BEING BACK at school felt good (minus the stress of NEWT's. Bee had never been one to spend much time in the library, even for her OWL's Bee managed to get decent grades without studying but recently the teen's been spending most nights up in the room filled with books.
Divination was the easiest subject to study, Bee just made up some mumbo-jumbo about life and death and Trelawney believed it. Transfiguration and Defence Against The Dark Arts on the other hand were pretty difficult but luckily Bee's friendship group were all more than willing to help each other.
Since the gang had gotten back at school it had become a rare occurrence that they had the time to hang out as a group.
Bee had also gotten quite concerned about the twins, particularly Fred. None of the pair really studied but at least George could be persuaded by Angelina to put in a little bit of work. Fred on the other hand was so stubborn that none of his friends were able to convince him to step foot in the library.
Of course Bee knew that Fred didn't want a conventional job and she knew about the joke shop plan but everyone needed a plan B.
"I just want the best for you Freddie" She sighed to herself.
Truth be told the lack of studying wasn't the only reason why Bee was concerned about Fred. He'd been so secretive lately, he always talked in hushed whispers to George then stopped talking right when he saw her. Something was up and Beatrice just didn't know what.
~~~
The first few weeks of January passed in a flash and before Bee could blink it was Mia's birthday. The nineteenth. Normally Mia would throw a massive party and get super drunk but this year she had decided to do things a little different.
The dark haired girl had planned an intimate meal with her closest friends to try and be 'grownup' for her eighteenth.
Mia had invited Bee, Holly, Raven, Fred, George, Lee, Angelina, Alicia and Daphne Greengrass to go have dinner. The group were surprised about the final name on the list but Mia had been getting close to the Slytherin lately and even though if anybody were to ask her about it she'd deny it, Mia was actually falling for the blonde girl.
Their dinner was at the Three Broomsticks. That was one downside to living at a boarding school, there wasn't a lot of great places to eat, so the group had to settle on the local pub.
"Do you at least have champagne" Mia groaned.
"No I'm sorry dear but the best we can do is butter beer." Madame Rosmerta said trying to stay calm.
"That's fine thanks, we'll have ten butterbeers to go with our meals please" Holly diffused the tension and Rosmerta simply nodded her head, turning a blind eye to the fact that Daphne was only sixteen.
"It's okay love, champagne is overrated anyways" Daphne smiled sincerely.
Despite her birthday meal not being as elegant as Mia would have liked she had an amazing time with her favourite people. Who cared if they eat steak pie and butterbeer instead of caviar and champagne?
Bee and Fred were the first to leave the cramped pub. "Sorry guys I just have to get up really early tomorrow, but the meal was great and I hope you've had a good day Mia."
Fred offered to walk Beatrice back up to the castle, an offer she quickly accepted. 1) because those January nights were freezing and she knew Fred would offer her his jacket and 2) because Bee hated walking alone at night, ever since Roger the dark just scared her.
"Here, take my coat." Fred placed the simple black jacket over his girlfriend's shoulders.
"Thanks" Bee grinned. "Can I ask you something Fred?"
"You can ask me anything Honey."
Bee blushed hearing the nickname Fred used to call her all the time. "Why are you and George always talking in hushed voices. Something's been going on for a while and you're not telling me about it."
"Bee" Fred protested. "It's really nothing."
"If it's nothing then just tell me" Bee smirked.
"Well remember the products George and I have been creating? And our plans for the shop I told you about? Well we've found a building that we can rent for the shop, and we have the money for it. We're thinking about starting up after the Easter Holidays." Fred looked anxiously at Bee.
"Freddie that's brilliant!" Bee practically burst with excitement. "Your dreams are coming true, I'm so so so proud of you."
"So you're not mad?" Fred sighed.
Bee snorted. "Why would I be mad?"
"Cause I'd be leaving you and leaving school."
"Just cause you're leaving before me doesn't mean we're gonna break up and fuck school, you don't need it."
Fred hugged his girlfriend and placed a gentle kiss to her lips. "I'm glad we're on the same page."
When the pair got back to the castle Bee was planning on going straight to bed but Fred had other plans. "Please just stay in the common room" he pouted.
"Fine but only for a half hour cause I really need to sleep."
The happy couple sat on the sofa cuddled up, their bodies pressed together to stay warm. Bee was trying to read her book but Fred staring at her was distracting her.
"What?" She spun round frustrated.
"You're just really beautiful" Fred grinned cheesily.
Bee blushed, she had never been great at taking compliments. "If you're just trying to suck up to me so I'll make out with you it's not gonna work."
"Whoa whoa whoa. I can't believe you think so lowly of me babe" Fred pretending to wipe tears away from under his eyes. "I was just genuinely commenting on your beauty, you're stunning and don't ever forget it."
A beaming smile spread from ear to ear on Beatrice's face. "Well you're not that bad looking yourself Weasley."

The next morning Holly, Angelina and Alicia came down from their dorm to find Bee and Fred's bodies tangled together on the couch, still sleeping.
"Aww look they clearly fell asleep together" Alicia said.
Angelina went to wake them up before Holly stopped her. "Wait don't wake them yet, they're too cute, just give them five more minutes."
