"You know... the longer you stare the more chance you'll have of him turning around and catching you" I told Holly quietly with a smirk a few hours later as I leant against the table next to her and watched as she turned red and we listened to the rain batter off the windows around us
"Oh be quiet Amelia" she mumbled quietly as I let out a light laugh as she finally tore her gaze away from Fred who was standing laughing with George on the other side of the room as I turned to her as I passed her a glass from behind us as I took one for myself and smiled at her
"Why don't you just go over there and talk to him?"
"Because that would just feel awkward"
"How long have you liked him?"
"W-what I don't like him. Why do you think I like him? What makes you think that? Who said I even like someone? Did someone say I like someone? Was it Ron? It was Ron wasn't it?" She asked quickly as I stood there with an amused look as her cheeks turned pink
"You clearly like him, I mean.... you were staring at him unblinkingly for about three solid minutes"
"Oh fine. I've liked him since not that long into second year- happy?" She mumbled as I smirked slightly and finished my drink before walking away and towards the two who had turned with grins on their faces after I stood next to them
"Ah Amelia Black, what can we do for you?"
"Okay, first. Don't greet me like that-"
"Okay-"
"And secondly, I'm actually only here for one of you. But don't worry George, I'll be back in less than a minute, follow me Fred" I said with a small smile as I watched him throw his twin a concerned look before taking a tentative step forward as I linked arms with him and started walking to where I just was, winking at Holly as she turned pink
"What's happening?"
"Please, Fred. This is the most obvious thing in the whole world. So I swear to Merlin if you fucking hurt her, make her upset or disrespect her in any fucking way I'll be after you with a knife in hand prepared to cut you limb from limb- was that clear enough?" I asked him with a pointed look as I stopped and turned to him as he looked at me taken aback while a light pink colour had spread across his cheeks and he nodded as a smile crossed my face
"Crystal"
"Good- now listen to me Fred, I know my sister like I know my own mind. You won't find any one more kind or as trusting as my sister. Make sure to treat her well please, I share the same love for her as you do for George so I'm begging you please don't let anything happen to her" I said to him after we had started walking again, lowering my voice as we got closer to Holly as I let go of his arm
"Well I'll leave you to it" I smiled before walking off, turning my head around to give Holly another wink as she sent me a grateful smile as I walked over to George
"If he wasn't going to make a move I knew I'd have to do it for him" I told him laughing as he sent a smirk towards me while I glanced around
"Have you got my bag?"
"Yep, we've kept it from your mother and ours since we got here- and you weren't the only one trying to get him to make a move, it was far too obvious he likes her" he told me as he passed me my bag and I hugged it gratefully as we both laughed and I slung it over my shoulder
