All Of The Ways We Differ

"Explliarmus!" you watched as Harry's wand flew from his hand. For your first try at the disarming spell, you were shocked how well it had worked. You were late to join "Dumbledore's Army," making you the newest member. You could not stop the nerves of feeling behind everyone's progress. "Well done!" shouted a student whose name you were yet to be aware of. As you strode away from the center of the room, enjoying the praise from your peers, you joined your group of friends.

"Fred Weasley," he said, extending his right hand to you. Looking up at him, you reached out, shaking his large hand. From his right stepped out his identical twin.

"Now Freddie, don't take all of the star students' attention."

He bumped shoulders with his brother making more room for himself.

"George Weasley at your service" you couldn't help smiling up at the red headed twins.

"I wouldn't call myself the star by any means but thank you for the vote of confidence."

"it's about time you three met," interrupted Ginny, your best friend. "I've only told you about her a million times."

"ah so you're the infamous twins I have heard so much about" you chuckled up at them.

"so what brought you to join the big boys?" they asked in unison.

Rasing your hand, showing the back of it. Still red and irritated, "I shall not speak disrespectfully to my superiors." You mocked Umbridge's voice. "after she decided to insult my work in class, I promptly asked if her hairstyle was some form of curse we would be learning about in the upcoming chapters." You smiled to yourself, still staring down at your hand. "Was well worth it though, the look on her face was a thing of dreams."

Shooting your eyes at the twins, both looking amused. "absolutely brilliant if you ask me! We were thinking of slipping her some puking pastels in her tea, they are an invention of ours."

Your interest peaked, you had to know more. As you stood taking in all of the information regarding the skiving snack boxes, their deliciously devious contents. "here, consider me a founding member, and remember who supported you at the beginning." You handed them each ten galleons.

Right then and there Fred knew he had fallen, and fallen hard.

Every meeting since then, you had always held Freds attention. Frequently catching him watching you in the mirrored walls when your back was to him. Typically ignoring it, "he's just watching you because you're a fast learner, don't think too much about it." Today you decided to stick your tongue out at him, letting him know he was caught. Quickly straightening himself up, his face turned a darker red color than his bright hair. George leaned over to whisper something in his ear in your general direction. Whatever he had to say clearly upset him as he gave his shoulder a quick shove. Leaving George to walk away looking far too smug.

You turned walking your way to Ginny, noticing the expression on her face.

"Now what is that face about Gin?"

"Well, isn't it obvious? You clearly have caught my brother's attention" she tilted her head in Freds direction. "he was so busy trying to impress you with his patronus charm, that he sent it flying  into the back of Nevilles head."

"Yeah, bloody hurt too. If I didn't have a hard enough time remembering things, now I have a head injury to worry about." Neville exclaimed joining the conversation.

Rolling your eyes, shaking your head, you did your best to hide the blush that had risen to your cheeks.

"You both have gone mad, he has got most of the sixth years wrapped around his finger-"
