Hot Chocolate - Fred Weasley

First Quidditch Match

When she returned to her dorm, she was berated with hugs and questions to ensure her safety and health. Allison had made Adelaide some chamomile tea the muggle way since it was the only way she knew how to relieve her throat of any discomfort. She was grateful for her roommates and rested for that weekend before she had to attend class the upcoming Monday

The next weekend, the girls all stayed in Gryffindor Tower for most of the day, only stepping out for meals. They enjoyed these little moments they had together where they could truly be eleven-year-olds. Aria was braiding Alicia's hair while Angelina and Adelaide were laying on their stomachs, sharing a magazine with them. Allison returned and sat on the rounded red armchair across the two beds that the other girls were on.

"So Adelaide, what's up with you and Fred?" Allison spoke up with a delighted grin.

Adelaide looked up from the magazine confused. What was Allison talking about?

"Yeah. What IS up with the two of you?" Aria said in a slightly instigating tone.

"What do you mean? We're just friends." Adelaide stated.

"Oh, come on! She's joking right?" Allison looked at her other roommates to make sure she wasn't crazy.

"It's okay Lai. We kind of all had an idea anyway." Alicia said while pulling the braid Aria just finished forward.

"I'm not lying. We are just friends." Adelaide looked at Angelina "Does it seem like something's going on? Why?"

Angelina rolled onto her side, now facing Adelaide, Aria, and Alicia. "I mean... Just a little bit, but not in a bad way."

"How though?" Adelaide didn't understand why that was the impression others were given, she didn't treat him any differently than any of Adelaide's other friends.

"Adelaide, he's always around you. When Cedric's around you, Fred looks a little annoyed. You always talk to Fred and tell him things, even before you tell Angelina. It just seems like you guys like each other." Allison said while the three other roommates nodded their heads in sync.

"But we're just friends. I treat everyone like that." Adelaide shot out quickly, almost like she was rejecting the mere idea of being anything more than friends than Fred. Or maybe, she didn't want to have any hope?

Aria and Alicia shared a glance between one another and shrugged. Allison sighed and Angelina giggled. They all felt like Adelaide was oblivious to her feelings, but each one of those girls felt the connection between Fred and Adelaide. They all just had to wait until they figured it out themselves.

It was past lunch when the group decided to get ready. Today was the first quidditch game of the season and it was their house versus their rival house, Slytherin. The girls had vinyl spinning playing some of their favorite Weird Sister tracks. Allison brought out her muggle hair tools and makeup, something that Angelina and Alicia had never seen. Aria was a half-blood just like Adelaide, but her mother was a muggle so she knew how to use the curling iron and straightener. Adelaide knew what they did, but had no clue how to use them since her dad never sat there and curled his hair.

Allison curled her and Adelaide's hair, while Aria straightened Alicia's. Angelina didn't want to straighten or curl her hair so she instead put her hair in a high bun. They all did light makeup, and small things like mascara or red lipstick to show their support. Adelaide, Angelina, and Alicia drew the number two on their cheek to support Charlie Weasley, the seeker. When they were all ready, they ran the stairs shouting and laughing, gaining attention from those in the commons. George, Fred, Lee, and their roommate Jacob Taylor were standing in the commons waiting for the girls to join them down to the pitch.
