Stuck in the Middle

Chapter 15

We stayed a bit longer in the Astronomy Tower. We danced to no music because we could. He was able to sneak some elf wine which we had a few drinks of. While we were dancing Fred looked like he wanted to say something.

"Cat got your tongue?" I asked with a raised brow and a small laugh.

"A cat got my tongue?" he asked me with a super confused face.

"It's a muggle reference meaning that you look like you have something to say but you can't say it," I said with a small smile and laugh.

"Oh yeah," he gave a nervous smile and laughed.

"So what's on your mind?"

"When we got your mental message that night from the Ministry, we knew something happened. We rode as fast as we could to get there. When I saw you like that, small, pale, and bleeding. I thought the worst. Until you said my name. Seeing you almost die in front of me made me realize a lot. I realized I loved you and couldn't lose you. George could see how it affected me." He smiled for a quick moment. "He even went so far as to make a joke that I should marry you but he didn't realize that that's what I wanted to do in that moment. Once it was set in my mind what I wanted to do George said he would help. Ginny, Hermione, and Luna helped me pick out the ring because I was too nervous that I would pick the wrong ring. They also helped set this all up."

I had a huge smile on my face. I kissed him. "George is the best brother, and I still would have said yes no matter what the ring looked like. All I care about is being with you."

We danced a little bit more.

"We have a long day tomorrow we better get some sleep," I said looking up at him.

He sighed. "Yeah, we do."

"We graduate tomorrow remember?" I asked jokingly. "Wait. Did you tell Molly?"

He looked at me for a moment before full realization set in. "I didn't."

"Well, she's going to find out tomorrow."

We walked back holding hands and I had my head against his shoulder.

"Aren't you two supposed to be in bed, Mister Weasley and Miss Vega?" I heard Snape say from behind us. We turned around.

"We were just heading back to the common room now," I said trying not to keep angry.

"You're lucky it's the last night of the school year and that you're graduating tomorrow," he threatened.

I looked at him and took a step towards him. He was starting to piss me off.

"Was that a threat?" I hissed at him. I felt Fred trying to tug me back.

Snape looked at me. The same flicker of fear crossed his eyes.

'Dont forget what I said. I keep my promises.' I mentally told Snape.

He was staring at me and gave me a nod before walking away. It took a moment before I started to calm myself.

Fred was standing next to me. "What was that?" he asked me.

"We had a disagreement a few weeks ago. It was about The Order. He also knew my mother too." I said.

"Ive never seen you act like that before. Let alone a teacher, especially when it's Snape," he said holding my shoulders. "He must have really fucked up to make you act like that."

"If he fucks up he'll see more than just that," I looked him in the eye feeling the rage fill me again.

His eyes grew wide. "Aurora. Your eyes. They're green."
