Falling For You (Year One): Fred Weasley x OG Reader

Chapter 4: Quidditch and Sibling Quarrels

As the days passed on Katherine found herself rather busy, whether it was studying late with Hermione, pulling pranks with the twins, occasionally going to watch Harry and the twins at their quidditch practices, or playing wizarding chess with Ron. She was rather happy that things were for the most part normal.

Then there was the first quidditch game, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin.  Excitement in the air, Katherine stood with the other first years watching her friends, poor Harry looked absolutely terrified, the twins though were energetic as usual.

The match started off with Gryffindor in the lead but Slytherin began catching up. All of the sudden a Slytherin player hit the ball so hard, it nearly knocked Oliver Wood off his broom. Katherine looked at the Slytherin section and noticed they were all laughing at his near fall. Draco looked like he would wheeze himself out of existence.

And as if things couldn't be any worse Harry's broom was jerking every which way. It looked like a bull trying to buck him off. Looking through Hermione's binoculars, Katherine noticed something off about Snape...he was staring very intently at Harry, and wait a moment, was he...muttering?

"Oh my Godric Mione...it's Snape he's jinxing Harry's broom," Katherine muttered quietly.

Ron gasped. While Hermione grabbed the binoculars and looked where Katherine had been.

"We'll be back, come on Kathy." She said grabbing Katherine's hand and dragging her along.

"Please tell me you have a plan Mione," Katherine whispered

Sneaking under the professor viewing box the girls began trying to find Snape. Stopping directly underneath him, Hermione wand at the ready muttered,

"Lacarnum inflamari."

Flames began engulfing Snape's cloaks, Hermione backed away quickly dragging Katherine back to the stands.

"As Ron would say, you're a bloody genius 'Mione!" Katherine giggled as they made their way back.

Though they halted to the sound of gasping, it seemed Harry was trying to cough something up, coughing it up Kathy realized what it was immediately. He'd done it, he caught the snitch! Gryffindor had won the match!

Later back in the castle, Katherine snuck her way through a sea of older Gryffindor students, trying to make it to the portrait hole when a familiar voice greeted her.

"Ah my dear Ms. Fontaine where do you think you are going?", Fred asked

She snorted at his "formality",

"Why meeting my siblings in the library before curfew, Mr. Weasley."

"Would you care for an escort? It'd be my pleasure." he offered excitedly.

"As tempting as it would be my brother is not very fond of you Freddie."

Dramatically placing his hand at his chest in mock hurt,

"And how would you know that? I've never personally met your brother Kathers."

"Just trust me on this one, besides I can manage to the library.", Katherine said skirting around the red-headed twin.

The walk to the library was uneventful, that is until Katherine ran straight into someone. Looking up it wasn't just someone it was Draco.

"You filthy little-oh it's just you." He said realizing it was Kathy

If she had to bet he was about to call her a mudblood, but the brunette didn't feel like antagonizing the boy at the moment.

"Sorry I wasn't paying attention," she said curtly
