Fool Me Once (Book One) - Fred Weasley

10. Eyes

The train ride to school wasn't too bad. Aaliyah had decided against sitting with Fred and George again this year because she still hadnt seen her brother or Draco since the end of term.

She met Draco's just outside his compartment and he enveloped her in a hug, but just a short one, in case any of his friends seen.

"How was your summer? DID the blood traitors treat you okay? Did anyone hurt you? I swear if anyone-" he began questioning her and Aaliyah cut him off with a slight giggle.

"Dray, calm down. Now I'll answer your questions okay. Summer was okay I guess yeah. They treated me fine. And I would appreciate you not calling them blood traitors. At least not to me okay? And no no one hurt me. Me and Fred got into a few fights but were okay I think. But-" she started but Aaliyah stopped talking when Draco looked at her sternly.

"Fights? Liyah if he laid a hand-" he said getting visibly angry but Aaliyah stopped hi rant quickly.

"No Dray. I promise he didnt. Okay were okay. I'm okay. Nobody laid a hand on me" she told him and he visibly calmed down when he knew that she was tellingbthe truth. Aaliyah was never one to lie. She never done it well anyway.

"Okay. Thats good. You coming to sit with us?" He asked taking her hand in his.

"Yeah, I might as well. Theodore's in there isn't he?" She asked and Draco nodded quickly. "Yeah he is" he told her and she smiled brightly. "Good. I feel like I havent seen him in forever" she exclaimed as Draco led her into his compartment.

The train ride went by fairly fast. Theo didn't really speak to Aaliyah too much which upset her. But she knew it was something he had to do in order to stay friendly with their father. She ust wished things were different with them. They had been so very close as children and she missed it.

The same as last year Aaliyah made her way to the carriages only to be met by Riviera and David. Riviera pulled her into a hug first and told her that. "They needed to talk" before letting her go and allowing her to hug David next.

The feast was the same as always. This year Ginny also got sorted into Gryffindor. Aaliyah was delighted for her, but she knew that Ginny definately would end up here. She had to right?

After the feast. And being introduced to the most self obsessed professor the group have ever laid eyes on. Aaliyah and Riviera headed back to their dorm room. Just like last year they were in the same room, Katie and Alicia were in a room and Angelina was sharing a room with another fourth year girl whose name Aaliyah still didnt actually know.

After unpacking, Riviera and Aaliyah decided it would be a good idea to head to David and Lee's room. Aaliyah not sure if she was picking up on this right, but Riviera wants to be around David a lot more recently.

"Oh wait, I forgot I needed to tell you something." Riviera exclaimed stopping dead in the middle of the hallway and turning to face Aaliyah.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that too. What's up Riv?" Aaliyah said also suddenly remembering that Riviera had said something when they met at the carriages.

"Its Fred" Riviera whispered carefully making Aaliyah look at her quizzically.

"What about Fred?" She asked slowly and Riviera dropped her head and began talking to the floor.

"He was giving out about you on the train to Lee and David. He said that you were constantly trying to start fights with him over the summer and that you were acting worse than his mother over the flying car incident. He said that hes sick of being treated like a child in your relationship." Riviera said and Aaliyah could feel her stomach drop to her feet.
