Jessica's POV ✨

The next morning after the party, I woke up with a banging headache. I don't handle the after sting of being drunk too well. I staggered out of bed and got changed into my uniform, then put my hair up into a bun.

I walked down to the common room to see the place was spotless like last night never happened. You've got to love magic. "Hey Ronald, fancy walking with me to breakfast?" I asked a tired looking Ron as I made my way to the portrait.

"Yeah sure." He yawned as he got up from one of the red seats. Ron and Ginny share the same love for sleeping late in the mornings.

Once we arrived in the great hall, I sat in between the twins and ruffled their hair before taking a piece of toast. "Hey Freddie, where were you last night? I didn't see you at all at the party." I looked over to the twin on my left.

"I was at the party." He said before whispering in my ear, "I just kept my distance so I didn't do anything stupid to give out relationship away. You looked beautiful by the way. And you and Ron really pulled off that duet." Fred discretely kissed my temple before leaning away and continuing to eat his breakfast.

"Looks like Ronniekin's just been given a parcel from mum." George nodded over to Ron who was unwrapping a thin cardboard box. The three of us watched intently as Ron pulled out what looked like dress robes, but covered in lace. "Ginny these must be for you." Ron held up the robes facing Ginny.

"I'm not wearing that it's ghastly!" Hermione and I giggled at Ginnys remark on the robes. Ron gave us a confused look and asked what was so funny. Hermione explained to him that they were dress robes for him, not for Ginny.

"Dress robes? For what?" Ron looked at the interestint clothing he was holding up against him with a puzzled look. "Not sure. But I bet we will find out soon." Harry said, managing to calm down from his laughing fit. Ron nodded and frowned at his dress robes before stuffing them back into the box.

"Poor Ron. He is going to be humiliated for whatever the dress robes are for." I sighed and stood up along with Fred. I waved goodbye to George and Lee and we both made our way back to the common room. Once we arrived, we both went up to my dorm so I could do my makeup.

"Love, you don't need makeup." Fred stood behind me grabbing a hold of my waist and looking into the mirror with me. I looked at my reflection trying to apply my mascara when Fred buried his face into the crook of my neck. The poor boy must be bored.

"Okay I'm done. How do I look?" I asked as I put my makeup back into its little bag and spun round to look at Fred. "Gorgeous." He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. "Looks like your owls back with a letter." Fred gestured towards the window to see Sadie pecking on the window with a letter tied to her leg. I opened the window and untied the letter before giving her a treat.

"It's from Oliver!" I ripped open the letter, dying to hear from my brother again.

Dear Jess,

I am glad to hear you've settled in well back at Hogwarts without me. We are doing well back at home, mum and dad have been extremely busy and I have been attempting to go onto the Scottish Quidditch Team. That would be a dream come true for me.

I'm so glad you have broken up with Patrick, he was absolutely horrible. What exactly did you see in him?

Also mum and dad have told me to tell you that you're going to be staying at school over the holidays. I know you're probably upset about this but you will have the Weasleys with you since they are also staying over the holidays.

I hope you are doing fine Jess and I miss you loads.

Love you lots ballon head,

-Olly

I read over the letter, smiling like an idiot. "What did it say?" Fred asked looking between me and the letter. "I'm staying here for Christmas." I said, folding up the letter and placing it on my desk so I would remember to write back later. Fred stood up from my bed and gave me a massive smile. "So am I! This is going to be so fun, it'll be just like the burrow except without parents, and to make it even better, no Percy bossing us around!" Fred excitedly lifted me up and spun me around.

"Even though I will miss my family, it will still be fun! Now, I'm going to the library to study, you coming?" I said and to my surprise he said he would come. I think I've broken Fred Weasley.
