Reverie // Fred Weasley

Vesper

Taking a puff of her cigarette in the privacy of the toilet, Vesper was making the most of it since she knew she couldn't smoke outside near her father or her sister. Inhaling the smoke, she exhaled feeling cathartic over the sensations of nicotine, something she had missed since it already been a month and a half since shes been back from school.

Hearing a light knock from outside, she knew she had spent too long inside and in a panic shoved her cigarettes in her bra yelling that she was coming out, making sure to flush the toilet and spray air freshner everywhere. She washed her face making sure the scent of cigarettes didn't remain and unlocked the door to see her adorable younger sister looking at her with her usual airey look.

" The toilet's all yours Lulu "

" Oh, I don't need to go, I just needed you to stop smoking since dad told us to go get water "

Sighing, she wondered what was even the point of trying to smoke in secret when her family were human smoke detectors. She was sure even her father was aware of her smoking habits which was something she did not want him to know. She stepped outside the toilet and gave an apologetic glance to an irritated looking witch who brushed past her to enter the toilet.

She hadn't realised a line had formed outside the shared public toilet and felt bad, nodding awkwardly at the group of people waiting before scurrying off with Luna to get water. Making sure to politely say excuse me and pardon me as she collided with a few people in the crowded campsite, they finally made it to the area to get water and started to fill up the bottles Luna was carrying in a bag.

They had already been camping for the quidditch world cup for nearly a week and so far she had bumped into a few friends and schoolmates here and there. She couldn't be seen associating too much with one of her closest friends Aaron since his parents were not fond of her so she had been spending most her time with Luna. She didn't mind though, she had missed Luna. Sure, they were in Ravenclaw together and saw each other everyday but it just wasn't the same as sharing a room in their home.

She liked to listen to her younger sister talk about whatever came up in her mind and garden together, sometimes they would bake and cook as well which their father would jokingly accuse them of fattening him up. She had fun doing domestic activities with her family, but she did not like doing chores including getting water like she was now.

Taking in a deep breath, Vesper lifted up most of the water bottles since she didn't want Luna to carry too much weight and walked back to their campsite hoping she wouldn't fall only for the weight to leave her shoulder suddenly and she turned, ready to thank whoever was helping her carry the bag of bottles only to scowl seeing a familiar face.

" Weasley "

His fiery red hair had clearly grown since school had ended and was now shoulder length. With abundant freckles dotting his face, he smirked noticing her grim stare at him.

" You know you should stop calling me Weasley, seeing as thats going to be your last name as well in the future "

Scowling, Vesper was already done with the older Weasley twin and forcibly attempted to grab the bag filled with bottle of waters only for him to move it out of her reach with ease using strength that she loathed. She could easily say she disliked everything about Fred from his hair to his brown eyes to his slightly crooked nose.

" Just let him carry your bag Lovegood, it'll make him feel better and get him to shut up "

Turning around, she came face to face with the Weasley twin she actually tolerated who was now helping carry Luna's bag and smiled at him.
