Everything About You

Cinco

"Have you tried washing it off?" Arthur turned to his older brothers, tears welling under his eyes and nodding. "Oh man." Mark passed his hand through his hair as Arthur once again dried his face and let out a frustrated groan before turning to John.

"You said it would come out!" Arthur got more of the soap and scrubbed his face once again. "It got into my eye!" Mark got ahold of his little brother's head before John got his wand and got water to eject from his water right on his eye. The floor had started to flood and the paint was still not off.

"I knew you shouldn't have trusted those twins. Arthur looks like a tomato from head to toe!" John exclaimed as Arthur washed his face once again.

"Are you saying this was my fault?" Mark crossed his arms and shook his head.

"Well, who else can I blame," Arthur screamed as the paint continued to stay on his face. "It was your idea and you knew very well it was going to happen!" The youngest brother paused before throwing the towel at him. Mark put his hands up, trying to get some cover, but it was no use as Arthur threw another one towards another part of the body.

"You knew this was going to happen?!" Arthur yelled at Mark before, grabbing more towels. "I look like a bloody carrot because of you!" John snickered at the back before Arthur had turned his heel and started to throw towels at him as well. "You too! I can't believe you two! I can't show my face to the school anymore! Thanks, a lot!" Arthur grabbed a towel and stormed into his dormitory before the entire common room had sat quietly after the sound of a slamming door.

"If he tells dad, we're dead." John and Mark share a look before running down the hall into the dorms, hoping that Arthur had no access to. "Arthur open the door."

"We're sorry!"

"No!"

The rest of the school year was never going to top that one experience. Arthur had finally gotten off the pigment from his face a month after. He was the top of Gryffindor news, he just wished that the attention was back at other matters such as the next game instead of the faint stains that remained on his hands. Arthur decided that the best thing he could do to distract himself was all his products. After he had sent a letter to his mother about the pride incident, Cedrella had sent him some children paint. One that was washable, but safe for the skin. It had Arthur on the edge, but he trusted his mother not to prank him with the same thing once again.

Mark and John worked around the wall that their brother had built for them. To gain Arthur's trust was not easy even if he seemed like the boy that would trust almost anyone with anything. They had learned the hard way when they lost the trust. Arthur did not speak about what their mother had sent them and did not plan on telling what their punishment would be for embarrassing their younger brother. The other set of redheads did not show their face to him, making Arthur wonder where they had gone after the whole pride incident.

It was no surprise to Molly that her brother had once again gotten into detentions, just weeks before going home. Professor Slughorn was not impressed at the twins when he had noticed that many of his pigment powders had gone missing and eventually connect Arthur's face incident with the missing powders. Billius smiled as he saw his sister work on her homework right in front of the fire.

"You ready to go home, Molly?"

"I think so. I would want summer to end as soon as possible." She said, smiling yet not stopping her progress in her homework. "Did you give the brothers the antidote?"

"I did, what was it?" Molly put down her quill and faced her older brother before shrugging.

"Just some baby oil."

"Baby oil? Did you mail mum?" Molly nodded and smiled. "You're like a little secret hero for the boy. How much do you like him, Molly?"

"I don't know, Billy. I'm only 11. I wouldn't know, but I know what thing for sure." Billius chuckled and sat next to his sister before checking over her homework.

"And what is that?"

"With Gideon and Fabien in this school, poor Weasley brothers." Molly and Billius turn their heads as the twins entered, complaining about the pain on their wrist and knees. Molly giggled before beginning to wonder what her second year would bring. Without Billius to keep her sane after that, she knew that her brother was going to be in for a scowling. Fabian and Gideon made eye contact with her and without another word said between the siblings, the twins made their way to their dormitories.

The morning to leave home, there was a small note on the table. Molly had, as usual, forgotten her ink container and smiled as she saw the writing of the boy she had helped.

My knight in shiny armour,

I don't know who you are, but thank you.

If only the soothing oil could get rid of stains on a reputation.

See you next term!

- A.W.

"Molly you ready, sis?" She slowly folded the paper and put it in the pocket of her skirt before facing Fabian, nodding and following him out of the common room.
