Bumblebee (A Fred Weasley Fanfiction)

- CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT -

The Bumble Bee

With Umbridge in charge, she put in place the Inquisitorial Squad. Handpicked students such as Malfoy could take away and give house points for pretty much whatever they wanted.
"Malfoy just docked us all about fifty points," said Harry furiously, "yeah, Montague tried to do us during break," said George.
"What do you mean tried?" Asked Ron quickly, "they pushed him head-first into the Vanishing Cabinet on the first floor," Emmie replied.
Hermione looked very shocked, "but you'll get into terrible trouble!"
"Not untill Montague reappears and that could take weeks," said Fred coolly, "anyway, we've decided we don't care about getting into trouble any more."
"Have you ever?" Asked Hermione, "course we have," said George, "never been expelled, have we?"
"We've always known where to draw the line," said Fred,
"We might have put a toe across it occasionally,"
"But we've always stopped short of causing real mayhem,"
"But now?" Asked Ron tentatively, "well, now -" George started, "- what with Dumbledore gone -" Fred added, "- we reckon a bit of mayhem -"
"- is exactly what our dear new Head deserves."
"Speaking of Umbridge, I've got a meeting with her," said Harry, "about what?" Emmie asked, "no idea," he replied standing up.

When he had left the Great Hall, Fred and George stood up also, "come on," Fred said to Emmie, "where are we going?"
"You'll see."

The trio arrived outside of Umbridge's office and George placed an enormous case of enchanted fireworks on the ground. "Stand back," Fred said as he waved his wand and a massive BOOM! filled the hallway.
When Umbridge and Harry emerged from the office, dragons comprised entirely of green and gold sparks were soaring up and down the corridors, emitting loud fiery blasts and bangs as they went; shocking pink Catherine wheels five feet in diameter were whizzing lethally through the air like flying saucers; rockets with long tails of brilliant silver stars were ricocheting off the walls; sparklers were writing swear words in midair of their own accord and fireworks were exploding like mines.
Emmie watching for a moment before following Fred and George through a door which was concealed behind a tapestry to hide but also listen to Umbridge and Filch's yells and screams.
"Impressive," Harry whispered, escaping into the room, "very impressive, you'll put Dr Filibuster out of business no problem,"
"Cheers," whispered George wiping tears of laughter from his face. "Oh, I hope she tries Vanishing them next, they multiply by ten every time you try."

The weather grew breezier, brighter and warmer as the Easter holidays passed, but Emmie, along with the rest of the fifth and seventh years, were trapped inside revising.
Emmie was in the girls dormitory when she heard a hideously loud wailing noise coming from the common room followed by Fred shouting.
"Hey I'm not a weirdo okay! Why are you looking at me! I'm just trying to get into the -"
"Fred, what's going on?" She asked him as she entered the common room to see a bunch of angry girls staring at him.
"I didn't know there were alarms on the Hufflepuff girls dorms as well," he replied, "how did you know there were ones in the Gryffindor - you know what nevermind," she said, "so why are you here?"
"Well I thought we needed a break from all the revising -"
"I haven't been revising, I've been trying to conjure a Patronus," she replied, "yeah I haven't been revising either," he said, "but still. Come on."
Fred held out his hand and Emmie took it and he led her out of the common room and down the corridor.
Emmie looked around at her surroundings, "are we going to the astronomy tower?" She asked as Fred just looked at her and smiled.
They reached the top of the tower, "so what are we going to do up here?" She asked, "well I brought snacks," he replied pulling boxes from his robes, "those better not give me a fever or a nosebleed,"
"I promise. Unbreakable vow," Fred laughed.
He opened a box of Every Flavour Beans and popped a few in his mouth. "Here," he said before throwing one at Emmie, she opened her mouth to catch it but missed. "Let me try, let me try," she said taking a bean, she threw it and it hit Fred straight on the nose, "ow!" He said before pelting a few at her. "Hey, don't waste them," Emmie said, crawling around to pick them up. As she did, she looked over the edge of the tower at the Hogwarts grounds, "this place really is beautiful isn't it," she said, standing up to get a better look, "not as beautiful as you my love," said Fred, standing up to join her, she looked at him for a second, "gross."
"Wow," he said, "I say something nice and you hit me with gross. I can't believe you,"
"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Emmie put her arm round him, "you're beautiful too," she kissed him on the cheek, "no, I don't except that,"
"Well fuck you then," she turned back to the view. In the distance she noticed something, like a person looming over the Forbidden Forest but when she blinked it disappeared.
"Hey Fred," she spoke quietly, "yeah?"
"I'm sorry for taking so long with... Well you know... Stuff,"
"What do you mean?" He asked her, she paused for second, not knowing how to put it.
"You know... Stuff," she looked him up and down hoping he would understand her.
"Oooooh. Stuff. Yeah I don't mind," he shrugged,
"You do mind. I know," she replied, "no honestly I don't. After this year we'll be free to do what we want. We have loads of time to do... Stuff whenever you're ready." He replied, "because you know you're not getting rid of me, I'll be there till the day we die." He gave her a quick kiss on the nose but Emmie pulled away, "that's an awfully long time to spend with you," she giggled, Fred shook his head but laughed along, "you can't take anything seriously can you?"
"Says you," she replied.

They sat back down, "so, how close do you think you are to producing a Patronus then?" Fred asked, "I don't know, maybe I should try now," Emmie replied.
She pulled out her wand and closed her eyes, but instead of thinking of a happy memory from the past, she thought of what she was doing right then. Simply hanging out with Fred with no worries, joking around.
"Expecto Patronum," she spoke before opening her eyes, the wisps of silver coming from her wand were alot brighter then usual and then slowly a small, fat, bumble bee appeared.
"A bumble bee?" Emmie said as it started to fade away, "that's my Patronus. A bumble bee?"
Fred snorted, "that is pretty funny. It was tiny,"
"I'm not like a bumble bee am I?"
"No of course not," he reassured her, "bumble bee's are... Well they're quite cute aren't they really and they're not evil like wasps, they only sting you if you're being a prick to them... Emmie, I think you're alot like a bumble bee," he laughed.
