  Two weeks went by fast, Audrey was shocked when the Hogsmeade trip was upon them. Audrey was putting her hair into a ponytail when Fred knocked on her door making all the girls in the dorm turn towards it seeing a smiling Fred. "Hello ladies, just here to pick up my lovely girlfriend, there she is!" Fred said, walking over to Audrey and kissing her cheek.

  "Hope you don't mind, we have to take a pit stop after a little while." Fred whispered into Audrey's ear, making the blonde smile softly, "of course not, well bye girls!" Audrey yelled, grabbing her white purse that went well with her lavender dress. The two walked hand in hand to filch who was waiting for permission slips.

  Quickly the two handed him their slips but not without him sending a glare at Fred with a warning look making the ginger smirk at the care keeper. "I've noticed you haven't pranked him yet how come?" Audrey asked Fred sitting in the carriage. "Me and George are waiting for the perfect opportunity." Fred responded slouching across from her so nobody else would sit with them.

  "Speaking of your other half, where is he?" Audrey asked, raising an eyebrow, making Fred smile, grabbing her hand, "he's going to meet us at our pit stop. For now it's just me and you, is that okay?" he asked, looking a little worried making Audrey chuckle. "If i didn't want to spend alone time with you i wouldn't be dating you, now I'm assuming we are going to zunkos first, then the three broomsticks for butterbeer, but what's are pitstop?" Audrey stated making Fred send her a smile and kissed her hand.

  "Don't worry about it darling. I have the whole day planned and our pitstop won't be super long 30 minutes give or take." he mumbled at the last part getting out of the carriage when they arrived and helping Audrey out making the blonde roll her blue eyes. The two walked to zunkos Fred acting like a child while Audrey looked around, it was starting to get colder outside and it looked like it might snow very soon making Audrey regret wearing a dress.

  Once inside the famous joke shop that was filled with many Hogwarts students some Audrey recognized and some she didn't. Fred picked out a few things mumbling under his breath while Audrey saw Lee grabbing something across from them. While Fred was busy Audrey quickly walked over to Lee "hi!" she said, scaring the dark skinned boy almost making him drop his stuff.

  "Oh it's just you, hey Audrey, where's never mind found him." Lee said chuckling, making Audrey smile "thought I'd come say hi while he's busy buying stuff, anyways how's your day been?" she asked swaying on her feet watching Fred buy his things from afar. "Oh it's been good, just been lonely, Angelina is hanging out with Katie and Lorelei is with George and you are with Fred obviously, sometimes I hate being the only single one in our group."

  Audrey frowned at the boy's words but didn't have time to respond when Fred came over sending Lee a soft smile. "Hurry up mate you'll miss the meeting, come on Addie we've got to go." Fred said, grabbing the girl's hand and walking out of the store to a empty looking pub. "Why are we coming he- oh never mind hi guys!" Audrey said smiling at the golden trio, Lorelei and George plus a few more Hogwarts students.

  Fred walked over to the bartender "hi, could we have... twenty seven butterbeers, please?" Audrey held back a giggle when the bartender glared at him "cheers! Couch up everybody i haven't got enough gold for this plus i still have to take my lovely girlfriend to a couple stores." Fred said, passing out the butterbeers.

  Fred walked Audrey over to Lorelei and George sitting her down then sitting next to her before Comrac could making the blonde boy glare at the red head who smiled. "here ." Fred whispered, handing Audrey her butterbeer, making the girl smile and try to give him her money "nope, not happening." he mumbled, making Audrey scoff and turn her attention to Hermione.

  "Er, well er hi!" Hermione said making the group focus on her "well... um well you know why you're here. Erm well Harry here had the idea I mean... I had the idea that it might be good if people who wanted to study defense against the dark arts and I mean really study it, you know, not the rubbish that Umbridge is doing with us." Audrey smiled, happy somebody said it.

  "Because nobody could call that defense against the dark arts." many people cheered. "Well, I thought it would be good if we, well, took matters into our own hands." "and by that I mean learning how to defend ourselves properly not just theory but the real spells." "You want to pass your defense against the dark arts O.W.L too though I bet?" a boy asked, making Audrey roll her eyes.

  "Of course I do, but I want more than that, I want to be properly trained in defense because because... because lord Voldemort's back." a few people gasped and some shrunk, Audrey swallowed quickly and grabbed Fred's hand worried. "Well... that's the plan anyway." said Hermione "if you want to join us, we need to decide how we're going to-" "where's the proof you-know-who is back?" said a blonde Hufflepuff in an aggressive voice.

  "Well Dumbledore believes it-" "you mean Dumbledore believes him." the Hufflepuff said pointing at harry making Audrey roll her eyes. "Who are you?" Ron said rather loudly, making Audrey hold back a laugh resting her head on Fred's shoulder. "Zacharias smith, and i think we've got the right to know exactly what makes him say you-know who is back." he said, making Audrey turn around to face the boy.

  "Look, that's really not what this meeting is about-" Hermione said "it's okay Hermione." said Harry standing up straight, staring at the crowd. "What makes me say you-know-whos back? I saw him. But Dumbledore told the wh9le school what happened last year, and if you didn't believe him, you don't believe me and I'm not wasting an afternoon trying to convince anyone." Harry's words shut multiple people up.

  "All Dumbledore told us last year...'' Audrey ignored the rest of his speech focusing on the floor. She even ignored Harry having a go and Fred and George going off on the kid. She finally came back to reality when Fred nudged her "we're signing the paper agreeing to be in the club then we are going out." Fred said, making Audrey nod and stand in the line next to Lorelei. "Hey" she mumbled, making the brunette turn and smile.

  "Hey, have you had fun?" Lorelei asked making Audrey shrug "eh, hoping the rest will be more entertaining." Audrey said, making Lorelei nod and turn back around signing the paper then handing it to Audrey who signed her name as pretty as she could then waved bye to Hermione Ron and harry walking out of the pub with Fred.

  "Where to next?" Audrey asked, pulling her hair out of the ponytail, making Fred smile and drag her a little bit down the street. He stopped outside of a bookstore Audrey had been to a couple times making the girl smile wide and pull the boy into a hug. "Thank you! I know you don't like quiet areas or books so thank you.'' Audrey said, rushing into the store a smiling Fred behind her.

  Fred watched Audrey look at many books, reading the back of them and admiring the covers. She grabbed a book that had red flowers on the front and a yellow book facing Fred. "I'll buy these okay, they are a lot since they are hard covers and you don't need to spend that mu- oh!" She was interrupted by Fred kissing her deeply and sneakily grabbing the books out of her hands then walking to the cashier.

  He quickly paid for them hearing Audrey mumble behind him about him "being cheesy and annoying." Fred turned around, handing the small bag to Audrey a smirk on his face. "I love you too, let's go." he said, pulling her into his side, smiling as he walked with her, feeling how giddy she was to get back to the common room.

  "I was going to offer to buy you a necklace but that can wait till Christmas since I'm broke and you obviously want to read lets go." Fred said kissing her temple and letting the girl run towards Hogwarts making him chase her laughing the whole time. 

sorry this took so long to get out, I've been super busy with school and I know I say that every time but trust me my school is a pain especially being a junior.
