Never Is Our Always

Riled Up and Ready to Rumble 5

(Minnie pov) (three weeks into detention)

A burning aura of anger swarmed around me as I marched down the corridor and entered the entrance hall to the Great Hall.

"Move it!" I shout and everyone parted like the Red Sea as I stormed in, my hand looks mauled by that stupid bloody quill.

"Whoa—" shot a dirty look at Draco as I past him, then sat at my table in burning silence.

"Do I ask what's wrong? Or are you going to—"

"She expects me to give up so easily!" I threw my hands up, "you know deep down you're better than this, Alice!" I rolled my eyes, "I ran into the forest, that's all I did, and now I have a months detention, every single day."

"Even quidditch—"

"I do them at midnight on quidditch days," I said glumly, "which means no sleep or rest for me."

"Merlins..." Angelina pulled my sleeve up and saw all the words scratched deeply into my hand.

I must not lie

I must not go where I am forbidden

I must not talk back

"So, I have to write one sentence each week, I wonder what this ones going to be..." I say quietly to Angelina, her eyes were still fixated on my hand.

"I don't know..." she whispered, frowning, "does... does Fred know?" My hand tensed in hers, "I'm assuming he doesn't."

The screech of an owl snapped me out of my thoughts when they all came soaring in, by Umbridge's permission, of course.

"Wulfric?" He lands in front of me and flapped his wings, I pet him before he hands me the envelope.

"What's this?" Angelina said, staring at the envelope.

"From Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," I read out loud, "how the hell do those two do these things?" I slit the envelope open and then pulled the letter out while Wulfric ate from my plate.

Dear my love,

I miss you everyday, I can't wait to come and get you from school; I won't tell you when so it can be special when I do.

I've seen how much my ring glows, it burnt me once, but I don't mind... I hope she hasn't been giving you too much grief since we've left.

I love you so much, I can't wait to see you.

Love from yours truly.

Fred Weasley.

My eyes water at the letter before I folded it and placed it back in the envelope.

"I miss you too." I muttered before looking around, I then pull my parchment out of my book bag and nod to Angelina as we muttered to each other.

"Tell him." I nod my head as I started writing.

To Freddie,

Hey! Long time no see, I guess?

Well, first of all, I miss you too, and I can't wait to see you again; second of all, you burnt my hand too, but I don't mind, I still wear the ring no matter what.
