Forever the Lion and Badger

Broken Promise

George's POV

It was late at night when Fred came into our dorm with a smile, I haven't seen it since Stella left. If Fred was happy I was happy. The only thing I know is that the smile was for one light brown haired girl.

G- " what's made you so happy this late?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. He looks at me with an even wider smile.

F- " Stella, she is no longer under the stupid love spell. She says she misses us." As soon as he finished his sentence his smile went away and was replaced with sadness.

G- " What's wrong Fred? It should be great if she no longer gets hurt." I always hated seeing my twin upset. It ripped my heart in half to know he was sad.

F- " She is still hurting George, Stella thinks it's her fault. She never said it in her letter but I believe she blames herself. George, I'm not letting her go again." I knew he was right, we couldn't let our close friend go. She meant too much to the both of us.

G- " What do you suggest we do Fred? She is in a different school. There is only little we could do."

F- " I am going to do anything I can. She doesn't deserve this." Fred then stormed out of the room. I knew he was going to do something he would regret, so I got up off my bed and started to run after him.

G- " Fred, Stella wouldn't want you to do this. I'm also sure mom would kill you finding out you got into another fight." I was trying to get to Fred before something happened, but he was walking fast through the common room doors.

I wasn't "quick enough". Fred always was a hot head, once he had his mind on a fight there was no way of stopping him. That was always one way of telling us a part. I stopped as soon as I saw the crowd gathered in the corridor, that's when I saw it happened.

Fred's POV

G- " Fred, Stella wouldn't want you to do this. I'm also sure mom would kill you finding out you got into another fight." That is the last thing I could hear. My racing heart was too loud to hear anything else. I know George was right, but this was Stella. I couldn't just let him get away with everything.

My feet were moving so fast my brain didn't comprehend where they were leading me, until I stood in front of a group of Slytherins. In front was no other than the slimy snake called Matt. Without thinking my fist made contact with his face, I then pushed him to the wall of the corridor.

F- "YOU DID THIS, YOU RUINED THE LIGHT THAT WAS INSIDE OF STELLA!" I punched him again this time his nose started to bleed.

M- " She deserved it, she needs to know her place in this world." I felt a pain in my stomach that made me let go of my grip. Next Matt grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back pushing me to the wall

M- " Poor little Fred, always going to be the friend that can't protect the girl. Face it she will always choose me, that light was long gone before me." With all of my strength I was able to turn around. With my other hand I punched his stomach and we both went down.

I blacked out. It wasn't until I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me up did I see his face. Matt's face was all bloody, he had a cut on his lip and eyebrow. I looked over my shoulder and saw George

F- " LET ME GO GEORGE, THIS IS FOR STELLA!"

G- " Stella wouldn't want this, He wants this to happen please Fred calm down." I knew he was right. As I was looking at Matt again something felt off, he had a smile on his face. A smile that it could be the devils.

F- " Okay, Get me out of here George before I do anything else, I don't want Stella finding out about this."

G- " Of course mate, let's go." We walked away from everyone. Not looking back at the cold eyes that were Matt's. Little did I know that this fight was what Matt needed to keep his clutch on Stella. I lost something in this fight, and I don't know how I am going to get it back.
