AN. Double update make sure to read part three first

'Gin I cant. I cant let you see what Im going to do to them okay? Just know they will pay for what they done to George. Please stay here with Riv for me' I said as I walked out the portrait hole.

I made my way down to the entrance hall careful to watch out for any teachers and opened the door, sprinting down to the quiddich pitch where I could see a small group of people. 

Belby, Davies and Pucey were standing there pure confused and looking at the group surrounding them. 'Well if it isnt the homophobic bastards who think its funny to bully my brother' I shouted as I made my way closer to the group. 

'Angie. Bring the rest of the girls up to the common room. Riv and Ginny are there. Tori you can go with them too' I said and they all looked at me. 'Fred you cant be serious?' Katie said. 

'Yeah they need to pay for-' 

'They will pay Ali. Dont worry your little head. But I dont need too many people involved in this. The rest of you need to go. We have it covered' I said as the girls huffed. 'Im waiting up to hear what happens' Angelina said as she took Alicias hand and made her way up to the castle, closely followed by Katie, Hermoine and Astoria who looked back at Draco apprehensively. 

'Its alright, Ginny is up there' I told the younger girl who smiled slightly at me. 'So Fred whats the plan?' Lee asked as I looked at the three boys that I wanted to kill. 'You and David can try to kill him' I said as I pointed to Belby who looked at me and whimpered. 

'Draco, Ron, Harry' I called to the younger boys. 'Davies is all yours' they nodded as the three of them advanced on the Ravenclaw. I could hear grunts and whimpers and shouts coming from the other side of the pitch. Aparenly Lee wasnt wasting any time murdering Belby. 

'That leaves me and you Weasley' Pucey spat as he walked towards me. 'Are we really going for round three?' he questioned as he pulled back his fist. 

'We most definately are' I said as I jumped on him unexpectadly. He stumbled backwards and I jumped on top of him, pinning his arms to his side and punching him in his face repeatedly. The blood was pouring out of his nose, mouth and eyebrows but I didnt care. He deserved this, he deserved this more than Belby, more than Davies, hell he even deserved this more than McLaggan. 

'Never' I said as I punched him in the side of the head yet again. 'Never fucking say anything about my brother again. How about I beat you normal huh? I yelled. 

'How fucking dare you Pucey. You fucking homophobic bastard.' I said as I hit him over and over again. I am pretty sure hes unconscious right now, but I dont care. I needed this. George needed this. Lee needed this. Everyone needed this. 

'Fuck you Pucey' I said as I stood up and looked down at his unconscious figure. I turned around and saw Ron, Harry and Draco all hitting Davies and David and Lee sitting beside a seemingly unconscious Belby. I looked down at Pucey once more and spat at his face. 

'You better remember all of this Pucey. Or else there will be hell to pay if you say one more thing to my brother.' I said as I walked over to Lee and David. 

'Hes unconscious' Lee muttered as he stood up. 'Im going to bed' he said as he and David headed up to the school. 

'You too Belby' I said lightly pressing my foot into the boys neck. 'One more thing comes out of your mouth. You even look at my brother wrong. I will not hesitate to kill you' I said as spat on his face also. 

'Boys' I shouted as I made my way over to the three younger boys. 'Draco, Harry' I said looking at each of them in turn. 'Go back to the school. We will be up in a minute' I said as the two of them got up and headed in the direction of the school. 

'Davies' I muttered and the boy looked at me. 'See you didnt end up unconscious' I said and he nodded. 'Ron thought I should feel every punch and kick, thought I deserved it all.' he told me as he sat up. 

'We arent friends you know that Davies' I said as I pushed him back down with my foot. 'You treated my brother like shit. Everything you said to him was wrong. And you say one more thing. Look at him wrong. And I am telling you Davies. Merlin himself wont save you' I said as I got onto my hunkers in front of him. 'I know' he said as he looked at me. 

'Never will you say anything to him, do you hear me?' I said and he nodded. I pulled back my fist and hit him once in the head, hard. Effectively knocking him out before standing up and spitting on his face aswell. 

'Why do you do that?' Ron asked me as we headed back to the school. 'Spit on them' he said when I looked at him puzzled. 

'They are dirt Ron. And you spit on the dirt' I told him as we made our way towards the portrait hole. I walked through the door and was immediately bombarded by questions from the group of girls that I had made wait behind. 

'And so we left the three of them on the quiddich pitch and McLaggan is upstairs, but he just got hit by a bludger' I finished up and they all looked at me. 

'That was wrong you know that Fred' Hermoine told me and I shrugged. 'Not as wrong as what they done to George. And Im hoping they have learned their lesson and wont say anything to anyone else. None of them will be going anywhere near George thats for sure' I said as I pulled Ginny into a hug. 'Its alright Gin. They wont hurt him again' I said as she nuzzled her head into my shoulder. 

'I know. Im worried about you now. What if they try to do something to you?' she asked and I shook my head. 'Its okay. We have all got each others backs. Nobody will hurt any of us. Not one. Not after tonight' I said looking around the room, looking at each person and giving them a small nod as I talked. 

We stayed and talked for another few minutes. Ginny continued to hug into me, as if she was afraid that I would disappear if she let me go for a second. She only let go when Lee came up behind her and tapped her on the back. She let go of me and walked over to where Draco and Astoria were standing. 

'Fred?' Lee called making me look back down at him. 'Thank you' he said as he too pulled me into a hug. 'Thank you for sticking up for George. Thank you for doing what I couldnt' he said into my shoulder as I hugged him tighter. 

'You would have' I told him. 'You would have done it if you had known. Nobody knew. He didnt tell a soul until tonight. Without Aaliyah we still wouldnt know' I said honestly. 

He nodded. 'Im actually going to bed now' he said as he chuckled. 'Be sure to thank Aaliyah for me wont you?' he asked and I nodded. 

I turned my attention back to the group and we continued to talk about what had just happened. Hermoine still thought it was important that George went to Professor McGonagall about it. I kind of agreed with her, something permanent needed to be done. Merlin knows how many people they have been saying stuff too, I wont be in the school to protect everyone forever.

'I need to go up to Aaliyah though' I said after a minute or two. 'She will be worried about me' I said as everyone called their goodnights to me. 'And Fred' Hermoine told me as I spun around at the bottom of the staircase to the boys dorm. 'Please get your hands cleaned up. They are pretty badly beaten. I think you broke your right one' she said as I looked down at my hands. 

And surely enough, all my knuckles are split open, and blood is dripping out of all of them. The rest of them have it worse I thought. 'I will Moine dont worry' I said as I ran up the stairs. 

I opened the bedroom door as quietly as possible only to be met by Aaliyah sitting up in the bed. 'Princess' I whispered making her look up at me. 'You waited up' I said as I went over to the bed and she pulled me into a hug.
