Never Is Our Always

Another Attack! Another Attack! 2

(Minnie pov)

I walked down the steps and into the common room to see Fred, who was keeping his word, was waiting on the couch with George.

"Hey!" He chirps as him and George got off the couch and walked towards me.

"Hey," I smile slightly as he then nods and then motioned me to start walking.

I suddenly stopped as the three of us got to the door, I turned to Fred, "do... do I have to go in?" I asked him.

"We're gonna be right here with you," Fred assured me.

"Yeah, don't worry!" George smiles and I nod as the doors opened and we entered the Great Hall together. I put my head down as my heart started racing.

"Oh, Minnie!" Someone shouts and I shut my eyes as my hands turn into fists; I look up as Angelina, Katie and Alicia ran up to us and engulfed me into a tight hug.

"Huh?" I didn't really know what to do so I pat their backs.

"We were so worried about you, Marcus got suspended as well as a few others, but when we tried to find you we couldn't!" Angelina rambles on.

"We wanted to jinx him so badly! But we couldn't or Professor McGonagall would of kill us!"

"I wanted to curse him!" They all let me go and I gave a small smile to them all as they look at me with worried-filled eyes.

"I'm okay." I told them and they all sigh in relief, "so... can we all sit together?" I asked and Angelina gasps.

"Don't need to ask us twice!" Alicia said, "come on boys and girls!" I giggled as I then look at Fred, he gave me a knowing smile as we all walked together before sitting down.

"Where's Wood?" George asks them.

"From what we saw an hour ago he was cursing out Marcus," Angelina told him.

"Is she here? Is she okay?" I heard a familiar Scottish accent ask before I turn my head and saw Oliver.

"Right on cue." Fred mumbled.

"I should..." I told them as I got out of my chair and he rushed towards me.

"Minnie!" He tackles me into a hug and then slightly picks me up, "I got detention, which would damage my quidditch captain reputation, but I wouldn't stand there and let him be a prick, so I punched him."

"You punched Marcus Flint?" Fred asks him in shock.

"I did, he went to the quidditch pitch and when I caught up to him cause I was gonna book the pitch for practice... I socked him in the mouth and then we got into a fight outside." He told us, still clinging on to me.

"Bloody hell," George said before smiling, "go Wood." He sipped his drink while Oliver looks at me.

"Are you okay?" Oliver asks me.

"I will be when you let me go, you're crushing me," I say as Oliver let's go and I gasp for air.

"Sorry," he titters, "oh!" He snapped his fingers, "mam and pa want you to come over for dinner." He told me.

"Why?" I asked him as I sat down beside Fred and then Oliver sat down next to me.

"They like you more than me," he answers and I shake my head as I snorted.

"How? They're your parents, they like you more, trust me." I say as I filled my plate up with food and filled my cup up.

"Wouldn't say that," Oliver mumbled.
