one sickle ~ f.w.

chapter 4

"STUDENTS OUT OF BED. STUDENTS IN THE CORRIDOR!"

our smiles dropped as we heard the familiar voice coming from further down the hallway.

it was filch.

"what do we do now?!" i said, panicking.

"i thought you were used to this y/n! RUN!" fred yelled.

we ran and ran until our legs couldn't take it anymore. luckily, we were all quite fast as we'd had about three years of practice running from teachers after the hundreds of pranks we had pulled in the past. 

george eventually sprinted ahead of us and me and fred were left on our own. we had stopped for around a minute in the empty hallways when we heard filch's voice again. 

"you can't run! you can't hide! i know you're here somewhere!"

we looked at each other and immediately went inside a nearby closet. 

it was very compact, so we were pressed up against each other, trying to stay silent. all we could hear was our heavy breathing and filch's footsteps as he walked past the closet, having no idea that we were there.  

fred's pov :

"y/n!" i whisper-shouted. "i think filch and mrs norris have passed by."

"oh well then we can go now-"

i stopped her as she was reaching for the door handle and told her that maybe we should wait a couple more minutes just to be sure.

"right, okay." she said.

i pulled her back towards me and smiled.

about a minute later, we came out of the closet and went back to the common room, making sure that we didn't make too much noise. 

"where have you been?!" george asked.

"we heard filch and almost got caught so we had to hide in a closet until he passed by." i answered.

"yeah i honestly thought we were gonna get a detention!" y/n said.

soon after, i went to bed, content with the way things were going this year so far.

your pov

the next morning, fred, george, lee and i were eating breakfast in the great hall casually when we see errol, the weasleys' owl, fly to our table and drop a letter off, making a mess in the food. as soon as the letter hits the table, it makes the shape of a mouth and starts shrieking.

"fred and george weasley! how dare you blow up that toilet! i am absolutely disgusted! and you dragged y/n into it too!"

the letter turned to me and said - "of course i know it wasn't your fault y/n, i don't blame you at all" before turning back to the twins and continuing - "if i hear of one more incident of you two getting into trouble again, you will be coming straight home!"

everyone was looking over to our table, even some of the teachers.

"how embarrassing." lee said, trying to hold in his laughter.

"shut up, lee!" fred and george said in unison.

fred's pov

after a long day of lessons, me and george were hanging out in the common room alone, since y/n and lee had gone to bed. 

"i see the way you look at her, fred."

"what do you mean?" 

"i know how you feel about y/n. don't lie."  george said.

i didn't know what to say. he's the person i tell everything to, and i felt so bad keeping it from him.

"i don't know what you're talking about, george. i don't feel anything for her." i said reluctantly.

"and you're absolutely sure?" he replied.

"yes."

"alright then."

he went upstairs to our dormitory, with a kind of defeated look on his face, like he knew i was lying to him. i put my head in my hands and sighed.

do i really have feelings for y/n? surely not, we've always just been friends and nothing more. 

is our relationship about to change forever?
