The One and Only |Fred x Reader|

Astronomy

      We were out of breath as we reached the top. "I understand why you like it up here Y/n/n." Fred said walking over to the rail staring at the sky. "Now. Why don't you come tell me what's going on?"

      I made my way over to Fred and swung myself over the railing with my feet dangling. Like always. "I've been trying to stay away from my friends. In case I bring danger to you guys, from, you know...Sirius." I lied.

"Y/n! We are supposed to protect you not the other way around." He then laughed. "You can be so selfless sometimes. You always put others before yourself."

"Better than being self absorbed." I replied.

"True. What about that night when you seemed mad? Your little library trip that had everyone worried, again."

"I was just upset about everything that had happened. It had just hit me right then and there you know? It's like 'Hey! Your father is going to kill you and your brother!' And just thinking about it makes me want to cry. My whole life i've wanted a proper family. Not one where we get mentally and emotionally abused, starved, and not cared for. The slightest bit of affection makes me fall in love because I never had that as a kid. It was me and Harry fighting for ourselves. And with a murderer as my father? How am I going to live with myself? I think that every night. What if my friends all secretly hate me?" I said with a few tears running down my face, I was great at lying.

      I was upset how Angelina got the same treatment as me. He held her hand, hugged her, called her cute nicknames like 'love', 'darling', and 'Angie'. It wasn't fair. Wasn't he holding my hand before her's? He flirts with me all the time then turns around and does it with Angelina. She's older than me too! She's stunning. No wonder Fred flirts with her constantly. That's why he leaves me just like that. The outside may be pretty but her personality isn't the best. She's so full of herself! She never checks in on anyone and only cares for herself. Her and I are quite the opposite. That was the real reason I was upset.

"Y/n...You know I'm always here for you right. You could've told me that whenever. You really had me worried. I'm going to talk to my mom about having you and Harry over for a majority of the summer. O-only if you want to! I don't know if you're mad at me still-"

"Freddie, I was never mad at you. I was mad at the world. Why did this have to happen? I swear my life had such a plot twist." I said laughing, wiping the tears off my cheeks.

      Fred grabbed my waist, pulling me off the railing and grabbing my hand as we walked down the stairs. "Astronomy, huh?" Fred asked. "Favorite subject is it?

"How could you tell?" I said sarcastically. "I've been studying it since my first year here. It's fairly interesting if you ask me."

"That class is at midnight too. I have no idea how you do it. You're the most crazy person I know. Besides George of course." Fred replied laughing as he brought up his twin.

"My secret is, drink coffee. Then once you get back to your Dorm for sleep, do a sleeping spell on yourself then have your friends wake you up." I said giving him a small smile.

"Well aren't you bloody brilliant." He said giving my hand a squeeze.

      He started swinging our hands back in forth as we made our way back to the Common Room. He walked me up the stairs and didn't let go of my hand. "C'mon Freddie, I've gotta get some sleep." I whispered.

"Can I sleep with you?" He asked looking at the ground. "George snores loudly."

      I laughed at him and took him into my Dorm. I put a finger to my lips, signaling to Fred to be quiet. I didn't want to wake Ginny and Hermione. I slid into my bed and he took the spot next to me. Our faces almost touching. "Goodnight Y/n/n."
