•Part three

After quite a long journey to Hogwarts, you finally made it there and got off of the train with your friends.

When you got off, you saw Fred Weasley with his twin brother George Weasley. Savannah wasn't that far away and was talking to one of her friends, whispering in her ear and her friend looked really happy for her.

Almost too happy.

That's when you saw it. You saw Savannah lock eyes with Dominic, she smiled and started to twirl her hair around her index finger and gave him a little wink along with a smirk.

Something was definitely wrong.

Savannah and Dominic hardly knew each other, you had never seen them talk or really look in each other's direction. They were still staring at each other, not even trying to hide it but only you saw, not Fred.

You rolled your eyes and walked off. You felt mad and upset, but most of all you felt kind of betrayed because he was staring at the prettiest girl in school.

Not at his own girlfriend.

You spent the rest of the day unpacking in your dorm that you shared with some girls. Ever since you got Gryffindor in first year, you had been in the same dorm with the same girls.

It was alright though because all of them were nice but just weren't in many of your classes so you couldn't talk to them that much. Plus each of them girls has their own friends and we're quite popular.

They weren't in the dorm, they must have been with their friends because you were all alone just laying on your bed and staring at the ceiling.

Then you got a knock at the door.

"It's Dominic, can I come in?" The voice asked from behind the door and you sighed.

You didn't want to see him at all, but you couldn't say no.

"It's open." You said and he opened the door, walking in and shutting it behind him.

"Hey. You rushed off earlier, I thought you'd be in the hall but you weren't." He said and laid down on your bed next to you.

"I rushed off earlier because you were basically eye fucking Gilbert." You said and he chocked on air.

"What?" He questioned and his eyes went wide. "The fuck do you mean I was eye fucking Savannah?"

"You know exactly what I mean. You two were just staring at each other when we got off the train, I had to stand there and watch my own boyfriend practically melt at her perfect hair twirling around her fucking fingers." You exclaimed, moving away from him on the bed.

"You're getting too mad about this. She's just a friend." Dominic chuckled at your reaction.

"Whatever you say." You stood up and grabbed your bag.

"Where are you going now?" He groaned.

"Anywhere else, your pissing me off right now, Dominic." You said.

You didn't stay to hear anything else he said, you just left your dorm and slammed the door being you. He better be gone when you get back.

You walked down to the kitchens, it's where you would go whenever you needed to calm yourself down or just to relax in sixth year. You made it there, tickled the pear and walked inside. There weren't any elves this time, they must have been busy somewhere else for some reason.

There was a person though. You could hear them inhaling something, you couldn't see who it exactly was though.

You coughed to get their attention.

"Ah shit, sorry I didn't know anyone would come in here." The person stood up from sitting on the floor and leant on the wall.

Fred Weasley.

He had a joint in his left hand and was leaning on a wall with his right arm. His hair was messy and wet, he was wearing a pair of grey jogging bottoms and a white shirt.

"I think I've seen you around. I'm Fred." He held his unoccupied hand out for you to shake it, which you did.

"I'm Emily." You told him.

"Oh right, you're Jamie's sister, aren't you?" He asked and grabbed a small stall to sit on.

"Yeah that's me. How do you know Jamie?" You asked and sat down on a stall kind of close to him but not too close.

"My brothers friend." He replied. "What brings you into these fine kitchens today, Emily?"

"My boyfriend. He's being a dick right now and I think there's something going on with him and S-" You were going to finish your sentence but decided not to.

Fred wouldn't believe someone he just met that his girlfriend is cheating on him. There would be no point in telling him, plus you only had proof of her and Chris not her and Dominic.

"You're dating Steele, aren't you?" Fred asked.

"Yeah, Dominic. Since the beginning of sixth year, it's our one year on the fourth." You told him. "How long have you and Savannah been together?"

"The end of fourth year." He said. "We've been having some problems lately as well."

"Really? You two seem like the perfect couple who have no flaw's whatsoever." You laughed and so did he.

"Nope. That's the complete opposite of us." He admitted. "You in need of a drink or a joint?"

"Neither, I'm not a smoker or a drinker." You told him and he nodded, starting to roll a joint for himself.

"How do you even cope?" He laughed.

"Oh trust me, you wouldn't want to know." You said and started to fiddle with the promise ring Dominic gave you a while back.

"Alright, suit yourself." He said and lit up his joint.

You two kept on talking for a while, forgetting about the problems there might have been. It was comforting in a way, someone you hardly know spending time with you when you were sad. It also shocked you a bit though.

Fred was the most popular guy in school and he didn't care about anyone walking in and seeing you and him together. Him and you, a loner.

That's when you remembered, he was stoned.
