I change my clothes. Putting on some simple black jeans and a warm and comfy hoodie.

I look into the mirror grinning at the view and winking at my own reflection. I open the door and run down the stairs. When I get to the bottom all the confidence from before is gone, like it was never there.

Every single person in that room snickering and staring at you. You bite your lip and stare at the floor before bolting from the common room.

Fred's POV

I stare at the plate in front of me before turning my gaze on to the door of the great Hall. " We haven't seen her since the incident. Maybe something happened! I really worried my mind is all over the place." Fred blurted out.

"Mate just simmer down, okay?" George said with a huge grinn on his face.

At the same time y/n walked through the door. Fred looked at her as she was getting closer. Her beautiful y/e/c eyes, her gorgeous y/h/c hair. She was just so mesmerizing. But something was off. She didn't look like her usual confident self. Her eyes were locked to the ground like she really wanted to be somewhere else. I knew something was wrong.

I ran torwds y/n and apparatied with her.

Back to first person POV

Suddenly I hear footsteps coming torwds me. I look up to see Fred launching himself at me, before I was able able to do anything Fred grabbed my arm, tight and the two of us apparatied to the side of the Black lake.

"Is everything okay?" Fred asked with worrie in his eyes. "Yeah I'm okay, but why are we here?" You asked.

"Well, it seemed like something was wrong and I wanted to help." Fred shyly said, biting his lower lip.

"That's so sweet, thank you, and to truthfully answer your question I was just embarrassed and I don't know, I didn't feel as confident as usual. But you most certainly made my day better." I say softly to which Fred grinned. I took his hand and he flinched slightly and stared at me, brows raised.

" But I can't thank you for tickling me or coming between me and my breakfast." I say with a big grin. I let go of his hand and push him into the lake.

I bend over laughing when Fred emerges from the water. He's staring right at me looking furious. I start running at god speed, Fred at my tail. He managed to catch me very quickly. You never knew how fast the Ginger- ( get it? Cause you know his hair colour is ginger. Pretty cleaver right.) -Could run. He grabbed me by my waist and turned me around in his arms, wrapping th tightly around me.

"Y/n y/l/n you are the weirdest, funniest, most beautiful girl I've ever met. I have wanted to tell you this for a long time. And after you, without mercy, threw me into a freezing cold lake, seemes to be the perfect time." Said Fred.

"What are you getting at Freddie." You asked confused "What im trying to say is, i li..."

Before Fred was able to finish his sentence George tackled both of you to the ground and said "Whatcha guys doing?"
Fred stared at his brother, brows furrowed, nose scrunched and with reddened cheeks. When we all emerged from the pile of hands and feet and stood up, George finally broke the awkward silence. "Did I interrupt something important?"

Fred whispered "You should have thrown him in the lake instead."

***

We entered the griffindor common room and sat down on the soft and fluffy armchairs. Except George who decided to go to sleep and skip all todays classes cause

" Why would I need to go to class when I can sleep?"

And then there were two.

Fred was looking out the window when I asked

" What were you gonna say befour we were so rudely interrupted?" Fred stared at me with his mouth slightly open. He lowered his gaze and then he whispered the five magical words.

" I think I like you."

He looked up in hopes of seeing a good reaction, but nothing.

He waits a couple of seconds, when you still won't say anything he clears his throat "y/n?"

I perk up at the sound of my name

"Sorry, I got distracted. What did you say?"

"Oh"
"Nothing too important." He says quietly almost sounding disappointed or maybe defeated.
"I think I'll go to bed."

Leaving me sitting in the empty common room all alone.
