Age of Mischief ~ George Weasley [Harry Potter] Fanfic

Professor Snape

Fred sat down at the table silently, and stayed like that for the rest of dinner. Bethany tried to bring him into the conversation repeatedly, but he always stayed unresponsive. Fred excused himself before dessert and Mum stared after him unhappily.

"What's wrong with him?" She asked and Bethany sighed, shaking her head.

"His girlfriend broke up with him. That's what was in the letter." She answered sadly.

"Oh that's a shame. Who was the girl?" Mum asked again.

"Katie Bell. She's in the quidditch team. Fred and her were going out since term started." I added, and Bethany scowled beside me.

"I swear... They are making quidditch highly unenjoyable." She muttered, and mum heard her.

"They?" She asked, confused.

"Angelina and Katie. They've both hurt my best friends... And now that these two," Bethany jerks her thumb at me and Fred's empty seat. "Have gotten kicked off the team... Its definitely lost its fun." Mum stared at me wide eyed.

"How did you get kicked off?" She said loudly and I sighed.

"It doesn't matter." I said, annoyed at the memory. Bethany snorted and I kicked her from underneath the table. She glared at me and Dad butted in.

"What's this? You got kicked out of the quidditch team?" He asked, wide eyed. I sighed, irritated.

"Yes." I grumbled.

"How?" Dad said, surprised.

"I said it doesn't matter." I replied heatedly, and I shoved a spoonful of pie in my mouth. Some of the cream went onto my face and Bethany laughed lightly. She wiped it away with her fingers and then sucked the cream off, smiling mischievously. I laughed too, and the tension between me and my parents vanished. After, we went upstairs, both of us full and sleepy. We got changed quietly, so we didn't wake Fred. Bethany got into bed first and I quickly followed, wrapping my arms around her.

****Fred's point of view****

"We need to cheer Fred up," Bethany whispered to George, and I smiled to myself. "Katie Bell isn't worth this much."

"How would you know she isn't?" George whispered back. Bethany laughed shallowly.

"It's what she does with every boy. Dates them, shags them, then walks off." She replied darkly.

"How do you know that?" George asked.

"You don't want to know."

"C'mon, tell me." George said persuasively, pushing himself up, over Bethany, and restricting my view. He leaned down and by the sound of it, they kissed.

"Fine. Well... I... I was going back to the common room from the library one night... And.. Well, I heard something coming from a broom cupboard... And I opened the door a tiny bit... And I saw Fred... And Katie... Having sex." Bethany whispered embarrassedly. "I found out from the girls in her dorm that she does it to a lot of boys." My heart plummeted and I clenched my eyes shut. I remembered that night.

"Jesus... I'm guessing you haven't told Fred?" George whispered.

"Of course not. We would both die of embarrassment!" Bethany whispered back, horrified. "We seriously need to cheer him up though. That's what he did with us!"

"You're right. But how?"

"We could --" Bethany started, but I interrupted.

"You guys don't need to do anything."
