My Lover (Fred Weasley x Fem! Reader)

Chapter 8: Preparing for the First Task

It was coming up closer to the first task. I have been helping Harry, Cedric and Fleur all prepare. Some of the Slytherins have decided to make these 'Potter Stinks' badges. I always yelled at whoever was wearing them. 

There was a lot of rumors going around the school of how Harry got into the tri-wizard tournament. A lot of people think that I had put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire, however I wasn't even of age so that was impossible. 

I have recently been getting these weird feelings from Professor Moody. I saw him the other day in the potions cupboard, scrambling for something as if that he was going to die without it. It was so odd and weird if I must say. 

The Hufflepuffs have recently turned cold to the Gryffindors.  We all used to be on very good terms with each other but ever since Harry's name got drawn from the Goblet, and Gryffindor was getting attention it made them mad. The Hufflepuffs basically were mad about the fact that when they felt like they got the attention it was stolen by Harry.

Hermione, Ginny and I have all been trying to make Harry and Ron friends again, however it was no use. I feel bad for Hermione, she's in a friend group right now that is so divided.  Hermione and I have also been preparing Harry for the first task together.  I was going to help Cedric today in the library. Yesterday, I had helped Fleur prepare. 

It was early morning, the first task was in a week.  I went down to the common room where Fred, George and Lee were all sitting down with a pen and paper. I decided to go over to them and ask what in the name of Godric were they planning or doing. 

"What are you three doing?" I questioned. "Planning a prank on Snape." George replied. "Why don't you go for Moody? You three know I do not like Moody." I stated. "So who do you like better Y/n/n, Moody or Snape?" Fred asked. "Snape." I stated. I couldn't handle that teacher. "Exactly, also where are you going?" Lee asked.  "Oh, I am going to the library, I promised Ced that I would help him prepare for the first task today." I responded. 

I saw Fred roll his eyes and I swore that I heard a scoff come out from him. "Haven't you helped him enough?" Fred asked. "Why are you so jealous whenever I say that I am going to hang out with Cedric?" I asked.  George and Lee started to go 'oooo' as Fred just looked at me. 

"I am not jealous." Fred said, his tone of voice could say otherwise. "Really? Because the tone of your voice says that you are." I stated. "I promise Y/n/n." Fred said, his voice more toned down but there was still a hint of jealousy in his voice. 

"You know Cedric is just a friend right, and I don't understand why you get so mad whenever I say that I am going to hang out with him. I can have other friends you know." I said, Fred nodded his head and looked down.  "Well, see you in an hour." I said before leaving the common room to go to the library. Hopefully I didn't leave Cedric waiting for too long. 

Fred's Pov: 

"What was that mate?" George asked. "I just don't like the way that Cedric looks at her, and how he flirts with her all the time. I have been flirting with her since first year, and now Pretty Boy just flirts with her for one second and they are all of a sudden best friends." I replied. 

It makes me so angry the way that Cedric looks at Y/N.  I have been in love with her for such a long time, and Pretty Boy Diggory is blowing all my chances with her.  He has now idea how much I literally want to yell at him. 

"When will you get it through your head that Y/N is so in love with you?" Lee questioned. "How do you even know that?" I asked. There is no way that Y/N feels the same way about me, like she is so beautiful and perfect, and why would she like me? 

A lot of people think that I am so confident in myself,  but the thought that Y/N likes Cedric instead of me always makes me so sad.  The only people that know my feelings for her are George, Lee, Charlie, Bill, Ginny, Hermione, Ron and Harry.  They all say that she likes me back, but how do they know that? 

"Does Y/N cuddle with anyone like how she does with you? Does she look at anyone else the way that she looks at you?  Does she kiss anyone's cheek, like how she kisses your cheek?" George questioned. I mean he does have a point. 

"Listen mate, you have to tell her soon." Lee stated. I know that he is right, I do have to tell her soon, but how? 

Y/N Pov: 

"Hey Ced, hopefully you didn't have to wait for too long." I said as I sat down beside him. "Oh, it's no problem at all. Harry actually told me something today. Dragons, they are the first task." Cedric said. "Bloody hell, do you know what types of dragons they will be?" I asked. "No, however, I got some books so we can look at what dragons there might be." Cedric said as he placed some books down right in front of me. 

I picked up some of the books that Cedric had placed right in front of me and started flipping through all of the pages.  I was looking for any types of dragons that could potentially be any of the dragons in this first task. 

I am not going to lie, I am pretty nervous for Cedric for this tournament.  However I am sure that he will do well in this tournament. He is Cedric Diggory after all.
