Summers at The Burrow - Fred Weasley

Chapter Eighteen - Dungbomb Foolery

I spent the first few days of winter holiday with draco at Malfoy Manor and the majority of that time was spent teaching him about quidditch. He was set on the fact that he would make the Slytherin quidditch team and I didn't doubt him as long as he went for the right position. He really wanted to be a seeker but it wasn't exactly a good fit for him. Despite all my efforts he insisted on it.

Draco is an entitled brat but at least he treats me kindly. He doesn't have anyone else to hang out with around here so I was like a sister to him.

Once my mother and I had to return home I packed my things and made my way to the Burrow. It was quite chilly outside but the twins agreed to meet me half way and help me with my things.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened this time. And by out of the ordinary I mean we didn't completely blow a whole through the ground while trying to brew a potion. The potion in question ended up exploding but we don't talk about that because Mrs Weasley won't let us.

When we returned to school we came with a fresh supply of dung bombs and about Fifty-six new ways to prank the staff. Unfortunately McGonagall confiscated them upon our entrance since Percy tipped her off.

For the past three weeks we have been following him around with dungbombs trailing behind him threatening to blow them. We managed to snatch the dungbombs back during a detention because lee created a diversion so that's how we got them back.

For now though it was nearly curfew and the entire Gryffindor quidditch team was bolting back from the pitch since Oliver ran the practice too late.

When we got into the common room I walked up to Lee who was occupying a sofa all to himself and I flopped onto him. Fred and George followed after me effectively suffocating both lee and I.

We had planned to sneak out tonight but obviously plans change when quidditch gets in the way. It's about the only thing that can get in the way at this point.

Once lee had shoved the three of us off of him I decided it was time I went up and changed out of my robes. It had rained during our practice so we were a bit wet. We had mostly dried but it was very cold.

Once I was warmed up and clean I went back down to the common room in my comfiest pajamas. The twins were on the couch so I sat with them and we began discussing our plans for tomorrow night.

We never reused an old plan for pranks so this was our time to revise what was previously tonight's plan.

"Well I heard Snape saying he would be keeping an eye on the dungeons since I got caught last time." I said when George suggested we do something in the dungeon.

"how did you get out of that one?" Lee asked.

"I get detention enough as it is so it wasn't that unlikely that I had gotten detention from filch. I didn't of course but he gave me the slip and I was on my merry way." I explained.

"So your friends with Snape now too?" Fred asked in a shocked voice.

"I wouldn't say that." I retorted.

"What a load of hogwash! Ever since Dumbledore had you for tea Snape's been letting you off on everything." Fred said.

"Do you want me to march up and ask him to give me detention or what?" I retorted.

"Would you two stop flirting and talk like normal people!" Oliver shouted from across the room at us.

"We're not!" I shouted back at him.

"Are too!" He retorted.

"I'm going to bed!" I shouted as I sprung off the couch incredibly annoyed.

"You see what you've done here Oliver!" Fred shouted in Oliver's direction.
