Far Away
I was glaring. I knew I was. I could feel my blood boiling as Draco swooned over Blaise Zabini as he boosted about winning some duel against a Ravenclaw sixth year. I tightened my grip on my goblet as Zabini wrapped his arm around Draco's waist. As Zabini talked among their fellow Slytherins, Draco looked around. I kept watching and when are eyes met, he went back to gazing up at Blaise. I felt my heart shatter to even tinier shards as I watched him lean his head on the other boys shoulder. If looks could kill, Blaise would be lifeless on the hard ground of the Great Hall."Glaring at them won't change anything Fred.", A soft voice said from beside me. I looked over to see who had spoken. Colin Creevey. After the war,me and the small lad had grown quiet close. He was now part of our small group, much to his pleasure.
I sighed and slumped my head. He was right. Now matter how much hatred I put into my glares or the words I screamed when the pain became to much, nothing was going to change what happened.
~Flashback~
"I don't like the way he has been staring at you Draco!", I seethed to my boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. I have been noticing lately his best mate, Blaise Zabini, has been to touchy towards Dray for my liking. I looked down at my boyfriend, who was obviously furious. He has been oblivious to Zabini's actions. "He's my best friend Fred! Merlin you're acting like I would gladly jump into his bed at any given moment! You should know better, that I would never do that to you! I-!." He cut himself off. Once again he stopped himself from saying that he loved me. We have been dating for over a year now and he still couldn't tell me he loved me.
"Well how can I be so sure? You treat him like he's your actual boyfriend! Maybe you should be dating him!", As soon as those words left my mouth. Tears pooled into those beautiful grey eyes. Before I could say anything he stood. I scrambled to my feet and tried to reach out only to have him jerk away as though I had burned him. "You know what Weasley? Maybe he should be." He said softly. He turned away and I watched the boy I loved with all my heart walk away.
~End Of Flashback~
The next week I saw them kissing out on the quidditch pitch. I had ran all the way back to my dorm and locked myself away. I screamed and cried until I couldn't feel my body anymore. I didn't eat for days and I never left my bed. I didn't talk to anyone, not even my own twin. I snapped myself out of my thoughts when I heard a sad sigh sound from beside me. I looked over and saw Colin gazing at Harry as he sat with Cho Chang of Ravenclaw. Poor lad. Unlike many others, I knew his obsession with Harry ran deeper than what he led others to believe. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he loved Harry. Truly loved him. Not like Cho did, I know she loves him because he was a kind of comfort for her broken heart.
I let my eyes wonder over back to Draco but immediately looked away when I saw them kissing. I quickly stood and fled the Great Hall, ignoring Colin's shouts of my name. I ran towards Gryffindor tower and quickly muttered the password to the Fat Lady. She cast a worried glance at me before she swung open. I ran to my dorm and threw myself onto my bed. Once again I cried as I thought of the blonde boy who has stolen my heart. I heard the static from that blasted muggle radio Ron insisted on keeping. Suddenly a song started playing and I let the lyrics sink into my brain. I closed my eyes and laid there, thinking. A sudden idea popped into my head and I sat up like a bolt of lightning. I rushed down to wait in the Common Room till Colin returned from Dinner.
~Time Skip: 15 minutes~
I sat on one of the couches, staring into the fire as I waited for Colin to return. I kept running the details through my head as I wrung my hands together. I jumped when I heard his voice from the portrait hole. He walked through and I grabbed his wrist and started pulling him towards my bed chambers. He yelped and wiggled till he saw it was me and then started asking my questions. I led him inside and muttered a quick silencing charm.
"Fred? What's going on? Are you alright?", He questioned as I walked over. I sat on my bed and motioned for him to sit next to me. He did so and looked at me curiously. I took a deep breath and looked over at him. "I think I found a way to get Draco back.", He raised his eyebrow. "And I know you're in love with Harry, Colin.", His eyes widened as I told him I knew of his feelings for the boy who was like a brother to me. I smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Colin it's alright. I think my plan will work for the both of us.", He sent me a tentative glance and nodded. " I was thinking we could pretend to be dating and see how they act. Maybe Harry will get jealous and confess his feelings for you and I could win Draco back.", He looked at me, obviously stunned.
I was starting to think he would reject my proposal when he started nodding. "Yeah.. Yeah okay let's do it." He said as he grinned over at me. I grinned back and gave him a bone crushing hug. For the rest of the night we made plans for the following day, our 'coming' out day. I had a good feeling about this plan.
