Fred Weasely- Drowning

Fear of drowning/ deep waters

----------------------------------

"Y/N? Baby?" My mother's muffled voice called out for me. "Darling!" I couldn't respond but I was so scared. So I thrashed my body around hoping to get her attention. Everything around me was dark and I was sore. I saw something moving underneath me. A piece of seaweed wrapped itself around my leg, though to my 6 year old self it was a monster. I trashed around more barely keeping awake, from the lack of air. Though my mom found me and rescued me from the freezing water. My heart was racing a thousand miles a minute, my head was spinning, and I felt stuck and helpless. Even as my mother placed me on the ground I continued to thrash and scream.

The memory kept playing over and over in my head. But I couldn't wake up.

Fred's POV

"Have you seen Y/N?" Harry asked me as we stood on the piers.

"She's probably back on shore waiting to congratulate you." I told him.

"Why isn't she out here?" He pushed.

"It's warmer there. Now focus on winning." I backed away to where George and Lee were standing.

At the sound of the cannon the champions dove into the water. Harry was much less graceful but he made up for it with a flip in the air. About an hour later Cedric came up with Cho Chang. Fleur had come up earlier but she didn't save her sister. After Cedric it was Victor and Hermione. Suddenly Fleur's little sister popped out of the water, followed by Y/N. I could see the panic and fear on her face and I pushed through everyone to get to the edge. Y/N swam with the girl even though she was terrified. When she made it to the pier the girl was pulled up and I grabbed Y/N, I pulled her into my arms even though she was soaked and wrapped towels around her. She was shaking and I knew it wasn't just from the cold. Sobs raked through her body as she clung to me, burying her head in my chest.

Your POV

Fred pulled me out of the water and I wrapped my arms around him tightly. I was too scared to open my eyes again so I closed them and buried my head into his chest. He was warm, so warm and he smelled like cinnamon and firework power. It brought a small smile to my face but the fear took that away. I felt bad for crying but it was too much for me to stop. I felt Fred put towels around me and wrap his arms around me tightly. He rubbed his hands up and down my arms and back trying to warm me up.

Fred was the only one I told about my fear, that's why everyone else was worried and confused on why I was acting so strange.

I could hear people talking but I couldn't comprehend the words. The only words I could hear were Fred's.

"We are going to go back to land now." He whispered to me as he picked me up. I tensed up and clung to him more. "Shhh...It's ok, Darling. I've got you." He kissed my forehead but I still didn't open my eyes, I couldn't.

I could hear the water sloshing against the boats as they waited for us, this sent me into another panic attack. I felt like I couldn't breath, sobs wracked through my body again. I was trembling like a Chihuahua on the 4th of July, and my head was spinning. I heard Fred trying to calm me down but it didn't last very long because I lost consciousness.

Fred's POV

I felt Y/N tense in my arms before going limp. There were people crowding in front of us trying to get on the boats.

"Move!" I yelled, causing some to look at my holding Y/Ns body. "I need to get her to Madam Pomfreys" This was enough motivation because they parted ways and I walked forward. Obviously someone didn't hear me because I ran into them. It was Malfoy.

"Move." My voice was stern. He turned around and was about to say something but when he saw the girl in my arms, his eyes widened and he went pale. Then he backed away and let us through.

I sat watching Y/Ns chest rise and fall gently. Her skin had paled but her cheeks were dusted pink. I was sitting next to her holding her hand, waiting for her to wake up. It had only been a few hours but it felt like forever. A light squeeze on my hand made my head shoot up. Y/N was starting to wake up.

Y/N POV

I was definitely warmer and dry. Though the bright lights that flooded into my sight were confusing. I felt something in my hand and I gave it a light squeeze, it squeezed back. I could almost tell it was Fred by the squeeze but looking over at him confirmed it. "Hey," I said, my voice a bit raspy.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Fred asked.

"Tired. But with you here I'm ok." I took a deep breath and let my head hit the pillow.

"I'm so sorry for what happened. If I had known what the next task was going to be I wouldn't have let you within 100 feet from it. Or let anyone talk to you about it."

"It's okay, Freddie. I don't want your pity."

"You're right. Is there anything you do want?" Fred's big puppy dog eyes looked at me.

"Cuddles, from my favorite Weasley." A smile broke out on Fred's face. "Unfortunately that red head is in Romania." I tried to keep a straight face but the look of fake betrayal on Fred's face was priceless. "Im joking, come here you big idiot." I moved over and Fred slid into the small bed next to me. Holding me close to his chest and running his fingers through my hair.

Sorry for so many POV changes but I felt like they needed to be there.
