tension. (fred weasley fanfic)

"Class dismissed." Snape said, once i felt myself dozing off. i sighed in relief as i sprung to my feet, eager to leave his boring class as soon as possible. I grabbed my books and my bag, walking to the door before my name was called.

i furrowed my eyebrows, turning around to see Fred now walking up to me. "hey Larke, what's up with you?" Fred asked, "just tired, i barely slept last night." i said, running my fingers through my hair as he nodded. "who have you got now?" i added, as he pulled his timetable out of his pocket. 

"Trelawney, you?" He replied, his eyebrows slightly raised as he looked down at me. "Me too, would you care to walk with me?" i joked, grinning as he chuckled. "of course, how could i miss a chance with you?" he replied, as we both started walking to Divination.

We walked into the class which seemed to be already full, Professor Trelawney no where to be seen as i wondered over to the empty seat next to Angelina. "Hey pretty lady, how you been?" I asked, grinning as i placed myself next to her. 

"Good, how's weasley?" Angelina replied, biting back a giggle as i furrowed my eyebrows. "shouldn't i be asking you that?" i replied, scoffing as she shook her head whilst laughing. "Of course, changing the subject as usual." she winked, before Trelawney made her entrance.

What the hell was angelina talking about?

Me and Hermione made our way to the gryffindor stands shortly after dinner, i had pulled on one of my puffy coats as they provided me with warmth and were comfortable. We slipped into the front row luckily for us, saying hello to Seamus and Dean who we sat next to.

"Did you know harry got himself a detention with Snape?" Hermione asked, my attention fully focused on her as my eyes widened. "For what?" i replied, my eyebrows furrowed.

 "He shouted at him, it was a fucking stupid thing to do." Seamus added, my head shook and i opened my mouth to say something but was interrupted by lee's loud voice booming across the pitch.

"HERE COMES GRYFFINDOR ONTO THE PITCH, LOOKING GOOD AS USUAL!!" Lee shouted, as the gryffindor stand erupted into cheers whilst watching the team fly onto the pitch.

 Slytherin had joined the pitch not long after and the match started, i watched as george protected angelina from a bludger, grinning at the two before focusing on the match.

My eyes wandered towards a familiar redheaded boy and draco malfoy, who seemed to be shouting to eachother. draco knocked into fred, which was soon spotted by lee. 

Fred didn't back down, shoving draco back rougher which nearly made the platinum haired boy go flying off, but he caught his balance, but fred had already flew away.

 "That weasley boy doesn't take any rubbish from the slytherins!!" Lee cheered, as i laughed.

Soon enough there was thirty seconds left of the match, harry scored another goal which caused the gryffindor stand to stand up, loud cheers leaving mine and hermiones mouth as the match finished.

complaint's were being spat from the slytherin team as Professor Snape and Professor Mcgonagall rushed onto the pitch, seperating the two teams. 

the clouds soon covered the sky as gryffindor ran down to congratulate their team, the rain starting to pour heavily. "That was amazing!" i grinned, throwing myself into harry's arms which he laughed at. "What can i say? i've got some talents." he winked, letting me go as i ran my fingers through my drenched hair.

"Knew you could do it, mate!" george congratulated, messing up harry's hair as i furrowed my eyebrows, looking for fred. i soon spotted him, alicia had her arms around him as he looked down at her.

I couldn't help but feel jealous, seeing how close she was to him. i watched as he smirked down at her, whilst i ran my thumb over my bottom lip. i pushed away the jealous feeling, rushing over to congratulate george as i walked with him up the steps.

"i didn't know you had them talents, eh?" i joked, giggling. "Oh really? you didn't know?" George replied, unbuttoning the arm shields from his uniform as he looked at me through his lashes. "No i didn't know, you seemed pretty shit." i teased, winking as he laughed.

"Oh shove off." He replied, his strong arms around my legs as we walked up the steps with our friends close behind us. "Oh angelina, you were so amazing playing quidditch today." i whispered, his face going red as i giggled, rushing up the steps to the girls bathroom as i slipped inside.

I tugged off my drenched clothes and pulled back the shower curtain before getting inside, the heat instantly reacting with my cold skin. i sighed in content as i let my mind wander, pouring the shampoo into the palm of my hand.

I didn't quite understand why i felt the need to be so jealous of seeing alicia and fred together, but i knew alicia had a thing for him.

by the time i had snapped out of my thoughts, i was done my shower. i slipped into a pair of plaid pyjama bottoms and a black shirt. i brushed my teeth and ran a brush through my hair, before i trudged up towards the gryffindor common room quietly, noticing most of the paintings were asleep.

i must have been in the shower for quite some time, as the hallway's were completely empty. i quietly whispered the password to the fat lady who thankfully wasn't asleep, she smiled at me and i returned the kind gesture, slipping inside.

i quietly shut the door after me, noticing the only noise from the common room was the fire crackling. "Nova?" i heard a voice say, silently cursing to myself as i turned around to see fred sitting on the couch.

"hey, fred." i replied, with a small smile as he grinned. "were you seeing cedric?" he asked, standing up as i pulled a look. "no, i was showering." i replied, as he laughed. "my bad, you smell nice though." the red headed boy said, causing me to smile.

weirdly enough, he wrapped his arms around me in a warm hug. i felt comforted around his chest, still slightly confused from the gesture as i looked up at him to see he was smiling at me. "i suppose i better head to bed, seem's like you need a shower." i giggled, pulling away as a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "night, larke." he smiled, as i walked up to the girl's dormitory.

i slipped into my empty room, the moon illuminating my room. i switched the dim light on, shutting my curtains as i got underneath my comfortable covers. sighing, i fell into a deep sleep which was much needed.
