Timeline: 1992 (chamber of secrets)

Everybody knew that the Griffindor tower was just 9 inches short of being the tallest tower between itself and the tower that belonged to the Ravenclaws. 
Everybody knew that the Astronomy tower was the tallest tower. Overtaking even the Ravenclaw tower. Everyone know that. 

Everybody except for Y/n Y/l/n.
Well, not quite. She knew it too.
She was just... in denial. 

The only tower she wanted the astronomy tower to be taller than is her own. 

"Come off it, Weasley." Y/n laughed very quietly as she charmed the broom-shed door open. "This is very. Very. Very. Very wrong." Fred Weasley laughed in reply, looking side to side.
"If we get caught, we're getting expelled." Y/n remarked in turn, slipping into the broomshed as Fred followed her, close enough to touch her should he reach out.

"Ok, I'll take Malfoy's,  you take that one over there-" The Griffindor girl was speaking in excited, hushed tones, pointing to brooms that stood against the far wall.
"Don't you think Malfoy put a charm on his broom?" The Weasley whispered right back, grabbing  the broom Y/n pointed to before slipping out of the broomshed in turn.
"You're right. Ought take another broom for incase." Y/n grabbed an old school broom.

Then, the two Griffindors quietly slipped out of the broomshed again, mounting the Nimbus 2001's that weren't theirs in the first place. Seeing that the Malfoy boy's broom was, in fact, not charmed in anti-theft, Y/n continued.
"On three, we kick off. Remember; as soon as we do...." "we might as well be caught. Got it." Fred laughed again, admiring his second best friend besides George. 

"One.... two.... three!"
Then the two griffindors, Y/n Y/l/n dressed in her nightgown with a cloak thrown over and Fred Weasley dressed in only his pajamas, kicked off, soaring speedily into the sky towards the very top of the Griffindor tower.

Once they got there, Y/n hopped off Draco Malfoy's Nimbus 2001, pulling SeloTape and her wand from her pocket. Fred was just behind her.
"Ok, you line the broom up, I'll tape." Fred said simply, taking the SeloTape from Y/n's hands (there was a slight moment where their hands brushed, mind you) as she lined the broom's handle up against the sharp pionty thing on the tower roof.

Y/n then mumbled a very simple sticking charm as Fred furiously fumbled to fiercely selotape the broom to the tower, successfully making it gain (probally illegally) 11 inches.

"Suck on that, Astronomers!" Y/n said loudly with another laugh, "and ravenclaws. Bloody know-it-alls, now let's go, Fred. Before we get caught." The girl started giggling as she mounted Malfoy's broom again, followed by Fred mounting a broom that belonged to another Slytherin. Fred smirked as he watched Y/n straighten her robe as she looked to him, her eyes sparkling magically.

The two then kicked off quite speedily, racing back to the broomshed as they successfully dodged being spotted.

Once the two had put the brooms back into the shed, ran back to the Griffindor common room and collapsed on the couches, they laughed loudly. Fred noticed Y/n's laugh sounded like the tinkling of a small bell, delicate and -at times- extraordinarily beautiful.

"WAIT TILL EVERYBODY SEES OUR TOWER IS THE TALLEST NOW!" the girl laughed in a loud whisper before Fred Weasley took her by the waist, dragged her body towards him and kissed her quite suddenly.

"Shit. I'm so sorry." He said even more suddenly, pulling away.
"I got lost in the moment-" he began again, but Y/n grabbed him by the collar and smashed her lips back into his.
"I've been waiting to do that," Y/n admitted, kissing her favourite prankster again.
