The Lost Twin (Fred Weasley)

Chapter 11: Transfiguration

Fred's POV
"Will you hurry up? We're going to be late for our classes!" Cassie whined as she practically dragged George and I away from the lunch table.

"Will-you-calm-down?" George complained as Cassie was pulling us both forwards.

"I will when you're in class."

"Cas, you how come you can prank people and get detention and you don't care, but you refuse to be late for class?" I asked her. "And besides you don't have to wait for us, you could have gone to your lessons with Harry, Ron and Hermione" I reminded her.

"Because detention doesn't effect me learning. And I know I could have" she said quickly.

"Well, seeing as we aren't going to be late could you kindly release my wrist, you're cutting off circulation?" I asked her.

She glanced down and quickly dropped my wrist, I thought I saw her blush but she looked away to quick.

"Cassiopee?" I heard someone with a French accent shout. I turned around as some boy with dark hair hurried towards us.

"Hi Alexandre" Cassie said, smiling at him as she turned around. He grabbed her hand and kissed it, causing her to blush slightly.

I suddenly felt irritated and said "we'll see you after classes" I said a bit ruder then I meant too.

"Oh ok, bye?" she said a bit taken aback. I quickly turned around walked to transfiguration, George following me.

"What was that about?" George asked me as we sat down.

"Nothing" I said shortly.

"Freddie that was definitely not nothing" George said matter of factly.

"It was nothing" I repeated.

"Oh.. you're jealous" he said with a smirk.

"I am not Jealous. When did she start talking to that guy anyways?" I said grumpily.

"No idea. Why won't you admit that your jealous?" he said.

"I told you. I'm not jealous. I'm just a little irritated because I'm hungry" I lied.

"We just had lunch Freddie" George pointed out.

"Oh yeah..well.." I was about to say something when McGonagall started the class.

"Good afternoon class, today we will be turning a bumblebee into a chipmunk" she said. I half payed attention as she taught us the spell. She was handing out bumblebees when George nudged me.

"Fred pay attention, we have to look like we're trying or we'll get another detention" George muttered. He was right, another detention would be very inconvenient for pranks we had planned.

By the end of the class, the only thing that had changed about my bumblebee was the stripes. "Oh well, I guess I'll just have to have Cas help me with this one later" I muttered to George, who nodded in agreement.

Professor McGonagall collected all the transfigured animals.

She then cleared her throat and said, "I have an announcement, so if you'll all kindly pay attention" she began. When everyone seemed to be listening she started to speak again.

"The Yule Ball, is a tradition of the triwizard tournament. It a chance to for us to.. er let our hair down."

I tried not to laugh at this, Professor McGonagall, let her hair down?

"This does not mean you get to misbehave, I will be most displeased if a Gryffindor student causes any problems what so ever" she said, staring at George and I.

"This is a chance to meet the students from the other schools. It is off limits to all under fourth year, but you may ask a younger student if you wish" she said. The bell rang and we hurried out of the class, the girls giggling excitedly amongst themselves.

"So Cas, who was that guy you were talking to out there?" I asked Cassie and she came running up to us after class. I felt irritated at the thought of him.

"Oh.. that's Alexandre, I met him in the library a few weeks ago" she said, and I noticed her cheeks were slightly pink.

"What did he want?" I said irritably. Cassie raised her eyebrows at me and said.

"He only wanted to know if I could help him with an assignment. They still have to do their homework even though they aren't at school you know."

"But isn't he a year ahead of us?" I said
gesturing to me and George.

She shook her head "he's in his sixth year at school too, he just barely turned seventeen" she said.

"I don't think you should be hanging around him" I said suddenly.

She raised her eyebrows at me again "and why not?"

"Because... you just shouldn't be" I muttered.

Cassie rolled her eyes then said "did she tell you about the Yule Ball?"

"Yup" George and I said at the same time.
"So who do you two want to ask?" Cassie asked, looking at me curiously.

I wouldn't mind going with you...

"No idea" George and I said together.

"Better hurry and ask someone or they'll all be taken. I've got to go talk to Ginny" she said and hurried off.

"You gonna ask her?" George asked.

I looked at him for a second before saying truthfully, "I don't know."

A/N- So not the best chapter in the book, but I kinda like it for some reason. Thank you for reading xox
