《A Troublesome Pair》Gotcha!
Advertisement
He finally gets up and leaves. Surprisingly his brother is not with him. (That is a first) I quickly get up and and follow after him. I have to walk fast considering his legs are a lot longer than mine are. I still try to be quiet as I follow, I don't exactly want him to know that I am stalking him. I just want to see where he goes, is he meeting another girl? Is he going to the bathroom? Or is he about to set up a prank to pull on one of the first years? Ugh. I begin to feel a bit nervous.
He turns around, I quickly dart behind a suit of armor hoping he doesn't see me. And stop myself from moving. I hear his foot steps again so I figure he's not facing me anymore. I get out from hiding and continue to chase him again. He goes up to flights of stairs and down another hallway.
I almost have to run to keep up with him still. My legs feel a bit tired. I hope he is almost to where he needs to be.
I watch as he rounds a corner, I change my steps to a skip as I run up and around the corner,"Ahh!" I squeak as I ram into the person around the corner and into the floor.
"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect anyone to be-" I look up to see Fred crouching over me. "Ah, so you were following me!" He laughs.
"No I wasn't! I was just-"
"If you weren't following me, why were you in such a hurry?"
I can't find words for a minute, " I, um- well..."
" I was walking fast on purpose, to prove that you were in fact following me." He says as he extends his arm for me to take. "Fine." I admit as I grab his hand, allowing him to pull me up. "I was following you. Im sorry that I bothered you. I didn't think you would notice."
" I did say I knew you were following me. I didn't say that it bothered me." I look back at him,"What? Then why did you confront me about it..?"
"Well, Im not sure really. I don't really know how to explain it. I just feel, different around you lately. I mean, last year I would pull pranks on you many times. Mostly cause you're a Ravenclaw and you're fun to prank. But recently I feel like, like I don't want to make you hate me...you get what I'm saying?"

I go bright red. "Uhm...yeah, I think I know what you're saying. But for the record, I don't think anyone could hate you guys. Not even an up tight prune could hate you."
" Uh... I could disagree with that."
"Same actually...a lot of them are quite snobby if you ask me." He laughs at my last comment.
"Isn't everyone at times?"
"I guess so."
"...so where did your one friend go? The one that likes to eat paper."
"Oh yeah, I forgot she existed for a moment there." I laugh,"she doesn't like to eat paper, she just does weird things when she's nervous."
" why would she be nervous?"
" I don't know. She just doesn't like being around people much, but then again neither
do I."
"Oh, well then I can just leave you-"
"No not you! Im fine with you!" He just laughs.
"Alright, so I guess we can go find your weird friend."
"Don't call her weird."
"Oh but you know it's true!"
"Yeah...I guess you're right."
We start walking back from where we had just come from. "So where is your friend at?"
"The Library."
"Ewww..."
"Psh, library's aren't that bad."
"It's not the library, it's the books inside..."
I scoff and punch his arm in a joking manner.
"Weasleys" I laugh as I roll my eyes.
I don't know what is happening anymore. First I leave my brother to get a girl to follow me into the hall, then I tell her information that could potentially mean I may like her a little, and now I am going to a library. That's right. I am literally going to a library. I don't even know anymore. But I guess it doesn't have to be bad right?
" Are you alright? I didn't think it was possible for you to be quiet for this long." I hear (y/n) ask. "Oh yeah, just thinking..."
"Woah, that's a first!"
"Oh haha, I see very funny."
"Hey (random students name) Fred was just thinking!"
" Oh wow. Real mature aren't you!"
"Hey I can be mature when I want to be!" She laughed as we neared the library. "Can't wait to see the day when that happens." I say with a smile. She turns to me and gives me a sarcastic smile that says,"wow you're stupid."

" Alright, I will see you you around, I hope." She says. "Oh yeah! See you!" I say as I turn around. I look back to see her still looking. She just laughs as I trip over a step. "Hah, didn't see that step there!" I laugh.
Ack, girls...
Fred! Where have you been?" George said as I walk over to him. "I told you I had to go to the restroom."
"I am pretty sure it doesn't take half an hour to pee, even if you were going the other one I don't think it would take that long..." he was right. "Alright, you caught me. I was with (y/n)." His eyes widened,"Wait, as in, (y/n) the one that fell from the tree? That (y/n)?"
"Yes, that one."
" Why? What where you doing? Why'd you take so long?"
"Woah, it wasn't anything bad, I just was checking to see if she was following me, and she was. So I figured she liked me so I took her to find her friend, that's all." He then gives me a pouting look. "You score one with (y/n) and don't even bother to ask if her friend is single?"
"You're worried about that?" I laugh,"I'm pretty sure she's single." He smiles,"-alright."
I couldn't tell if he was joking or not. That wouldn't be a first.
"I can't find the book I was looking for." I say to (y/f). "Hm, did you try over on the next isle?" She asks.
"No, I will now though."
"Okay. Tell me if you find it.
I pull out books one by one looking for the one I wanted. Until I found it, a blue one with gold writing. How to care for magical plants, I usually don't care too much about plants, but I will most likely need some extra help in Herbology this year. "Found it!"
"Okay sweet. Let's go back to the common room and play a game of wizards chess."
"Okay, lemme check this out first." I go to the front desk and hand the librarian my book so she can check it out for me.
After that we start back for the Ravenclaw dormitories. "You took a while longer than I thought coming to the library." She said with a bit of curiosity in her voice. " Yeah, it's a long story..."
"We've got time."
"Alright..." I sigh, then continue by telling her the story. By the time I am done she has a mischievous grin on her face." I told you, I ship it." She giggled.
"Yeah, we'll ship quieter. I don't need the whole school knowing." I scold.
"Alright, alright...you got me, I'll be quieter. But I gotcha there! I knew this would happen."
"Now did you really?" I ask smartly.
"Well, no. But I hoped it would."
"Okay. Just chill out a little. We don't know that it could mean anything yet."
"Okay fine, but ima keep my fingers crossed!" I let out a small chuckle, her enthusiasm makes me happy. Sometimes I wonder how it doesn't tire her out.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
It's 8:00 pm, we just finished our game of chess. And (y/f) is getting ready to go to bed. It's quite early I know. But she could sleep all day if I'd let her.
I just sit by the window drawing a picture of what I see outside. The clouds, stars, and moon. With the lake and forest in view. It was all quite lovely. The quiet in the room was comforting. All the other Ravenclaws were down in the common room talking about quidditch tryouts and the clubs that were starting this year.
I put the finishing touches on my drawing then hold it up for inspection, it looked pretty good if I say so myself. Tap tap tap I look outside to see where the tapping is coming from. I see an owl outside my window so I open the latch and let it in.
It's holding a note so I take it and open it. The owl flies out the window and into the night. I unfold the note and and read what it said:
Meet me by Myrtle's bathroom
10:00 pm tonight
-F.W.
I don't know if I should go or not, but I get the feeling of wanting to know what this is about. I know that if I go I'll be breaking the rules...there's only one thing to do.
