Fred POV
It's been a week since the Sirius Black scare and ever since then Tess has been very distant and absent.
She's never anywhere to be found and when she is she's either doing homework or writing a letter to who knows who.
I've started to think she's cheating on me. George thinks I should just confront her about it.
So that's what I'm on my way to do.
Tess POV
Lately I've been spending a lot of time with Uncle Remus and I've been debating whether or not to write to my dad.
Honestly I don't think my dad's guilty.
From everything I've heard about him he doesn't seem like the one to double cross them. Especially James and Lily. More something Peter would do if you ask me.
As I was thinking about all of this while staring at the common room fire I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I turned to see my lovely boyfriend looking annoying and, scared?
"Hey Freddie what's up?" I asked.
"We need to talk" was all he said before turning and walking to his dorm.
As I followed I grew concerned. Did he cheat on me? Is he going to break up with me? Am I not good enough? Did I do something?
I opened his door to find him pacing.
I walked up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Freddie, what's wrong?" I timidly asked.
"Listen Tess, I'm not gonna beat around the bush," he started. "Ate you cheating on me?"
I stood dumbfounded looking at him, eyes wide and jaw dropped. My hand dropped off his shoulder and hung by my side.
I was at a complete loss of words. I hadn't cheated on him, how could he think that?
A few minutes passed in complete silence until he broke it.
"I knew it. I just knew it. Why Tess? Am I not good enough? Don't treat you right? Am I-"
"FRED!" I cut him off.
"Listen to me! I swear, I PROMISE, that I did not cheat on you. If you believe one thing, just one thing at all I tell you in my entire life. Believe this. I love you. I love you and I would never cheat on you. Please. Believe me" I poured out my heart to him.
"Then where are you all the time?! I barely heard or saw you for a week! You have been so distant and I am so scared and confused!" He retaliated.
"I'm sorry for that, I am! But...I cant tell you yet. I want to, I do, but I'm just not ready" I told him. I couldn't tell anyone. I couldn't have anyone look at me differently.
"Okay. I understand. I'll give you time. But I miss my beautiful girlfriend. I want her back" he said while walking towards me.
"Then come get her" was all I said before turning and running out of the room.
I ran as fast as I could down the stairs but I could hear Freds laughs catching up quickly.
As I was about to pass the Great Hall I was tackled to the floor.
I landed on my back with Fred on top.
"Well. Good to know you like being on bottom" he said while chuckling.
I merely giggled and smacked his chest.
He kissed all over my face, on my nose, and was about to kiss me when we heard someone clear their throat.
Of course, out of everyone who could be found us it had to be Remus. Yas perf. Whoo!
We quickly stood up and brushed our selves off.
"I suggest you get up to your dorms and get some rest. Quidditch game tomorrow, correct?"
"Yes, sir" Fred responded.
"Off you go then" Remus told us.
Fred grabbed my hand to drag me away, not before I glared very harshly at my smirking godfather.
~~~~~NEXY DAY, AFTER MATCH~~~~~
After the match, which we won by the way, we all had a party in the common room.
I was drinking and dancing with Fred and George until McGonagall came to shut it down.
Instead of going up to bed, I went with Gred, Forge, and Lee up to their room to talk.
It's been a few hours and I'm currently cuddling with Fred on his bed as George and Lee work on pranks.
"AAAHHHHHHHHH" was all we heard.
I look up quizzically at Fred before getting up.
We walked down stairs and found a bunch of people downstairs.
"Ah are we continuing?" Fred said, rather happy.
McGonagall came in again and yelled at us until Ron said Sirius Black was there. It was confirmed and after McGonagall left I knew I had to find Remus.
"I love you" I said to Fred, kissed him, and ran out.
I ran out of the castle and looked around to find my dad.
I thought of the one place might go.
The Shrieking Shack.
