Here's the next chapter. I hope everyone likes it. Thanks~ by the way I don't own Harry Potter at all. Please review and tell me what I need to work on, or if you have suggestions.
Eve leaned against the cold wall, crossing her legs as she sat on the old bucket. The broom closet was quiet. Fred was pouting in the corner for some odd reason. Eve was starting to get annoyed. Yes she couldn't stand it when Fred was making too much noise, but she didn't want it to be totally quiet. It reminded her of home.
Eve cleared her throat. "So um…how are you?"
Fred snorted raising his eye brows at her. "Did you seriously just ask that question?"
"Sorry," Eve huffed. "I'm not good with small talk."
"You don't say," Fred gasped. "But you get along so well with people."
"Yes, with people I actually like," Eve muttered annoyed.
"Then why are you talking to me?" Fred asked curious, not his usually snappiness toward her. That's odd, Eve thought to herself confused, usually Fred is always annoyed at me and hissing some rude comment.
"Obviously you are the only one to talk to," Eve gestured around at the dimly lit claustrophobic closet. "I'll put aside you being a git for now. I need to talk to some one before I go insane."
"Love that boat sailed a long time ago," Fred grinned cheekily toward the cute girl who was currently stuck in the broom closet with him. Any other girl and Fred would have tried to make the most out of the secluded hour, but with Eve he didn't even want to get near her in case she decided to hex him.
Eve frowned. "Gee thanks for being so kind to me Fred. You have no idea how much I appreciate you for your friendship."
"Don't worry Eve dear," Fred smiled brilliantly. "You will always have me. Just call and I'll be there."
"If I ever have to call you then I must be desperate," Eve snorted.
"Connor you are," Fred pointed out smirking.
"Excuse me! No I am not!" Eve huffed.
"Really? Are you sure about that?" Fred grinned, loving it when he was able to tease her. It made his days much more fun and interesting. "Because anyone who goes after Slytherin swine must be desperate."
"I have never gone after a Slytherin! In fact I haven't been interested in any of the Hogwarts' guys!" Eve hissed annoyed. I would never date a snake! Eve ground her teeth together trying to control her anger. Never in a million years!
"Isnt that a little odd?" Fred raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" Eve demanded angrily, confusion etching her slightly round face.
Fred getting annoyed at not being able to see her expressions, yanked out his wand. "Lumos."
The small room was instantly engulfed with soft white light. Fred blinked in surprise when he saw that Eve was across from him, her pale knee inches away from his. Fred frowned noticing that they were so close yet not touching. He wanted to reach out to her and pull her off of the uncomfortable bucket and on to his lap. Wait-What? Fred's blue eyes went wide at the thought. Why did I just think that? Especially with Connor? Fred calm down, damn hormones, it must be being close to a girl without doing anything fun. Even if the girl happened to be Connor.
"What is odd?" Eve demanded, the anger lining her soft smooth face.
"Oh…um…" Fred squinted in the dim light, trying for the life of him to remember what they had been talking about before he had been sucked into his own thoughts. "Oh yeah. Don't you think its odd that you haven't liked anyone at school?"
"No I don't think its odd," She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking up at the ceiling exasperated with him.
"I mean come on, you must have had a crush once!" Fred teased, his voice was light but inside something was growling with anger at the possibility that she might have had crushes.
"Well yeah everyone does, but they were nothing serious," Eve raised an eyebrow at Fred's stony expression. "Is something wrong?"
Fred blinked startled. "No, I was just thinking about the poor boy who your heart was craving."
Eve narrowed her eyes at him, making him flinch under her intense gaze. "Its lucky then that you will never know who that person was."
"Ah, why not?" Fred pouted, sticking out his bottom lip in what he assumed was a puppy dog look along with the sad wide eyes.
"Don't think that look will work on me Fred Weasley," Eve snapped.
Fred leaned back surprised. "Wow you sounded like my mum there."
"I'll take that as a compliment," Eve smiled sweetly at him making Fred's heart beat faster.
He frowned noticing the increasing pulse rate before clearing his throat to calm down his racing heart. "Have you met my mother?"
"Once or twice," She shrugged not elaborating. Idiot, Eve thought to herself as she rolled her eyes. Of course I've met his mother, my mum happens to be in the Order.
"Hm, I had no idea," Fred blankly said.
"Of course not," Eve snorted not amused.
"What does that mean?" Fred demanded, his blue eyes glaring deeply at her but she was unaffected.
"Well dear if you haven't noticed, you can be a bit oblivious," Eve smiled sweetly but obviously underneath that sickly sweet smile was pure teasing.
"Me?" Fred laughed loudly. "Are you sure you aren't talking about yourself there love?"
"No, I'm talking about you," She huffed. Fred gave her a level stare and she cracked, slightly. "Fine I admit that I can be a tad bit oblivious-"
"A tad?" Fred snorted with laughter, not even noticing when Eve glared heatedly at him.
"-yes a tad! As I was saying, I can be a tad bit oblivious but not as much as you," Eve hurriedly spoke before Fred decided to cut in again. She crossed her arms in front of her, turning her attention back to staring at the door.
"I'm not oblivious!" Fred argued like a 10 year old would.
"You're acting like a 1st year Fred," Eve informed him collectively. "Just accept it and get over it. That way I wont have to listen to you complain about your obliviousness."
"I am not acting like an 11 year old!" Fred hissed at her but Eve wasn't paying attention.
"Sure you aren't," Eve vaguely waved at him, deciding at this time that it would be a good idea to run through her potion homework in her head so that she could copy it down when she got back to the common room.
"I'm not!" Fred objected. "I'm not oblivious to anything! In fact I think I pay more attention to my surroundings than most people. I have to look around every corner to make sure that there is no one there, especially when we are pranking. Or sneaking around. So I cant be that oblivious if we haven't been caught yet."
"I never said you were oblivious about your surroundings," Eve informed him rolling her eyes.
Fred paused. "Then what exactly am I oblivious to?"
"Many many things my dear," Eve smirked.
"Like what?" Fred raised an eyebrow, but Eve remain quiet turning her attention back to her potions essay knowing Snape would find some kind of fault with her essay even though it was nearly perfect. Well its better than dealing with that b-witch Umbridge, Eve concluded.
"Like what Eve?" Fred repeated, this time using her first name which he usually never does. Eve didn't comment on it though.
"Like what Eve?" Came the question yet again. "Seriously! Like what!"
Eve paid him no mind. Humming slightly as she concentrated on her essay. Truthfully Eve just loved seeing Fred get so annoyed at her. It was amusing. Especially now since she was locked in this broom closet with him and she needed something to do. Otherwise she just might really start to go insane.
"AH! Eve come on tell me!" Fred begged.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pretty please?"
"Nope."
"Come ON! Tell me!" "In your dreams!" "Please, please, please, please, please, please-"
"For Merlin's sake no!"
"Don't tease me! You purposely said that to drive me insane with curiosity!"
"You're the one who fell for it," Eve smiled mischievously at him.
"TELL ME!"
"NO!"
"YES!" "NO!" "YES!" "Oh for Merlin's sake alright!" Eve growled. "Just stop screaming in my ear!
"Okay I will," Fred instantly lowered his voice. "Now please tell me."
"Alright, alright," Eve sighed. "You are so oblivious that you cant see the people in front of you."
"What do you mean?" Fred demanded narrowing his eyes in confusion at her.
"Tell me, did you even notice me during our 3rd year?" Eve raised her eyebrow at him.
"Um…not really, but what does that have to do with-" Fred started his eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"Exactly," Eve shook her head in annoyance. "You are oblivious, really it got annoying really fast. Especially during 3rd year."
"What happened during our 3rd year?" Fred questioned slowly, unsure if he wanted to know the answer or not.
"You're an idiot Fred," Eve rolled her eyes. "If you hadn't been so oblivious maybe you would have noticed who I had a crush on."
Fred gulped. "Who?"
"You."
