In All Seriousness ~ A Fred Weasley FanFic

Chapter 8

I walked into the hallway to the twin's room. I knocked on their door. The door was cracked and the lights were off. They must be asleep. I guess I'll just sneak in there real quiet and set in on Fred's nightstand. 

I quietly open the door and tip-toe over to Fred's nightstand. I set it down and turn around to leave. All of a sudden I felt someone's grip on my wrist. I let out a little yelp. "Shhh!" Fred whispered. he was lying in his bed, shirtless, but with the covers pulled up. 

"W-what are you doing?" I whispered. "The better question is, what are you doing?" he asked. "I was returning this, you must've droppe it when you were in the bathroom earlier. It was in my clothes pile." I explained. "Ohh" he whispered. "Well, that makes sense." he smirked. "What?" I asked smiling. "I dunno." he said. 

"Well, I'm going to bed, goodnight." I whispered. I go to turn around but I was stopped. "Hey, you're...you're still holding my wrist." I said bashfully. "Oops, s-sorry." he said, letting go. "Goodnight Fred." I whispered. "Goodnight." he whispered. 

I walk out of his bedroom and shut their door behind me. I went back to me and Ginny's room. "What took you so long?" she asked as I closed the door behind me. I walked over to my bed and got under the covers.

Oh, Fred caught me." I said. We laughed. "Good job. Well, I'm going to bed." she said. "But you are in bed." I said sarcastically. "You know what I mean." she said laughing. We turned off our lamps and exchanged goodnights. I fell asleep quickly.

I felt someone pushing my shoulder. "Ugh, what do you want." I mumbled. I pulled the covers tighter over me. "We need to leave soon, hurry up and get ready." I heard George say. "Fine." I said, pulling off the covers.  "Be down in 15 minutes." he said leaving. "Okie." I replied. 

I look over and Ginny was already out of bed. I put on a grey sweater, a black skirt, white high-top chucks, and the bracelet Ginny gave me. I brushed my wavy hair and my teeth. 

I ran downstairs and grabbed some bacon. "Emily, plate please." Molly said. "Oops, sorry." I said, now eating over the sink. "I said plate, not sink." Molly said chuckling. "Same thing." I replied. We all laughed. 

"Oh, your father and Ginny are going to run some errands and Percy already has his supplies  and wants to stay home, so it'll just be Ron, the twins, and Emily with me today, okay kids?" Molly asked. "Yeah, sounds good." everyone agreed.

George came up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Are you excited for Hogwarts?" he asked me. "Yeah, a little nervous too though. I mean, all these people who have been brought up by wizards and witches and...and know so much about magic and I know nothing! I mean, am I going to fit in? Or will I do really bad in school? Or...or..." he stopped me. "You'll be fine. Remember, there's other witches and wizards there who are Muggle-born. Just stay with me, Fred, George, and even Percy and you'll be okay, don't worry." he said reassuringly. 

"But, what if I don't get sorted into Gryffindor?" I ask nervously. He lightly squeezed my shoulder. "It doesn't matter if you're in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Hufflepuff; we'll still hang out with you and make sure you're happy." he said. "Thanks George." I said smiling.

"Okay kids?" mum asked. We all agreed. Maybe I should go talk to Emily about Hogwarts, she must be nervous. I look over to Emily but George was already talking to her about it. Oh boy, he's holding her shoulder, that's physical contact omigosh! Unfair!
