Forever

Chapter 4- Tea and "Studying"

"Switch cups with your partners." Trelawny told us.
I gave Lee my cup and he gave me his.
"Now, the partner on the right, read your partner's dregs." She raised her hands.
I looked into the cup, and then at the book, "Um," I laughed, "I don't know how to read this. Um, I think that there's a sun, which means 'Great happiness', but at the same time, there's also a skull, which means 'Danger in your path'."
I looked at him and shrugged.
"Now, the person on the left." Trelawny said.
Lee looked into my cup, "There's a cross, which means, 'Trials and suffering', there's also a club which means, 'An attack'."
He lightly gasped.
"What? What is it?" I asked.
"Um, y/n..." he started.
I took the cup from his hands and looked inside. There's a club and a cross, but there was something else as well.
The Grim.
I tried to laugh it off, "I'm sure it's nothing." I said as I gently put the glass cup on the table, "It's nothing."
"Yeah," Lee nodded, "I'm sure a bunch of tea leaves can't predict the future."
I nodded, "Yeah."
Trelawny took a breath to speak, but heard the kids outside, "Dismissed."
Lee and I packed up and left the classroom. He started walking the opposite direction from me, but he stopped and looked at me.
"Where are you going?" He looked around.
"Oh, I have to do something quick." I waved, "I'll see you later."
"Bye." He said as I walked off.
I walked up to the Astronomy Tower, looking around every five steps.
I stepped into the tower, Fred was sitting on the steps.
"Fred?" I said.
He shot up, "Y/n, so I see that you came."
"Uh, yeah, how could I not when you left me with," I paused, shaking my hands, "with that."
He nodded, "Sure."
I crossed my arms, "Why did you really summon me here?"
"Well," he tapped his fingers together, "you see, you said that Justin will tell everybody that we're dating. Which is mostly likely true."
"I also said that it's a bad thing because we're not actually dating." I added.
He nodded, "And then I said that we could change that."
"Now, here's my question," I said, "change what?"
"We're not dating," he smirked, "but we could be."
I choked on my words and started blushing, "What?"
"Alright, I'll admit," he laughed, "that was not as subtle as I wished it would've been."
I tilted my head, "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that I like you." he laughed, "A lot."
"Oh?" I said, "Are you and George pranking me?"
"No, why?" He grinned.
I rolled my eyes, "Because I may or may not like you, too."
He put his fist in the air, "Yes!"
"Excited are we?" I asked.
He licked his lips, "More than you know."
I stepped towards him, "Oh, I think I know."
He grabbed my face and ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Is that so?"
I arched an eyebrow, "Very much so."
He moved his right hand behind my head, and his left hand on my back.
He pressed his lips against mine and I put my fingers through his hair. I put my left arm around the nape of his neck.
He pulled away, but only slightly as our lips were still touching. I reached his right hand down and grabbed the bottom of my thigh, lifted me up.
I wrapped my legs around his waist as he wrapped his arms around mine.
He reached his right hand out behind me and smiled as he stepped forward, making me press my back against the wall.
I could feel the excitement course through my veins as he began kissing me again.
I felt the air go warm between us as we continued on, still against the wall.
I heard a sudden noise and moved my face to his shoulder, "Someone's coming." I whispered.
He quickly backed up and put me down. I grabbed his hand and pulled him down to the steps where my books were.
I opened to a random page, "You see, so, if there's a falcon, that means that there's a deadly enemy in the future. An acorn means windfall and unexpected gold."
      "Oh, I see." Fred said, nodding along, "Is this the only thing in Divination that you know how to do?"
      I nodded, "Yes, pretty much." I started laughing.
      "See, Lee, I told you that they were in here. You gotta-"
      "I know, I know, you gotta trust the map." Lee said.
      George looked at both of us suspiciously, "What are you guys doing up here?"
      "Tutoring." I said.
      "Studying." Fred said over my words.
      I shot him a look.
      "Studying." I told them.
      "Tutoring."
      I slapped my forehead with my palm, "Smooth, Weasley, smooth."
      "You're the one to talk." He said.
      "Y/n," George looked at me, "your tie is a little wonky."
      I tightened my tie, "Oh, I didn't notice it." I fake laughed.
      "Dinner is going to be starting soon." Lee said.
      "Good." Fred said, standing up, "I've worked up an appetite."
      "Doing what?" Lee asked, looking at George and then back at Fred.
      "What?" Fred said.
      George smiled, "I thought that you were just studying."
      I stood up and patted Fred on the shoulder, "I'm gonna kill you."
      George grinned, "Oh, I see."
      Lee looked at him, "What do you see George?"
      I grew red in the face, "Is it hot in here?" I asked.
      Fred nudged me with his elbow, "I'll say."
      "Oh my God!" I yelled, "I'm going to dinner."
