A Troublesome Pair

A Walk Outside

It's 7:00 am and no one else is awake except a few others. But why wake up so early when classes don't start till the beginning of next week. It's nice that they give us the rest of the week to get settled in and stuff so we will be ready by the time class starts. I can't sit still for more than a few minutes at a time so I get up and get ready for the day.
I come back to the room and (y/f) is still asleep. I don't want to stay in here any longer than I have to. But I don't want to wake her. I decide to go for a walk along the grounds by myself.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
If is surprisingly not too cold outside. A good temperature to talk a walk in. I only see about a few dozen other people around. Makes sense, they must not like to be in one place for too long either. I'm glad though, it's not too quiet and yet not too loud.
I leave the inside of the castle so I can go over by the lake. It's one of the best places to chill if you're in the mood to stay away from civilization and gain multiple bug bites. But that's not why I am going. I just like the scenery.
I skip a few rocks on the surface of the water enjoying the calmness and lack of drama. When I from behind me I hear someone laugh. No, two people. That laugh was unmistakable. I had to hide before I regret coming to the lake. "Agjfiwkfidndi!!!" I think to myself, there's nowhere to hide except- no im not doing that. There is no way I am climbing that tree. It's way too dangerous and I don't even like to climb trees.
I hear their voices getting louder so I start to panic, it's my only option. I rest my foot on a stone for a boost into the tree. I heave myself up and begin to climb up higher so that they won't be able to see me with all the branches in the way.
I don't know why but I begin to hold my breath, feeling as though I am invisible. ' If i fall and die, Im going to kill those guys!' I think to myself. I hear their voices get louder and louder as they approach, when finally I feel like they're only a few feet from the tree. Then I hear them get quieter. They must be walking away.
I linger in the tree for a moment just to make sure they're gone. After about a minute I figure I'm safe. So I let out a sigh a bit louder than I anticipated.
" Oi! (y/n)! You enjoying the scenery up there?!" I hear one of them yell, it caught me off guard they must've been waiting down there. I lose my balance and fall out of the tree. "Holy Cra-aaahhhh!!" I scream as I fall, expecting to hit the ground. But instead I was caught. I open my eyes to see Fred holding me.
" Well I don't think that is the best way to get down from such a high height." He laughed.
" Well it's your fault I fell from the tree." I scoff.
They both let out a small laugh. "Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't think we'd scare you that bad" George replied.
" It's fine, no harm is done." I say as I release myself from Fred's grip. " The worst that could've happened was me going to the hospital wing."
" Now we wouldn't want that now would we?!"
" No, we wouldn't. If that were to happen I would come find you and cut off your hands. Both of you!" I warn as I point at them hoping that way they'd get the point.
" Woah! Didn't expect you to start threatening us now!" George laughs.
" Yeah, I mean I did just catch you."
They had a point..." Well I guess you didn't want me to fall outta that tree, it just kinda happened." I mutter under my breath.
" See now, all is good. We're all understood."
" Well Im glad that now I get to keep my hands..." I let out a small giggle,"Hey I never said that!"
"Wait you're still going to take my hands?"
I laugh, " You better be careful!"
We begin to walk back to the castle. They probably started breakfast already. It is pretty late in the morning. "So, do you always threaten guys who save you from falling out of trees?" Fred asks jokingly.
" Oh yeah all the time!" I roll my eyes.
They continue to ask me stupid questions till we walk through the entryway of the dining hall. " What about their feet? Why do you only want to cut their feet?"
"Here I gotta question for you, why do you only have pointless questions?" I laugh, they laugh as well. Knowing that I was right. None of those questions would help us later on.
" I hate to admit it, but I actually didn't have a horrible time with you guys today." I tell them.
" Hey you hear that Fred? She likes us now!"
"Hey slow your role, I never said that."
Fred leans forward so only I can hear, " You don't have to. I can see it in your eyes." Then with that said they walk away to join the rest of the Gryffindors.
"(Y/n)!" I turn to see (y/f) waving at me patting the spot on the bench next to her. " I saved you a spot." I sit down beside her,
"thanks."
" Never mind that! Did I just see you walk in here with Fred and George?!" She whisper shouts at me. "Oh, yeah." I respond.
" 'oh yeah'?! That's all you have to say about it? I wanna know what happened!" She whined.
"Shh! Before someone hears you!"
She gave me a puppy dog face, as if she were begging me to tell her. "Fine. Nothing happened, I was by the lake, climbed a tree, fell out, Fred caught me, we walked here end of story."
"- Wait did you just say he caught you?"
"Yeah, don't make a big deal outta it, it doesn't matt-"
" Squee!! I ship it!" She screams causing people on our table and the tables around us to look at us. "(Y/f)!"
"What?"
"Be a bit louder! Please I beg of you."
" I'm sorry. It's just so cute!!"
" No it's not, anyone would've done it."
"Not me."
"What?! But I'm your best friend!"
" Yeah, but Im not heroic enough to save someone from a tree. I can't even save my ice cream from falling onto the ground."
"This is true..." I sigh.
After listening to (y/f) fangirl over everything that just happened I do get a bit curious and turn around. I scan through groups of people till I find him. Just as you would guess, he's looking right at me. He winks at me then goes back into whatever conversation he was just having with his friends.
Could he like me? Would he like me? Why do I care? Oh no, do I like him? This is not happening. I can't like him! First of all, he's always joking, never can take anything seriously. And second, we're in two different houses. And lastly, I cannot do this to myself. Boys are trouble and I can't get caught up in this type of stuff.
"(Y/n)!"
"Ah! Bro?"
" Weren't you listening to me? I was asking you when you wanted to go to the library today?" I look at her still as if I am confused. "The library?" I ask, looking over my shoulder at Fred. " Yeah, when do you want to go?"
" Um, how about you just go, I'll catch up with you later..." I say. She shrugs, " Alright. See you later." She stands and leaves as I sit and wait for the single twin to stand up and leave.

~ Freds POV~
I can't help but notice that all of (y/n)'s friends are leaving the table while she just sits there. Every once and a while she will look at me but once she notices I am looking right back at her she turns away. It's not too hard to figure out that she is waiting for me to leave so she can follow. She must want me alone, because she only looks at me, not George. But it's not that often me and him are separated, in fact it's quite rare. But I guess this one time I'll try to humor her. I stand up," I'm going to go to the restroom. No need to follow. I'll be back in a second." I say.
"Um, alright..." George says a bit confused.
"Have fun."
" Oh I will." I laugh as I walk away.
What exactly am I getting myself into...
