the boy I never knew | Fred Weasley ff

2

His words did not leave my mind and I could not even stop thinking about him. His appearance burned itself in my mind.

It was time for me to leave the Hospital Wing, me headache was almost completely gone. Madame Pomfrey made miracles happen.
While leaving the room, I almost bumped into a heavy breathing boy. The heavy breathing boy. I stepped out of his way and when he saw me, he stopped in his tracks.

„Hey" the said almost breathless. „I didn't mean to miss you. I wanted to talk to you before you leave the Hospital Wing."

„It's fine" I corrected him with a grin, „you're here now, so I guess you arrived just in time."

A beautiful smile grew on his lips and revealed his white, shining teeth. His smile was almost breathtaking and made me grin.

"You wanna come outside with me for a while.. to talk?", he asked me.
I nodded, without any questions I followed him trough the school corridor.

„Uhm" I mumbled, not knowing how to call him, "you didn't tell me your name yet"

„It's Fred, Fred Weasley"

Fred.. the oddly familiar feeling came back. I was sure that I saw him before.

"What are you thinking about?" Fred asked amused, he must have noticed my concentrated mimic. I decided to be completely honest and told him about the familiar feeling I have when he's around and I hear about him.

"That's funny" he said grinning, "most students know me and my brother George. You could say that we are known at Hogwarts, as the pranksters. I know it sounds weird, but I guess that's the first thought that comes up, when people talk about us."

"You were the one crashing our ZAG?" now I was the amused one. „That was so cool"

„Yeah kind of" Fred said admitting. „but I don't know anything about you, now that you know who I am, I extend to get to know you!"

„Where should I start.. I am Haven Mcklen, as you can see I was sorted in Slytherin" I said, while pointing at my Slytherin uniform, „if I am thinking correctly I should be in the same grade as your brother? And I really prefer not catching much attention, instead of pranking the whole school"

Fred nodded as I told him about his brother and after I told him my preferences he started smiling again. Damn.. his smile was so adorable. I didn't know why but each time he smiles, something inside me brings me to smile too. I am sure that he definitely thought I was weird, because of my dumb smiling and starring.

We talked till he sun had almost completely disappeared and he darkness brought up an uncomfortable coldness.

"You're freezing" he remarked, "do you want to have my pullover? It's not that cold for me"

"No it's fine" I claimed, but I actually had loved to wear his jumper.

Fred insisted that he would walk me to the Slytherin common room. Of course I accepted his lovely offer.
I waved him goodbye and turned to walk in the common room, but Fred's voice stopped me.

"Haven.. wait!" Fred yelled.
I turned to face him and waited for him to go on talking.
"Uhm" he said, while his hands were hidden in his red hair. I immediately saw his nervousness, „would you like to go to Hogsmeade next weekend, with me? You know like an apology for crashing in you, with the broom"

I smiled at him and Fred instantly looked calmer, „I almost forgot about that" I joked, „but yes, I would love to go with you"

„I'll pick you up at 5pm, if that's okey" Fred commanded while trying to hide a smile. I nodded and waked inside the Slytherin common room, a big smile adorned my lips.

„See you" I heard him whisper.
