Friendship on Fire | Fred & George Weasley

First days always suck.

The nightmare of what happened last night haunted my dreams, causing me to toss and turn for hours. I woke up noticing it was only five thirty in the morning, knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep I decided to do one thing that always calmed me down..Draw. I put on my black robe and grabbed my sketch book and pencil and headed down to the common room, not wanting to wake my new roommate who was slightly snoring and peacefully sleeping.

I took a seat on the bench underneath the large window and finally got a good look at the common room. It was gorgeous really and made me fell at home. There were couches and chairs scattered about and the wallpaper had lions on almost ever inch. I brought my knees up to my chest and started to sketch my surroundings.. I was about halfway done with shading the fireplace when I heard footsteps come down from the dorms. All I saw was a mess of red hair but from my position i couldn't tell who it was, but I knew it was either Fred or George. But whoever it was looked bothered, as they kept running a hand through their hair and moving their head around rather quickly.

"You ok over there?" i called out as quietly as I could, where they could still hear me. They jumped at the sound of my voice and tripped over a pillow on the ground making me laugh. I saw it was Fred who was no laying on the ground. "Ronnie, You scared the crap out of me" Fred said putting a hand over his heart and walking over to me seat. I moved my position so there was room for him to sit beside me. "What are you doing up so late?" I asked him as he took the empty seat beside me. "I should ask you the same thing." He replied as he smiled down at me.

I just shrugged and continued on with my drawing. "wow Ronnie this is really good" Fred told me as he peeked over my shoulder. "Thanks" I said softly and closed my sketch book and tossed it on the table by the window. "I just couldn't sleep..I was having nightmares" I told him with a sad smile. He gave me a knowing look and placed a hand on my knee that was still pulled to my chest. "Everyone at Hogwarts isn't like that Ronnie, some people are just assholes..pardon my french" he said winking at the last part making me smile.

"Thank you for everything Fred..I really don't know what would have happened if you hadn't come along last night" I said looking out the window at the sun that was now starting to set.  "I know what would have happened, But i don't want to think about it" He said quietly as he squeezed my knee. I smiled at the cute red headed boy beside me and the sunlight that was now pouring through the window made him look very handsome, I could see what a pretty brown his eyes were and the cute freckles across his nose looked more defined.

"Ronnie I want to tell you that I-" He started to say but was cut off by a couple of sixth years coming down the stairs and dressed for classes. They were rather loud for this early in the morning, and I knew continuing this conversation with Fred was a lost cause. "Im gonna go get ready for class fred" I said kissing his cheek and heading back upstairs.

When I walked in my room I saw my roommate was already up and dressed. "Oh Hi! Im Angelina Johnson!" she exclaimed and gave me a quick hug. "I was wondering where you had gone to last night and this morning" She added as she quickly ran a hairbrush though her dark brown hair. Looking at her now she was a really pretty girl with dark skin and very full lips. She was about 5 inches taller than me, and obviously was a couple years older than me. "Im sorry, I got lost last night and woke up really early today" I said taking off my robe and hanging it on the back of the door.

"Oh its ok! George said Fred went looking for you last night, So I figured he found you" she told me giving me a wink and grabbing her bag. "Yeah..." I said trailing off as memories of the night before came back to me. "Are you ok?" she asked me placing a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her realizing I was burning a hole in the floor with my gaze, "Yeah, I'm fine.Just nervous for classes is all" I lied quickly.
