On the train back to Hogwarts Scarlett sat with Andrew and Bianca catching up on their Christmas holidays. Scarlett had finally decided she was strong enough to fight back, after spending every day with George she didn't want to go back to stolen glances in class or subtle hand grazes as they passed each other in the hallway. She wanted to be with him and Umbridge wasn't going to get in her way.
"I'm tired of pretending and hiding away. I'm not spending another shitty afternoon in Umbridge's office hearing her stupid ministry brain washing rants. We're not pretending to be together anymore Andy."
"No issues here Scar, I've missed flirting."
"You sure you're strong enough to handle it Scar?"
"I've been underestimating how much power I have Bianca. If Umbridge tries anything I'll speak out against the ministry and tell them what they're doing then any idiot still believing in them will turn. 'Ministry tortures mourning twin of late Cedric Diggory' is not a headline they would like to have plastered all over the Prophet."
"Looks to me we've got our Scarlett back B"
"I think you might be right Andy, her fire is back."
The trio laughed together, the absence of their missing member slowly drifting away as they felt the dark clouds that loomed over them slowly parting.
-------------
Fred and George were sat in a carriage with the golden trio listening to them discuss you-know-who but couldn't help getting a bit bored by the seriousness of the conversation. George's mind wondered to the memories of his Christmas holiday with Scarlett. Ever since Christmas they couldn't keep their hands off each other, he was addicted to the curves of her body, the brightness of her smile and the sound of her voice. He had slept in her bed every night since Christmas, waking up to the sight of her every morning was the best way to start his day. His thoughts were broken by Fred
"Let's go, I'm all serioused out."
They both got up and made their way out of the compartment to try and find an empty one where they could start brainstorming ideas for their store. Two carriages down and they had no luck finding an empty compartment, they were about to give in when George caught a glimpse of Scarlett. Instinctively he walked in, not warning Fred who was ahead of him. When Scarlett turned to him her face beamed, his heart melted at the sight. He was about to pull her into his arms until he realised they were on the train back to Hogwarts. It hurt him to hold back, he took a step back until Scarlett got up and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. His hands grabbed her waist as he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. They were interrupted when the compartment door opened into George's back, breaking them apart
"Merlin's beard George, could have warned me you had found a...oh come on, I have spent all my holiday being a 3rd wheel to you guys, please give it a break." Fred complained as he walked into the compartment making Andrew and Bianca laugh.
"You had to put up with that all holiday, my sympathies."
"I will take those sympathies Andy. I need them."
Fred sat down next to Bianca and grazed her leg making her blush that went unnoticed by everyone apart from Scarlett who gave a her friend a knowing smirk as she pulled George deeper into the compartment sitting next to Andrew opposite Fred and Bianca.
"You should be thanking us, you had a whole room to yourself for the first time ever." George protested
"That is a fair point it was fun to not have to deal with your snoring."
"Could have warned me about that by the way Freddie"
"Some things you've got to find out on your own Scar."
"I haven't heard any complaints from you since we started sharing a bed, moans yes but complaints no."
Scarlett punched in the arm as she grew red with embarrassment while the others laughed. George pulled her close and kissed on her the cheek knowing she couldn't stay mad at him.
"So what's the plan? Are you going to go back to being 'broken up'?" Fred asked.
George turned to Scarlett, he had thought they would continue the charade but after she kissed him, his heart ached at the idea of not being with her.
"I want to be with you. I don't give a Doxy's nip what Umbridge does. I don't want to spend a single second pretending not to love you." Scarlett replied matter of factly wrapping her arm around his and squeezing tightly
"I won't let her do anything to you little bird." George pulled her into a deep kiss, the lust for each other growing when the disgusted noises of the group made them realise they were not in private.
"Unacceptable behaviour." Bianca stated
"At least they're not pressed up against you." Andrew complained
"Welcome to my world." Fred replied feeling vindicated.
"Okay okay. We get it guys. We will tone it down." Scarlett replied pulling away from George.
"You know you'll have to stop with that anyway. Even if we didn't find it disgusting to watch. Remember it's Hogwarts under Umbridge and the ministry." Bianca reminded the couple.
"Oh Helga, this is going to be a hard year ahead." Scarlett signed leaning into Georges shoulder
"What an absolute shit last year at Hogwarts we're going to have." Andrew exclaimed causing everyone to groan in agreement.
