Payback [Fred Weasley]

He is Terrified (E)

"Charlie!!!!!" Mia yelled, coming up to Harry and me as we sat in one of the halls of Hogwarts together talking, while I helped him with his potions homework. It was about a week until the champions were to be chosen for the tournament.

"Please read this letter, Bill sent me." She stated, coming to an abrupt stop in front of me, looking like she was about to cry from laughing.

"Umm, okay..."

"Hi, Harry! How are you today?" She asked, handing me the letter and sitting down next to our cousin. I tuned out their conversation in order to read the oh so important letter.

Dear Mia,

I am so so sorry!!! Ginny wrote to me and said, the twins are trying to prank you. I will write to them and try to stop them, but no one really controls the twins. If they don't listen to me, I will write to Mum and have her intervene, but that would require me to explain who you are to her. Actually, I think Ginny may have done that for me. So sorry again...

I really should have thought through everything properly before suggesting you introduce yourself to my family. Ginny really likes you, though! I hope that is something good for you.

Try avoiding the twins at all costs, and if you can't, write to me, and I will personally come to corner them one weekend in Hogsmeade and shut them up.

Pretty please do not let them scare you away. I swear they get better when you get to know them.

With love,

Bill Weasley

I burst out laughing after finishing the letter.

"He is terrified."

"HE IS TERRIFIED." She agreed, cackling. Turning her attention back to me.

"He said pretty please, oh my gosh. You broke Bill." I said, cackling at the letter and Bill's weird word choice.

"Actually, I think the twins broke Bill." She countered.

"What is Bill terrified of?" Harry question grabbing the letter from my hands.

"He's worried his siblings will scare her away. More specifically, the twins." I explained, chuckling.

"Has he not met you, Charlotte?" Harry asked sarcastically, looking up from the letter to glance between Mia and me. "If you haven't scared Mia away by now, then I don't think she is scare awayable."

"Well, Potter, I will try not to take offense from that because you are right. The twins are not going to be able to scare her away." I said, smacking his arm lightly.

"It's true, Char. You are a special breed of people. Not everyone can handle you and your craziness." Mia added, backing Harry up.

"Yeah, whatever you two say." I responded, rolling my eyes at both of them. Before either of them could make any more comments, one of Harry's friends came rushing by us.
