Innocently in Love: Fred Weasley Fan Ficiton

She wants to kill me!

I woke up the next morning and looked at my hand. "I will not disobey the Official Quidditch Rules" was a wine red scab that disgraced me from my favorite sport. I wore a long sleeve black shirt under my robes so I could cover my hand till it became unnoticeable. I just hoped it was gone by Saturday which was our first Quidditch match. I went downstairs to meet up with the guys. 

"Hello, my fair lady!" George said offering me his hand. My line was supposed to be "Why, Thank you kind gentleman." But I really didn't feel like joking around so I just smiled and walked past him. George dropped his hand. 

"What's with you?" Fred said. 

"Nothing." I shrugged and headed down to potions. Another miserable day in Snape's class and when we entered Umbridge's class I didn't speak once, and I was even able to hold in laughter when Fred and George "accidentally" dropped their books at the same time. 

"What's wrong with you!? You were supposed to be in on that book drop." Fred asked irritated. 

"I just don't want to get in trouble, okay!" I said overly angry. 

"Since when have you been afraid of getting into trouble?" Lee asked. 

"Since I had to engrave lines on my hand for three hours!!" I said and stormed off to lunch with many stares from other students in the hallway. I sat with Callie for the rest of the day and when the final bell rang I dashed to the common room to get ready for Quidditch practice. I got dressed in baggy clothes and put on gloves even though I knew it would affect my game, but I really didn't care. I jogged to the field instead of my normal balcony flight. 

"Good to have you back Gwen!" Harry greeted me. I smiled then asked, 

"Who's the new Keeper and Chaser?" 

Harry smiled and said, "Ginny Chaser and Ron Keeper." 

We did basic drills and I did horrible just as I suspected. Ginny and Ron were perfect and Lee was practicing commentating but stopped when Umbridge came out onto the field. 

"Yes Professor?" Harry asked abandoning his search for the snitch. 

"Nothing dear. Just checking." She said looking at me and my bare scarred hand for Harry made me take off the gloves. She sat in the stands for the rest of our practice so I hurried inside as fast as I could abandoning Fred, George, and Lee once it was over. We were supposed to be paying younger kids to try our products, but I was too nervous about getting caught. I didn't know why. Pain never stopped me before so I didn't think it was that. Maybe I was afraid of what I might have to have permanently engraved on my hand. 
I was studying for our Charms test tomorrow when the guys came in. 

"Where were you? Did you forget about our guinea pigs?" Fred asked trying to make me laugh. I shrugged and went back to studying. 

"I can't stand it anymore! I want you back to your old self! Now!" George said seriously. 

"What are you scared of? Umbridge?" Lee asked. 

"I just don't want to write something I'm going to regret like this." I said lifting up my right hand. 

"We won't let that happen to you again. Will you regret, "I will not test Puking Pastils on mental Slytherins."?" Fred said. 

"Or how about "I will not get into tomfoolery with the Weasley's."?" Lee added. 

"We won't let her hurt you again." George promised. My real half-smile came on my face and I knew I was back and ready for action. 
I got a perfect score on my Charms test and I was ready for are Quidditch Match tomorrow. 

"Hey! Gwen! We got to get some kids to try the Laughy Taffee. I think it'll last for longer now." George said as we went back to our dorms to get cleaned up for dinner. 

"Alright. Let's wait till we get finished eating. I'm starving!" I said. He looked disappointed but then brightened up shortly after. 

"May I escort you to supper my darling?" he asked offering me his arm. 

"Gladly." I said hooking my arm through his. My heart skipped a beat, but I just ignored it. We skipped down the hall singing random songs with plenty of stares and I heard a hem hem. My heart stopped and George's eyes widened and we turned around to only see Fred and Lee looking at us. 

"Gotcha!" he said. 

"I'll murder you guys!" I screamed and I was about to punch those smug grins off their faces when George muttered, 

"Hold it." and grasped my shoulder. I looked to see Umbridge turning the corner. All of us started walking to the Great Hall and she just stared at us until we were out of sight. 

"She wants to kill me!" I said. 

"Chill out. Harry got lines the other day too. It's not like she has a grudge against you." Fred said.

"I'm not so sure." I said helping myself to some chicken. Fred rolled his eyes. I watched as Umbridge walked her seat at the table staring at me. I looked away and finished my supper.
