"lyra, dear, you can't fall asleep in the gryffindor common room. i mean, honestly, i don't think i've ever heard of a ravenclaw even being in our common room."
"fuck off, lee, i'm not falling asleep. just 10 more minutes until i finish writing this paper and then i will leave," lyra yawned. although she had come to work on her potions assignment with george, he hadn't been much help. somehow, he had managed to convince one of the younger boys to write his paper for him. i suppose snape would never know, due to the fact that george writes like a second year anyway.
"why can't you do that in your common room? hell, even the library?" fred chipped in.
"okay if its that big of a deal then i'll go. i was hoping george would come to his senses and remember that he told me that we would do this together."
"pevensie, you do realize that george hasn't done his own school work since he was merely an ickle first year, right?" fred laughed.
"i thought that maybe since there was no quidditch, he would put in the effort to do well this year. i know you two don't plan on getting a regular career, but it is still important to learn the basics of what we are taught in school."
"yeah i'm sorry, but i don't speak ravenclaw—" fred began was lyra threw her textbook straight at his face.
"fred weasley you are the exact reason why i like girls more," she scoffed, collecting her things.
"oh, come on! i was joking!"
"sure you were."
"oh quit being such a pick-me girl!"
"excuse me?"lyra snapped, turning on her heel to face the boy.
"you're always saying 'oh my godric, i hate girls, that's why i only have guy friends' and then the second a guy hurts your feelings, you start chatting about how you like girls more."
"okay first of all, i have never in my life said that i only hang out with boys. i hang out with lots of girls. second, i was talking about dating. i prefer to date girls because you boys are so wishy-washy. and third, i am not a pick-me. don't call me that ever again, or i'll shove my foot so far down your throat that you taste—"
"oi! what's going on down here?" george interrupted.
"freddie called lyra a pick-me girl," lee informed him. georges eyes widened before he spoke.
"brother, i'll be praying for you."
they all laughed. fred caught lyra laughing as well and he raised his finger at her. "you call us wishy-washy, but you were just fuming ten seconds ago!"
"okay, well i'm bleeding out of my vagina right now," she retorted.
"what's a vagina? i'm a visual learner by the way," lee stated.
"how come girls always get mad when we ask if they're on their period when they act a certain way, but you get to say it?" fred asked.
"because. it's disrespectful if you all say it, but it's informative when we say it," she grinned. "anyway, its time for me to head back. i've been around you dimwits and lee for far too long. george, will you walk me back please?"
"oh no, it's fred turn," he smirked and put his hands behind his head while leaning back.
"my turn? you always walk her back!"
"yes, but now you two are friends, so you can officially walk her back to her common room. besides, you need the workout. we've been eating like ron since quidditch stopped."
fred life up his shirt to show his brother his well defined abs and lack of fat. "just because you don't workout during off-season doesn't mean i don't."
"trying to show me up now, huh?" george smirked, lifting his shirt as well as flexing his arm muscles.
"oh yeah?"
"ugh you boys are disgusting. i'll go by myself—"
"no, not with those durmstrang boys walking around. absolutely not." george stated.
"then hurry up because i'm ready to go to bed."
lyra turned to walk out and fred trampled behind her.
"i'm only doing this because george will kill me if i let you go by yourself."
"okay." lyra had to admit, that had hurt her feelings a little. she wanted fred to want to be around her, but now she just felt like a burden. he didn't want to be here and she understood. but it still hurt.
they walked in silence on the way to the ravenclaw common room, until fred spoke.
"lyra—"
lyra whipped her head around in surprise. she hadn't expected him to say anything at all.
"there's a party next weekend. with the beauxbatons and durmstrang students. it'll be in the gryffindor common room at 9 on saturday. you should join us."
she smiled and gave him a nod. fred turned around and began walking back to his dormitory.
