IT was now past curfew Fred was sitting in the common room waiting for Liora. While Liora was in her room nervously pacing as her roommates slept. She was worried Fred wouldn't be there when she got down. She could practically hear the Gray's voices in her head saying no one would ever love her. She can hear them telling her that he hated her for the pranks and she was scared to face him alone. It was easy for him to just pretend he was ok with it earlier because they were in a group but now he could just hate her.

"Liora just go. Everything will be fine I promise" Eloise said from her bunk she was watching her best friend pacing and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"But-" Liora started

"No but's go." Eloise pointed to the dorm door sternly Liora grabbed her book nodded and walked out.

Liora made it down to the common room and spotted Fred on the couch with a blanket over his shoulders staring into the burning fireplace. She smiled and decided she wanted to joke with him just once.

She transformed herself to look like Mcgonagall and put her want to her throat to use an imitation spell to imitate Mcgonagalls voice. She placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Mr. Weasley what are you doing up at this late hour" Liora said in Mcgonagalls voice Fred jumped and turned his eyes grew wide seeing Mcgonagalls face

"Professor I-" Fred was cut off by Liora's laughter she quickly morphed back into herself

"You should have seen your face" Liora laughed clutching her stomach.

Fred scowled which soon turned into a smile hearing the girl laugh. "Very funny" he said rolling his eyes when Liora's laughter finally came to a stop. she sat down beside him and nudged his shoulder as she sat back into the couch. Fred sat back next to her and leaned his head on her shoulder.

"You don't hate me right?" Liora Whispered after a while of them both sitting in silence

"Course not how could I ever" Fred said looking up at her with a frown propping his chin on her shoulder looking at her

"I lied to you fred" Liora said looking away from him

"Don't call me that. I hate when you call me fred" He grabbed her chin pulling her face to look at him "I don't hate you. I'm not mad at you. I don't think you lied to me as much as you think you did. So please don't start calling me Fred and stop trying to distance yourself because it's not going to work. Okay?"

Liora's eyes flickered to his lips and back to his eyes. She tried to pull her face to turn but he only tightened his grip. He stared into her eyes not wanting to look away. "Okay?" He repeated himself

"Okay" said Liora in a low voice. They stared at each other for a moment before Fred pulled away and cleared his throat.

"So are you going to read to me darling? You don't have to of course" Fred asked liora nodded

"Yes but we can't fall asleep here again. Mcgonagall can come and get us in trouble we got lucky I got up before her morning rounds" Liora said Fred pouted

"That means we would have to cut our reading short Tonight." Liora laughed at his reply

"Fine we can set a silent alarm for before her morning rounds so we won't get caught if you want?" Fred nodded

"Yes please" Fred said Liora laughed and scooted over so Fred can lay down and she can start to sit and read

Fred Frowned "get up" he told Liora she stood up confused "now lay down" Fred said pointing to the couch

"What? Why?" Liora said Fred rolled his eyes and crossed his arms

"Must you question everything? Can't you just listen to me once" Fred said just wanting to lay down already
