Author's Note: Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you know I'm switching POVs from time to time in this story! For this chapter, we start off with Fred's POV. Hope you enjoy it!

Fred's POV:

The night that Elaine and I decided to finally be with each other was my happiest night at Hogwarts so far. We were in the common room until 4am. She actually fell asleep with her head on my lap around 3am, so I let her sleep while I finished up my paperwork. Once I was done, I gently moved her head so I could easily pick her up and bring her to her dormitory. I wrapped my arms underneath her as she nuzzled her head into my shoulder and neck. Although I knew she was asleep, I could've sworn I felt her kiss my neck gently as I carried her upstairs. Very careful not to wake her or any of the girls in her room up, I placed her on her bed. "Goodnight love," I whispered, kissing her lightly on the forehead. "Fred?" a voice called out in the dark. It was Hermione.

Whoops...guess I should've been quieter. "Yes?" I replied, hoping I had just imagined her calling my name. "Why are you in here?" she asked. I could hear her sitting up on her bed. "Elaine fell asleep in the common room. Just bringing her back up," I whispered back. "Did you ask her yet?" Hermione asked me. Due to the fact that Hermione was my brother's best friend, and the fact that she practically lives at my house now, she picked up on the fact that I liked Elaine. She actually knew me quite well if I'm being honest. "Yea...she said yes," I replied, smiling to myself. "How wonderful!" Hermione squealed. "Now go to your own room you'll wake her up!" Hermione added. I bid her a goodnight, kissed Elaine on the cheek, and left their room. When I went into my own, I knew George and my other roommate, Dean, were fast asleep, so I slipped into bed and passed out.

Elaine's POV:

I woke up the next morning wondering how I got back into my own bed after falling asleep downstairs. Figuring it must've been Fred who carried me up here, I smiled to myself. "Have a good night?" Hermione asked, scary the living daylights out of me. She was sitting on her bed, already dressed for class, and staring at me with a huge smile on her face. "I suppose," I replied, eyeing her suspiciously. "Well Fred carried you up here last night so can I assume it was rather a great night?" Hermione giggled. "I think it is safe to assume that...yes," I replied with a huge smile. "Ron owes me 5 knuts (wizard money)," Hermione said with a smile. "What!" I exclaimed. "We all knew you guys were going to end up together...just didn't know when. Seems like I know you two very well," Hermione said, standing up and swinging her bag around her shoulder. "Now if you'll excuse me...I have class in twenty minutes. I'll see you at lunch," Hermione said with a smile. She left the room and I began to get ready for the day. Luckily for me, I only have two classes on Tuesdays: Divination at 11am with Ron and Harry and Charms with Hermione at 2pm.

Once I was all put together for the day, I met with Harry and Ron to go down to breakfast. "Thanks a lot, Elaine, I owe Hermione 5 knuts now!" Ron exclaimed when he first saw me. "Well if I knew you guys were betting on me maybe I would've chosen a better time," I replied sarcastically. "Only joking," Ron said with a goofy laugh, placing his arm around me and giving my shoulder a squeeze.

"So what's this Divination lesson going to be like?" I asked the boys as we ate breakfast. "Well usually she picks one of us in the class and tells us we will die very soon," Harry said, sniggering. "Reckon it'll be you since you're new," Harry added, causing Ron to laugh out loud. "Wow thanks guys," I replied, laughing as well. Halfway through breakfast, Fred and George joined us. "Good morning love," Fred said, kissing me on the cheek. "Good morning love," George imitated, kissing Harry's cheek. "Haha," I replied sarcastically, though it was rather funny. "You guys fancy a fly this evening?" Harry asked us all. After everyone agreed, they all faced me to see what I would say. "Fine! But that in no way means I'm trying out for the Quidditch team," I replied, knowing that's why they wanted to fly tonight...to convince me of how I must tryout for the team. "Of course of course," Harry replied, giving secret looks at the others.

I eyed them cautiously and then was distracted when Draco walked into the Great Hall. He looked angry. He saw me sitting at the table, and then looked at Fred as if he hated him more than anything. "Oi!" Ron said, pulling me back to reality. Ron and Harry were standing up from the table, bags around their shoulders. "Time to go to class," Ron added. I quickly stood up, kissed Fred on the lips and left the Great Hall.

Careful not to make eye contact with Draco on the way out, the three of us slowly made our way to the North Tower. It was a long long walk. We had to go up seven flights of stairs and by the end, my legs were shaking with exhaustion. We finally made it to the classroom and the smell wafting from it made my eyes water. Incense and tea leaves...not a good combination. The room was hot and dry, and the professor, as Harry and Ron already guessed, proclaimed to the entire class that I would die a most terrible death in the spring.

Once that shitshow was over, Harry, Ron and I made our way back to the main part of the castle. Unfortunately, Harry and Ron had class and I had a free period, so I was left to my own devices. I quickly dropped off my bag in my dorm and then went for a nice stroll around the castle.

On my stroll I passed by Luna Lovegood who was helping Neville with his homework. Deciding not to distract them, I continued on. That's when I saw him...Draco. He was walking ahead of me and hadn't noticed me yet. We were on the sixth floor...there were no classrooms or anything on the sixth floor so I had no idea why he would be here. Perhaps he was taking a stroll as well.

"Following me now Granger?" Draco asked, catching me off guard as he turned to face me as I was walking towards him. "Not at all actually...just taking a stroll," I replied, passing Draco quickly. Unfortunately, my short legs couldn't compete with his long ones, and he caught up to me very quickly. "What are you doing on the sixth floor? There's nothing up here," Draco asked in a matter-of-fact tone. "I could ask you the same," I replied, raising my eyebrows at him. "Well, seeing as it's none of your business, I suppose I could say I'm just taking a stroll as well," he replied with a smirk. I blushed...looking down at my hands, when I noticed his hand had scratch marks. "What happened?" I asked, genuinely concerned. "Nothing. Maybe I'll tell you some other time," he replied, shoving his hand into his pocket once more and that's when I knew he really wasn't going to tell me. "Well this was fun, but I think I'm gonna go," I replied awkwardly, pointing towards the nearest staircase leading downstairs. "Wait," Draco said, taking my hand. "Just because your dating Weasley now doesn't me we aren't friends," he said, staring his gray eyes directly into my soul. I looked up at him, trying to remember every detail of his face. From his smirk to the faint freckles on his nose, he was handsome.

"Well when you came to see me in the hospital wing yesterday why is it I got a completely different feeling from you?" I asked, looking down at my shoes. Draco didn't reply...in fact he didn't even try to. He simply sighed and walked away from me. Since Draco had left the corridor, and there was no one else around, I walked towards the nearest window and sat on the floor underneath it. I let the sunshine from the window warm my face as I breathed deeply. I tried staying calm, though I was very upset. I suppose it was because I thought Draco was different. I started to ask myself why I even agreed to speak with him on the Hogwarts Express a few days ago. What did I think was going to happen? Was I that stupid to expect an actual friendship and possibly even a relationship with him?

As a few tears rolled down my cheek, I quickly wiped them away when I heard footsteps coming up the staircase closest to me. It was Draco again. He had his hand behind his back. "I'm really sorry...I suppose I'm just not used to someone I care about calling me out for being a prick," Draco said. As he talked, he pulled his hand out from behind his back and showed me a bouquet of licorice. I looked at him, confused. "I remember you said you wanted to try wizard candy," he said with a smile, still holding out the bouquet of candy. As I watched myself fall for his charm again, I smiled at him, laughing. "God I can't stand you!" I said, pulling his arm so he was forced to sit on the floor next to me. "So these are licorice wands. Nothing really magical about these besides the fact that they're wand shaped, but they're my favorite," Draco said, settling himself on the floor next to me. I gladly took a licorice wand and wasn't surprised at how amazing they tasted. "See...I'll never lie to you," Draco said, placing his hand on my thigh and giving it a squeeze.

I stared down at his hand on my thigh, knowing if Fred were to see this, he would beat the pulp out of Draco. "My bad, forgot you're with Weasel," Draco said after noticing me staring at his hand on my thigh. "Don't call him Weasel," I replied, looking over at him shoving another licorice wand in his mouth as he gave me a confused look. "Listen, you have to understand that the Weasley's and Harry are my family," I said. "But why date Fred? Doesn't make sense to me," Draco said with a know-it-all tone. "And why is that?" I asked. "Well it's clear you have feelings for me isn't it? Why not give me a shot?" Draco replied, with a smirk perfectly painted on his face. "Well you made it clear to me yesterday that you didn't want any-," I started, but I was cut off. Draco had kissed me...on the lips. I didn't even have time to process what had happened and as he pulled away his lips, he winked at me and left...leaving me more confused than I've ever been. Why would he do that? What was he playing at here?

I sat in a puddle of confusion when I heard the bell ring. It was lunch time and I was supposed to have met Hermione ten minutes ago! I quickly scrambled to my feet and rushed to the Great Hall. "Elaine are you alright? Looks like you just seen a ghost!" Hermione said as she spotted me walking towards her. "Can we talk after lunch maybe?" I asked, trying not to explode with the fact that Draco Malfoy just kissed me and ran. "Of course...are you sure you don't want to talk now?," she asked. I could tell she was genuinely concerned. "No I can't if Fred is in there," I replied. Just as I said this, I felt an arm wrap around me. It was Fred. He guided Hermione and I into the Great Hall as the crowd of students fought their way towards their tables.

Lunch went by fast. If I'm being honest...I don't remember what was talked about during lunch since I was distracted. "Ready to go Elaine?" Hermione asked. "Yup," I replied immediately, standing up from the table. When we exited the Great Hall, we still had an hour before Charms class. "Want to go outside?" I asked Hermione. I was scared of being overheard and there were less people outside. "Yes," she simply replied and we walked outside of the giant front doors.

Being in the sunshine helped me relax quite a bit as Hermione and I found a comfortable patch of grass in the shade to sit. "What's going on?" Hermione asked. "I'm not sure where to begin," I replied, worried she would be upset I didn't tell her all the details. I eventually did tell her everything. I told her what Draco said to me on the train and I told her that he made me upset at the hospital wing because he didn't stay. And finally I told her what happened with Draco just now. "What about Fred?" she asked me once I finished telling her everything. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well, you're dating him now. God forbid someone saw Draco kissing you...that would've been across the entire school by now!" she exclaimed. "I know...I want to be with Fred...but Draco's not making it easy," I replied, anxiously pulling blades of grass out of the ground. "Well do you want my advice?" Hermione asked. I nodded 'yes'. "I think that Draco is using you. According to Dumbledore, Voldemort will stop at nothing to get to you. It would only make sense he would tell Draco to get you close to him. I think you should avoid him from now on. And...with Fred...I think you two could be really great together, but you have to be in your relationship with him 100%. He can get really jealous sometimes so I'm not sure telling him that Draco kissed you would be the best idea. But then again, I also think you and Fred should have an honest relationship...that choice is yours," Hermione rambled. She was right. Of course she was right...she was the brightest witch of our age.

"We should be getting to class now," Hermione said once the bell from the castle had rung. "Alright...oh and Hermione?" I said as I stood up and brushed the dirt from my robes. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone," Hermione said with an encouraging smile. "But now that you've told me everything...you definitely have to keep me updated," she said with a giggle. "Always," I replied, swinging my bag on my shoulder.
