Mischief and Mayhem Fred X Reader

Chapter 2

•A few days later•

It was evident that the sun was freshly up, the view was a blue haze and the Black Lake still had a dense fog upon it. Little ripples just barely broke it's surface. The air was crisp and slightly cold. From the shine on the grass and the puddles scattered about I could tell it had rained last night. I shut the window after taking it all in and hopped from the sill and quickly dressed. I cracked the door slightly open and peered through the common room. It was completely empty. Had it been that early?

Evidently not. I was sitting in the great hall reading while a few other people were talking loudly. It didn't me too much though, I was completely lost in my studies on potions to really be bothered. While still lost in my books and toast, a familiar voice called out my name. I could never mistake an Irish accent as thick as that. Melodie, my Hufflepuff friend was practically galloping my way. I hopped up out of my seat and went to hug her.

Melodie was a sweet girl, and she was very quick witted. She had naturally bright, auburn hair and green eyes. Her cheeks were speckled and tinted, and she a little taller than me despite her age. She was younger than me too, but that didn't matter to me. A good person is a good person no matter the age.

"Hey Melodie! Agh, it's been forever! Did you forget to write me?" I asked with a big smile.

"Gobshite! father 'ad me busy all 'ahliday" she solemnly said, "I'm really sorry"

I waved it off, the largest grin still plastered onto my face, "That's alright Mel, I understand. I was quite busy myself."

"So how's it going?! I haven't seen you in forever!" I asked

"not really anythin' Just a little bet o' issues wit me family. Oh! But I am tryin' out fer the Quidditch team! " She answered, jumping a little.

"That's amazing! Of course, I am too it's a passion of mine!" I smirked pridefully, "You should sit with me, we can talk about that little Hufflepuff boy you got going for you?" She smiled but declined, "I 'ave to get goin, me class is quite a bet o' ways away" With that she skipped off.

I smiled and retook my seat and waited for the rest of my group. Once again I woke up way earlier than I usually do, so I didn't expect them for another hour or two.

An image of a very sleepy Fred flashed through my mind. Two summers ago, I spent the night, and I woke him up in the middle of the night with a cricket. George didn't stir until Fred started screaming. I had to quickly clamp my hands over his mouth before he woke the entire house. George was just as infuriated at Fred was.

In Transfiguration, we were learning about human transformations. This spiked a great deal of interest in me, but it also scared me. At one point in the lesson I nearly choked on air at one of professors blatant comments. This made George snicker. I gave him a fair scolding afterwards.

Once class ended I had dark arts next, but I wasn't really close to anyone in that class. Lupin, my professor, was alright though, I almost feel as if I've met him before. I was just genuinely comfortable around him, sometimes after class I'd get to talking with him and then be almost late for my next class. Lupin was always the kindest, and he definitely knew his stuff. He's probably the best we've had here in a good while, we all know Lockhart was a git.

After class and between classes had to be my favorite. As of recent, it seems as though I've always had someone to talk too. After class today the twins and I sat at the Black Lake for a good while and 'brainstormed' ideas. Really we had been picking fun and ruff-housing with each other, Fred nearly tossed my arse into the water because I threw a stone a little too hard. We did, surprisingly, get some pretty good ideas while out there. Sadly, Lee couldn't join us, we'd have to tell him of our ideas later.
