To The Moon And Back

Chapter 7

"Fucking hell, you look like death." Bea gasped as I sat down at the table instantly going for the coffee in front of me.

"Thanks for stating the obvious, jeez." I grumbled.

"What's up with you? Is it the nargles again? And Merlin, slow down on the coffee!" She exclaimed while taking it out of my grip.

I looked around to see if anyone was listening or looking at us. I had no idea where Draco was although he was probably somewhere fucking the sadness out of Pansy.

"Okay. I need to tell you something."

"You didn't murder or curse anyone did you?"

"No! You know how I was working yesterday right? The Weasley's came and left really late and when George was in the toilet Fred started being his usual self until he....he kissed me Bea!" I whispered, covering my face with my hands to avoid embarrassment.

Her mouth was open for a good 2 minutes until she finally broke the silence, "That's even worse oh my!"

I nodded my head and groaned while rubbing my temples. "Trust me, I've been up all night just thinking about what could've possessed him to do it. I thought of every theory there is! I even considered someone using Polyjuice Potion to prank me for fuck sake!"

She glanced over to the Gryffindor table and leaned in closer to me, "Could that be why he is staring at you right this moment?" she smirked.

I didn't want to make it too obvious that we were talking about him so slowly but surely I turned my head to meet his eyes staring directly back at mine. He looked at my lips then back at my eyes. He subtly moved his head and pointing to the door. I couldn't tell if this was an indication for me to go out there too. However, I saw him say something to George and get up, leaving one last glance at me and nodding his head again. Fuck it, i thought. I told Bea I was going to the toilets and she told me she was going to see Luna anyways.

I walked out after Fred but to my surprise he was nowhere to be seen. I raised an eyebrow and decided to just make my way back to the Great Hall. I wasn't in the mood to get embarrassed right now.

I turned around the corner but felt something drag me into an empty storage room. That something was Fred Weasley.

"What do you want, Weasley. And why are we in a room full of spiders?" I raised my brow and tapped my foot impatiently.

"I just wanted to let you know that last night was a mistake." He said, with his hand still on my arm.

"No shit? Why would I ever think about kissing you like that ever again?"

"Good. Because it's not going to happen." He said, pulling me into him closer so that I was practically leaning against him.

I maintained the intense eye contact, "Never." I took my gaze lower to his lip then back up to his eyes.
How does it feel now you insufferable bitch?

And then it happened again.

He pulled me in closer, deepening the kiss and ran his hands over my arms then placed a hand on my chin. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer if it was even possible. My hands found their way to his hair as I slowly pulled on it, earning a groan from him as his hands cupped my ass. I pulled away and put my hand on his chest.

"What are we doing, Weasley?"

"Making out. What else do you call this?" he smirked.

"No. I meant what are WE doing?" I crossed my hands over my chest.

"WE are making out. I thought you were somewhat smart, Rivers." He smirked

I glared at him. "I don't have time for this."

"Okay, okay, wait. Come back." He grabbed my wrist again, preventing me from going out the door.

"I don't know what this is, Rivers. All I know is that I can't stop thinking about you. Every day and every night it's like you've cursed me or fed me some shit that has an attraction spell to it."

"Okay, I don't stoop that low, Weasley. What makes you think I would want to make you attracted to me?" I scoffed.

"I've seen the way you look at me, Rivers. There's no denying you're into me." He growled.

"Well i'm not. Sorry to give you the wrong impression I actually find you insufferable." I reached for the door and began to walk out.

"We'll see about that." He winked.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. Whatever.

————————————-

"Sage! You coming tonight?" Ron asked, with his mouth full.

Occasionally, I like to sit with the trio during dinner when Bea is too busy with Luna discussing the latest updates on their family magazine. Even though I'm a Slytherin, they all treat me as if i'm their own.

"Yeah, sure. I don't have anything better to do anyways." I smiled.

"I can't believe you guys are throwing a party again!" Hermione sighed.

"Come on, Hermione. It'll be fun you need to loosen up a bit." I chuckled, putting my arm around her. She blushed and agreed wrapping her arms around me too.

I glanced over to where the twins were sat and saw Fred staring at me. Only this time, his jaw wasn't clenched and he was more relaxed. Weird.

"Help me choose what to wear, I hate this so much!" I whined.

"Since when did you care about your looks this much to a Gryffindor party, Sage?" Bea raised her eyebrows but soon the realisation hit her. "Oh. It's because a certain somebody is going to be there isn't it?" She smirked, winking.

"Who?" I heard Pansy interrupt.

"No one. I don't know what she's talking about." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, right. Here wear this. You'll look really pretty." She tossed over a slim fitted dress which ended just about my knees. Hmm, slutty. I like it.

"I wish you were coming with us. Why cant you?" I asked.

"I told you! I have plans with the people in my own house. This is a rare occasion, you know. Most of the time they call me crazy!" She pouted.

"Okay, fine! But if any of them give you any trouble, let me know! I won't stay there and i'll come right over and hex them all." I said.

Pansy started whining and complaining about how she just wanted to go already so I gave in and got out of the dorm as fast as I could to avoid her complaints even further.

I walked down to the common room and heard Draco and Blaise whistling. I rolled my eyes and linked arms with Pansy. I whispered in her ear, "Walk right past him. Ignore him. He likes it, trust me."

And that's what she did. We walked past Draco without having Pansy utter a single word and I quickly looked to see his eyebrows furrowed. I smirked at him and i'm pretty sure he knew this was my doing. We got out of the common room quickly and broke into laughter over his reaction.
