tension. (fred weasley fanfic)

twenty five

"NOVA, WATCH OUT!" ron cried out, but it was too late.

her head turned quickly, the bludger hitting her right in the face, knocking her off her feet as she fell unconscious. "oh my god, oh my god!" ginny shouted worriedly, rushing to her side with everyone else as they looked at her broken face.

her nose was facing a completely different way, small and large cuts displaying all over her face as blood splattered all over, gushing from her nose. 

"fuck! nova, wake up." fred said worriedly, holding her body as he assessed her wounds. "shit, i am so sorry.." ron said, frozen in his place. he didn't know what to say or do, he'd just caused his best friend to pass out and have a completely damaged face.

"mum's gonna be back soon, we can't let her see nova like this or she'll go mad." ginny rambled. "is that your fucking concern right now? nova's bloody unconscious!" fred shouted, still attempting to wake the damaged girl lying in his arms as hermione whispered something about knowing healing charms, scrambling to grab her wand from upstairs.

suddenly, nova's eyes shot open to the sound of worried voices, her eyes looking at her surroundings. "nova! oh thank god." george said, relief washing over them as they saw her wake slowly.

she let a cry out as she felt a sudden pain all over her face, fred soothing her. "i cannot believe you've fucking done this ron." fred snapped, as nova's eyes looked at fred, who was seething with rage as he smoothed her hair comfortingly.

"okay i'm back." hermione said, placing herself next to nova. "im being healed by nurse granger, im so grateful." nova laughed, soon regretting it as she hissed with the pain she caused. hermione worriedly chewed at her lip, positioning the cold tip of her wand against nova's flushed cheeks when they heard another thump from the living room.

fuck, mrs weasley.

"kids! where are you all and why is the house so quiet?" she asked from inside, panic rising through the six as the still broken girl lay in the ginger boy's arms, who was muttering something to his twin. "seriously will you lot come downstairs?!" mrs weasley shouted, growing impatient as she flew the back door open, revealing the situation as the blood abandoned the woman's face.

"what happened to nova?!" she shouted, panic coursing through her veins as she sat next to the brunette, who's face was pouring scarlet red. "ask ron, he's the reason for all this." fred spoke, giving his poor brother a ghastly look. "i don't have time for these stupid arguments, we need to heal this poor girl!" she exclaimed, pulling out her wand as nova grabbed fred's hand in an instant.

"this will hurt dear, but i promise you'll be all fixed in a couple minutes." molly spoke softly, caressing nova's cheek softly who merely nodded, too sore to even bother replying. mrs weasley pressed the tip of her wand against her cheek, muttering a spell which slowly made her nose move back into place, causing her to let out a loud squeak as she squeezed fred's hand.

"i know sweetheart, just a few more and we're done." molly cooed, continuing the spells to get nova's face fixed as soon as possible. 

soon enough, nova's nose was back in place and the bleeding had stopped, but she still had several small cuts which would heal in a couple of days, bruises still spreading across her cheeks but they would heal eventually.

"thank you mrs weasley." nova spoke, thanking her for her help as the woman waved her off. "don't be silly, now hermione dear would you run a bath for nova?" she asked, as the bushy haired girl agreed and rose to her feet, as did nova yet she nearly toppled over yet again, which caused fred to luckily catch her.

"i'll just carry you up, shall i?" he laughed, his worry somewhat slipping away as he saw her face now fixed. "oh shut up idiot." nova smiled lightly, as he softly carried her up to the bathroom where hermione was situated, pouring the steamy bath for nova as hermione thanked him before he slipped out of the bathroom and back downstairs to where he met his mother shouting at ron.

"ronald weasley! you'd better apologise to that girl the second she's feeling better and ready to talk!" mrs weasley scolded, swatting him in the back of the head with her newspaper. "mum im really sorry, it was an accident." ron exclaimed, sighing. "enough! all of you out of my sight, i don't want to see you all until dinner, out!" she shouted, ushering everyone out of the room and up the stairs as she kept that stern look on her face, tutting.

nova

after my bath my muscles were relaxed and i finally got some sort of balance on my feet, but i still needed help getting changed which hermione thankfully gave me a hand with, slipping into one of my camisoles with a pair of plaid pyjama bottoms. 

feeling exhausted from today's events, i trudged back to ginny's bedroom where the girls were situated and lay down on the makeshift mattress. "how are you feeling now nova?" hermione asked, as i picked up an old copy of pride and prejudice.

"im alright honestly, stop being so dramatic." i replied, laughing as the two girls face's softened. "well i think ron wants to talk to you." ginny said, peering up from her witches weekly magazine as i let out a loud dramatic sigh, slipping from my comfortable position as i practically dragged my tired legs down the long sets of stairs, being met with the two twins who were situated on the sofa and ron sitting with a sad looking face at the kitchen table.

"hey ronniekins, why the long face?" i grinned, walking towards him as his head shot over. "jesus nova, how are you feeling?" he asked, as i laughed, quite shocked at his worry for me, as if ron didn't laugh at me all those years where i fell on my arse.

"okay okay, im so sorry and you know i'd never do anything like that on purpose, do you forgive my apology..?" the ginger before me asked, as i pulled at his cheeks. "of course i forgive you ron, don't be silly." i winked, as he rolled his eyes but sighed in relief.

"well, let's get some food into that belly of yours." ron joked, as i threw a bread roll at his face, mrs weasley slipping in from the kitchen as she inspected my wounds, smiling contently as she left the room yet again, ron and me sitting at the table as he continuously tried to push me off my chair. "ron, piss off!" i said sternly, laughing as he stuck out his tongue childishly.

"would you two settle down? we could hear you from upstairs." hermione scolded, walking into the living room as the ginger boy next to me quickly quieted down with his playful acts, seeming embarassed as hermione smiled in content, placing herself in the chair next to harry as i looked at ron with a cheeky smirk, causing him to laugh as hermione rolled her eyes.

i glanced over at fred and george who were watching amusedly, whispering things to eachother as fred caught nova's eye, winking cheekily to her as she shook her head, laughing as she looked away, listening to her best friend's conversation.
