Bumblebee (A Fred Weasley Fanfiction)

- CHAPTER SEVEN -

The New Year's Eve Party

Emmie arrived at Lee Jordan's house, it was in a Muggle neighborhood but from the sound of it there was some sort of charm put around the house so the neighbors couldn't hear the noise.
Emmie knocked on the door and Lee opened it,
"hi Lee," she said,
"hey, thanks for coming," he replied, "yeah, this should be fun,"
"My dad's away on work business so we can do whatever we want!" He got louder as he reached the end of his sentence,
"brilliant!" Emmie exclaimed stepping inside.
She looked around, the house wasn't massive but it was big enough to fit the whole year. There was coloured lights coming from somewhere and The Weird Sister were playing loudly.
"Emmie you're here!"
She turned around to see Fred, he was swaying from side to side to the music and he had a cup in his hand,
"I am!" She replied,
"here come in the living room, I have something to show you,"
He lead her into the living room where George, Angelina Johnson, Lee Jordan, Alicia Spinnet and Cedric Diggory where all sat in a circle, Emmie and Fred joined them and Fred pulled something out of his jacket pocket, a bottle of Firewhisky. He opened it and took a swig, his face scrunched up and he coughed a few times before smiling, "delicious. Emmie?" He asked offering her the drink, she shook her head,
"no thanks,"
"Aw come on," Fred said,
"hey, someone's gonna have to look after you."
Fred let out a defeated sigh,
"fine. Angelina?" Angelina nodded, he passed it to her and soon it was passed around the entire circle.

Soon everyone was drunk apart from Emmie, she didn't mind though, she was having fun.
Everyone was dancing when Lucian approached her,
"you alright?" He asked but she ignored him,
"hey," he lightly tucked her hair behind her ear, she pulled away,
"you're grim,"
Lucian laughed,
"you don't really think that."
"Oi mate," said a voice from behind, they both turned around to see George stood there,
"what mate?" Lucian asked stepping closer to George,
"piss off," he replied,
"or what," Lucian laughed,
"he said piss off," Fred appeared at his brothers side,
"look who it is, Tweedledum and Tweedledee."
Lucian was getting closer and closer to the twins, Emmie didn't know if they would do something but he was definitely going to punch them. He clenched his fists but the boys faces stayed emotionless, an anger came over Emmie and with a swift kick in the testicles Lucian was on the floor groaning. The twins high fived her and, as they walked away, Emmie noticed Lee Jordan approaching Lucian to kick him out.

Everyone went outside into Lee's back garden, it was freezing cold but no one really minded. As Lee and Cedric started to set up the fireworks a countdown started.
"10...9...8...7...6...5..." Everyone called, "4...3...2...1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
Emmie turned around, smiling, to where Fred was stood behind her to see him kissing Angelina. Her smile dropped,
"Oh," she said to herself before turning to the door.
Emmie pushed past everyone to get back inside,
"hey where are you going?" George stopped her,
"inside," she replied bluntly,
"but you'll miss the fireworks," he said but she was already gone.

Emmie woke up, she was on the floor of the bathroom. She stood up and looked in the mirror, her eyes were red and puffy. What time is it? The sky looked orange through the frosted glass, maybe the sun was rising.
She walked downstairs, the house was full of remnants from the party but none of the people. She entered the living room to see Fred sat on the floor, leant against the sofa, he was clutching a bucket and his skin was pale, almost green, George was next to him with his hand on Fred's back. They both looked up as she walked in,
"rough night?" She asked sarcastically, Fred opened his mouth to reply but quickly stuck his head in the bucket, "yeah," George replied for him,
"he needs water," Emmie spoke sitting down next to him, George got up and walked to the kitchen.
"You alright?" She asked Fred,
"no," he groaned,
"yeah well you did drink alot," she said, "and I fucked everything up."
"What do you mean?" She asked, he sighed,
"you can't tell Emmie this,"
"I promise," she said,
"I kissed Angelina,"
"Why can't Emmie know that?" She asked,
"because then she'll think I like Angelina when I don't... I like her."
George came back in and handed Fred a cup of water,
"I've got to get going," Emmie said standing up,
"it was good seeing you," George spoke,
"you too," Emmie replied.
