Enchanted [Fred Weasley]

Thirty-Three

Grace once again found herself alone as she walked down the corridor. A thunderstorm raged outside. Grace couldn't help but think about the Dementors outside the castle.

For the past week she chose to forget about them, or at least try. The memory started on the train, after she left Lewis to sit by herself.

The train stopped and the lights shut off. Grace remembered feeling cold and helpless. She forgot what it was like to be happy and all she wanted to do was cry. Her teeth chartered as she gripped her wand.

Now, the things were outside the castle, day and night. Grace wasn't very fond of that idea. Sirius Black wouldn't even be able to get into the castle.

As she walked down the corridor, she listened to what other students had to say. She heard them talk about the Dementors, Sirius Black, and some talked about the homework they didn't do.

"It's just absurd!" Someone cried as they turned the corner. Grace stopped and looked at her.

"Grace." The girl said with a hopeful voice. Her body straightened, waiting for Grace's reply. Grace might've asked why she seemed so excited to see her, but Grace didn't notice the signs.

"Aspen." Grace replied flatly. Aspen's body seemed to slouch and her smile fell. Any hope in her eyes left.

Cedric Diggory stood next to Aspen, his eyes darted back and forth between the two. Aspen had told him of the troubles between her and Grace. Aspen said she felt bad and wanted to apologize, but obviously Grace wasn't in the mood for apologizes. Cedric decided to prevent anything from getting worse.

"Aspen." He said, tapping her shoulder. The girl looked up at him.

"Yeah?"

"Remember, we have to hurry or we'll be late."

"Right, bye Grace."

"Bye." Grace said coldly and watched as Cedric and Aspen walked down the corridor.

"What was that for?" Aspen snapped at Cedric once they were away from Grace.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play stupid! We have nothing to go to, so why did you say we did?"

"If you knew we had nothing to attend why did you play along?" Aspen's glare hardened.

"I don't find you funny. Why did you say it?"

"Because Grace didn't look like she was in the mood for an apology." Aspen didn't say anything. She just stomped away from Cedric.

Fred and George sat patiently, waiting for their prank to take action. Students passing didn't seem to take notice in the twins pranking. Most hurried off to get away from possible destruction.

"Hello, Grace." George greeted. Fred quickly noticed the stone like look on the Ravenclaws face.

"Rough day?" He asked. Grace shook her head and walked towards the two.

"More like rough week." Fred and George glanced at each other. Grace's friend Ashton had told them about Grace's week. George rested his arm on Grace's shoulder.

"You could always stay and watch us pull a prank on some Slytherins."

"Who is this prank on?"

"Harley and some of her friends." Fred smiled and rested his arm on Grace's other shoulder. It was normally on someone else, but Fred assumed Grace would enjoy pranking Harley. Besides, they had to go this way to get to the Slytherin common room.

"What is the prank?"

"Well," George lifted a dungbomb up to show Grace. "The last prank in the package you gave us." A smile formed on Grace's face.

"Alright then, let's do it."

The three teenagers were all crouched by an empty classroom, George had the dungbomb in his hand.

"I can't believe him!" A familiar voice cried.

"Harley." All three whispered.

"Here we go." George tossed the dungbomb into the corridor.

"What's that?" At this, Grace's eyes widened.

"No, no, no!" Grace got up to run towards the Slytherins, but it was too late. The Slytherins were once again covered in the awful stench.

"Grace, we have to go!" Fred cried. It took Grace a moment before she turned to run.

"Grace?" Someone cried. Grace bit her lip and turned around. She knew it was him.

"Hi." Grace waved and then put her hands behind her back. His ocean eyes were filled with anger.

"Really? What is this to you? Some game!" Lewis shouted. Harley rolled her eyes.

"Told you she was too shallow to apologize. Knew she would do something stupid like this!" Harley yelled.

"I didn't know it would be you!" Grace mentioned, walking towards Lewis. He just backed away from her. "Lewis please, it was just a prank! A harmless prank."

"Tell that to our robes." Harley muttered.

"Grace," Fred walked up and grabbed Grace by the wrist. "We should go." Grace gave Lewis one long look before she nodded and walked away from the Slytherins.

Sorry for such a long wait! I also apologize for the past few chapters being pretty boring.
