Reality Bites Harry Potter

A Very (ab)normal Friday

This had to be the most boring Friday night ever! Susan had disappeared but Hannah told me not to worry which of course made me worry more! Even worse, I couldn't find my sister! It's bad enough Fred ditched me for Angelina, now half of my family ditched me too! I decide this could be good though. After all, I couldn't very well date prince charming if troll face hated me. "I'm going to find troll face" I tell Hannah and she looks at me like I've grown a second head. "Are you coming or not?" I ask and she jumps up, following me. It's really hard to find someone who you never voluntarily hang out with. We finally find him hiding in the library. "Hi George" I say brightly, smiling at him. He narrows his eyes at me. "Did that little brat send you?" he asks and I look at him confused. "What little brat? I thought I was the only little brat in your life" I tease and he rolls his eyes. "Trust me, I wish you were the only brat I had to deal with. You're actually easier to handle" he sighs. I sit down across from him. "What's up, buttercup?" I ask and he makes a face. "Cho Chang has been trying to hit on me all day. It's very irritating and I couldn't even eat my dinner without her and her gaggle of gits surrounding my table" I nod understandingly. "For future reference, you and Fred are more than welcome to sit at the gingerpuff table. I can scare the brats away" I say, batting my eyes at him. He rolls his eyes. "No offense, but you're about as scary as a newborn kitten" he says and I internally roll my eyes. "You'd be surprised. Just give me a chance" I say, smiling as I stand up. I head out and Hannah follows me. "Well, that was fun. Next time though, you could try actually including me" she snarks and I roll my eyes. "All you had to do was sit down next to us and you would've been included my little antisocial butterfly" she frowns. "Don't be a smart ass" she gripes and I smirk. "You love my ass, don't lie" I tease. Hannah rolls her eyes. "Whatever, dork" she mumbles as we head back to the dorms. When we get back to the dorms Susan is laying in bed. "Susan!" I yell, tackling her in a hug. "Where were you?! I was worried!" I say and she smiles sheepishly at me. "Blaise asked me out. It was last minute so I didn't have time to tell you" she says softly and I squeal excitedly. "Eardrums" Hannah gripes and I stick my tongue out at her. "Our innocent little baby just went on her first date and you're griping because your loudmouth best friend was loud. How rude" I say, embracing my inner Stephanie Tanner. Who the hell is Stephanie Tanner?! Stupid memories... Susan tells us all about her date and surprisingly Blaise is a proper romantic. It was sweet to see her so happy. Susan smiles. "I did see Fred and Angelina. They didn't exactly look happy. I wouldn't be surprised if he never goes out with her again" she says and I smile. "One day my prince will come. The idiots in tin foil always take the longest" I mumble. We decide to go to sleep. We wake up the next morning and for once I'm the last one awake. I decide not to mess with my hair today since nobody important will see me anyways until at least lunch and I can fix it by then. I throw it in the worlds messiest bun and we head down to breakfast. I'm halfway through eating my pancakes when I see a shadow over my head. "Mind if we sit?" Fred asks softly and I internally groan. Why does he have to choose today?! My hair looks like a birds nest, there's syrup on my shirt and I think I may have bacon in my teeth... ughhhhhh. "I take that groan as a no" Fred mumbles and I panic. "NO! I mean yes! I mean, you can sit with us. Please sit with us" I say and George scoffs. "Smooth, Harper. Smooth" he teases and I make a face. "Shut up before I tell Cho Chang where your secret hiding place is" I tease and he pales. "Sorry. Shutting up" he says, sitting down far enough down that Fred is stuck next to me. Fuck. My. Life. "Sooo... how are you?" Fred asks, smiling softly at me and I swear my stomach is on fire. Like seriously, who did this to me? Fred giggles and I sigh. Apparently I'm thinking out loud again. I get up and go to the bathroom, if only to find a moment of clarity to clean up. "My sister everybody" I hear Pyper say and I throw a middle finger over my shoulder as I walk out. I hear footsteps behind me and I sigh. "Fred hates me now doesn't he?" I mumble and I hear the footsteps stop. "No. Why would I hate you? That was actually kind of adorable. You're very cute when you're a hot mess" he teases. And... I faint. When I wake up I'm in the nurses wing and Pyper is sitting next to me. "Please tell me this morning didn't happen. Or at least if it did that Fred actually called me adorable and cute" I mumble and I hear a laugh. SERIOUSLY?! Is this guy ever gonna leave again? Do I ever want him to leave again? "Fred, do you mind if I ask why you were the one following me earlier? I'm used to Hannah or Susan checking up on me when I make a dramatic exit" He smiles at me. "I was worried you might have been upset we sat with you. I wanted to make sure everything was ok. Now I realize what the problem is. You like George" he says and I panic. "ummmmm not exactly" I say fast and he looks confused. "My sister needs her sleep. Goodbye" Pyper says, basically pushing him out of the room. Once he is safely gone she turns to glare at me. "You are NOT making important romantic decisions with a concussion! You are on bedrest the rest of the day. If you still want to tell Fred in a week we will discuss it. Not before" Pyper says and I frown. "Tell Snapeypoo I said hi" I mumble before going back to sleep.
