"You won't kiss her at all."

Looking up the pair came across Enoch with his arms folded across his chest. He was glaring in the direction of Fred, and there was venom in his voice. Fred glanced at him confused, "I'm sorry, and who are you? Her dad?" Fred asked, "Sorry-that role has already been taken. Who are you? Her mum?"

Belle stood beside Fred, her hands so close to latching onto his wrist as he neared closer to Enoch. "Oh piss off. Leave Belle alone, she doesn't need you to kiss her and leave her. I've heard the stories."

"Stories? About me?" Fred burst out laughing, "that's where you're wrong, any stories you've heard about bedding a girl and running off isn't me, it's my twin, some people can't tell the difference. George has changed though, so but your nose out and leave me to finish my extended date with Belle."

Enoch's brows raised, "Date? That's what you think this is. Well I'm not sorry to say that it isn't a date, she doesn't even like you, why would she? She's with me, so I'd appreciate if you left my girlfriend alone."

Belle's eyes widened as Fred turned to her, hurt in his eyes. She scoffed, "what the hell, Enoch? You knew I like Fred! I'm not going out with you! I told you I see you as a brother and you agreed that siblings was the way forward! This is a date! Just leave us alone!" She cried, and grasped Fred's wrist tugging him down the corridor, bumping shoulders with Enoch as she went. She continued pulling Fred until she reached the door to the astronomy tower. She practically kicked it open and climbed the steps until they entered the classroom which was fortunately empty.

Fred stepped away from Belle, hurt still in his eyes. "You're telling the truth right? That part is lying. Please tell me he is."

"Of course I am telling the truth Fred. Think about what we have done today! I wouldn't have done any of that with him, Lee, George-anyone! All of that, I did with you! I wanted to do all of that with you! No one else." She quietly said theist part, placing her hand on his cheek and staring into his eyes. "I promise."

"G-good." Fred stuttered. His eyes momentarily enlarged until he felt her lips press onto his.

Or so he imagined. They were interrupted one again, this time by Professor Parker. She eyed the two carefully. "Now, I should really give you both a detention but I'm not going too-okay I have walked in at a bad time- er-"

"-we'll just go." Belle stated and the pair exited the tower blushing profusely. Once at the bottom of the stairs, Fred once again flared in annoyance.

"Right. That's it. I'm going to bed! That way no one can interrupt us at all!" He growled causing Belle to jump. She felt hurt, but knew Fred was just fed up with all of the interruptions. "I'll see you around, Florence." He said and stalked away, his fists clenched.

I'll see you around, Florence? Belle thought, We're back to that now.

She rolled her eyes and headed off back to her tower. For once she actually was able to figure out the riddle and entered the common room, sluggishly. Luna was sat at a table sewing something so she took a seat beside her friend. "Evening, Belle, what is troubling you?"

"What?" How'd you know-"

"You have a sad aura." Luna stated not looking up from her sewing. "Is it to do with Mister Weasley?"

"Fred? Yes." Belle sighed placing her head into the table.

"Do you what to talk about it?"

"No thanks, Luna. What are you doing anyway?" Belle turned her head.

"I am making a hat, a lion one. I have already made one for myself but I thought you'd appreciate one, it's for us to wear to the next Gryffindor Quidditch match that is not against Ravenclaw. I have Eagle hats for us when we are playing. The lion ones are enchanted to roar."

Belle smiled, "that's so cool, thank you. It must be very difficult to make."

Luna shook her head, "Quite the opposite. It's just fun. I will be finished by next weekend. For now, I am going to stop, I really want some more pudding. Do you want to come with me? The house elves in the kitchen are friendly."

"I know they're Luna, but I think I'll just head up to bed. I'm quite tired after today."

Luna smiled, "ah, yes! You had a date with Fred. I do hope it went well. Goodnight Belle." She skipped off, her sewing in her hands, out of the common room leaving Belle to herself. Well, until Victor sat with her.

"Do you know where Enoch is?" He asked her.

Belle looked at him in annoyance, "Wherever he is, as long as it is nowhere near me that is perfect."

"Woah, what happened?"Victor quizzed at her anger.

Before Belle could answer Luna reentered the common room, "Belle, your Scottish friend, he is fighting with one of the Weasley Twins."

Both Belle and Victor glanced at each other before hurrying out of the tower, Emma, Jake and a few other people following. Luna led them down to the fourth floor where she was right. Enoch was fighting one of the twins. That twin being Fred. The blue-haired girl was in a state of shock as she reached Angelina Johnson's side. Lee and George were trying to pry Fred away from Enoch whilst Victor, Jake and Millard did the same to Enoch. Both had different wounds. Enoch had a cut lip and had been punched in the eye and various other places whilst Fred seemed the least hurt. He had been punched in the stomach and abdomen but other than that his clothes and hair were just a mess.

"What is going on?" Bellowed McGonagall just as Percy, she and a few other teachers arrived on the scene, Miss Peregrine included.

"Mr O'Connor, what has gotten into you?" The latter asked her charge as she approached him. Enoch didn't say anything he just lunged for Fred once again.

"ENOUGH!" Cried McGonagall, "Professor Lupin can you please lead Mr Weasley to my office, Alma I presume you can handle Mr O'Connor?" Miss Peregrine nodded and led Enoch away, Remus doing the same to Fred who took a look at Belle who stared at him in shock.

Fred shook his head and that was it.

He was gone.
