The Truth Of Blackthorn (Fred Weasley Fanfic)

17 - I Did My Waiting Pt 2

The weeks leading up to the end of year exams were tense with everyone running around panicking about not having studied more. But then there's me, Fred and George. Not a care in the world, we were happy enough to just sit in the corner of the common room and talk amongst ourselves.

Since Fred and I talked we've been closer than ever and Fred has been more open about his affections towards me. He'd take my hand when we're walking the halls, sometimes he kissed my cheek which never failed to make me smile and blush. At the current moment, it was the final day of exams and I was tucked away in the corner with Angelina and the twins. Fred had his arm around me and I was comfortably tucked into his side with my head on his shoulder while I jotted down words in my songbook.

"Can you guys just tell us you're official!" Angelina whined for the hundredth time this week. I laughed softly and Fred's arm tightened around me slightly.

"Sorry, Ange" I laughed and closed my book and lifted my head of Fred's shoulder, but his arm went around my waist and prevented me from moving anymore, "We're not together"

"Yet" Fred added and I smiled at him while rolling my eyes.

"But you're so," Angelina said and waved her arms at us in exasperation " together"

I snorted into my hand "He's trying to prove a point" I said with a blush and Fred took that opportunity to press his lips to my left cheek making me blush harder.

"What point?" Angelina asked and Fred smirked at her and put both arms around me and placed his chin on my shoulder.

"The point is," Fred said rolling his eyes "She's mine"

George made a gagging sound and I threw a ball of paper at his head with a smile on my face "You're just jealous" I smirked at George and he rolled his eyes. I glanced at the time and my heart stopped. "Shit!"

"What?" Fred's eyes followed mine to a clock and his face paled. "Shit" he echoed my word.

"I've got to go!" I said quickly standing up "Don't wait up, it's a long night"

I dashed out of the room after saying goodbye and I ran as fast as I could through the halls, narrowly avoiding Filch and his cat. When I caught sight of the Whomping Willow I ran faster. Harry and Hermione had just slipped inside the hole. I quickly followed and ran straight into a solid body and I fell flat on my backside. "Damn it!" I muttered as I got to my feet, brushing myself off and then I was engulfed in a hug.

"I thought you forgot" I heard Sirius say as he pulled away from the hug and I grinned at him.

"Like I'd miss this?" I said and mu smiled faded when I caught sight of Ron's leg, "Seriously? You couldn't avoid his leg?" Sirius shrugged and I sighed, "Even after I told you?" Another shrug, Hermione was looking at me with narrowed eyes which I chose to ignore and Harry lunged forward and tackled Sirius to the floor, "Harry, get off, would you" Harry ignored me and I rolled my eyes just as the door opened and Remus rushed in disarming Harry, "Moony!" I said happily and he sent me a small smile as Harry scrambled back over to Hermione.

"Are you going to kill me, Harry?" Sirius asked with a laugh and I covered my mouth with my hand to hide my smile. Hermionie was looking at Harry then at me, speechless.

"Well well Sirius, looking rather ragged aren't we?? Finally the flesh reflects the madness within"

"Well you would know all about the madness within wouldn't you, Remus" Sirius replied, still lying on the floor, Remus smiled slightly and brought Sirius to his feet and hugged his best friend tightly. "I found him!" Sirius said quietly.
