Friendship on Fire | Fred & George Weasley

The question.

Walking into the common room I felt fantastic even with the markings from my detention on my left hand. I felt great that I had handled Flint all by myself. I shook my head and laughed at the thought of the bug he was crawling around the castle, at least it was past curfew so he wouldn't have to worry about getting stepped on by hundreds of students. I was torn from my thoughts when a certain red head was sitting on the couch.

"How was detention?" I heard Fred ask as he turned around and gave me that adorable smile of his. The common room was empty, except for him..I wonder if he waited up for me. "Did you wait for me?" i asked him smiling as I took a seat beside him in front of the orange fire roaring in the fireplace. "I wanted to make sure you got back ok" He told me but his gaze moved from my eyes down to my hand, and his eyes widened. "What the hell happened to your hand?" he asked full of concern.

"Umbridge uses a blood quill for her detentions" I said with a slight chuckle. He took my hand and kissed it gently causing my cheeks to blush. "Its nothing really, I already have an antidote in my trunk upstairs..hold on ill be right back" I said winking and running up to my room. Angelina was already passed out with her potions book sprawled across her chest. I laughed and gently retrieved it and set it on her bed side table for her. I dug to the bottom of my trunk and found the potion I was looking for and a small rag. It was hidden with many other potions.. I had Polyjuice potion, Sleeping Potion, Calming Potions..Any potion I had created over the summer I brought to school with me just in case.

I ran quickly back down to the common room and saw Fred leaning his head back deep in thought. "Miss me?" I asked peering over his face that was slumped over the back of the couch. He jumped at the sudden appearance of my face, causing me to laugh. He saw the potion in my hands and took the vile and rag gently and dabbed some potion on the rag before softly placing the rag against my scarred skin. I winced at first but the pain was soon subsided as I watched the words that were engraved into my hand slowly disappear. "Thanks Fred" I whispered and took my potion from him.

"Did you get this from a potion book?" he asked with a confused look. I shook my head "No, Its my invention" I said smiling with modesty. "You really are too smart for your own good" He said shaking his head smiling. "Comes naturally I guess..Kind of like you and George with your pranks" I said shifting my position so my legs were sprawled across Fred's legs and I could have sworn I saw him blush.

"So Ronnie.." he said trailing off with a goofy smile on his face. "So Fred.." I said mimicking him. "Hogsmeade weekend is coming up next week" he said. I didn't know where he was trying to go with this conversation, was he just making small talk or was it something else..

"Yeah I know..I cant wait. Ive never been" I said smiling leaning my head to the side so it rested on the back of the couch. "Are you going with anyone?" he asked looking down at the fire. Something was wrong with Fred, he kept shifting is his seat and avoiding eye contact. "Are you ok Freddie?" i asked him placing a hand gently on his arm.

"Are you going with anyone?" He asked once more with a slight hint of agitation. "Fred, whats wrong with you?" I asked moving my legs so they were close to my chest. "Dammit Ronnie I'm trying to ask you out" Fred yelled jumping up from his seat and walking around the couch. I saw him pacing and running  a hand through his bright red hair. I jumped up and walked over to him. "Fred" I said quietly but still where he could hear me. He ignored me and kept walking back and forth. I leaned back against the couch and crossed my arms in hopes he would stop soon.

"Fred" I said again but a little louder, But was once again ignored by the cute red head. I rolled my eyes and glided over to him and stopped him from pacing any further. I stood on my tiptoes as Fred was much taller than myself. I placed my hands on either side of his face and placed a single soft kiss on his lips. The kiss was short, but I still got the same butterflies I felt whenever I was around Fred.

"Ill go out with you Fred" I whispered as we pulled away, both of our eyes still closed. I opened my eyes to see he had the biggest grin he could possibly have upon his adorable face. "You will?" He asked with a hopeful look. I nodded with the same cheesy grin, "Of course Freddie" I said kissing him once more. I couldn't help but the love the feeling that I got whenever Fred was around me. I blushed when he touched me and when we kissed all i could do was smile..

I fell asleep that night with a smile plastered on my face and dreamt of my date with the adorable red headed twin...
