom while drying my hair with a towel, I went into ginny's room and put my usual red bow on. I went downstairs to the living room and saw fred sitting on the couch one hand over his face and him looking up.
Fred P.O.V.
I started walking up to the bathroom so I could take a shower. I opened the door, and am still half asleep my eyes are closed, I know my way around the house by now so I do this a lot so I could have some extra sleep. I opened the door and slightly opened my eyes and saw Victoria. My eyes widened when I realized she was half-naked, I could see part of her chest. I froze in my spot.
"I AM SO SORRY!" I yelled
I slammed the door shut and quickly went down to the living room and sat down on one of the couches. I put my hand over my face. I saw part of her bare chest, it was, it looked soft and big and perfect. I turned even redder just thinking this.
Victoria P.O.V.
I went downstairs and saw Fred in the living room really red, I gulped and went and sat next to him.
"I am so sorry I should have knocked I did not know you were there am so sorry." he said quickly
"Hey hey it's okay don't worry it's not like you saw anything." I said
His eyes shot to the left, and whenever he does that I know he is either hiding something or lying. Yep he must have seen something.
"Anyways, let me braid your hair turn around." I said
He turned around and I started braiding his hair.
It's the day of returning to Hogwarts, I was grabbing my things when suddenly Fred burst through the door, with something in his hand.
"It's for you, probably from the secret admirer of yours." he said
I got up and took the letter from him. I opened it and felt something on my shoulder I looked over and saw it was Fred putting his head on my shoulder.
"My sweet Victoria, today I finally get to see your gorgeous face. I missed you these past months. See you soon. Love your secret admirer." I read
"So... The person sending you this knows you and sees you..." Fred said
"Yeah weird..." I said
We got tKing's cross and went to platform 9 3/4 we got on the train and into a cabin, I sat down and silver curled up next to me.
"Oi cat that's my seat." said Fred
I chuckled and I patted my lap so Silver could come and sit on mine. He crawled over and sat on my lap, and Fred sat down next to me and put an arm around me. I let out a sigh and looked out the window.
We were at the great hall and they were announcing something about the Triwizard tournament I wasn't really interested in it since I can't participate even if I wanted to. I fidgeted with my fingers and looked down.
It's been barely two weeks and am already getting chased down the halls by Slytherins casting spells at me. I ran down a hallway and tripped and fell face-first sat up and looked up as I brought out my wand, while the Slytherins got closer to me.
"OI WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR SIZE." I heard a person yell out
The Slytherins turned and I also peered through them and saw it was one of the twins. He started running towards me, he got to me and got on one knee and got extremely close to my face, I could feel his hot breath. I took a look at his freckles and identified it is Fred, I turned bright red. I gulped.
"Don't worry princess I'll get you out of here." he whispered
He picked me up and he tossed me over his shoulder, and he started running. I looked up and saw the Slytherins just as confused as I was, Fred kept running until he started slowing down. We came to a corner, and he put me down and I leaned on the wall behind me, I leaned my head back. I heard a slam, I quickly looked up and saw Fred's arms on either side of my head. My eyes widened, Fred's head was down and he was panting. He slowly picked up his head and our eyes met. He turned a deep shade of red, and so did I.
"Eheh um hello." he said
"H-hi.." I stuttered
We stayed there for a bit, and then he sat down next to me. I slid down and sat next to him.
"Thanks for saving me back there." I said
"Eh it was nothing," he said
We heard yelling and I quickly got up, it sounded like Zeyden. I started running to where the screaming was coming from. I saw Zeyden getting cast spells at I don't know what spells specifically but it looked like it hurt. I quickly whipped out my wand.
"Expeliarmus!" I said
Their wands flew out of their hands, I quickly ran up to Zeyden and grabbed him, suddenly we were lifted. I saw Fred lifted up both of us and he started running away. I flipped the Slytherins off and they flipped me back.
Fred carried us to a hallway far off, he put us down.
"You know I could have saved him on my own right?" I said
"Yeah but you needed a strong man like me!" he said
I shook my head and turned to Zeyden. I smiled at him and he smiled back.
