My Weasley (Fred x Reader)

Chapter 38-Promise

I had ended up staying the night at Fred's. Hermione and I had finished the list of people who we would ask to accompany us for a meeting. Of course, there were no Slytherins invited.

"This is mad. Who'd wanna be taught by me?" asked Harry as we made our way to Hogsmeade. "I'm a nutter, remember?"

"You're not a nutter, Harry." I said. "Besides, I think it's a privilege to be taught by you."

"Look on the bright side." said Ron. "You can't be any worse than old toad face."

"Thanks, Ron."

"I'm here for you, mate."

"Who's supposed to be meeting us, then?" asked Harry.

"Just a couple of people." said Hermione.

"The ones we feel we trust." I added. He nodded and we made our way to this old beaten pub.

"Lovely spot." said Ron.

"Thought it would be safer off the beaten track." said Hermione.

"Matey, come back here." said the man as he chased after his goat.

"Let's go." I said and we walked further to the back.

We waited for a few minutes until people started arriving. There was an awkward silence once everyone arrived. Fred and George seemed sort of confused as did everyone else.

"Hi." said Hermione. "So you all know why we're here. We need a teacher."

"A proper teacher." I added.

"One who's had experience defending themselves against the Dark Arts." she continued.

"Why?" asked one of the boys rudely.

"Why?" repeated Ron. "Because You-Know-Who's back, you tosspot."

"So he says."

"So Dumbledore says." I said defensively.

"So Dumbledore says because he says." he spat back. "The point is, where's the proof?"

"What proof do you want?" I asked. "Do you want him to stand in front of you about to murder you so you can have your little proof?"

He kept his mouth open about to say something but then closed it and looked away. Fred and George looked at each other and smiled proudly.

"If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed..." said one of the boys. I looked over at Cho and she seemed to turn sad. I then looked at Harry and shook my head.

"I'm not gonna talk about Cedric, so if that's why you're here, clear out now." he said. "Come on, Hermione. They're here because they think i'm some sort of freak."

"Is it true you can produce a Patronus Charm?" asked Luna sweetly.

"Yes." answered Hermione. "I've seen it."

"Blimey, Harry. I didn't know you could do that." said Dean.

"And he killed a Basilisk, with the sword in Dumbledore's office." added Neville.

"It's true." said Ginny.

"Third year, he fought off about a hundred Dementors at once." added Ron.

"Last year, he really did fight off You-Know-Who in the flesh." said Hermione.

"Wait." interrupted Harry. "Look, it all sounds great when you say it like that...but the truth is, most of that was just luck. I didn't know what I was doing half the time. I nearly always had help."
