Darling, I Love You • FRED WEASLEY

9

We were all standing in the classroom a wardrobe rattling frantically in front of us. A weird noise could be heard from the inside. Professor Lupin stood in front of it and looked at all of us with a smile.

"Does anybody have an idea what is inside this wardrobe?" he asked, as he lightly tapped the furniture with his wand.

A Ravenclaw raised his hand and the professor nodded to him.

"A boggart, sir." Terrence Higgs spoke.

"That is correct, 5 points to Ravenclaw," Professor said and walked to the other side of it.

"Now, what is a boggart?"

A fair few raised their hands including me, he nodded his head at me and I answered, "a boggart takes the form of our biggest fear."

"Correct, 5 points to Gryffindor."

I quickly thought of what was going to appear once my turn came. I kind of hoped we run out of time but the other part wanted to know what it was.

"If you could please form a line right here." Professor said pointing his hand at a big 'X' on the floor. "Repeat after me, Riddikulus."

We repeated the enchantment and taught the wand movements when I felt a hand on my arm. I turned to see that it was the Slytherin captain, Miles Bletchley. He arched an eyebrow at me and a smirk formed on his face when he saw me crunch my eyebrows.

"Do you need something from me, Bletchley?" I asked him harshly. Still feeling his fingers on me, I shook off my arm so he'd get a hint.

"Not really, no," he replied, putting his hands in his pockets. He was still looking at me, making me uncomfortable.

What is up with these Slytherins? Seriously.

"Then I'd appreciate it if you don't put your hands on me," I said and rolled my eyes.

He crossed his arms and puffed his chest a bit making his shirt tighter. What the fuck is this toe-rag doing?

"No need to play hard to get, Macmillan." his eyes raked my body and he bit his lips as his eyes got to my chest.

I huffed and briskly turned away from him, catching Fred's eyes. He arched his eyebrows as he looked at Bletchley. George was talking to him but it seems as though wasn't paying attention to a word his twin is saying. He then dragged George and Lee to where I was and stood in front of Bletchley, blocking me from his view. He then put an arm around me while he stared Bletchley down.

I felt the butterflies in my tummy going wild, I bit my lip to stop myself from squealing. Recently, Fred has been talking to me a bit more, he has been putting his arm around me to make me adore him even more than before. I looked up at him and saw that he was having a glaring contest with Bletchley, George, and Lee now joining in. I gently put my hand around the arm that was around me and caressed it. I slowly shook my head at him and nodded my head to the front of the class. He smiled at me and sent a look to his brother and best friend and patiently waited for our turn.

"Weasley?" Professor asked, "who would like to go first?"

"We'd like together Professor," they said enthusiastically. They playfully pushed each other around as they walked up front and readied their wands. As they stood up front the boggart immediately shifted to their family, dead.

One by one it turned into the people they loved, covered in blood but what made them froze is when the form turned into themselves but this time they were the ones who were covered in blood. They shook their head and shakily did the enchantment and the boggart turned into a wonderful firework display. They let out a breath and high-fived each other before turning back to the side but not before giving me a thumbs up.
