The Ravenclaw Girl (F.W.)

Chapter 7

Sabrina's Pov

"I'll see you tonight. Don't be late." He whispered in my ear and I blushed as I walked to my friends. I sat down, "Hey guys." I felt more relaxed not having to see Dylan here. But a part of me wondered where he might be.

"What was that all about?" Amanda asked. I began to panic. How did she know about Dylan? Why would he tell her? "What? It was nothing."

"That was not nothing. Why were you talking to Fred?"

Oh thank god she was talking about Fred. "Oh that right he wants to show me that he's sorry for all the pranks. And trust me I'm going prepared. He swears that it's not a prank but I'm still going to be prepared."

"You're seriously just going to trust him after all these years?" Amanda questioned.

"I don't know. He seemed sincere. I'm not just going to be a bitch to him."

"You should be being a bitch to him. He has done nothing but torture you since first year."

"Amanda I know but this might be the best way to end this fucking insane war."

"Whatever you say, just be careful okay?"

"I know I will be."

Amanda and I continued to eat our lunch and talk when Diana walked in and sat down with us. She seemed frustrated. "Have any of you guys seen Dylan? He didn't show up to class."

I felt guilty. I should have never started sneaking around with him. I never would have if I knew it was going to lead to this. I hated keeping this a secret from my closest friends but I have no other choice. "Umm no I don't think I have."

"He probably didn't feel like going to class. You know how he gets." Amanda said with a mouth full.

Diana sighed, "Our parents are going to be so upset if he keeps this open. It's literally the first day and he didn't bother to show up to class."

Guilt grew heavier. I know this isn't entirely my fault. Dylan could ignore what happened in the classroom and get to class but that wouldn't be him. He has to be dramatic and make everyone worry.

"Do you need any help finding him?" I asked Diana.

"No, don't bother looking for him, it's a waste of time. If he cares about anything other than himself for once then he will come to his next classes."

Diana has always been frustrated when her brother did things like this. When he would run away and not tell anyone why or when he would be back. At first she was worried about him. She didn't like thinking that something bad might happen to him. But when he would finally come home he was either high or drunk off his ass. She then became less concerned for where he might be or when he would come back. There would always be a part of her that was worried for him but not enough to go out looking for him.

"Don't worry Diana I'm sure he will come to at least one of his classes today." I said trying to sound as positive as I could be. She nodded her head in agreement.

We finished eating and made our way to our classes. Amanda and I parted ways from Diana and headed to our next class together. As our classes continued throughout the day before each class I found myself looking around and watching everyone walk into the classroom. But he never showed. He could have been in another class. But we had to at least have one class together. But no nothing. Every class I had today, not once did I even see a small glance of his face.

But that could not ruin my day. I am tired of always being the one that is going to stay up all night waiting for him to return safely to his dorm. It was not my job. This was more of a job for Diana but I knew she had given up on that job a long time ago. As my last class came to an end and I began walking to the Great Hall for dinner, excitement took over me. A small smile on my face as I sat down at my table. I looked to the Gryffindor table but only saw George talking to Lee. I was surprised throughout dinner as I never felt the feeling of his eyes on me. Every now and then I looked at the table but came across the same thing. George and Lee were laughing and not seeming to care that Fred had never joined them. I wondered if he forgot or if it really was a prank. But I couldn't help but be excited to see if something truly good was up in the astronomy tower.

Fred's Pov

After all of my classes I decided to skip dinner and head up to the astronomy tower to get every set up. I was bubbling with excitement. Everything has to go perfectly. If one thing goes bad I'm afraid she will think it's a prank and try to prank me. I'm not stupid I know she is going to come into this with something up her sleeve. But she won't do anything unless I do something already. Or at least I hope she won't do anything when she first walks in.

I laid out a blanket in front of the opening so that way we could look out and see the stars. I had a small picnic basket full of tiny sandwiches and some desserts. My personal favorite being the chocolate strawberries. I could just imagine how that might play out. I began to hang string lights above the blanket and made sure everything looked perfect. I smiled to myself at my work that I did for this girl. A girl who might not like this and ignore me after this but I'm hoping things go my way for once.

I made my way to the railing looking out to the night sky. I let out a deep sigh. This could go one of two ways. Everything could go perfect and I could call this breathtaking girl mine or it could go wrong and she will think this is some kind of prank and never want to speak to me again. This all had to go well and if it doesn't I don't think I'm going to stop trying. I can't stop trying. This girl means everything to me. She has always had this hold on me.

I paced back and forth as I knew that dinner was ending soon. I waited and waited when I heard a small knock at the door. My heart began to race. "Come in," I said. As the door opened to reveal the most beautiful girl my heart beat stopped. It was like I forgot how to breathe as she smiled at me. I took a deep breath and tried my best to relax. I gestured to the blanket, "Have a seat?"
