Butterflies 🦋 (Fred x Reader)

Presents, Pranks, and Snowballs

I woke up and felt arms around me and smelled burning wood, cinnamon, and fireworks. I opened my eyes and saw Fred still asleep. We were on the couch in the common room. Then I realized it was Christmas!

I had boughten everyone Christmas presents during the summer and wrapped them the other day. All our presents were under thee tree and the air smelled like pine and cedar.

I looked out the window and saw snow coming down. I looked back up at Fred and gently moved a Paige of hair out of his face which made his nose scrunch. He looked so cute when he did that.

"Freddie." I said. He grunted and pulled me closer. "Happy Christmas." I said. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled at me. "Happy Christmas love." He replied. "Your so cute." I said. "No, you are." He said as he tickled me.

"Fred stop." I laughed. "Fre- ahhh." I started to say Fred again when I fell off the couch and my words turned into a quiet shriek. "Are you aright?" He asked looking over the edge of the couch. "Ow." I said.

He took my arm and lifted me back onto the couch. He sat up with me and pulled me on top of him, to straddle him. I looked up and him and gave him a quick kiss. "C'mon, let's go wake the others." I said.

"Alright." He replied. We got up and walked up to our dorms. "Wake up!" I yelled as I clapped loudly. Hazel and Jordan shot up, scared. "Bloody hell Y/N I could have had a heart attack." Said Hazel. "Happy Christmas!" I said.

"Happy Christmas." They replied. They got up and we got freshened up and dressed and headed downstairs. I still had Fred's sweater on. When we got down, the boys weren't there yet so we made hot chocolates.

Eventually the boys came down and we all sat by the tree. All the other Gryffindors were either home or still sleeping. I sat in Fred's lap and we all passed out our presents. We had all opened our presents. Fred was right, his mum had sent him and George new sweaters. She also sent Lee and I hats. Then we got up and went to breakfast.

"Looks like it's snowing hard out there." Said Lee as we ate. "Yeah, it'll be deep enough for a snowball fight after lunch." I said. "Who's up for one?" Asked Fred. We got different variations of "Me." From everyone, even Hazel who didn't usually participate.

After breakfast the twins and Lee pulled me aside. "We have another prank if your in." Said George. "Duh, what is it." I said. "We're going to turn Ms. Norris red and green." Said Fred laughing. "Bloody hell, Filtch will be so pissed." I said laughing.

"So, we cannot get caught." Said Lee sternly. "How are we going to do it?" I asked. "We've developed a sweet that when you eat it, it turns you a certain color." Said George. "We're going to put red and green ones in Ms. Norris'a food." Said Fred.

"Wicked." I replied. I saw that Sparkle in Fred's eye that he gets when he plays pranks. "To Filtches office." Said George as he started walking. Fred threw his arm over my shoulder and I leaned my head on his as we walked.

We looked around the corner to make sure no one was their, then Lee and I stood watch as the twins snuck into his office and put the sweets in Ms. Norris's bowl. We stayed until she ate it all, but then I saw Filtch walking down the hall towards me.

I knew the twins were still in his office, right around the corner so I had to create a distraction. "Mr. Filtch!" I said as I walked up to him. "What?" He asked.

"I think I saw some students trying to sneak into the kitchen." I said. "Really?" He asked. "Yeah, I was wondering if you could check it out." I asked politely. "Sure." He said. He turned around and started walking towards the kitchens.

That was close. I turned the corner and quietly hurried the twins and Lee the other way. "Did she eat it all?" I asked when we were finally far enough away. "Yeah, thanks for distracting filtch." Said George. "That's my job." I said proudly.
