12 - Fine

"Dating" Fred was fun. REALLY fun. He knew where all sorts of secret passages and cool places in Hogwarts were. Our favorite was the room of requirement.

And before anyone says anything, NO! WE DO NOT HAVE SEX IN THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT!! FRED AND I DO NOT HAVE SEX!!!

Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Rumors fly, yknow?

But there were lots of other perks to "dating" Fred. One of my favorites?

I was in on ALL the pranks.

I was in on them too before, but now it was different. Fred told me EVERYTHING. Things that Angelina didn't get to know!

I smirk to myself when I think of that.

A few weeks went by, and I realized that I didn't really like George as much as I thought I did.

And no, it wasn't because I was falling for Fred.

Because I wasn't.

At all.

I mean it.

I'm not sure why I kept the charade up. Maybe just to try and help Fred?

Harry, though, was still pissed at me. He made it very clear one night when I was working in an empty classroom.

I had the place to myself, and of course was full of gunpowder. Making fireworks was no joke!

Suddenly, the door busted open.

"What are you doing in here?" Harry asked, quite rudely, may I add.

"Working," I sneered. Harry was the last person I wanted to talk to.

"You need to come back to the common room," He told me, "People are asking what's in the egg."

Right. The stupid dragon egg. From the stupid Triwizard Tournament. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

That's what this place was. Stupid. I couldn't wait to go home.

As it turns out, getting past the dragon was easy. Instead of doing some magic trick or harming the dragon, I befriended it. Now I know it sounds bizarre, trust me, I thought that too, but I have a "gift" with magical creatures or something.

"Shove off," I told my brother.

"You shove off!" He fired back

"I was here first!" I retorted

"No, you weren't. And when I say 'shove off', I mean go away. Go home, Hensley. You've just caused problems since coming to school here!"

I couldn't believe my ears. Harry, my best friend, was telling me to leave?

I stood there silently for what seemed like an eternity.

"Fine," I said lowly, "I'll go, and you won't have to hear from me again."

He must have realized he fucked up after I shoved past him to the girls' dorm. Unfortunately for him, it was too late. I was going home.

Coincidentally enough, Jenny's owl was waiting for me with a letter from her. Not even bothering to read it, I wrote to her and Adam requesting for them to book me a flight home as soon as possible.

Moments later, a knock came from the door. I promptly ignored it. The other girls just walked in when they needed to come in here, so I knew it was a guy, and I wasn't too keen on talking to anybody at the moment.

Unfortunately, ignoring the door was no use, because after 20 minutes of knocking, this door busted open too. Only this time, instead of it being my brother, it was George.

"Go away, Georgie," I grumbled, not facing him.

"How'd you know it was me?" He asked

"There's a mirror right there. I can see you," I nodded to the full-length mirror a few feet away.

"Right, well, you're not leaving. Your brothers a prat and I'm not letting you leave," He said

"My mind's been made up," I told him, "I already wrote to Adam and Jenny. I'm going home."

"But this is your home," He said quietly.

"No, George, my home is in California. Clearly that's where I belong. I need to go back to my people...where I'm wanted."

"But the tournament, and the Yule Ball!"

"They'll be just fine without me. I'm sorry. I really am. I'll write to you," I said with a sad smile.

But the truth was, I didn't want to smile. I wanted to do the opposite. I wanted to scream and cry and I just wanted my brother to love me.

I didn't understand; what problems had I caused? I was just trying to go to school. I was just trying to be a person too.

A/N: i'm so sorry for portraying harry as an asshole😭 i just love the drama
