Payback [Fred Weasley]

Bye Stupid

⟿

"Hi cousin dearest." Noah laughed, as he came up behind me and slung his arm over my shoulder. "I come bearing your date."

Behind us stood an almost nervous looking Andre. It was adorable. He was dressed in his best dress robes and his hair was slicked back from his face.

"I really thought you might stand me up." I laughed, walking towards him so I could properly whack his shoulder.

"Like I would ever let him do that." Noah joked, nudging me with his shoulder, before sending Andre and I a smile and walking away, into he abyss of people in the great hall.

"Bye stupid!" I laughed, turning my attention back to Andre. He was smiling at me, his hand outreached towards me.

"I wouldn't stand you up!" He laughed, his normal self showing once again. "You know me better than that. How about we go grace the castle with our amazing dance skills?"

"Why of course!" I said in an annoying waspy accent. "We couldn't deprive them of that show."

And with that, we dramatically entered the great hall and pushed our way to the center of the dance floor.

Over the next few hours, Andre and I did chaotic fast dances, dramatic slow dances, stupid solo dances. All in all, I was having a ball, no pun intended. My lungs hurt from all the exercise our dancing required. My feet were sore from my shoes, so I accioed some nice soft socks. They were grippy and may be from the muggle hospital, but that is besides the point. My hurting feet did not stop us from fun. Noah quickly joined in our dancing along with Mia. I was having the time of my life acting like a complete and utter idiot.

"Go Mia!" Noah cheered as Mia pretended to waltz around with an imaginary person.

"No, no. Let me show you how it's done." Andre interjected, suddenly and very gracefully swaying from foot to foot around and around.

"Okay well, damn that was actually impressive." Mia conceded, laughing as she offered her opponent her hand as a peace offering.

"Thank you, thank you. That's what happens when you come from a wealthy stuck up family." Andre laughed along with us, offering me a hand as the slow song continued. I took it, moving to sway side to side as the four of us kept talking.

"Where's Viktor?" I questioned confused by our other friend's absence.

"He's quite smitten with Granger." Mia laughed, earning a whack from Noah.

"Be nice. He does not get crushes easily. We are going to support this one for however long it lasts." My cousin stated, sounding like a scolding mother.

"Whatever you say Noah." I chuckled, resting my head on Andre's shoulder out of exhaustion.

"You good there, Char?" Mia laughed, tapping my leg with her foot, which was surprisingly still clad in her heels.
