Forever the Lion and Badger

Jealousy

After that night Fred was distant, How was I supposed to know he would follow us out of the Great Hall. Working with Fred on the project was hard, the only time he said something was about the potion. Every day Matt would wait for me after class, I always told him we were just friends. I didn't want to be in a relationship right now, I'm only 11 after all that would be crazy. Matt would always walk me to my next class or to the Great Hall, He eventually took my hands in his as we walked. It was nice but a part of me wanted to hold Fred's hands. It was Sunday the last day to make our potion perfect.

S- " Okay last we need is the rat's tail." I told Fred, he wasn't paying attention. I looked where his gaze was, it was that Gryffindor girl from the party.

S- " Umm Freddie, we need to finish this assignment."

F- " Hmm, oh yeah sorry. So rat's tail I think I know where to get one."

S- " Okay where?"

F- " From the rat that you let kiss you." Fred looked at me with hurt in his eyes.

S- " Fred that's not funny, we're just friends anyway." Was he really upset, It's not like I planned it.

F- " I'm only kidding Stella. But still be careful he's a third year, I wouldn't trust him." I shook my head

S- " I will Fred but you don't have to worry." Finally the awkward tension in the library lifted up. I was happy to have my best friend back.

F- " I have a plan, the most epic prank to pull on George. Are you in Stella?"

S- " I would love to Fred but it's George so... No."

F- " Aww come on Stella it's going to be AMAZING!" Suddenly we were shushed by everyone because of Fred's excitement.

S- " I said no, now can we focus on this potion?" Fred Pouted at me but nodded his head, we went back to work on the potion trying to get everything right.

Later that day Fred and I brewed the potion to test it, we gave it to George and it worked and his hair stood up as tall as it can. This was great. We were going to earn house points. The three of us walked to the Great Hall for dinner when I felt a hand in mine and pulled me back. I looked and there was Matt, with his Brown short hair and his bright blue eyes that seemed to put me in a trance.

M- " Hello darling, where are you going."

S- " I'm going to go eat with my friend's McGonagall." I was slightly annoyed that he pulled me away from the twins.

M- " Aww come on you know you have more fun with me." He was acting strange. He then cupped his hands on my cheek, Slowly moving in."

S- " Matt please I told you we were just friend's you can't kiss me." As soon as I said the last words his lips were on mine, he really needed to stop this.

McGonagall- " Matt, what do you think you are doing?" It was Professor McGonagall, I was so embarrassed that she caught us kissing.

M- " Aunt Minerva, I didn't see you there, sorry it won't happen again." Soon he took my hand and turned around and started to walk towards the Great Hall.

As we walked in hand and hand I saw Fred, his eyes were glued on us. I quickly pulled away not wanting anymore attention, I then made my way to George and Fred. I sat next to George facing Fred who glared at Matt who was now at the Slytherin table. George then turned around to look at Matt, that was enough to get Fred's attention. Fred quickly took a vial out and put it in Georges food. He then looked at me and put a finger on his lip telling me not to say a word.

G- " Why are we staring at the snake?" George whispered to me

F- " Because the snake caught the heart of our badger Georgie." Fred then gave me a smile but it quickly faded
