Just A Bet ● Fred Weasley × Reader ●

12 - La Ferret

A/N - It has been a hot minute since I did a chapter, I honestly forgot I had Wattpad for a solid two weeks! Anyways, because I don't have a plan, you get to watch y/n and her friends go through much shenanigans!

----------

TW - Biting?

----------

I sat with Cedric in the courtyard as he mumbled on and on about his prefect duties while everyone teased him relentlessly, meanwhile I just sat in my own little world, not even realizing I had zoned out on the admittedly handsome Hufflepuff that lay strewn across the stone bench.

It had been a week since George made me take that bet with Fred and I was losing... Rapidly... Being 'friends' was far easier than I thought. When we weren't alone. The second someone left us unsupervised, he reigned hellfire, despising me with all his heart.  So, naturally, I only saw it fit to do the same.

"y/n, you alright?" He asked, drawing me out of my non-existent thoughts.

I stared at him as he sat up, his hair, just long enough to cover his eyebrows which knitted together in concern.

"Yeah, all good, why do you ask?" I watch him for a moment as all his friends nag him about being swooned. Yet that didn't last long before I heard the familiar laugh of the twins, drawing my attention as they chased each other around a tree.

"Just curiou-" He stopped as Harry approached us, looking visibly distraught. "You alri-" Cedric began, but Harry quickly pulled him away. I arched my brow, but decided to pay no mind.

I looked around the courtyard again, seeing so many Hogwarts students wearing pins, swirling and magically changing to say 'Potter Stinks.' Gah, it bothered me. The lad did nothing wrong! 

Cedric came back to the bench, deep in thought, yet again, my attention was drawn away once more by a blonde prick sitting in a tree.

"Oi, Potter!" He grabbed Harry's attention.

"What, Malfoy?" He spat, looking around nervously at the pins, but trying to remain stoic in front of his rival.

"My father and I have a bet, you see. I don't think you'll last ten minutes in this round..." He hopped down from the tree. "My father doesn't think you'll last five." He chortled and got laughs from his fellow Slytherins. 

"That's enough, Malfoy." I stepped beside harry, crossing my arms, angling my chin up, irritation being the only word I can think of.

"Or what?" 

●Fred's POV●

I paused my chasing George and turned at the sound of y/n talking to Malfoy.

"Or what?" He spits, his arrogance evident, but his ego larger.

I rolled my eyes and looked away, but then was violently elbowed in the chest by George, who pointed over to her as Malfoy took a few steps closer, towering over her.

Anger bubbled in my veins, yet all my body let me do was watch.

"Or you'll find out what it's like to have my fist down your throat." She retorted. By now, Harry had backed away slightly, giving me and George a pleading look. The beg for help is evident in his expression.

"Mmm~" Malfoy hummed, giving a very sarcastic chuckle. 

And now my body worked on overdrive. My brain no longer functioning as my legs carried me behind y/n. "Do it..." I spoke into her ear, my voice low.

"I might," She mused.

The conversation was interrupted by Moody storming into the courtyard. "No, you won't." He held out his wand and transfigured Malfoy into a small white ferret. Malfoy's clothes obviously no longer fitting and falling to the ground.

Moody, using his wand, made Malfoy fly up and down, recieving tiny squeaks of distress in response. 

I smiled, enjoying the show, but then Professor McGonagall arrived and stopped Moody before he could hurt the boy turned ferret further.

"Alistor! Is that a student!?" She asked, taking Moody's wand away.

"Ah, yes, McGonagall. Malfoy. Being a right git to Potter here." Moody explained and y/n rolled her eyes.

To my own shock, she walked over to where Malfoy shook in his tiny ferret body on top of his robes and picked him up.

He hissed and bit her hand, receiving a light smack to the side from y/n. "Bad Malfoy." She scolded and he cowered in her grip.

"The spell should wear off within twenty-four hours, but in the meantime, because I do believe you and Mr. Malfoy here have the same classes, it would be best to keep him with you." McGonagall smiled slightly as Moody walked off.

"Wonderful." y/n grimaced at the creature in her hands.

Even I had to admit that the little ferret in her grasp looked cute. His white fur was almost identical to the hair on his head when he was human.

"Right. To lunch. pip pip. Off you go." McGonagall ushered us away from the courtyard.

y/n stared down at Malfoy as we walked, staring at his tiny blue eyes. "Freak." She muttered and I choked on a laugh with George. He looked like he rolled his eyes before curling up in her palms and shutting his eyes, letting out a heavy sigh.

I went to go and touch him, but he bit my finger. "Ow! Git!"

y/n laughed as she walked into the great hall. "You're sitting with the Gryffindor's today, Malfoy." 

He growled and sat on the table, looking around at everyone.

Angelina, Lee, Katie, and Alicia all leaned toward the tiny animal.

"You got a pet, y/n?" Katie asked, reaching out to touch the tiny animal.

To both mine and y/n's surprise, he let her touch him, sneezing as she patted his head between his ear, which folded flush with his head.

"Uh. No. That's Malfoy," I explained.

Katie's eyes widened and she drew her hand back, looking repulsed that she just petted him on the head. "Ew! I touched him!"

y/n laughed again, her voice ringing through the hall with an angelic echo I could listen to all day.

A/N - I'm back, Darlings!! Anyway. Small chapter. I think the next chapter might have y/n and Draco shenanigans, but I haven't decided. I might write from his perspective, but again, that's also undecided. 

Yeah. It's not Friday, I know, but I don't think I can keep up the schedule as I have my Marvel fanfic, as well as an original novel I've been grinding on for the past two weeks that already has 13,000 words out of 100,000 which is crazy.

But yeh, see you next time!
