Just another Weasley~(Harry potter ff)

Chapter 5~ Hating Draco Malfoy

Hate.

Amelia didn't like the word hate. It always just seemed so... Irrational.

In fact she hated it, when people said they hated each other. She felt people always deserved second chances, no matter what they did. She never thought she was capable of hating someone. That is... Until she met Draco Malfoy and his little follower Semira. She didn't want to hate Draco or Semira for that matter but they just kept pushing her buttons. Her annoyance only grew when she saw the notice on the Gryffindor notice board, that flying lessons would be starting. Gryffindors were sharing their lesson time  with the Slytherins. Why Slytherins? Why not Ravenclaws or Hufflepuffs? "Typical." Harry muttered from Amelia's side making her avert her eyes from the notice to his scrunched up face.

She gave a sigh realizing there was nothing they could do about it.

"This is rubbish!" Danielle pointed out the obvious walking up behind them and looking over Amelia's shoulder at the notice. Ron gave an amused shake of his head. "I don't know, Amelia will be able to show off her flying skills." Amelia blushed as she turned to go sit on the common room couch in front of the fire. Danielle was the first to plop down next to her and Harry and Ron quickly joined. "So you know how to fly"? Harry asked bewildered, he was surprised but then realized that Amelia hadn't grown up like him. Amelia was about to nod but Ron interjected.

 "She doesn't just know how to fly she's incredible on a broom"!

Amelia focused on the fiery flames in the fire in front of them hoping her blush wouldn't show. "It's hard not to be good on a broom when Fred and George put you on one when you're five years old." She mumbles distractedly. "Same with me, my mum says Cedric put me on a broom when I was three." Danielle pipes up laying back on the couch and closing her eyes. "Merlin am I tired, Hermione practically forced me to finish all of my homework." She yawns. "Well if she didn't it would never get done!" Amelia teases a smile curling on her lips. "Well this is just perfect, I've always wanted to make a fool out of myself on a broom in front of Malfoy." Harry said, his voice full of sarcasm. It was easy for Amelia to understand his annoyance, Malfoy and Semira were already agitating enough, they didn't need something to fuel their fire.

She reached to touch his shoulder sympathetically when a voice made her jump. "I wouldn't worry about it mate, Malfoy talks about what a good flyer he is but I bet that's all talk." Everyone on the couch jumped and Danielle's eyes snapped open jumping like everyone else,  the four of them whipped their heads around to who had spoken. Fred and George sat huddled behind the couch. "What are you doing back there"? Amelia demanded leaning over the couch and her hair falling in her face as she tried to get a better look at them. This didn't seem to improve the situation as a moment later they popped their heads up and Amelia's forehead bumped into Fred sending her to reel into Danielle. "Ow-Fred"! She exclaimed rubbing her now throbbing head. Danielle made her right on the couch again and Amelia  captured her curls behind her ear. Fred muttered a quick sorry before averting his eyes uncomfortably as Ron repeated, "What were you doing back there"?

"Were hiding from Lee." They said in unison. Amelia rolled her eyes while Danielle popped one eye open. "And why is that"? She inquired a smile tugging at her lips. "Yeah what did you do"? Amelia asked sighing, they both frowned at her. "What makes you think we did anything"? Amelia shot them an incredulous look. "I know you too well." She said with dry humor making Ron crack a smile, Harry was deep in thought during all of this. "We switched the filling in his Oreos and replaced it with tooth paste." They admitted. "What are Oreos"? Danielle mumbles her eyes falling shut again. "It's a muggle food," George replied. "Amelia introduced it to us," Fred adds smugly. "I didn't think you would turn it into a prank"! She retorts. Fred and George shared a look before saying, "We turn everything into a prank." Ron couldn't help but nod. "I should know I'm their main target." Fred George, Amelia and Danielle share a laugh at this.
