Be Mine, Fred Weasley

Wondering Why (Fred's P.O.V.)

"Thanks everyone for a great birthday! I have to admit that I thought the majority of you forgot the most important day of the year!" I say standing on the common room table. Many people are still up eating and enjoying the good time we have going on. Once the burst of laughter ends I bow and make my way off the table, but before I am completely off I search the room for her. Who do I mean by her? Only the most beautiful and caring girl I know. Beth. Just moments ago she kissed me on the cheek. I know, I know she just did it because she is my friend and... who am I kidding I have no idea why she did it. This girl makes me loose all common sense, or the sense I have.

"Hey Fred!'

I look around a see Lee waving me over, and of course Lucy is by his side, the two are constantaly by each other. I walk over to the two and ask, "What my two love birds?"

"Oh please. We aren't the only ones in the room." says Lucy.

"What does that mean?" I say back rather harshly, because I know were this is going.

"You and Beth! I mean you two have been completely all over each other the past few hours! SHE EVEN KISSED YOU! And what did you do? NOTHING!!" She stops to breath which gives me a few seconds to think. She is right, but like bloody hell I am going to let her know that.

"What do you mean I did nothing? She kissed me? I didn't ask for it, so I didn't need to do anything." I say back.

"You could have actually kissed her." Lucy says. I then loose my temper and walk off before I do something else to ruin another one of my friendships. I have done enough to Beth and George the past year, I don't need anything else to happen. I walk though the crowd and see George.

"Hey brother." I say lightly punching him in the arm.

"Hey. Having fun?" he asks while eating a huge slice of cake.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to go to bed though. Cover for me?" I ask.

"Yeah, why not? More gifts for me."

"Hey Fred!" I hear a voice say.

"WHAT?" my brother yells back across the room. This is the most convenient thing about being a twin. You can have double while only having one person actually do all the work.

"Thanks, " I say one last time to George who looks at me confused as to why I am leaving but knows better than to ask questions in front of everyone. I then sneak my way up the stairs and into our dorm. I take off my sweaty shirt, throw it on the floor, take off my shoes and jeans, find a semi-clean pair of sweats on the floor, put them on and jump into bed. I lay there for what feels like hours replaying the events of tonight in my head, but the one I replay the most is when Beth kissed me. If I think long and hard enough, I can still feel the place where her lips touched my cheek. I graze my fingertips over the spot. I think about her until I fall into a calm sleep.

Months pass and things between Beth and I are normal as ever. We spend most of our time together and have been getting along a lot more the past few months than what I would have expected after the events that happened at my party. I thought she would be worried about what she did by kissing me on the cheek, but she acts like it wasn't even a thing! I don't understand girls.

"All quills down! Exam time is over."

I look down at my paper for History of Magic and know I did the best I could have done. I remembered all the Wars that Beth said I needed to do, but I'm not sure I put down the correct magical creatures involved in each. I stopped listening to Beth at that point, only to concentrate on the way she studies. She puts her quill at the top of her desk every time she can't remember the answer to something, only to grab it a few seconds later to scribble down the right answer. She blinks really fast when she is reading aloud to anyone. When she needs a quick break she stops and smells her book. I curious as to why one would do such a nasty thing asked her..

"Oh Fred have you never smelt a book? It smells like ink and parchment and it wonderful. Here smell this one."

I then had to smell a nasty book, but not wanting to hurt her feelings told her she was right and that it smelt wonderful, when in reality I wanted to gag.

"Mr. Weasley. May I have your exam."

I snap back into reality and hand the helper for Professor BInns my exam paper. "Sorry."

I grab my bag and stuff my quill into it and run to catch up to the gang. We all head back to the common room to hang there for the rest of the night. The conversation is everywhere but I put most of my focus onto Beth.

Before I know it its almost midnight and the only other person up is this first year that really doesn't talk all that much. I think his name is Norman. I tap Beth's shoulder and ask, ""Who is that kid?"

She looks around and sees the kid I'm talking about. She chuckles quietly, "Neville Longbottom, he's a first year."

"Ah, I thought it was Norman." I say, making her laugh.

"Fred! That's awful!" she says still laughing. I stand up getting ready to head up to the dorm to catch some sleep before the final round of classes the next few days. She reaches her hand out signaling me to help her up. I grab her hand and pull her up, but when I do I pull a little too hard and she comes crashing into me causing me to fall backward back onto the floor her landing on top of me.

"Ew. Get a room you two!" says George who saw the whole thing happen, I know he is just trying to be funny but it makes me blush a deep red now noticing that Beth is still on top of me. I give her a push up and then hoist myself up.

"Night guys." says Beth as her and Lucy make their way to their dorm. we all wave at them and we follow them until we reach our door and make our way into our own beds.

"So you and Beth eh Fred?" says Lee.

"Shut up Lee." I retaliate back.

"Yeah Lee, shut up I'm trying to sleep here." says George, who knows I am confused as hell when it comes to Beth and the way she acts around me. Sometimes I feel like she likes me, but at other times I feel as though she only sees me as a friend. I close my eyes and picture her. I fall once again into a deep sleep.
