Up to No Good ~a Fred Weasley(+ cedric diggory) fanfiction~

~𝕖𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥~

Ron, Harry, Hermione, and I get through Professor Sprout's class; bubotuber pus. I shudder in disgust at the thought. Then we make our way down to Hagrid's hut for Care of Magical Creatures. He showed us these creatures called Blast-Ended Skrewts. Malfoy was a git, as per usual.

"Oi, Roberts," He said, I rolled my eyes and looked over to him, "You've got a little something on your neck there."

"Yes, thank you, Malfoy, I'm aware." I said

"A gift from your blood traitor boyfriend, I presume." He said with a nasty smirk "Disgusting. At least get your neck sucked on by someone from a proper wizarding family."

"Say one more thing about him, I dare you." I said. I expected him to come back with another insult, one that I had no response to, but instead, he just laughed. Ron pulled on my shoulder to get me to turn away from Draco

"I hate him." I muttered to Ron

"I know." Ron assured

Someone really needs to get that boy under control. After class, we started off to the great hall for lunch. I ran up next to Harry and held his hand as we walked

"Hey." He said

"Hi." I swung our arms back and forth. When we got to the great hall, I saw Fred, George, and Lee. I walked over to Fred and he stood up to hug me

"There's the lovely couple now." Malfoy bellowed across the room. Fred and I turned our heads to look at him. "You guys are perfect together, a blood-traitor and a mudblood." He drew out the last word, "Aye, Weasley, you noticed that mark on her neck? Shame she got it from you. Couldn't find anyone better? Well, I guess blood-traitors are the best a mudblood could get." At this point, everyone in the great hall was looking at Fred and me. I felt the rise of Fred's chest as he was about to say something back

"Please don't. You'll only make it worse."

"But I really want to." He argued

"I know you do." I said gently "But everyone's watching. Even the teachers. I don't want you getting in trouble." I reasoned

"Okay, I won't say anything." Fred gave in and led me to sit between him and Lee at the table. He hunched over so I could rest my head on his shoulder. Silent tears rolled down my face and George, who was sitting right across from me, noticed and, without a spoken word, told Fred, "Hey, Bell, don't cry. Don't give him the satisfaction, darling."

"He's horrible." I said and wrapped my arms around Fred's neck, my crying, while still quiet, was able to be heard by a few people sitting close to us.

"I'll kill him." I heard him whisper to George and Lee

"I know, mate." Lee said to him, then placed his hand on my back, "It will be okay, Isabella." He told me then turned back to resume eating his food

"Weasley," that irritating voice was back, "you think she's crying because she knows what I said was true? That you're the best she could do?" I heard Malfoy's voice get louder as he approached but I didn't look up at him

"Malfoy," Lee mocked, "you think she's crying because you're a bloody git who doesn't know how to be respectful?"

"Get away from our table." George said

"Gladly." Malfoy said and left

"I'm just gonna go back to my room," I said, wiping the tears from my cheeks. I turn to Hermione, "get my work?" She nodded

"I'll stay with you. Come on, love." Fred stood up and held his hand out for me. I took it and stood up. I walked over to Harry, Ron, and Hermione

"I'll see you guys later." I said to them and messed up the boys' hair
