Misguided (Sequel to Misunderstood)

Chapter 12

(Hey guys! Here's that chapter I promised! I'm know that it's long past when I said I would update but I've had so much going on lately. I know this chapter might be pretty mediocre, but I was writing this at different parts of the day during class and just glanced over parts again. I hope you enjoy the chapter!!)

     "Don't you dare throw another snowball at me Fredrick Weasley!" I yelled behind my makeshift fort that I built.

     "I can't help that you're not defending yourself! This is supposed to be a snowball fight, not a 'please don't hit me' fight," He said and launched another snowball at me. As promised, we went and spent most of the day outside with only a few runs to the Great Hall to get some hot chocolate before we froze to death.

     "I thought maybe my boyfriend would want to be on the same team as me," I muttered as I tried to make my fort better.

     "What's the fun in that?" Fred grinned and ran around my fort to tackle me.

     "Oof! Could you maybe not put your ass on my back," I said and struggled to get him off of me.

     "I'm actually pretty comfortable like this. I think I might just take a nap right here... zzzz."

     I smacked Fred and pushed him off of me.

     "I'm going back to get more hot chocolate. I'm afraid that we'll get sick if we stay out here much longer," I said and got up with Fred's help.

     "Oh calm down Lizzie, if we get sick then Madam Pomfrey will be able to do her job," he said and walked after me towards the entrance of the school.

     "Why is there no one in here?" I asked Fred when we walked into the Great Hall.

     "Maybe they've gone to Hogmeade," He suggested and took a seat at the Gryffindor table.

     "Today wasn't the day for Hogsmeade... I dunno, maybe there's something going on and we don't know about it," I said and drank my hot chocolate.

     "Follow me," Fred simply said after we got done drinking our hot chocolate. I tried to protest but he just shushed me.

     About fifteen minutes of walking later, Fred finally stopped me in front of what I only could assume was a room. He opened the door and led me into the room. He lead me over to a chair and sat me down and told me to stay. I heard some ruffling and a mass of items falling on the floor, followed by Fred cursing so much that a sailor would be pink in the face.

     "Ok. Open," Fred commanded. I opened my eyes and gasped. In front of me stood my father.

     "What in the bloody hell do you think you're doing? Someone could walk in here and catch you!" I exclaimed and ran to give him a hug.

     "I led another troll into the dungeon and they sent all of the students into their dormitories. They didn't come get us because they didn't know that we were out there," Fred said and smirked.

     "Why would you do that? Someone could have been killed!" I exclaimed.

     "Oh Merlin Lizzie I'm so sorry! I wanted you to see your dad because you've been talking about him almost every hour on the hour," Fred responded.

     "How have you been Elizabeth?" My dad asked.

     "Oh you know... Trying not to die... The usual," I said.

     "About the same as me," he said, "Fred can you leave the room for a second so I can talk to my daughter alone?" Dad said. Fred nodded and left the room.

     Dad sighed, "I know you and Fred both really like each other and I know that you just got back together, but do you really think he is the best person for you? Think about all of the shit that he's put you through just in the last few weeks!"

     "I don't need your advice for who I should date and who I shouldn't. It's my life and up until just last year you weren't in my life and Fred was," I huffed.

     "I was in your life as much as I could be. I was falsely sent to prison because my supposed friend died and I was blamed for his murdering," My dad yelled and then took a softer tone, "I only say this because I love you. I understand your choices and I know that you care for him a lot. I don't want to see him do anything that he's done to you again. If so, you tell me and I'll come and kick his ass."

     "Risking going to prison again?" I asked. Dad rolled his eyes and gave me a hug.

     "I have to go now. I'm afraid if I stay here too long we'll be caught somehow and you'll get in trouble," He said and shooed me out of the room.

     "Well how did it go?" Fred asked.

     "My dad threatened to chop your balls off if you did anything to harm or upset me again. I guess he doesn't care so you better keep your baby makers safe from him," I said and lightly bumped into him.

      "Oh it's on," Fred said and started chasing me down the hallway.

     "No Fred don't! Stop!" I yelled laughing and kept running. All of that fell short though when I came to a halt.

     "Mr. Weasley! Miss. Black! What in Merlin's name do you think you're doing out here? There's a troll in the dungeon and all students were specifically told to go to your dormitories," Professor McGonagall said and stared at the both of us waiting for an answer.

     "I'm sorry Professor," Fred said, "Lizzie and I were outside building snowmen and didn't hear all of the commotion. We'll head to our dorms right away." Fred grabbed my hand and started running back towards Gryffindor Tower.

     "Mr. Weasley! Come back here this instant!" McGonagall shouted after us.

     Fred turned a corner and led us into a secret passageway. I leaned against a wall and tried to catch my breath. "Do you think she'll come after us?" I asked.

     "No, with as much trouble as George and I have gotten in, she'll probably think this is like turning in a late homework assignment," He replied and took a peek around the corner to see if she was still there, "C'mon, let's go."

     "After you sir," I said and bowed to him. He laughed, took my hand, and again led me to the tower.
