Tw: Eating Disorder
-
CEDRIC wouldn't stop talking about how fascinating muggle studies was to him.
"So is it true that there are things called cigarettes?" Cedric asked.
Ellie gave him a look and sighed.
"Yes Cedric, there are things called cigarettes." Ellie replied.
Cedric's eyes widened and they filled with a lot of joy.
"What are they?" He asked her.
"Let's just say they can kill you." Ellie exclaimed and Cedric's eyes widened.
"That's insane! Aren't they about the size of a pinky?" Cedric queried.
"Cedric." Ellie spoke.
"Yeah." He replied.
"Stop talking about cigarettes." Ellie shot.
"Sorry." He muttered.
Ellie rolled her eyes and looked at the shelfs.
"What book do you need again?" Ellie asked.
"Quidditch through the Ages. I think." Cedric advised.
"You think?" Ellie queried.
Cedric just gave her a grin and she rolled her eyes. She looked on the shelf and pulled out the book.
"Here." She spoke, and handed him the book.
"Thank you so much!" He thanked her and almost gave her a hug.
"Calm down Cedric all I did was give you a book." Ellie exclaimed.
Cedric rolled his eyes and quickly opened the book.
"Don't read standing up." Ellie told him.
"Your right!" He spoke.
Then he sat down on the floor.
Ellie just rolled her eyes at him.
"I meant at a table." Ellie said.
Cedric just looked up at her.
"Oh, well the table is just so far away." He complained.
Ellie rolled her eyes at him.
"You're a quidditch player I'm sure walking to a table less than a few feet away won't kill you." Ellie spoke.
Cedric just looked at her with a blank face.
"What?" He queried.
Ellie just rolled her eyes at him.
"I have to go meet Professor Lupin. I'll see you later Cedric." Ellie told him.
"Bye." He spoke, not looking up from the book.

"FRED, what are you doing here? You're never here without George." Percy spat.
Fred looked up at Percy and glared at him.
"Couldn't you see I was sleeping?" Fred shot.
"No, and I also don't care. Come on we've got to get going." Percy spoke, and held out a hand for Fred. Fred glared at him but took it.
"Where are we going anyway?" He asked.
"Fred it's time for supper don't be stupid." Percy spat.
"Already? Wow I must have slept amazing." Fred exclaimed.
"Yes, but that means you aren't going to get sleep tonight." Percy shot.
Fred just glared at him.
"Shut up Percy." He shot back.
Percy rolled his eyes and just dragged Fred to the great hall.
George ran up to Fred and gave him a concerned look.
"Freddie! I'm so glad you're okay, I was so worried!" George exclaimed, and quickly hugged Fred.
"I was sleeping. In the common room." Fred advised.
"I know that now! But I didn't know then so now I know you're okay." George explained.
Fred just furrowed his eyebrows.
"Did Angelina scare you again?" Fred queried.
"Yes." George sighed, and Fred chuckled at him.
He looked over and saw Ellie leave the great hall in a rush. He felt like he should go after her to make sure she was okay. But the problem was George dragged him to the Gryffindor table.
"Fred! Tell Angelina I'm not a baby." Ginny complained, as Fred sat down.
"That'd be a lie Ginny." Fred spoke.
Ginny slapped him.
"Ow!" Fred shot.
Ginny just glared at him.
"Whatever, you're probably just not thinking right anyway. I mean you keep on glancing over to see if your girlfriend came back." Ginny said, giving him another glare.
"Am not!" Fred shot.
"What is she talking about?" Angelina asked George whispering in his ear.
"I think it's about Ellie Smith I assume." George replied.
"Oh just zip it!" Fred shot at Ginny.
"Well I'm sorry for telling the truth! Besides, you are looking for her." Ginny exclaimed.
"No I'm not Ginny you're being ridiculous." Fred spoke, then started playing with his food. He quickly groaned. "Why did I even bother coming here? I'm not hungry!" Fred shot.
"I dragged you here." Percy exclaimed.
Fred just rolled his eyes.
"I'm going back to the common room." Fred exclaimed.
"Do you want me to come with you?" George asked.
"No I'll be fine." Fred told him. George gave him a small smile and Fred walked away.
He was about to walk to the common room. Then, he saw Blaise Zabini walk away with a shocked look on his face. He looked up at Fred and his eyes widened.
"Don't go that way." Blaise muttered.
"What?" Fred queried, not knowing what Blaise had said.
"Don't go that way." Blaise shot, Fred looked down at him.
"Why? That's the quickest way to my common room." Fred said, giving the boy a glare.
"Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you." Blaise muttered. Fred didn't hear what Blaise had said.
He walked further but then he stopped and saw her.
Ellie, she was crying. He'd never seen her cry before. And he felt awful.
"Elle- Ellie?" He queried, he hoped it wasn't her.
She turned around and gave him a small smile.
"Hi." She spoke.
"Are you okay?" Fred asked quickly.
"Just stressed." She admitted.
He looked over at her, he felt like she was lying but he didn't want to say anything. After all she was crying, and seeing her cry was painful for him. Even though it was the first time he saw her cry. And he hoped it was the last.
He looked at her and gave her a smile.
"Do you want a hug?" He asked.
She just gave him a glare. and shook her head.
He just looked at her and he didn't care that she shook her head. Then he wrapped his arms around her. And hugged her.
Ellie was shocked with the embrace but she slowly hugged back.
He was comforting her.
And she was fine with it.
"You know I'm here if you want to talk." Fred assured.
"I know." She replied softly.
Then she let go and walked away.
He just stood there, shocked.

"ELLIE are you okay." Brandon asked, causing her to get out of her trance. "You look a bit lost." He advised.
"I'm fine just tired." She told him.
Brandon just gave her a small smile.
He looked over somewhere and Ellie turned to where he was looking.
Lee Jordan.
"You should tell him." She advised.
"I can't do that." Brandon spoke.
"Why not?" Ellie asked.
Brandon just shook his head.
"Do you know one thing that I envy about you. I envy how you aren't scared to speak your mind." Brandon admitted.
Ellie just looked at him.
"Okay. But like I said, tell him." She exclaimed.
"It's not that easy Ellie." Brandon said.
"Why?" She asked.
"You'll understand when you're older." He advised.
She rolled her eyes at his words.
"You'll understand when you're older."
What was the point of people saying that? She wanted to know. However she wasn't going to fight for the answer. She didn't find that very important. Instead she just decided to read. She had a test coming up and she didn't want to fail it.
Especially since what happened last time with Theo.
Brandon closed his book and looked at his sister.
"I have to go. I have quidditch, I'll see you later okay Ellie." Brandon exclaimed.
Ellie nodded and Brandon left. She saw Lee Jordan glancing towards her and after a few minutes of trying to read she sighed.
"What do you want Lee?" Ellie queried.
Lee looked shocked at her and chuckled and quickly walked over to her.
"Wow Ellie Smith, fancy seeing you here." He spoke.
Ellie rolled her eyes at him.
"Is there a reason why you keep glancing here?" She asked.
"Oh well um. Do you know where your brother went?" He asked.
Ellie smirked for a moment.
"He's at. his quidditch practice, why?" She queried.
Lee's face widened.
"N-no reason!" He shot, then he ran.
Ellie furrowed her eyebrows but then she continued reading.
Fred Weasley entered the library and spotted her. She didn't see but he went and sat in front of her. He smiled as he realized she was very concentrated with the book that she was reading. He smiled for a second then cleared his throat.
She looked up at him and smiled.
"Hey." She spoke softly.
"Hey, are you feeling better?" He asked.
Ellie gave him a smile.
"You don't need to pity me Fred." She said.
"I do not want to pity you. I'm just concerned for you as a friend." He explained.
She felt a weird feeling when he said the word friend but she just ignored it.
"Well I'm fine. I told you it was just stress. No need to worry." She assured him.
"Are you sure? Because I told you, and I want you to know that I'm here for you." Fred exclaimed, and he looked at her in the eye.
She just gave him a smile.
"I'm okay, trust me." She spoke.
"I want to believe you but I'm pretty sure you're lying." He advised.
"Do you want me to punch you?" She queried.
"There she is." Fred spoke, then smiled at her and she smiled back.
Then he looked at her again and grabbed one of her hands. She stared at him for a moment.
"But still, I'm here for you." He spoke. She quickly let go of his hand.
"Same here." She replied.
He smiled at her and quickly got up.
"I should get going, I have to meet up with my idiot brother." Fred exclaimed.
Ellie smiled at him.
"Bye Freddie." She spoke.
"Bye Elle." He spoke, with a smile.
And then he left.

GEORGE was waiting for Fred in the Gryffindor common room. He assumed that Fred was somewhere but then he saw Lee Jordan run in.
"George! We have an emergency!" Lee shot.
George eyed Lee carefully.
"What is it?" George asked.
"I just saw Fred and Ellie Smith sitting together in the library!" Lee shot.
"Okay so." George spoke, uninterested with what Lee was saying.
"I stayed a bit longer than I wanted too and it looked like a very interesting conversation." Lee exclaimed.
George looked up at Lee.
"Why do you say that?" George asked.
Lee hesitated for a moment.
"I saw him hold her hand!" Lee whispered.
"Really?" George queried.
"I swear." Lee spoke.
George just rolled his eyes at Lee.
"Are you sure?" George questioned.
"Positive! I saw it with my own two eyes!" Lee exclaimed.
"Why are you so invested? Fred told me he and Ellie are just friends." George advised, then started to walk away.
"It looked like they were in love George!" Lee shot.
George stopped in his tracks.
"Love?" He questioned.
"Yes!" Lee exclaimed.
George just gave him a look.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes I am sure. George you should see the way they look at each other." Lee explained, and George just fidgeted with his tie for a second.
Just then Fred walked in and George looked at him.
"Fred. Where were you?" George asked, Fred just looked at him.
"I was with a friend." Fred answered.
"Which friend?" George queried.
"Just a friend." Fred muttered, and started to go towards the dorms.
"It was-." Lee was cut off with George covering his mouth.
"I have no idea what Lee is talking about." George exclaimed and Lee licked George's hand. "Ew!" George shot.
Fred just looked at the two concerned.
"What are you two going on about?" Fred asked.
"We aren't going on about anything!" George exclaimed.
Fred just looked at the two confused.
"Okay, well I'm going to write to mum. She asked me to write to her. For some reason." Fred spoke.
Then headed to the dorms.
George looked back for a second.
"Fred never sends letters to mum!" George shot.
Lee looked at George for a moment.
"I have an idea." Lee spoke.

"CHASE shut up!" Daphne shot.
"Well it's not like it was my choice to be partners!" Chase told her.
Daphne rolled her eyes at him and looked over at George Weasley who had been looking at them for a while.
"Could you tell Weasley to stop looking at us." Daphne shot.
"Why should I?" Chase queried.
Daphne rolled her eyes and George walked over to them.
"Can I help you?" Daphne asked.
"Yes actually. What do you know about Fred and Ellie?" George asked them.
"How do we know you aren't Fred?" Chase queried.
"Fred would never walk over here." George spoke.
Chase nodded and Daphne looked at him.
"What do you want?" Daphne asked.
"Has Ellie mentioned about having a crush."
"I don't even think Ellie has ever felt an emotion in her entire life." Chase admitted.
Daphne glared at Chase and rolled her eyes.
"If she ever liked anyone she probably wouldn't tell us." Daphne explained.
"Why not?" George queried.
"Chase can't keep a secret." Daphne spoke.
"And she just doesn't like talking about feelings much." Chase advised, and glared at Daphne.
Daphne rolled her eyes and looked at George.
"You don't think they like each other?" She queried.
George looked to the ground.
"You do!" Daphne shot.
George looked around and then faced them.
"We'll do you guys?" George queried.
"Well I used too but not anymore." Chase advised.
Then George looked at Daphne.
"Well I don't think they like each other or have ever liked each other." Daphne exclaimed.
"Really?" George questioned.
"I mean it's obvious they haven't discovered proper feelings yet." Daphne advised.
"What do you mean?" George asked.
"Well right now I think they both have many things on their mind. So it's hard for them to know if they like each other." Daphne explained.
"I had a lot of things on my mind when I liked Rosie." Chase shot.
"Puppies don't count." Daphne spoke.
George chuckled and Chase frowned.
"I think you're right Greengrass." George exclaimed.
Then he got up and left.
"Do you really think they're going to like each other in the future?" Chase asked.
"Don't be stupid. Now work on the assignment." Daphne shot.
Jane walked over to them quickly.
"What was he asking you guys?" Jane queried.
"Oh he was just-."
Daphne quickly nudged Chase so he could stop talking. He glared at her but then looked back at Jane.
"Anyways, he was asking if Ellie liked Fred or if she ever did." Chase told Jane, and Daphne looked at him.
"Did you not get the nudging part!" She shot and Chase just widened his eyes.
"Why didn't he ask me? I'm Ellie's best friend." Jane exclaimed.
Daphne and Chase looked at each other.
"You tell her." Daphne spoke.
Chase sighed and looked at Jane.
"Well he probably didn't because you hang out with Micheal Corner more than you do with us. And I guess you sort of drifted." Chase explained, not looking Jane in the eye.
"So you hang out with that Ernie guy. That doesn't mean you and Ellie drifted." Jane spoke.
Daphne chuckled for a moment and Jane glared at her.
"Well I still talk to her everyday sometimes you can go days without talking to us." Chase explained.
"You're being ridiculous." Jane shot.
"You've also missed things." Chase added.
"Like what?" Jane queried.
Chase looked at the ground and started to fidget with a loose string on his robes.
"My birthday." Chase muttered.
"What?" Jane queried.
"He said his birthday." Daphne spoke.
Jane looked at Chase.
" I didn't miss it. I told you happy birthday." Jane exclaimed.
"Yeah two days after." Chase mumbled.
Jane just sighed and got up.
"I have to go. I need to help a first year with work." Jane explained and quickly left.
Chase looked at Daphne for a moment.
"What did you get for the fourth one?" He asked.
Daphne just gave him a look and just handed the paper to him.
"Don't even think about thanking me." She shot.

DAPHNE looked at Ellie from the Slytherin table and turned to Blaise.
"Have you noticed anything about Ellie lately?" Daphne asked.
Blaise gave her a look.
"What about her?" Blaise queried.
She felt like he knew something. Blaise always knew something.
"Do you think she fancies Fred Weasley?" Daphne queried.
Blaise laughed for a second.
"Oh please Daph of course she doesn't. What got that in your head?" Blaise queried.
"I don't know." Daphne told him.
Then she looked at Fred Weasley who was talking to Lee Jordan. She glanced at Ellie again.
She was staring at Fred. And there was a weird look in her eye. Ellie looked away and started to talk to Luna Lovegood.
Daphne looked over at Fred Weasley.
He was staring at Ellie. He had the same look in his eye.
"Oh my salazar!" Daphne shot, causing stares from other Slytherins.
"What is wrong with you?" Draco Malfoy spat.
"Shut up Malfoy." Blaise shot. Then he looked at Daphne. "What's wrong with you?" Blaise whispered.
"I have to go find someone." Daphne said, then she walked to the Hufflepuff table.
"What are you doing here?" Cedric queried.
"If you're here to mock some of the muggleborns just so you know my blood is just as pure as yours!" Ernie Macmillan shot.
"I'm not here to do that. And I know that I'm not stupid Ernie." Daphne exclaimed.
Cedric just looked at her and he motioned to Chase. Who was sleeping on one of Cedric's books.
"Chase!" Daphne shot.
Chase woke up confused.
"Oh no. She's come to kill me!" Chase exclaimed.
Daphne rolled her eyes at him and then grabbed him by the ear.
"Ow! Don't do that it hurts!" Chase shouted.
Then Daphne started dragging him and they were both earning stares from the Hufflepuffs.
"Don't mind us." Daphne chuckled.
Then Daphne pushed Chase in the hallway.
"Hey!" Chase shot.
"George was right. Ellie and Fred are in love but they don't know it yet." Daphne spoke in a whisper.
"What! Is that why you woke me up?" Chase questioned.
"Yes. Chase there was this look in their eyes and I don't know how to explain it." Daphne advised.
Chase's face softened for a moment.
"Was it the look Rosie and Jake had?" Chase queried.
Daphne thought for a moment.
"It was more than that." Daphne exclaimed.
Chase looked at Daphne for a moment.
"How?" He asked.
"It's a gut feeling Chase. And I'm pretty sure that they will end up realizing. One day." Daphne spoke. "Wait. Why did you ask about Rosie and Jake?" Daphne asked.
"I don't know." He mumbled.
"Do you still like her?" Daphne queried.
"No, I mean I won't deny I liked her for a very long time. However now when I look at her all I see is my best friend's sister." Chase advised. Then he looked at Daphne. "I have no idea why I'm telling you this." Chase admitted.
"I just think you needed to get it off your chest." She explained. Then placed her hand on his shoulder. "Never do it again." She shot.
"Got it!" Chase shot.
"Now, I'm going to push you in again." Daphne warned.
"No please don't, I almost tripped last time and-."
Then she pushed him.
"Ow." Chase groaned.

ELLIE was playing with her food when she saw Daphne push Chase in the great hall. She was about to walk towards them but Jane sat next to her.
"Hey." Jane greeted her.
"Hi." Ellie replied.
Jane looked at Ellie with a smile.
"How are you?" Jane asked.
"I'm fine." Ellie spoke then looked at Brandon who was staring at Lee.
"That's nice, everything's great with me too." Jane advised.
Ellie had glanced over from Lee to Fred.
Then she looked at Jane again.
"That's great Jane." Ellie spoke.
Brandon looked at the two.
"Grapes?" He asked.
"No thank you." Ellie spoke.
Then she grabbed a strawberry with her fork. She looked at it for a moment. She wanted it, but she felt like she didn't earn it.
Then she looked at it for a moment. Then she took a bite out of it. She enjoyed it even if she felt guilty.
Then she looked up and saw Fred looking at her. He smiled for a moment and she smiled back.
One thing she knew for sure was that she enjoyed being friends with Fred Weasley. And she knew he enjoyed being hers.
