Confident | Fred Weasley

Chapter 40 | Milano

Sarah had been having a fairly ordinary day, that was until she heard of Fred and George's recent endeavours. The twins had come rushing up to her and the other girls, with matching looks of frustration upon their faces.

"What's wrong with you two?" Sarah asked them, slamming Advanced Potion Making 7 shut to give the twins her full attention.

"Some Slytherin got us detention!" Fred muttered, slumping into an armchair pathetically.

"Um - you're always in detention, aren't you? What's different?" Patricia asked casually, glancing up from her lengthy essay.

George looked affronted by this, "We're not always in detention. We know where the line is, you see. Oh, but this girl, she doesn't."

Lee had appeared from nowhere, "A girl got you detention, then?"

Angelina sighed, "Oh, don't we love a light dusting of misogyny on a Wednesday evening."

"Lee! You were there! Then you ran away with a headless hat, which I want back by the way," Fred pointed at him accusingly.

"A headless what? - " Alicia began, her head shot up.

" - Never mind that. Explain what happened," Sarah demanded, curiosity getting the best of her.

George took a deep breath, before speaking, "So, Fred, Lee and I were skiving Transfiguration - "

" - Surprising - " Angelina muttered under her breath. Sarah struggled to not smile.

"And then out of the blue, this 5ft blonde came hurtling out nowhere, I think she was skiving too and was running away from Filch. She stopped when she saw us. Then Filch caught all of us, except Lee because he'd ran off with the headless hat!" George continued, as if Angelina hadn't said anything.

"Wait - 5ft, blonde and Slytherin? Are you guys on about Daphne Greengrass?" Sarah inquired, as she was sure that Fred and George knew who she was.

"No, no. It wasn't her. It was someone else. She's in our transfiguration, I'm pretty sure. I just can't remember her name," Fred replied with a shake of his head, as he stared at the corner of the room in thought.

"Capri Milano something?" George suggested.

"Well, what are you going to do about it?" Sarah asked Fred and George, as she opened her Advanced potion making 7 again.

"I'm not sure. Probably a prank or something," Fred replied, and George hummed in agreement.

"Well, we're waiting," Patricia finished the conversation absent-mindedly.

Sarah hadn't expected to meet this Capri Di Milano, that was until she was pulled to the side of the corridor by a desperate Sixth year on a Saturday morning. He was out of breath, like he'd ran to find her. She didn't know him, but he seemed to know her.

"Copper - " He panted, keeping a rather tight grip upon her wrist.

Sarah was still in shock from getting pulled so vigorously, but she kept her composure, "What is this about? What are you doing?"

The guy gulped, before forcing some parchment slips into her grip, "Give them!"

Sarah shuffled through the slips, which had the names of Fred, George and Capri Di Milano scribbled upon them. As she did this, the guy let go of her wrist, turning on his heels and heading in the other direction.

"Detention slips? - Hey! I don't want to do this - " Sarah called after him, her eyebrows furrowed.

Sarah let a sigh, before heading in the opposite direction of the boy. She had no clue where Capri Di Milano would be, as she didn't even know her. Sarah cursed herself as she approached a small group of Slytherins in her year, who were corrugated outside the Library.
