Pinky-Promise (Fred Weasley Fanfiction)

Chapter 1: The Quidditch World Cup

A blast of cold water shocked me awake. I shot up with a loud yell, grasping for my wand on the bedside table. Laughter filled my ears as I blinked the water out of my eyes. Two tall gingers were running out the door, cackling like hyenas. "I WILL BLOODY KILL YOU." I roared, pulling my wet blanket off me.

The girls in the beds beside me woke up sharply. "Louise what the hell are you yelling about?" The brunette asked deliriously, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Sorry Hermione, Fred and George decided to wake me up today." I grumbled, grabbing a towel from my suitcase.

She groaned and checked her watch. "Thanks for waking me up, I guess. We're gonna have to leave soon if we wanna make it in time."

I sighed in agreement before rummaging through my suitcase for something to wear. "Wonder if the other boys are up," The ginger girl, Ginny, wondered aloud, as I settled on a dark red shirt and jeans.

"I'll get dressed and go make sure," Hermione said, looking through her things as well.

I went to the bathroom and got ready quickly, drying myself off before heading downstairs to give those damn twins an earful.

The twins, Fred and George, had been my best friends for six years. We met in our first year at Hogwarts, after I had played an old school muggle prank on Filch. I had offered him a couple Oreos as he escorted the twins to their first ever detention, but instead of the normal cream filling, I had replaced it with a minty toothpaste. The twins thought it was genius, and had laughed with me when Filch retched on the disgusting cookie. It earned me a place alongside the twins in detention, but it was so worth it. We'd been inseparable ever since.

Now I was staying at their house, the Burrow, like I had many times before, but this time was even more exciting, we were preparing to attend the Quidditch World Cup. Though this time I wasn't allowed to stay in a room with Fred and George, like we did when we were younger.

I found the twins at the table, eagerly awaiting the breakfast Molly had made. They were laughing together, probably about the prank they had pulled on me. "You." I growled, pointing my wand at them, "You twats, you thought you would just get away with that? I will hex you."

"Ah ah ahhhh no underage magic Lou!" Fred sang, pushing the tip of my wand away from his face.

He gave me a smug, crooked smile, causing me to blush. "Oh just you wait Freddie, as soon as we're at Hogwarts, I would watch your back." I threatened, slapping the back of his hand with my wand.

George laughed loudly, "That goes for you too George!" I snapped, smacking him as well.

Hermione and Ginny came down the stairs not long after me, I sat beside Fred, while they sat across from me. Molly flicked her wand and heaping plates of toast, pancakes, sausage, and eggs floated onto the table. "Thank you so much, Molly. This looks delicious!" I said as Fred and George leapt ahead to fill their plates.

"Well eat up, you guys have a long day ahead of you!" She beamed.

I filled my plate as well, eating as much of Molly's delicious cooking as I could. A disgruntled Harry and Ron finally made their way to the kitchen, and wasted no time in getting their fill. "Boys! You best be quick, and I sure hope you're packed. You'll be leaving any moment." Molly scolded.

We ate quickly, and mostly as in silence as we were too tired to talk. When I finished, I thanked Molly again, and went to make sure my bag was packed.

My trunk for Hogwarts was already packed, and my school supplies already bought. So I didn't have to worry about that. I turned around to head back downstairs, but was met by something tall blocking my way instead. "Fred, we have to go!" I exclaimed, trying to shove my way around him.
