Playing it safe [ Fred Weasley x reader ]

<< Chapter 9 >>

--Edited--

Fred's POV:

"How is Harry a champion?"

"How did he get his name in the Goblet??"

"I bet he cheated!"

"It's not fair!!"

I hear everyone complaining and yelling but I'm not paying attention. I'm just trying to find Y/n. She just disappeared! She's been acting really weird lately. I hope it's not because of that prank we set up on the third floor. We didn't know she was going to walk into it!  I start heading out of the hall to find y/n. I hear George calling after Me but I ignore him.

Where would y/n hide?

And then I remember: second year , 5th floor , deserted staircase. She hid there after she got a bad grade on a paper for Potions. She was so scared of Proffesor Snape that year that she thought he  was going to be furious and hunt her down. I head upstairs and after a while I find the spot. I approach the little nook under the stairs and see her sitting, looking at the ground. Her H/C locks fall into her face as her E/C eyes concentrate on the stone. She looks to be in deep thought. Well, I can inturrupt that.

I sit down next to her, and in the process, bump my head on the stone stairs above me.

"Are you okay!?" She asks me with concern in her voice. "I think I should be asking you that question." I reply. "What's wrong?" She looks down. "I just- I'm scared." She says. There's something a little off in her tone. "Y/n   l/n? Scared? Since when!?" I ask in a teasing voice.

"I guess I'm - just not ready. Next year is our last year, I don't even know what I want to do!" She says. I know her better then that. Excuses excuses. So I question her. "I thought you wanted to be a Magizooligist? You have since you were 11." Cold hard facts.
She just shrugs. "Things are different now." She mumbles.

"Y/n, look at me." I say. I stare into her beautiful e/c eyes. No way am I letting her be upset over something this small. She doesn't deserve it. Even if she is hiding something, I can tell this is also effecting her.

"You are the most amazing witch I've ever met. You could do anything you set your mind to. Heck, you could even fight a dragon! All you need is confidence and I know you have it in you. Don't be scared, you'll be okay. And I'm here for you If you need me. But I doubt you will"

We just stare at each other.
"Thank you." She whispers. I give her my famous smirk, and then I decide, why not now? Sometimes, you got to make stupid decisions. And I make a whole lot of them. Like this one.. I lean in and kiss her.

Y/N POV:

A hundred things raced through my mind as Fred suddenly closed the gap between us. Actually more like a million. I close my eyes and returned the kiss. It was like a dream. Was I dreaming?He pulls away and turns around  so I am sitting with my back facing against the wall, Him towering over me. Thats when he leans back in. He kisses me deeply pushing my back into the cold stone. I refrain fromn letting any noises slip out as his hands slip down to my waist. We stay like this for a while. Just the two of us, sharing Stolen, passionate kisses. With both of us finally out of breath, he pulls away. I wish he didn't.

He stares deep into my eyes, it's like my eyes can feel his on my own.

"Finally" He says plainly, breathing hard. And then he smirks and says, "I've wanted to do that for a long time." I feel my face heat up. What is this boy doing to me? And before I can answer that question he flips us around , me now on his lap straddling him.

I don't know when we started kissing again, but I find that we are. I can't believe that me, y/n l/n and him, Fred Weasley are making out. My heart is soaring and I feel invincible. The boy bites my lip and as I gasp at the gesture he slips his tounge into my mouth. Although my mind is focused on this moment I can help but hear the loud footsteps approaching.

I quickly pull away and drag me and Fred out from under the exposed stairs and around the corner. I open the nearest door and shut us both inside. Waiting for the footsteps to pass. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.

I hear a chuckle from besides me and look up at the tall ginger. A smirk is playing on his lips that mine were just on a few seconds ago as he looks around the small broom cupboard. There is barley enough room for the both of us and our chests are pressed against each others.

"Wanted to be closer I see?"

"Shh! Be quiet! Someone might pass again!" 

It wouldn't be the first dentention I've gotten but it would be quite humiliating if the reason was being found making out on school grounds..

I shiver as he places a hand on my waist. "Where were we?" And then we are kissing...again. The reason I could not say why. Why is Fred , one of the most popular students, snogging Me? I don't know. But I don't mind. But then I remember. I'm sick. I can't do that to him. He can't know, no one can. But especially not him. I suddenly feel nauseous, and I know better than to think it's because of how close we are. "Fred" I say in-between kisses. "Hmm?" He moves his lips down my jawline and to my neck. "Fred..." He ignores my pleads, knowing what he is doing to me.

I feel like crying. I want this. I want to keep snogging him. I really do. But I can't.

"FRED!"

I didn't mean to yell. But it sure got him to stop. He looked at me with wide eyes. What will he think of me now? Tears prick at the corners of my eyes "Goodnight Fred." And with that I rush out of the small room.

I feel sick. I leave my best friend standing there, inside the broom cupboard, wondering what he could've possibly done wrong. I'm a horrible person. I quickly walk  towards the closest bathroom.

I go through my daily; "Stupid cancer I hate you!" Routine and then I remember,  I didn't take my treatments.

I stumble to the hospital wing, trip over my robe 2 times and almost throw up in a empty corridor before I  get there. The whole time all I can think of is what just happened between me and  him..

I look at my Wizard watch and see that it's 9:42 , so I have just enough time to get my treatments done before curfew. "Y/n, you're late." Madame Pomfry says curtly. "I know I'm sorry." I say as she hooks me up.
"Don't feel sorry for me, you're the one who has to face the consequences." I sigh. I decide not to tell her about the blood from yesterday that I nearly forgot about and run off in the direction of the common room.

It felt as if the life I knew was crumbling down around me.I ruined everything today. Everything.
