From Second to First. // Fred Weasley

29.

DA. Dumbledores army, a group started to help us students learn to protect ourselves against those who wanted to do harm against those closest to us. In my case Harry.

We met weekly in the room of requirement just before dinner. Harry went over all spells he was taught and ones he believed would be most beneficial to us.

"Today we are going to try the Patronus charm." Harry nodded holding his wand out. "Now this one.. this is a hard one to summon, you have to think of your happiest moment without allowing anything to cause you to waver, when you have your happy moment be ready and say 'Expecto Patronum." Harry continued to explain as he walked around us. I closed my eyes already knowing my happy moment before I got ready.

"Expecto Patronum!" I said firmly before flicking my wand, much to my surprise the blue ball of light formed into the shape of a badger. A smile crossed my face as I thought about Fred and I in London, our first official date. I watched my patronus as it moved its head, a chuckle escaped my mouth as Harry walked over to me.

"Are you used to it yet?" He asked looking at mine. "Magic?"

"Honestly Harry, I don't think I'll ever be used to it.. it's unreal to me." I smiled looking at him. Fred and George stood across the room talking with each other completely oblivious to what was going on around them.

"HEY!" Harry yelled. "Weasley twins! Focus!"

"Oi! Alright alright!" George chuckled. I set my wand down my patronus disappearing as I watched George attempt to summon his, he did after a few tries. A magpie began flying around. I watched it with a smile. I watched Fred his eyebrows furrowed as he focused.

"Come on Freddie." I whispered as I watched him, I could sense his frustration but I gave him a smile. He noticed me and smiled back before he gave it another attempt, his smile grew as he saw his form in front of him, my eyes going wide as I saw with it was. A badger, Fred and I had the same patronus.

"You know what that means right?" Harry asked.

"What?"

"It means he loves you." He chuckled hugging me and kissing my head before walking back to Ron and Hermione.

Fred's grin stayed large as he watched it move around in front of him. I put my wand up casting mine again to which he finally noticed. He looked at me his face radiating pure excitement as he put his wand down and ran over to me. He cupped my cheeks and kissed me.

"Hi Freddie." I whispered.

"Hi love." He chuckled hugging me.

"Looks like you love me." I winked my hand over his has I giggled.

"Oh that I do. I love you so damn much you have no idea." He chuckled leaning to kiss me again as a loud bang was heard from the opposite end of the room.

"What was that?" I asked quietly, Fred's hand dropped and took mine as it happened again over and over. He pushed me back behind him protectively and George had come to stand next to him, he gave me a smile. Before I saw what was going on the sound of Umbridges voice rang through my ears, my hand tightening in Fred's. He sensed my nervousness.

"George we need to get her out of here." He mumbled. "Umbridge can't know she's here.."

"I have just the thing." He smirked. "I was saving it for filch later but it seems like it's needed more now." George walked towards Umbridge who was quickly telling her minions to grab students who were in the room with us.

I looked through Fred's arm noticing Draco who was looking around a smirk on his face. Fred carefully made his way to towards the entrance of the room Draco spotting me as Fred pulled me with him, my stomach dropped knowing I was going to be stuck in detention with Umbridge and Draco was the one who was gonna put me there but to my surprise he looked away. Right before we made it to the door George threw the creation him and Fred had come up with the whole room filling with black smoke that leaked into the hallway. Fred wrapped his arm around me and quickly pulled me out of the room and to the Gryffindor tower. Once we made it he pulled me to his room and closed the door behind us.

"Fred we can't leave everyone there!" I coughed.

"And you can't get detention again. You have no more fucking room on your hand!" He said grabbing it and looking at my scars. "This is sick. You and I both know it. And I can promise you. No one, and I mean no one will be dealing with that vile woman, nor will they be sitting in detention."

"How do you know that?" I asked.

"Because I have a plan, and I'm positive George will help me with it." He smirked as the door opened his twin running inside.

"Georgie?" Fred asked looking over my head.

"Yeah mate?" George coughed.

"Remember our conversation earlier? The one Harry rudely interrupted."

"Of course I do you git. It was not even 20 minutes ago." He chuckled.

"I think our time here as come to an end." Fred smirked the same smirk appearing on George's face, I looked between the two confusion written all over my face.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

George's smirk fell as he realized what was about to happen. He excused himself to the hallway closing the door behind him.

"Fred what's going on?" I whispered.

He pulled me into a hug and kissed my head. "You know I love you right?"

"F-Fred.. you're scaring me.. what's going on?"

"Indie Fred and I got approved for a store in Diagon Alley." He spoke up his voice quiet.

"Fred that's great.. that means you can start with the shop after you finish school!" I smiled.

"Indie.. my love, we aren't finishing.." he frowned. "George and I discussed it, we were going to finish out the week, and I was gonna tell you in a way different than this.. but I have an idea to help everyone get out of detention."

"Fred.. you can leave.." I whispered. "I-I.. I need you here.. I want you here."

"My love, I'm sorry." He whispered hugging me again kissing my head. I put my hands on his chest and pushed myself away.

"S-so you're just leaving? Leaving your friends here? Your girlfriend?" I hiccuped.

"Indie.. listen to me, I am not leaving you forever, you'll see me at Christmas break? And I am just an owl away." He spoke softly reaching for my hand.

"D-don't touch me Fred Weasley." I mumbled backing towards the door. "You had no desire to tell me any of this when you even started the process and now here we are. You telling me your leaving Hogwarts today! Just like that! And now what am I supposed to do Fred? My person is leaving! My best friend is leaving! My two people are leaving me!" I said before turning and grabbing by the doorknob. "You wanna leave? Then goodbye Fred." I said before closing the door behind me.

I walked Down the stairs to the common room, George was sitting on a chair. I looked at him as tears finally started to fall, he stood up to come towards me but I shrugged him off and made my way out the door and down to the dungeons, no desire to see Fred or George again.

(Can we all agree Indie is dramatic af.)
