Just Say Yes || Fred Weasley

Chapter Fifty Eight

"Never thought I'd see you in a fancy dress"
I snorted at George's comment, rolling my eyes at his attempt to distract me from Fred's obvious gawping.
"It looks weird" Lee agreed, "in a good way, but still weird"
"Why thank you for that misdirected compliment Lee" I snickered, watching as Alicia smacked his arm lightly.
"You look - gorgeous" Fred finally managed to choke out, hands reaching out to rest on my waist.
"You clean up well yourself, Weasley" I replied, straightening his bow tie, "you're looking very dapper"
Chuckling, he leant in for a kiss, ignoring the gagging sounds from behind us (which didn't last very long thanks to Angelina and Alicia quieting the boys).
Offering his arm, Fred gestured towards the doors of the Great Hall, "shall we?"
"We shall"

"Oh my stars you didn't tell me Hermione was coming with Krum" George hissed, "Ron must be shitting himself!"
I snickered evilly, pointing Ron out in the crowd, "he doesn't look very happy that's for sure"
Fred sniggered beside me, "nothing can be worse than Harry's dancing though, look at him, dancing like a newborn unicorn"
As Harry twirled past, we all waved at him, the twins wiggling their eyebrows while Lee gestured to straighten his back.
"Bless him" Alicia giggled, "He looks so young next to the others"
"You do forget he's just a child" Angelina agreed, peeking up as the song changed, "Is that the Weird Sisters? Come dance George!"
"Fred come on!" I cried, grabbing his hand, rushing on to the dance floor.
The two of us laughed, jumping to the beat of the music.
"You know" Fred shouted, voice just audible over the music, "I really meant it earlier when I said you look gorgeous"
"You trying to charm me Freddie?" I laughed, draping my hands over his shoulders, "because you should know that I'm already yours. No need to prove anything"
Fred smiled at that, pulling me closer, "I like the sound of that, you being mine"
"Come here you sap" I giggled, pulling him into a kiss.
We were broken up by a couple bumping into us, dancing enthusiastically to the music.

"Ack sorry!"
"Beth?"
"Oh my god! Emily! Fred!"
Ebony cheered, leaning heavily against Beth's side, "This is amazing isnt it? The Weird Sisters!"
"Never thought I'd see them in person" Fred replied, "They're as good as I thought they'd be"
A new song started and Beth gasped, grabbing my hands and forcing the four of us into a circle.
"Let's dance together! Wait is that Miles? Oi! Get over here!"
Miles came stumbling through the crowd with his date on his arm, the man introducing himself as Henrik.

The six of us danced for the next few songs, stopping only as George tapped Fred on the shoulder, gesturing to the drinks table.
"We'll be back" I said, waving to the group as I linked arms with the twins, letting go once we made it out of the swarm.
"This is great isnt it?" George laughed, running and jumping on to Lee's back, the shorter man automatically holding him in a piggyback, "But we needed a break"
"Where are the girls?"
"Over there" Lee said, nodding to them dancing together near the middle of the mosh pit, "They'll be fine without us for a while"
I huffed a laugh, tugging on Fred sleeve with a hopeful look. Sighing good naturedly, he squatted slightly so that I could get on his back.
"Thanks Fred" I grinned, hopping on and placing a kiss behind his ear, "I can actually see from this height, Hermione seems to be having fun with Krum and ... is that Percy?"
"Wha- don't call him over-"
"PERCY!" I yelled, waving him over with a mad smile. The older Weasley brother flushed, walking over quickly as he motioned for me to be quieter.
"I didn't know you would be here Perce" I smiled, waving from my perch, "how's life in the ministry treating you?"
George hid his groan in Lee's hair, silently signalling for Lee to move over to the drinks table, still intent on spiking the bowl of punch.
"Quite well thank you. Mr Crouch has promoted me to be his personal assistant so I'm here on his behalf"
Before I could give my congratulations, Fred cut in, hands squeezing my legs slightly, "Do you think he knows your name yet, Weatherby?"
I muffled my giggles by burying my face in Fred's neck, squeezing his sides with my legs in warning.
Percy sputtered, "Well I - oh look it's Ron. See you at the holidays"
"Prat" Fred mumbled, walking over to join Lee and George at the drinks.
"Hey, be nice. It's not his fault that miserable sod Crouch can't be arsed to learn his name"
"Percy's a git" George huffed, "I have no sympathy for him there"
Lee chuckled, shifting slightly to carry his weight, "Well its your other brother causing a scene right now"
Sure enough, Ron's raised voice seemed to cut through the chatter of milking students, "It's about winning! Why don't you go find Vicky, he'll be wondering where you are"
Hermione was sat beside Harry, seething, "Don't call him Vicky" she spat, before storming back into the mass of dancing bodies.
I sighed, rolling my eyes at the drama, "Ron's jealousy was set to explode any day, just isnt very convenient to happen now"
Bending down slightly so that I could slip off of his back, Fred drew me in to a hug, lips pressed against my hairline, "Aren't you glad you never had to deal with jealousy from me"
At that, George burst out laughing, sliding off a shaking Lee's back.
"Fred you were so jealous of Oliver that at one point you threatened to quit the-"
"Completely not jealous" Fred repeated, hands covering his twins' mouth.
Lee and I laughed, watching the two fight it out and using it as cover to spike the punch with firewhiskey.
"Okay boys, enough fighting, grab a drink and let's go"
"'I wasn't jealous', oh Fred you kill me sometimes" George cried, taking a swig from his drink.
"I mean it got to a point where I thought you were going to deck Oliver in the common room" Lee added, "You were staring at him so intently I thought he was going to just disintegrate on the spot"
"Okay we get it" Fred shouted, "Let's move on from that, shall we?"
