chapter V

I wake up to soft nibbles on my finger tips. What the hell is biting me? I look over, and it's Zeus.

"Well, good morning to you too, buddy," I smile sleepily, petting his head. I get up and feed him. I check the time: 7:30 am. I am on schedule. I change into my robes and head downstairs for breakfast, seeing that Luna and Cho weren't in their beds. I walk into the Great Hall and I feel a pair of eyes on me. I look to my left and it is none other, than Draco Malfoy. When I meet his gaze, he immediately looks away. Funny. I find the cluster of gingers and make my way over to them.

"Good morning, y/n" Luna says. "You looked so peaceful in your sleep, I didn't want to disturb you,"

"No worries, Luna," I smile. I look over at Fred, who's scooting over and patting the spot next to him, motioning for you to sit besides him. Ron notices this.

"Y/n," Ron smiles. "Come sit next to me," He scoots away from the group and makes a space for me between him and Hermione.

"I'll sit besides Fred, thanks though," I say emotionlessly, not even looking over at him. George and Hermione exchange sad glances. I walk over to the spot that Fred opened up for me and he swings his arm around my shoulder.

"So, y/n," Hermione says, trying to diffuse the tension. "Are you excited for your first day of classes today?"

I nod. "A little nervous that I may not know anyone in my classes, but I'll be okay,"

"Well, what classes do you have today?" Luna asks.

"I have Charms, Potions, and Care of Magical Creatures," I say, Ron's face dropping immediately. The twins notice this.

"Well, Ronald," Fred states.

"Seems like you have all of your classes with y/n today," George finishes.

Oh no.

"Bloody hell," Ron mutters under his breath. Hermione kicks his shin under the table. He winces. "What was that for?"

"Shut up," She whispers, glaring at him. "Why are you being so rude to her?"

I start standing up, trying to remove myself from this awkward situation. "I think I'm going to head to class early," I smile awkwardly. I turn around and start to walk off when someone grabs my wrist.

"Do you want me to walk you to class?" Fred asks, looking up at me. I quickly glance at Ron, who's looking at me. George looks at him and nods his head towards me.

"Fred, why don't I offer to walk her to class?" Ron says smoothly, standing up. "We are going to the same class, anyways," I look at him then back at Fred.

"No, Ronnie, I don't think that'd be a very good idea," He says, smiling up at me. "You've already made yourself seem like you're not a fan of hers, so let's avoid all of the tension,"

"Git," He mutters under his breath. Hermione kicks him again. "What the bloody hell was that for?" He yells. I motion to Fred for us to leave and he walks me to class. I hear distant arguing coming from where we were sitting before, but I don't pay any mind to it.

"Look, y/n," Fred says, stopping me in front of my classroom. "I can tell Ron fancies you, and I know you fancy him as well,"

"Fred, he hates me,"

"No, he doesn't" He laughs. "He just doesn't know how to show you he feels that way. Trust me when I say I know my brother is a bloody idiot,"

I laugh. "I at least would like to be friends with him. Seeing as we have so many classes together this year,"

"You just have to believe me," He smiles. I go up on my tippy-toes and give him a kiss on the cheek, making his blush a little.

"Thank you for being so kind to me, Fred," I smile back. "I hope we can become really good friends,"
