Elusive // The Weasley Twins

13. Memory Box

just for reference thats all^^

Cosette had done a pretty good job at keeping herself distracted for the majority of the day. Granted. She did stay in bed until the afternoon but afterwards she cleaned her room, without the help of magic. Then she rearranged her bookshelf because it had been bothering her that nothing was in alphabetical order.

She tried to read, but was having difficulty actually processing the words on the paper so she moved on from that and started working on new training techniques that she could begin teaching when she returned back to work.

Cosette even pulled out an old mannequin from the hall closet to practice some defensive charms on. Doing so brought her back to when she was part of 'Dumbledore's Army' back at Hogwarts and everyone gathered in the Room of Requirement to practice.

"O'Connor, your stance is completely wrong," Fred appeared at her side, he tapped the back of her thigh with his wand before using it to tilt her chin in his direction.

"My stance?" She retorted, already seeing the smirk grow on his face. She was a little surprised to see him, but wasn't complaining in the slightest. Cosette knew that Fred was supposed to be in detention right now. "What are you even doing here? Umbridge is going to kill you."

"Oh I would never miss a DA lesson," he shrugged his shoulders, slowly walking in circles around Cosette. "It's the only class I enjoy. Plus I knew you'd be here early, you always are."

She followed him with her eyes, not yet moving her feet. Eventually his gaze travelled around the room until it landed on a dark blue mat in the corner of the room. He grabbed Cosette's hand and led her towards it, positioning her to stand in the center of it.

"About your stance," he started off, earning a laugh from her. "Like I said, it's all wrong."

"How so?"

"Well first of all, we shouldn't be standing."

Cosette didn't even have time to question him before Fred laid down on the mat next to where she stood. She looked down at him, wondering what the hell he was doing as he patted the spot next to him.

With a groan, Cosette lowered herself to the floor as well, pulling her skirt down slightly so it didn't rise up her hips as she laid down.

Fred turned his head to look at her and Cosette did the same with a smile tugging at her lips. He then looked around the room with a deadly serious expression.

"No, this isn't right either."

"Oh, you mean we shouldn't be using defensive spells while laying on the floor?" She teased, unable to stop herself from laughing at him.

Fred hummed to himself, quite obnoxiously if you had asked Cosette, before nodding his head in her direction.

"Come here."

"What do you mean, 'come here'?" She nodded her head back in return, causing Fred to roll his eyes. He reached for her hand and started to pull her towards him.

Cosette eventually got the hint, "Oh, okay." And she straddled her legs on either side of his hips. Her skirt was definitely bunched up around her waist but Fred didn't mind. His fingers trailed up her thighs slowly.

"See?" He asked, raising his eyebrows. "This is much better."

"Fred Weasley-" she made the attempt to get up but he moved his hand further up her leg and spread his fingers across her skin firmly.
