Blue Belle {Fred Weasley}

Chapter 34

The next day was Slytherin vs Ravenclaw for Quidditch. Students and teachers gathered in the stands ready to watch, suited and booted in colours that represent who they were supporting, Luna and Belle very noticeable in the crowd due to the large eagle hats they were sporting which Luna had made. They both had scarfs tied around their necks and gloves covering their hands with banners ready to wave. George spotted Belle from across the other side of the pitch and nudged his brother pointing at Belle. The pair waved in her direction grinning at her which she returned and turned to Luna talking about what they hoped would happen. 

"We've got to win, they're nothing compared, to Cho Chang, Roger Davies, Randolph Burrow, Jeremy Stretton, Jason Samuels, Duncan Inglebee and Grant Page. Nothing, Malfoy has no Quidditch talent in him, how he got on the team who knows. Flint, yeah he's good but the rest are only good at throwing people off of their brooms."

"Not to mention their heads are full of wrackspurts." Luna said airily, "No wonder they can't concentrate in class."

Belle snorted, "I don't think that is the complete reason Montague can't concentrate, his eyes are glued to the back of Emiline Yule's rear end. In class he is constantly staring at her licking his lips, it's revolting."

Luna's nose scrunched up, "Horrific boy."

Despite Ravenclaw were narrowly defeated by Slytherin Belle still enjoyed the match courtesy of Lee's tremendous commentating. She couldn't help but chortle when he commented how that Flint must be going 'for size rather than talent'when selecting his team members.

 Luna skipped off after the match to go talk to Professor Dumbledore about some creatures in the school and how they are affecting the air. This left Belle alone before she was joined with the usual suspects, Fred using his usual arm over the shoulder gesture to greet her. "Nice hat... "Lee commented staring at it in a slightly disturbing way. 

"Luna made it," Replied Belle stroking the feathers that clearly belonged to a hippogriff. "I like it, it's different."

"Like you then, Bella,"Fred smirked as the group entered the halls. "But, it is strange." Belle laughed as they neared the Ravenclaw tower, she glanced at the riddle and mentally facepalmed. 

Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?  

"Er, Belle aren't you going to answer it?" Questioned George from behind the girl. 

She bit her lip and glanced up at Fred, "I-uh-I don't know the answer. I feel as if it's really easy but I just can't get it."

Fred rubbed her arm, "It's alright, let me have a look-nope no clue, next."

Fortunately, Remus was strolling past as they stood there. Belle looked from left to right to see if anyone was close by which was nobody and hissed at her father, "Dad? Cna you help, please."

Remus nodded and stepped past George and Lee but before he looked at the riddle he pulled Fred's arm off of his daughter and nudged him to the side so that he wad between them, glaring at the boy in the process. George, Lee and a new voice giggled at his action and everyone turned to see Professor Parker, "Lord almighty Lupin, I should've known you would act like this. What is everyone doing crowding the Ravenclaw towers entrance, the only Ravenclaw here is Belle?"

Remus rolled his eyes and whispered the answer to his daughter who groaned, "I knew it would be easy! A bloody coffin! It's so obvious."

Fred also sighed, "Who makes these?"

Remus shrugged and turned to the boy, "Hands to yourself or its a detention."

The boys' eyes widened, "That's not fair, I only had my arm around her shoulders."

"Yes, but she is my daughter and I do not want boys doing that to her. Now am I clear?"

"Crystal, sir." Fred saluted as the entrance appeared and the boys along with Belle entered the tower.

Madison turned to her friend an amused smile on her face, "Unbelievable, mother Remus of the Marauders. It's not like you didn't do that to me as a kid." 

"That was different," Remus grumbled as the pair walked towards Madison's quarters which were close by. 

"How so?"

"You're like my sister, and he is a horny teenage boy, and troublemaker."

"I do believe that you were both of those once too, mister, you fucked that girls' mother at seventeen, he's only two years younger than what you were,"Madison smirked poking his cheek. 

"He better not be doing anything like that to my daughter!" Remus sun on his heel and back towards the knocker saying the answer to the riddle and letting himself in. Madison followed in amusement. They found Belle, now without the eagle hat on her head sitting beside Fred his arm back around her shoulders and Lee and George playing exploding snap. "What did I say, Weasley? Detention, my office tonight at six. Now out!"

"D-you can't do that!" Belle exclaimed, "We're only playing exploding snap."

"Yes, but he has his arms around you."

"In a friendly gesture, look I'll do it to George and Lee!" Belle jumped up and wrapped her arms around the other two. "See, it means nothing."

Remus nodded in defeat, "Fine, but anything further, and it will be a detention." 

Fred nodded as did Belle before the two Professors exited the tower, Madison laughing at Remus claiming that he was over-reacting and she didn't say that they were fucking. "He thought what?" Lee cried in laughter as Belle sat back down next to Fred who was as pale as a ghost. "Oh, I love him."

"Ew." Belle cringed. 

"Not in that way! Dirty, dirty girl! Honestly, woman."

George wiped his tears of laughter from everything that was going on. Belle snickered as did Lee but George couldn't help but notice Fred's attention distancing from reality since Lupin had spoken, what was going on with him?
