Enchanted [Fred Weasley]

Eighty-Seven

"Emily, you need to go to the doctor!" Ben cried. Emily glared at him.

"I don't have to do anything! I'm fine!" Emily protested.

"You're not! You have the same illness Anna had! You went to a Healer right away, but then you went missing! I found a letter saying you had a feeling this would happen and that I shouldn't tell Grace because she would look for you! You're safe now Emily, you need to go back to the Healer. I don't care if you felt fine. What if you died too? Do you know how heartbroken Grace would be? She already lost her mother she can't lose you too!" Emily sighed.

"You're so over dramatic, Benjamin! I sometimes wonder what my dear sister saw in you. But I guess you're right. Now come on, we have a Healer to visit." Emily said, standing up. Ben smiled proudly as he knew he had one the battle. Emily noticed this.

"Don't get too proud, Ben. I'll get you back for this."

Grace sat across from the Slytherin. Her face was cold and her grey eyes blazing with fury. Her head was held high as she stared at the boy. She had agreed to meet him in Hogsmede the first trip back. His dark brown hair was a little longer and messier. His ocean blue eyes still filled with warmth like they were when she first met him.

"Lewis," Grace sneered.

"Grace, I know you hate me, but just hear me out!" He pleaded.

"If I didn't agree to hear you out I wouldn't of showed up," Grace said. Lewis nodded slowly.

"That's very true," he said. Grace chuckled and brought the buttebeer up to her lips.

"You're laughing?" He asked.

"When something funny happens that's usually what I do," Grace said. She set the drink down and smiled at the boy. "Lewis, I don't hate you. I hated you when you broke up with me, but I got over it. I couldn't hate you because your feelings changed. There's nothing you could've done about that. Sure, there was a nicer way of saying it, but still. Feelings do what they please." Lewis smiled back at Grace.

"You're right. I shouldn't have just told you I didn't love you anymore, at least not like that. It's a big thing that I should've told you in a long discussion, not just a sentence. I also want to apologize for something else," Lewis confessed.

"And what's that?"

"The way I treated your relationship with the twins. You're a loyal person Grace, I knew they were just friends. Well, now one of them is more then friends. But in the moment it wasn't like that. I shouldn't have gotten so jealous and mean about it. I'm sorry, Grace." Grace smiled and nodded at him.

"You're forgiven, Lewis," she told him.

"So, I wouldn't say we'd be friends, but we're at least on good terms, right?" He asked. Grace stared at him for a moment.

"I'd like to say yes to that," she finally said.

"Lewis!" A girl called. Lewis looked at her then back at Grace.

"This went well and I'm glad we're on good terms, but I have to go," Lewis said. Grace smiled at him again.

"Bye, Lewis," she said. Lewis walked off towards the girl. He grabbed her hand and they walked out together. After a few minutes Grace stood up and put her jacket back on. She walked out of The Three  Broomsticks and out into the cold air.

"There you are!" Fred cried, appearing next to Grace.

"Where's George?" She asked.

"With Julia."

"Are those two a couple yet? It's so confusing!" Grace exclaimed. Fred shrugged.

"The two have flirted so much you think they would've been a long time ago! But they just became a couple in October," Fred informed.

"There's something I have to tell you," Grace said, looking up at Fred. "I talked to Lewis." Fred tensed up, but kept walking. Grace looked ahead of her.

"What did he say?" Fred asked.

"He just wanted to apologize for ending our relationship so rudely. He also apologized for the way he treated me when after I always hung out with you and George. He's seemed to change since last year. More mature, I guess. He also seems to have a new girlfriend."

"That's....nice," Fred said. His voice laced with a familiar tone. Grace stopped and scoffed.

"What is it with boys and jealousy? It's ridiculous!" She cried. Fred didn't want to see Grace get angry, so he apologized immediately.

"Sorry," he said quickly. Grace walked to him and grabbed his hands.

"Fred, it's not like you have anything to worry about! It's not like I still love him! I love you, Fred. I love you," Grace confessed. Fred smiled back at Grace.

"I love you too."
