The Truth Of Blackthorn (Fred Weasley Fanfic)

27- Short-Circut

I spent a lot of time either in my dorm room alone or with the twins, Angelina hasn't approached me in a week, instead, she was whispering in the corner with Katie Bell and Emily Lestrange and I knew something was brewing. But all I could do was try my best to carry on with my life and ignore the looks and whispers. It was going so well until I was walking through the halls towards Charms a couple of days into December.

I was quite content with my current mood, I was helping Harry quickly figure out the second task without giving it away too much, but the less that boy has to worry about the better. I was mid-conversation with George about plans for after we finished school properly when my brain short-circuited. I stood silently next to George as we watched the scene in front of us.

There it was. In plain sight was Fred up against a wall with Angelina pressed up against him with her lips locked on his. My brain reset I did the first thing I could think of, my wand in my hand, "Oh my god, George, look. It's Katie Bell 2.0" I said in a dry tone and Angelina jumped back and Fred's eyes went straight to me but I didn't look at him, my eyes were on Angelina, "Flipendo!" I slipped my wand into my robes as I watched Angelina fly down the hall and fall to the feet of Draco Malfoy, who had just turned the corner with his friend Theodore Nott. I stared at Fred for a minute before Draco called my name and I shook my head. "Fuck this. Fuck all of this" I pushed past Fred and when he tried to grab my hand, I pulled my arm back sharply and carried on walking.

"You okay?" Draco asked me once I reached him and I just gave him a look, "Of course, not"

"Just follow me" I snapped and walked down the hall, "Bring your friend for all I care" I added and Draco and Theo jogged to keep up with me. I didn't stop until I had gotten into the Room of Requirement completely forgetting I had Draco and Theo right behind me. I picked up a lamp from a table and launched it at the wall. "Motherfucking son of a bitch!"

"Feel better?" Draco asked and I turned back to him and took a deep breath.

"A little bit," I said and Draco smirked.

"Are you sure you're a Gryff?" Theo asked me and I shrugged, "I guess you have some Slytherin in you"

"This is-" Draco started.

"Theodore Nott" I interrupted, "Hi"

"Hi" Theo replied, "What the hell just happened?"

"I don't even know!" I said and threw my arms up before falling onto a black sofa, Draco sat next to me and Theo sat in an armchair opposite. "Angelina fucking Johnson happened! Caught her lip-locking with Fred"

"Weasley?" Theo asked and I nodded.

"They have a complicated relationship" Draco offered and I rolled my eyes, "Not much of one anymore if I hazard a guess" I laughed humorlessly.

"I need a distraction," I said and sat up and Draco's eyes lit up.

"I've asked around and I heard you've got quite a voice," Draco offered and I tilted my head, "Theo's dad specializes in music, I think if we record a song-"

"I could give it to my father and he can get it out there" Theo interjected, "That's if you have a talent"

"She has talent from what I hear," Draco said and I rolled my eyes again.

"I'm not in the mood to fucking sing, Draco, much less record it" I snapped and Draco rolled his eyes.

"Do you want a distraction or not?" Draco snapped back and I sighed. "Plus why pass up the opportunity to get yourself noticed for music?"

"Dammit. Fine" I said and waved my wand while muttering a few words and a set of drums appeared in a corner and piano in another. Theo pulled out a tape recorder and I laughed, "Never thought I'd see a wizard carrying a bloody tape recorder"
