Darling, I Love You • FRED WEASLEY

4

King's Cross station was packed with people as always, everyone rushing around so they wouldn't miss their train. I pushed her cart through the station and loaded my things onto the train as Tori and Angelina went to greet some of their friends. I walked back to the Weasleys and patiently waited for them to finish their goodbyes.

"You two better behave yourselves!" Mrs. Weasley said with a pointed look giving the twins a kiss on the cheek.

"I better not get any letters indicating that you've exploded a toilet!"

"Great idea, mum-" Fred marveled.

"Thanks for the suggestion!" George finishes. Their eyes twinkled with mischief.

They snickered and sped off pulling me along. I waved goodbye to Mrs. Weasley and scampered off looking for a compartment.

Once we found an empty compartment the train let out the final chime of the bell indicating that the Hogwarts Express was now leaving. Fred opened one of the windows and popped his head out.

"Don't worry, mum! I'll send you a toilet when we get there!" Fred laughed.

I hung her head low and shook my head. Mrs. Weasley's eyes widen and were about to retort when Fred pulled the window shut, plopping down beside me.

I pulled out my new sketchbook and pencil that Tori has gifted me and tried to sketch the black, shaggy dog I saw on the platform before leaving.

"We hid Percy's Head Boy badge," Fred smugly said.

"He was losing his shit this morning," George snickered.

I laughed as the twins imitated Percy's face and made dramatic hand gestures. The compartment door opened and we looked over to see who has interrupted our laughing spree and were greeted by a cheeky boy with dreadlocks.

"Lee!" I exclaimed, dashing over to give him a hug.

"Didn't think you'd miss me this much, Macmillan," Lee teased, rocking our bodies a bit before letting go. I dragged him over to sit beside me as he went about in his bag pulling out a muggle board game.

I met Lee when we were on the train to Hogwarts in our first year and we instantly clicked especially since he's got a knack for muggle items. Since I'm a born pureblood I didn't know much about the muggle world but it has fascinated me.

"This is Monopoly," Lee excitedly said.

Fred lifted one of the game pieces and inspected it. Moving it around his palm. Lee explained the game to us and I have got to admit that this was a lot more fun than exploding snap or maybe it was because Fred and George were playing...

"I WAS GONNA BUY THAT PROPERTY!" Fred marveled.

"Tough luck, Freddie," George said in a sing-song voice and stuck his tongue out.

Fred groaned dramatically, he looked heavenward and refused to roll the dice when it was his turn. His petty reason was that George got the property he wanted. 

"Fred, just roll the damn dice," Lee uttered.

Fred gave him a fake smile and threw the board game out the window. I let out a breathed laugh and turned to Lee with an unexplainable expression. George covered his eyes with his hand and tried to stop himself from laughing out loud, afraid of what Lee might do.

"You're pathetic," Lee said with a forced laugh. George couldn't hold it in anymore and let out a loud laugh making the rest of us join in. 

The compartment door opened as Angelina and Tori got inside. Angelina sat beside George and Tori followed, waving to Katie Bell and Alicia Spinnet. Katie blushed as she caught sight of Fred and giggled with Alicia and went on their way.
