Friendship on Fire | Fred & George Weasley

Hate and Desperation.

I used to think that the color pink was a happy color, a color I would see little girls dressed in as they played in the park...and would often be the color of choice for my sister Nymph's hair. But now, I really hate it and all it reminds me of is professor Umbridge. She is completely vile and I have a theory that she was mildly insane. She had twenty students shoved into the great hall today with blood quills in our hands. It was a monstrous detention as a lot of people in the room were barely eleven years old. Us older students had become quite used to feeling the pain across our hands as rude words would appear...but still I could hear the whimpers of the young lings behind my desk.

Harry was sitting on my right and was constantly twitching his left hand in pain. I glanced at Fred and could see him and George giving Umbridge identical scowls, who just sat in dumbledores chair at the front of the room and seemed to be enjoying our pain way too much. And it made me sick every time I was in the dragon ladies presence.

Three hours later and the lot of us were trotting out of the large double doors to the great hall. Everyone clutching their hands and a few had tears of pain running down their cheeks. Majority of us were heading to the hospital wing to use the antidote I had stored, except for me and the twins..I had a few vials of the antidote in my trunk and we were all too tired to trudge in the complete opposite direction of our common room. Cho and Marietta were standing outside of the great hall with guilty looks and earned glares and a couple shoves from a few gryffindors, mostly Ginny but Ginny had a few more reasons to knock into her than just that. I never liked Cho, but I never thought she would actually rat us out like that..

"Ronnie, we want to tell you something" George said, earning a glare from his twin. I was rubbing the antidote across George's right hand that held the disappearing words of I will not rebel. I had already attended to Fred, who was now lounging in the arm chair beside the couch. "What is it?" I asked softly not taking my eyes off of Gorge's healing hand. "We cant stay here anymore" Fred said quietly in almost a whisper. In an odd way I was kind of expecting this from the two of them. Fred and George had such a different spirit that was being ruined by the authoritative dictator that currently controlled our school. I knew what they were passionate about was their joke shop, as it had done a killing at Hogwarts. They were talented and creative and if they felt the need to leave the school I couldent blame them...

"I understand" I said giving a sad smile to the pair of them. George soon pulled me into a tight hug as I was still sitting beside him, and Fred was giving me worried glances from behind us. "Ill miss you like crazy Ronnie" George whispered into my ear. I just pulled away and pecked his cheek before going to sit on Fred's lap. When I sat down he pulled me into a passionate kiss that lasted only a few moments as we weren't alone. "When will you leave?" I asked them as I leaned my head against Fred's shoulder and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"As soon as possible...you need to promise me something though Ronnie" Fred said, and I turned to see him with a look full of worry and something I couldn't quite put my finger on. "Please stay close to everyone...if Flint tries anything, you tell someone! Don't be stubborn and keep it to yourself" Fred practically growled at me, making me jump as I had never heard his use that tone before, especially with me.

"Flint hasn't done anything in months, maybe your safe " George said leaning his head back against the couch and pinching the bridge of his nose. George was right, I haven't seen Flint in a while and didn't hear anything after that random rose and letter he sent me a couple months ago. Maybe Draco or Aimee said something to him making his back off. "If anythign happens, Ill tell Draco ok?" I said to them and kissed Fred's cheek. I knew they were both apprehensive about anything when it came to Draco, but he was my family and he wouldent do anything to hurt me. Blood takes care of their own, and Draco has told me several times he doesnt care that im a half blood he still loves me.

"Do that, please" Fred practically begged me. I just nodded and I could see the look in his eyes showed so many emotions, worry being the main one. I would miss him and George terribly when they left, but I knew graduation was a short way away and then I could see them all I wanted. "So my darling boys, what is the plan for your escape" I said rubbing my hands together as if plotting a master plan.

"No idea" Fred said chuckling and kissing my head. George nodded in agreement and stared into the fire deep in thought. "Well i have an idea, your Fred and George Weasley....you need to go out with a bang!" I said giving them a mischevious grin that was happily returned from the both of them....

The questions on my N.E.W.T exam were so incredibly easy I had wizzed past my exam in only twenty minutes. Roger Davies who was sitting next to me in the potions room looked at me like I had two heads and shook his head muttering 'smart ass". I chuckled quietly and slapped his arm playfully when Snape had his back turned. Roger and I had become pretty good friends, and I often helped him with our potions homework since he was utterly hopeless in the subject. My potions exam was my second exam for the year, defence against the darks arts being the first. It was a good thing I was graduating early, there was literally nothing the teachers tried to teach me that I didnt already know.  I mean half of my DADA exam was listing spells you might need in case a duel might happen, might being in bold letters.

"Miss. Tonks, as much as it pains me to say this...you are an incredible potioneer and I wish you all the best with everything" Snape said in his normal monotone sounding voice as I handed him my exam. "Thank you professor" I said giving him a small smile and leaving the potions classroom, but rushing up to the astronomy tower as Fred and george were supposed to be leaving soon.

The astronomy tower had such an amazing view of Hogwarts's grounds and I had watched the sunset quite a few times up here during the year. Fred and George were now probably interupting the fifth year O.W.L's that were being taken in the great hall. I had spent the past month helping the twins create some special fizzing whizzbangs that would chase toad face Umbridge right out of the school. I was pretty impressed with my abilities to help them with their products as I normally just sketched their ideas out on paper for them.

I heard a boom sound down in the lower levels of the school and numerous yells down in the courtyard below. I laughed as I saw a giant W fly across the sky and I could barely make out a blur of pink running around frantically. And soon two identically excited red heads appeared before me on brooms. They both landed and practically ran over to me, George reaching me first...leaving a slightyl annoyed Fred behind him.

George tackled me into a hug and kissed the side of my head "Ill Owl you soon babe" George said, and i was pretty confused since he had never called me babe before. I just smiled at him as we pulled out of the hug, and I was then enveloped in my boyfriends arms. "im gonna miss you" I whispered in his ear and gently kissed his neck. "Ronnie I need to tell you something...and I cant leave without you knowing" Fred told me and rested his forehead against mine. I kissed him softly on the cheek before looking into his soft brown eyes.

"I love you Ronnie...and don't say anything back. You just need to know where I stand right now....I have to go, but I wont say goodbye...Ill see you later" And he kissed my cheek before flying into the Scottish skies with his brother. My face showed nothing less but confusion...Why had George call me a name that was normally reserved for his brother..Why hadn't Fred wanted to know how I felt....And why the hell didn't he kiss me like there was no tomorrow! I would have wanted a kiss to last me until the next time we saw each other, Not some peck on the cheek that would have left no impression at all. I loved Fred I wanted to tell him! I wanted to throw my arms around him and kiss him with everything I had, But i didn't get that chance...

"Well it looks like your body guards are finally gone" I heard a menacing voice say behind me. I turned around and gasped as the one person I had tried to avoid all year stood before me, and with every step he took closer I felt my breath grow ragged. "I have been waiting for this moment all year..." He said and was inches from my body that was backed against the wall. I had no form of protection from him right now, as Umbridge had confiscated my wand this morning like she had done every morning for the past month. She said no students needed them as nothing was going to harm them inside the walls. She would give them back to us at dinner, But i desperately needed it now...

Marucs Flint was standing before me with a mixed look of hate and longing and I knew in this moment I was terrified, alone and sadly for me....I knew exactly what he wanted.
