Just another Weasley~(Harry potter ff)

We are Gryffindor men !

Another update so soon ? I am on a roll ! This is more of a filler chapter though since it's more about Harry and Hermione and their adventure with Hagrid's dragon .

I rested my chin on my hand, my eyes focused in front of me but not really seeing anything. There were too many thoughts in my head, chasing each other around. Thoughts about Nicolas Flamel, my upcoming exams, Ron being in the hospital wing, and Hermione and Harry's upcoming adventure. I was worried about to many things, all of the time. But I didn't know how to rid myself of these worries, how does one simply stop worrying?

My vision refocused and I saw Danielle as if in slow motion snapping her fingers in front of me. I wish I could be like her, she was exactly like the twins- with no worries. I'm sure there was worry there, and jumbled thoughts but she never showed it. And here I sat lost in all my thoughts. How were we ever going to fix the problem with Snape and the stone? How was I going to pass my exams with all of this going on? What if things heat up before now and the end of the year? What if Hermione and Harry got caught in their little adventure? My vision went hazy again as I contemplated all the results of my first year at Hogwarts, what had happened so far, what might happen. There was nothing worse than drowning in your own thoughts. Luckily someone was there to save me. Her voice gradually got louder, tugging me further and further from my thoughts, I finally heard her clearly.

"Lia! Merlin what is wrong with you tonight?"

I jolted back to the present, as Dani  raised her voice to get my attention. I blinked a few times seeing Dani's exasperated look and Neville behind her looking at me blankly. How long had I been lost in my own state of mind? "Were suppose to be studying!" Danielle reminded me, her tone masking the exasperation I expected she felt. Right studying, I had exams coming up. My grades, yes my grades were the most important thing. I heard a clatter coming down the stairs as I moved my textbook to sit more comfortably on my lap. I met both Harry and Hermione's feverish look. It was time, my stomach had jumped in my throat as I instantly got up to bid them goodbye. Danielle sent me a 'really??' look but I waved her off as she stuck a pencil in her mouth impatiently. I followed Harry and Hermione into the corner of the common room knowing we couldn't risk anyone overhearing this conversation. "Are you sure I cant come with you?" I ask anxiously, I didn't like harry and Hermione going alone. Me not knowing if they were okay with that dragon, it set me on edge. Especially with Ron getting bit and all because of that thing. "You already have a detention missy, we cant afford you getting another one." Harry replied, I understood what he was saying, I understood the first three times he had explained it to me. It was processing it, that was the problem. I decided to pick my battles and backed away from them. I didn't need to tell them to be safe and not get caught, I knew they were trying to do that anyways. "Don't get bit," I said instead which clearly sufficed for them. I had a feeling no one wanted Rons fate, that poor kid. They each sent me smiles before slipping out of the common room.

I took a deep breath, time to do the thing I really didn't want to do. Do you think if I didn't study I could still ace the exams? Nah I wasn't going to take that chance, knowing my luck, it wouldn't work. I plopped down next to Danielle again who was questioning Neville about Herbology, which was the only subject Neville was good at. We all seemed to have one that we were exceptional at. Mine was transfiguration, Danielle's was potions, Neville's was Herbology and Hermione's was all of them, Ron's was none of them. And harry I didn't really know what subject he was best at, huh I would have to pay closer attention. I had to read the same line over and over again, to understand it because my attention was so diverted. Which is why when I felt the couch shift under me as someone sat down I kept my eyes on the book. Trying to block out all distractions. My knee bobbed up and down, my urge to know who sat down too powerful. I finally gave in and cocked my head to the side meeting the mischevious green eyes of the one and only Fred Weasley. Ugh, of course Fred would come down here when I was trying to study. Just to annoy me no doubt.

My hair fell in my face as I swung my head around intending to ignore him and keep studying. That's when it started. The tapping, the incestent tapping, the tapping on his leg then the table. To a beat apparently he heard in his head. It didn't bother me that much, or so I tried to tell myself. Then it was his foot, as he bounced his knee his foot banged into the ground over and over again. My hand snaked out and I gripped his knee, keeping it in place. He gave me a curious look and I hoped I was telling him with my eyes that he was being abnoxious. I slowly lifted my hand off his knee, not daring to remove my eyes from his. He played off the incocent look, but I knew he was doing it on purpose. My landed back on my book when I thought the coast was clear. That's when the humming started, along with the bouncing knee, and the tapping. Until I was physically twitching. Instead of focusing on how annoying he was being, I concentrated on the song he was humming. My mouth curled up into a small smile when the song dawned on me. Another one bites the dust. "Will you stop that???" Danielle growled her eyes glaring daggers at fred. Clearly it had gotten on someone else's nerves as well. Neville looked like he was about to pass out from all the tension. And Fred noticed this. "Ya know Neville," he started. I heaved a sigh flipping my book closed, here we go. "We are Gryffindor men! We should not let these women treat us like this!" He had a broad grin on his face and his hands were raised like he was preaching to a bloody congregation. Neville looked like a dear caught in headlights and I almost felt bad for him. "Ya know Fred you shouldn't try to practice your speech skills on poor Neville just because your bored, and George can actually get a girlfriend." Fred gaped at my words and I regretted it seeing the look in his eyes. I had just fueled his fire. Yup, no more studying in my future. "Do you see what Im talking about Neville?!" He yelled in fake outrage. "Fred ya know.. maybe you shouldn't.." 
"What? Im sorry Neville I couldn't hear your mumbling. But back to what I was saying. We have a chance to be famous someday, and we shouldn't let these absent minded girls stop our creative ability, me and you Neville our years here will shape who we are as adults." He continued to preach, if he lives till he's an adult I thought begrudgingly. At this rate, I or Dani was going to throttle him. "You know if you don't study, your going to fail your exams, hence not graduating hogwarts, hence you not going anywhere with your life, hence why you should leave us alone so we can study." I tried to put in but the words seemed lost as he motioned for me to shush. I spared a glance at Danielle seeing her holding her head in her hands. "Oh please lord give me the strength not to choke the life out of this boy." That was enough to send me over the edge and I erupted into a fit of giggles. Fred seemed greatly perturbed by my laughing and stroked his invisible beard while turning full fledged to Neville.

"Its not always your words Neville, but your actions."

I never even saw it coming, as Fred whirled around having picked up a pillow from the couch and hit me square in the face with it. At first I just sat motionless as Fred looked at me completely amused. "PILLOW FIGHT!"

Danielle's declare of war sent my body into instinctive motion. It was an unspoken agreement that it was boys vs girls. I went straight for Fred slamming him right in the stomach with a pillow, as I retreated back he got me in the back of the head. Somehow Neville got roped in to, he was now diving to the ground as Dani swatted him repeatedly with a pillow. It all became a blur of smacks with the pillow and endless laughter. I lost my balance and toppled onto the couch, Fred didn't miss this opprotunity and climbed on top of me. Making sure to produce a torrent of hits, as I squirmed around begging for mercy. I finally was able to grasp my pillpow and gave him a good blow to the head, knocking him off me.

After that the lines became blurred and we all just started hitting each other. I got Dani's hair pretty frazzled and for a split second sent her to retreat up the stairs. She came back down of course and sneak attacked me by leaping onto my back. That  joined us together and with her still on my back we went after the boys.

It could have been an hour, or just a few minutes but it all stopped. I gazed around the room, all the feathers flying everywhere. The pillows in shambles. Everything was in slow motion as I saw the feathers drift through the air, making it seem almost serene. Danielle was clutching her stomach, her face a nice shade of bergundy. Fred was rolling around on the couch, wound up from his own not very manly like giggles. Neville was on his knees, pillow still in hand and the biggest smile on his face that I had ever seen. I hadn't seen that smile in weeks, and it overjoyed me that it had returned. It was in that moment, I threw my head back and laughed. A good hearted laugh. This is what my first year was suppose to be about, good friends, fun and laughter. I almost forgot all my worries, almost. Then Harry and Hermione  stumbled in the door. Oh yes, that brought my worries back. They looked utterly disturbed.

I dropped my pillow,  well well well, we are in trouble.
