Thursday – Touch
"So, Katie, remind me why you're stuck in a tree again?" Fred asked, clearly all too amused by the situation that was in front of him. There she was the short tempered blond, who'd crossed him for the last time, stuck in a bloody tree. "At least it's not the whomping willow," Fred finished up with a laugh. Katie didn't seem to take any of it too lightly.
"Fred, get me down!" Katie yelled angrily, her temper bubbling over the boiling point by now. "All I did was hit you with a pillow!" She whined, attempting to get the boy to let her down as quickly as she could. After all, didn't think that hitting him with a pillow had been such a big deal. In fact, if it had been he who hit her with the pillow and he who had been the culprit, she probably would have laughed! But no, Fred had to go and be irrational, as per usual, and get her stuck in a tree, a rather high tree. Okay, so maybe it wasn't that high, but Katie didn't like her feet not touching the ground unless she was safely on a broom.
"Yes, Bell, I know. But, it was Johnson's pillow, who knows where it's been! George could have had it Merlin knows where by now!" Fred called up as he glanced towards the blond who was flailing slightly in the tree. It looked as if she was going to attempt to get down, but Fred knew that she wouldn't dare. Would she?
"Fred, that's absolutely revolting. We don't need to talk about our mates' personal life! Or any other part of their lives for that matter, I hear enough about it!" Katie yelled down angrily throwing her hands in the air, and that was it. The branch was no longer underneath her, one minute she had been flailing, and the next, she was falling. Fred reacted the only way he could, watching the beautiful blond fall from the tree caused his heart to race, but his reaction time quickened, and the next thing he knew the blond had landed safely in his arms.
"I'm sorry," he spoke immediately, and for a moment their eyes locked. He held her there for a moment, making sure that her feet were planted safely on the ground before he finally released her. The pair of them silently began to walk back towards the castle entrance.
"It's okay…" Katie responded quietly as she took his hand in his, and kept it there for the rest of their walk. Her soft palm in his made the hair on the back of his neck stand up in a happy, giddy sort of way. He squeezed her hand once gently, and she offered him a small smile before entwining her fingers with his. Katie bit her bottom lip with a smile before blushing slightly. This, the red head male thought to himself, is perfect.
