For The Love of Pranks! I Love You!

This Doesn't Help..

I don't know how long I was up here, attempting to calm down, just trying not to think about things. I just can't believe Harry would stoop so low and talk about things he doesn't even know about...

I find myself staring at the sunset wishing my family wasn't so broken, that we could just be happy like when I was little. I hear footsteps behind me but don't bother to turn around, not wanting to talk to anyone. I'm pulled into a strong chest and realize Fred followed me here, and I'm glad he did. I bury myself into his chest immediately calming me down.

"It's gonna be alright Love. He'll understand."

"But what if he doesn't? He's like family and he wants nothing to do with me.. Maybe I should've told him, maybe he wouldn't be so angry if I had told him.." He's now rubbing my back trying to comfort me.

"He's just overwhelmed and doesn't know the truth. I'm sure once he knows, everything will be fine, and it's Harry, he might've reacted the same way. You never know. This isn't your fault Evelyn."

"But he won't even listen to me.. And I just-" I close my eyes and slowly relax as I inhale Fred's mesmerizing scent. And realizing Harry is as stubborn as I am so I'll just have to wait until he calms down and hope he'll listen.

"Hey everything will work out for the best okay? Don't worry so much Love."

I nod my head into his chest realizing he's right and there isn't much I can do. We sit up here a while longer just enjoying each other's company, watching the stars.

"D'you realize this years almost over? A couple more matches, our birthdays, exams and then we all go home." I mutter suddenly knowing it's true and that I won't be seeing Fred as often as I want.

"Hey" he slightly shakes me out of my depressing thoughts. "We'll see each other this summer, Mum loves having you and Remus over. Especially since Remus can't cook to save you both." And we laugh cuz it's so true. I usually have to cook or Molly sends us food, it's  pretty bad.

"I guess I didn't think about that. I just realized I wouldn't be seeing you everyday..." He lifts my chin with his thumb and forefinger making my eyes met his, grey into hazel.

"Don't worry Evelyn. We can get through the summer, it'll be easy we'll figure it all out. Now will you just enjoy the fact that term is almost over!" He chuckles and it makes me smile.

"Of course Love." And with that I lift my lips to meet his in a sweet lingering kiss.

The next couple weeks go by uneventful and it's March, a month away from the boys' birthdays and two until mine. We're all at dinner in the Great Hall and Harry still won't  talk to me, but I just act like it doesn't bother me.

We're all talking about the upcoming Quidditch match as we head back to the common room when we run into each other on the stairs.

"What's going on?" Ron asks from beside us and we all shrug not knowing.

"Maybe Neville's forgotten the password again." An there's an angry 'Hey!' From behind Ron, which happened to be Neville...

At that point the twins start pushing their way forward, Fred dragging me with him by our intertwined hands. We all stop short when we reach the portrait, no longer holding the Fat Lady but instead ripped to shreds by what looks like claws...

"Mr Filch! Please gather the ghost and find the Fat Lady to see who did this to her." Dumbledore says in calm while the rest of us chatter in surprise.

"No need for the ghosts Sir. She's right over here." We all run to face the direction Flich was talking about to find the Fat Lady hiding behind a hippo whimpering to herself.

"My dear lady, who did this to you?" Dumbledore asks politely trying to calm down her hysterics.

"Eyes black as his name! Absolutely mad he is!" She screeches and Dumbledore stays calm hoping she'll just finish her thoughts we all lean in closer wondering who would have done this.

"It was him Headmaster! The one they all talk about! Sirius Black!" She finished with a wail. At this my blood chills and I don't even realize Fred has pulled me close into his side, and the murmurs of everyone fades in the back and I can't really focus on anything.

"Every Gryffindor back to the Great Hall, the Prefects will escort you."

I blindly trail behind Fred, glad I'm still connected by his hand otherwise I probably would've been swallowed up by the crowd. Why would my dad want into the common room? He doesn't want to hurt Harry so why else would he be here? There's no logical reason for him to get into the tower... I keep mulling these thoughts over until my shoulder is roughly shoved and I look over to see Harry glaring at me.

"Hey watch it mate!" Fred hisses at him, but he calms when I place my hand on his arm.

"This is all your fault." And that's all he says before catching up to his friends and entering the Great Hall, which is now covered in sleeping bags for us to stay the night in.

I settle in between Fred and George, not saying a word just wanting to escape all these problems, hoping for sleep to just swallow me.
I lay staring at the dark, starry ceiling not being able to sleep when I feel a hand grasp mine and realize that Fred is still up as well. He doesn't say anything but gives my hand a reassuring squeeze and finally I am able to drift into sleep, but planning to visit my father tomorrow..
