There's No Way- A Fred Weasley Fanfiction

Dolled Up

"Wake up! Wake up!" Cho shouted, hitting my face with my pillow.

"Bloody hell, Cho. Since when are you a morning person?" I groaned and rolled over onto my stomach, blocking out the light that was streaming through the curtains of the window.

"Since you let me do your makeup, and since it takes time, you need to get up now so you have enough time to eat." She said, yanking me out of my bed by my hand, my curls bouncing on my shoulders as I stumbled out of bed.

"Thanks for caring about my eating patterns, I guess," I mumbled, rubbing my eyes groggily.

"It's my job as the mom-friend." She shrugged and pulled me to the desk where she shoved me down by my shoulders onto the chair by her bag of makeup. And it was super full of stuff. I widened my eyes.

"Don't tell me I have to wear all that!" I yelled, shying away from the overstuffed bag.

"Of course not, only part of it." She said, sponging something onto my face. It was cold and I giggled.

A short while later, she stepped back to look at my face.

"Is it done?" I asked her. She nodded at me, smiling. I turned around to the mirror behind me and looked at my face. It looked different but good different. I smiled at Cho through the mirror.

"What do you think?" She asked me, brushing her fingers through her long hair.

"I love it, Cho! Thank you." I got up and hugged her.

"No biggie," She said, hugging me back. When we separated, we both went to the ends of our beds where our trunks lie. I pulled out my day wear, a white button-up shirt, my blue and black robes, and even a headband today. I also grabbed my skirt and my favorite shoes that gave me a little boost in height. I don't know why, but I felt today something good was going to happen.

Once I was dressed, I waved to the girls and exited the dorm, going down the steps and into Ravenclaw Tower, where other Ravenclaws were talking animatedly about what had apparently happened with Harry Potter.

"I wonder how he got his name in the Goblet," said a third year to his friend, who was shaking her head in annoyance.

"It's so stupid how they're letting him compete." She said. I walked past the two of them and made my way to one of the many bookshelves in our common room. While picking out a book, I bumped into Anthony Goldstien, one of my friends since third year.

"Hello, Anthony." I said to him, looking at a book. He smiled at me.

"Hey, Taylor. There was something I actually wanted to ask you," He said, sounding nervous.

"What's up?" I asked, setting down my book.

"Would you maybe want to be my girlfriend?" He rushed out. I widened my eyes in surprise. I would never had expected him to ask me out, we've been friends since forever.

"I- I'd like that, yeah," I said, smiling and blushing. I had to face the facts. If I waited around for Fred to ask me out, I'd die single.

"Really? Great!" He said, with one last smile, he ran off to his friend, undoubtedly telling him all about my answer.

I walked out of the common room, eager to find Fred and tell him about the latest update in my love life, since he was so interested in it.

I walked into the Great Hall and recognized two identical gingers. I could always tell Fred apart from George because Fred had a lighter Hazel eye-color than George. I snuck up quietly behind Fred, who was on the opposite side of his twin and their best friend, Lee Jordan, who was trying not to explode with laughter.

"What's so funny, Lee?" He asked, taking a bite of bacon. He practically lived for that stuff. I pounced on him, wrapping my arms around his neck, causing him to yell in surprise, and therefore, choking on his bacon. He immediately started coughing and I let go of him and sat next to him.

"Jeez, chew your food, Fred. Your mother didn't raise you to choke because you didn't chew your food." I said, stealing a piece of his bacon.

"Hey, that's mine. You have your own table to steal food from." He complained, putting more bacon on his plate.

"Yeah, yeah. Can I tell you what I came over here to tell you?" I asked, bouncing in my seat.

"Go ahead, love." Fred told me, setting down his bacon.

"Yeah, we're listening." George smiled.

"Well, I got a boyfriend!" I said, clapping my hands excitedly.

"You WHAT?" All three of them said at once.

Hi, please vote it means a lot to me!
