Revenge

Written 29/8/2013

{Revenge}

As Fred stormed from the hospital wing with Cedric, all he had on his mind was revenge. No one attacked his girlfriend like that and got away with it. Cedric was right there with him. Crabbe's attack had left his sister in a coma for 2 weeks, he was seething. 'Where did you see George heading?' Fred asked as he walked. 'Courtyard.' Cedric answered shortly. He was right they found George in courtyard talking to Lee Jordan with a serious look on his face. 'George!' Fred called, his twin turned to face him. 'Cedric's told you then.' He looked between them. Fred nodded. 'Where's Crabbe? Do you know?' At this George smirked and smiled. 'Oh yes. Follow me brother. You coming Cedric?' Cedric was hesitant for a second, he was going against his natural instincts to stay out of trouble. 'Yes, I don't normally resort to....revenge....but she's my sister.' He scowled. The twins looked to each other. 'Come on then! Before we lose Crabbe to his common room.' The three of them hurried off before they were seen together, people would work it out if they spotted Cedric with the twins.

They found Crabbe walking alone along a dark corridor to the dungeons. 'Perfect.' The twins grinned together. Cedric stood nervously behind them, constantly looking over his shoulder. 'Do that one more time and I'm gonna stick your neck that way!' Fred hissed. Cedric turned sharply to face him, not saying a word but he shot him a harsh look. George rolled his eyes at the pair of them. 'He's on the move. Lets go.' They waited until Crabbe had passed slightly and jumped out in front of him. 'Alright Crabbe?' Fred remarked with a raised eyebrow. George stood arms crossed next to him. He looked between the pair. 'What are you doing down here?' He snapped. 'Oh I think you know.' Fred said calmly. Malfoy's top crony lifted his head high, smirking. 'Liked my little trick huh?' Fred's face turned angry. 'Trick? That wasn't a trick! You left a girl in a coma for two weeks!' He had taken a threatening step towards Crabbe without reasoning, he felt George tugging him back lightly. Crabbe laughed. 'She deserved it.' He stated. Cedric had been hiding in the shadows but at this he took a step behind Crabbe and lifted his wand. He had heard enough. 'That was my sister!' He snarled before lifting Crabbe from the ground, pressing him against the ceiling. The twins stood shocked at this move, but they soon got their wands out.

'Let me down!' Their victim squeaked scared from above them. 'Ok.' Cedric released his wand and Crabbe came crashing to the ground. Fred put a foot in his chest, his wand still pointing at his face. 'Why? Hmm? What did she do to deserve a bludger to the head?' He asked fiercely. Crabbe swallowed hard. 'You're team would be nothing without her. I'd like to see Potter get the snitch now and you still win the game without her goal tally.' Fred stepped harder on his chest. 'Did no one tell you? She's awake.' George said gleefully, loving the look on Crabbe's face. He fumbled for words. 'She's still missed games! You guys are losing.' He smirked. 'That may be so but now she'll help us catch up.' Fred stated. 'Tell me Crabbe...is detention worth the act? Are you having fun? ' 'So worth it. She needed bringing down a peg or two.' He spat. Fred bent down and grabbed Crabbe by his cloak and pinned him against the wall. 'You touch my girlfriend again and you'll be sorry. Got it?' He let Crabbe go when they heard footsteps. The three of them ducked into the shadows, until they passed. Crabbe smiled at his fellow Slytherins as they passed. He began to walk off when Fred froze him in place. 'Oh no you don't.' He whispered as they emerged from the shadows. 'Answer me.' He stared into Crabbe's eyes. 'Fine.' He mumbled. Fred, satisfied, began walking away leaving George to unfreeze him. Cedric and George joined Fred further down the hall. They looked back to find Crabbe laughing. The three of them flicked their wands together and Crabbe flew down the corridor and out of sight, they heard a crash in the far distance and decided to exit hastily.

Once in the safety of the entrance hall they slowed down. 'Don't worry Ced, we won't say you were there. Anertha will give you an alibi. Good moves by the way.' Fred smiled. 'Thanks.' He said before leading the way to hospital wing. 'He's still not going to be liking us anytime soon is he?' George muttered. Fred laughed. 'Not a chance. If it wasn't for Anertha, none of us would have to talk to each other.' He whispered back. They entered the hospital wing. Anertha sat up immediately when she saw them. 'Cedric? What did you do?' She frowned. The twins shrugged. 'You don't want to know. You will need to give Cedric an alibi though.' They smirked. Anertha's eyes opened wide as she looked to her brother. 'Why?' Her questions were answered when groans came from behind them. Followed by a badly beaten Crabbe and thunderous Snape. Anertha's mouth fell open in shock. 'You three.' Snape spoke to them. 'With me, now!' 'But sir...' Anertha stopped. The twins gave her a 'Go on' look. 'Cedric's been with me this whole time.' She prayed he believed her. He nodded one. 'Very well. You two...' He pointed to the door. The twins winked at her before following Snape out. She looked furious to Cedric. He shrank in the chair he was sat in. Clearly ashamed. She took hold of his hand and sighed. He didn't need a lecture for her right now, he punishing himself enough.
