《w o n d e r f u l [f.w]》20.

The next morning, my head pounded and my mouth was dry. I was very much hungover. But, so was everyone else.
I woke up with Fred's arm around me, in a sort of side hug. I couldn't remember much about last night, but it would come back to me soon enough.
I went up to get a glass of water from my room, my head was throbbing - how many shots of fire whiskey did I have?
"Mornin" I greeted Katie as I came into our dorm. She'd somehow managed to get to the dorm before passing out, but was sleeping on my bed - it was the closest to the door.
Katie didn't reply, but sort of groaned to signal she was still alive.
I smiled, and went and got my glass, got dressed, then went back down to the common room.
Lee was starting to wake up, and so were Cedric and Cho.
Fred was still asleep - he was always a heavy sleeper.
I tried remembering what happened last night.
Laughing.
Dancing.
Singing.
Food.
Spin the bottle?
Oh yeah - I kissed Cho's cheek.
People sleeping.
I tried to think further into the night, and there were a lot of blurry memories. Then, I remembered.
Oh.
God.
I quickly turned to see Fred beginning to wake up - perfect timing. I'd have to speak to him about whether we're actually together or if he was just very drunk. I hoped he was being honest, but who knows?
Fred started properly waking up, and he also was groaning from the hangover.
I waved my wand at him, and gave him the anti hangover charm. Sirius taught me that - I don't know if it's good or bad that my dad taught me it, but I'm forever grateful.
"Thanks darling." He whispered.

I snapped my head and looked at him. Did he just call me darling?
"Anytime Freddie." I replied.
He shuffled over to my side of the sofa, putting his arms around my waist, and putting his chin on the top of my head.
"Freddie?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you remember last night?"
"Only the good bits."
I could tell he was smiling.
I turned to look him in the eyes, and just pulled him into a hug.
"You don't know how long I've waited for this." He murmured into my hair.
"Not as long as me Fred Weasley." I whispered into his chest.
Our little moment was soon ruined by Lee cheering and yelling at the top of his lungs.
"YES! FINALLY!" He shouted, running around the common room - more like stumbling really - which woke up everyone else.
He then proceeded to go around the half awake, hungover group of teenagers, asking for galleons.
"Lee? What are you doing?" I asked him.
"Only collecting my bet money Black." He replied grinning.
"You didn't - you did!" I gasped, then burst into laughter. Fred did as well.
"You knew!" I said, playfully hitting his arm.
"Well of course - it was nice to know people were rooting for us." He grinned.
"You'll be very pleased to know the house elfs also like us then." I said to him, and Lee's face became more ecstatic.
"EVEN THE FREAKING HOUSE ELFS SHIPPED YOU! IVE GOT TO FIND PROFESSOR FLITWICK HE OWES ME FIVE GALLEONS!" Lee cheered, quickly running out of the common room - he'd obviously learnt the hangover spell too otherwise he'd never be this excited. Actually, he probably would still run around.
And soon, word spread around the castle that Y/N Black and Fred Weasley were finally together.
Snape was very much irritated. If they had waited another week, he'd have won ten galleons from Dumbledore - he'd put them both in detention for that.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
