I looked down to see whose hand was holding mine. It was Fred's. I slightly smiled and squeezed his hand. He squeezed it back, I blushed lightly and smiled brighter. At this point there was butterflies in my stomach. He rubbed my hand lightly while talking to Lee and George. "You guys are so annoying, stop fighting over either if it was him or not." George replied, "WELL, it was obviously him, he had the scar! I saw it." Fred let go of my hand as the compartment doors opened. It was a first year, she had brown fluffy hair. "Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville's lost one." I spoke up since the other three didn't say anything, and the girl looked like she was in a hurry. "Nope, I don't think we've seen a toad at all, right guys?" I looked at the three boys hoping for a reply. All three of them nodded saying either "Yes" or "yeah." 

"Okay well if you see one let me know. I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger." She said, putting her hand out to shake mine. I took her hand and shook it. "Its nice to meet you Granger. I'm Y/N and this is-" I got cut off by Lee. "I'm Lee and those annoying red heads are George and Fred." Fred scrunched up his nose and George got angry. "Oi we're not annoying! Don't say that." George said, getting ready to punch Lee in his face. Meanwhile Hermione was just staring at us confused. "Uhm- Okay well Hermione it was nice to see and meet you! Assuming your a first year, we will see you at the sorting ceremony." I said, trying to get rid of the silence. "Okay, bye everyone, nice meeting you." Granger said, leaving the compartment.

The minute Granger left, George and Lee went back to arguing about a bunch of other nonsense. I sat there thinking about earlier. As in earlier I mean when Fred held my hand. I mean it's kinda normal I guess? But this time. This time felt different. I got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about how I felt! Maybe I did actually like him. I mean did I? I've know Weasley's since I was young, and me and the Twins have been close, closer than anyone in this world. They were both like my best friends! I couldnt just like one of them? Well I mean, did I? The thoughts squirreled around in my head, which led to me getting worked up and just overall stressed out. I really did like him.

I yawned, it felt like we had been on this train forever. George and Lee were out getting changed into their uniforms so they would be ready when they got off, which meant me and Fred were alone.
"Fred?" I said as I looked at the floor. "Yeah Y/N?" He replied, I could feel his eyes on me. "When you held my hand earlier, I-" I stopped. I shouldn't tell him. Or should I? But what if he makes fun of me or just doesn't like me like that. I looked at him and went to open my mouth but then, George and Lee came into compartment laughing. They were talking about how they played a prank on Ron while he was getting changed. I stood up and walked out without saying anything. I went to get changed, maybe I should've finished my sentence.

Fred's POV:
I watched Y/N walk out of the compartment without saying anything. She looked distressed. "What's her problem?" George said, looking at me. "I don't know, maybe it's girl things?" I replied, thinking about what she was going to say earlier. I messed with the hem of my shirt while listening to George and Lee talking, replying or laughing with them once in a while. The compartment opened and Y/N was finally back. I got up to leave and when I walked past her I felt her hand in mine. There was a note.

Y/N'S POV:
I walked back into the compartment after getting changed and handed Fred a note. I sat down acting like nothing was happening. "Y/N what was that? What did you hand to Fred?" Lee said smirking, "Oooo was it a love letter??
Dear Freddie,
Oh how I love you so, be my boyfriend. Even better yet be my husband!!!" He said mocking me. I stared at him blankly. "Shut up you arsehole." I said. Lee and George have always thought I liked Fred. Especially when we were kids. I mean it was kinda true but I mean come on, how do boys know so much?? They're so oblivious but they noticed if you had a crush on Fred? God boys are dumb. Fred walked into the compartment, he looked at you and smiled. He sat down and both George and Lee stared at you and then him.

"Sooo.. Fred," George started. "What? Why are you guys staring at me? Do I have something on my shirt?" Fred said, looking down at his shirt. "You know what, nevermind. Did you guys hear about th-" George once again started, stopping because of the train coming to a fast stop. "Oh my Merlin! We're finally here. It felt like hours"

We all grabbed our luggage and walked off of the train. I stared at the castle from a far. We had a long boat ride ahead of us. Me and Fred got into a boat together, and George got onto a boat with Lee. I sat across from Fred and made eye contact with him for a split second, then I looked away. "So, I read that note you gave me." He said, kinda chuckling. "You really felt butterflies from me holding your hand?" He smiled, looking at me. I looked at him, making eye contact with him. "Uh- yeah.. sorry" I replied to his question. He looked away, looking at the castle. "Me too." He said, you could see he had blush on his cheeks.

"Really?" I said, smiling slightly at the thought that maybe he did like me. "Yeah." He replied, still not looking at me. He smiled and finally did look at me. "Let's talk about this tomorrow, seemings how their just gonna make us go to sleep when they finish the sorting ceremony and dinner." He said, grabbing my hands. He held both of my hand in his while rubbing circles on my palms. I blushed and held his hands as well. "Okay." I replied, smiling brightly. I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
