A/N: (6/25/10) I went back and split this chapter up into two chapters. I also went back and edited the first three chapters (corrected spelling, grammar, etc.) I went back and fixed certain parts that I thought weren't exactly backed by more recent chapters. See, the first three chapters were when I didn't have a set plot line or anything, which is why some things seem odd. Nothing really changed, but feel free to go back and reread the edited chapters.
A/N: (7/5/10) For some messed up reason, this chapter got underlined while it was being uploaded. I don't know why or how it happened, since nothing was underlined, but I tried to fix it. Now, some lines are underlined and fanfic refuses to comply to my wishes and fix the entire doc. I'm sorry.
It Wasn't Planned!
Chapter Four:
Last Day of Summer and the Return to School
Fred and Nikki sat under their tree on August 31st, drinking hot chocolate. They were dreading the train ride to Hogwarts tomorrow. They both didn't want their summer to end. Nikki had a feeling their relationship would change when they got to school, since she was in Ravenclaw and Fred was in Gryffindor. Though Fred had insisted it wouldn't, she just wasn't sure. Inter-house relationships were common, but none ever lasted long. She just didn't want to lose him to Angelina Johnson. Everyone knew she had a thing for Fred. Even though, Fred clearly didn't care for her in a more than friends way. Nikki knew Fred would never do anything with Angelina, but she didn't like how the girl always threw herself at him, especially during the Yule Ball. Nikki smirked and thought back to that rather entertaining night.
Nikki was waiting in the Ravenclaw Commons for her date, Terry Boot. They were going as friends, but the expression on the Weasley twins' faces was worth it. The twins were teasing her about not having a date during their classes all week, but during study hall, Terry had approached her and asked her. Both twins were shocked, but Fred had looked upset. He glared at her and then asked Angelina. Nikki couldn't help glaring at her, though she wasn't sure why.
She was wearing a light blue dress that made her eyes look bluer than normal. Her dark hair hung loosely down her shoulders, curling slightly at the ends. Her make up was carefully applied and looked natural. She was wearing a pair of sliver heels, which added to her height, making her roughly half an inch shorter than Terry. "Hey, Nikki. You look beautiful." Terry said, as he walked up to her.
She blushed lightly and said "Thank you, Terry. You look very handsome in your dress robes."
Terry smiled and offered her his arm. Together, they left the commons and headed for the Great Hall. They joined the crowd waiting in the Entrance Hall. She caught sight of the Weasley twins standing on the opposite side of the hall. She smirked and dragged Terry over towards them. The twins were wearing matching bright magenta robes. It clashed with their red hair. She smiled brightly and struck up a conversation with George. She didn't have a vendetta against him. She knew he was just involved in their prank war because his twin required his assistance. She knew George had no issue with her. "Nicster? Wow. You clean up nice." George said, looking her up and down.
"Thanks, Georgie. You look very dashing." Nikki replied, smiling up at him.
He laughed and said "Fred looks so shocked. Look at him!"
Nikki looked behind her and giggled. Fred was staring at her, his jaw slack. Angelina was glaring at her. Nikki just smiled sweetly at her and turned back to George. "So, where's your date, Georgie?" She asked, looking around.
George blushed and said "Katie Bell. She went off to find Alicia and Lee."
"Aw. Is Georgie blushing? I'm glad you finally asked her out." She said, laughing.
Terry looked confused and said "I thought you and the twins were enemies?"
"I don't have any issues with George. He and I are friends. Fred is the one I have a problem with." Nikki explained, shooting a dark look in Fred's direction.
Then McGonagall appeared before the doors of the Great Hall and announced "Welcome to the Yule Ball. Champions, please follow me. Everyone else, feel free to enter the Hall."
Terry took Nikki's arm and after bidding George and Katie farewell, entered the Great Hall. Everyone was looking around. There were small tables scattered around the Hall. Ice sculptures lined the outer wall. A large Christmas tree was placed by the main table. The enchanted ceiling was showing the night sky. Fake snow was falling softly, but disappeared just inches above their heads. The room looked like a Winter Wonderland. Soon the Champions entered the Hall and opened the ball. Every Hogwarts student was staring at Hermione Granger. No one had recognized her until McGonagall had announced her name along with Victor Krum's when they entered.
Terry led her onto the dance floor and the two danced along with half the school. Throughout the song, she couldn't help noticing the way the Fred Weasley and Roger Davies were staring at her. Both boys were creeping her out. 'Maybe I shouldn't have gotten this dress.' She thought, as Terry spun her around. She didn't like either boy and would rather not have them leering at her. After all, Roger was there with one of the French girls and Fred was there with his long time crush, Angelina Johnson. She didn't quite understand why he was staring at her, but she knew no good would come of it. Lauren, however, had noticed too, and was in the process of getting George to help her with a prank.
When the song finished, George quickly stole her away from Terry and began to dance with her. She eyed him warily. "What do you want, George?" She asked, cautiously.
"I wanted to dance with you. Plus, Katie went off with Angelina somewhere. Probably to compare me and Fred." George said, grinning.
She relaxed slightly, hoping Fred wouldn't try anything. This would be the worst time ever. Not only would McGonagall rip them a new one, but Snape and Dumbledore will join in on the fun. There would be months of detentions and Snape would try to expel them, though Dumbledore wouldn't let him. "Lauren wants to talk to you out in the Hall after this song. She said it was important." George said, not meeting her gaze.
"George, if you are plotting against me, so help me Merlin, I will hex you until you are impotent." She said, darkly.
George gulped and said "I'm not plotting against you. Fred might be, but I'm not."
Nikki just huffed and allowed him to continue their dance. Once the song finished, she went off to find her sister. George smirked and went to rescue Katie from Lee's "dancing".
Nikki stood outside the Hall, waiting for her sister. "Nikki, I'm over here!" She heard her sister call.
"What do you want, Lauren?" Nikki asked, eyeing her younger sister carefully.
"Are you having fun?" Lauren asked, smiling sweetly.
"I was until I had to come find you." Nikki replied, choosing to ignore her sister's attempt at being sweet.
Lauren pouted and said "Why are you here with Terry Boot? Shouldn't you be with one of the twins?"
Nikki stared at her sister in shock. "Lauren, have you been drinking?" She demanded, leaning closer and sniffing in disgust.
"That was one time! George gave it to Ginny too! You were drinking too!" Lauren whined, pouting.
"I don't care. You're too young to be drinking Fire Whiskey." Nikki said, glaring at her sister.
"So, why aren't you here with Fred?" Lauren asked, smirking.
"Because I'm here with Terry!" Nikki snapped.
"Fred was going to ask you. Didn't you know?" Lauren said, watching her sister's expression change from anger to shock and finally, to disbelief.
Lauren took her sister's moment of speechlessness to continue her speech. "Yeah, he was talking about it in the Common Room last week. He said he wanted to go with you. He seemed really upset when you agreed to go with Terry." She said, and Nikki finally regained her ability to talk.
"He only wanted to prank me! You know that, Lauren. That boy lives to torture me!" She exclaimed.
"So? He wanted to go to the ball with you. You know what that means, right?" Lauren asked, smiling brightly.
Nikki's brain slowly caught up and she realized what her sister meant. "Lauren, there's no way he likes me. We hate each other. Everyone knows that." Nikki said, softly.
"He wanted to go to the ball with you. Nikki, your fighting isn't just fighting. He's trying to flirt with you." Lauren said, as her sister shook her head no.
"Its just fighting. Don't try and read what you want from it, Lauren." Nikki said, sending her sister a glare that would make Professor Snape proud, if she were a Slytherin.
Lauren pouted as the twins exited the Great Hall, sans their dates. Both quickly snuck up on Nikki, who had her back to them. "Nikki, could you at least admit he's flirting with you? Everyone can bloody see it, but you two." Lauren said, unaware of the boys standing behind her sister.
Lauren was staring wide eyed at the twins. She had just noticed them and was hoping one of them would say something before Nikki said a word. "Lauren, I hate him. He hates me. Fred Weasley is an annoying prat with no regards to anyone but himself. I would rather die than even think about him in the way you are insinuating." Nikki said, clearly unaware of Fred's presence behind her.
Then she noticed her sister's attention was not on her, but on whoever was behind her. Nikki turned around and her expression fell when she realized the twins had heard every word she just said. "Nikki, why don't you go find Terry? I think I saw him looking for you." George said, hoping to get her away before his twin exploded.
Fred's expression clearly showed how hurt and angry he was. George knew Nikki would end up in tears before the night was over and he wanted her to escape while she had the chance. Nikki nodded numbly and quickly ran off. Lauren, who should've taken that as her cue to escape, looked up at Fred and said "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed her."
Then she hugged him, hoping to make him feel better. George clenched his jaw, trying to quell his jealousy. He couldn't understand why he cared so much about the fourteen year old girl, even after practically falling for Katie Bell, the girl he had fancied since his third year. Fred pushed Lauren away and headed out to the garden. George followed quickly, while Lauren went back into the Great Hall, in search of her date.
Nikki had found Terry by the punch bowel and was currently trying to explain what had occurred out in the Entrance Hall. "Lauren's driving me insane. Insisting that dolt is actually flirting! The nerve!" Nikki ranted to Terry, as they danced around the dance floor.
"Nikki, would you like to go out to the garden with me?" Terry asked, hoping to take her mind off of the Weasley twins.
She nodded and he lead her outside. As they walked through the garden, they discussed Quidditch, their classes and the Triwizard Tournament. "Nikki, what's actually going on between you and the twins?" Terry asked, curiously.
"Nothing, Terry. We hate each other. Well, I have nothing against George. Fred's just a prat who lives to torment me. Why do you ask?" Nikki asked, eyeing him carefully.
"They're following us. One of them looks like he might murder someone." Terry said, glancing behind them.
Nikki groaned and glanced behind her. Fred did indeed look like he could kill someone. George was simply following his twin, idly strolling through the garden. She sighed softly and took Terry's hand. "Nikki?" Terry asked, slightly surprised.
"Sorry, I just don't want those two to get the chance to steal me away." Nikki replied, looking behind her again.
"I won't let them get you." Terry said, smiling at her.
"Thanks, Terry." She said, returning his smile.
Together, they walked hand in hand through the garden, enjoying each others company. The twins soon gave up their mission and headed back into the castle. Terry, taking his cue from them, lead Nikki back inside. Stopping in the Entrance Hall, he pulled her close and kissed her. Nikki was surprised, but kissed him back. Fred had spotted them and had witnessed Terry's actions. He gripped his wand and quickly sent a jinx her way. Her skin turned a bright pink, while her hair merely tinted pink. Then suddenly, she was covered in pure while fur. Terry yelped in surprise when he noticed what had happened. She let out a shriek, looking at her arms. She looked around and noticed Fred standing outside the Great Hall. She sent him a dark look, knowing it was him that done it. The look on his face was so full of malice that it put any Slytherin's to shame. Tears pooled in her blue grey eyes, as she sprinted up the Grand Staircase. She needed to get out of there before anyone else saw her. Terry followed her, hoping to help her. Lauren walked down the stairs, dragging Seamus Finnegan behind her. She approached the twins, eyeing them suspiciously. "What have you two done now?" She asked, glaring at them.
"I haven't done a thing, Lauren." George answered, motioning to his twin.
Fred muttered something angrily, which sounded vaguely like sell out. Lauren rounded on Fred and demanded to know what he did. He refused to tell her. "He turned Nikki pink and gave her white fur." George answered for his twin, who glared at him.
"That pink fur ball that ran passed us was Nikki?" Lauren asked, staring at the twins in shock. They had never sold each other out like George had just done, not even to Dumbledore.
George nodded. "Fred, you promised you wouldn't do anything to her tonight!" Lauren whined, while Seamus looked uncomfortable.
"I changed my mind. Excuse me, I have to go find Angelina." Fred said, then he walked back into the Great Hall.
George watched his twin walk away and knew nothing go could come of this. Nikki was going to murder them both, even if she didn't have anything against him. "I'll go talk to him." George said, as Lauren released Seamus from her hold.
The Irish boy took his chance and escaped into the Hall. Lauren grabbed George's hand and said "You haven't danced with me yet, Georgie."
She dragged him on to the dance floor. George didn't even try to fight her. He went willing along with Lauren's dancing. She was obviously trying to distract him. Nikki had barricaded herself in an unused classroom. She didn't know where exactly she was in relation to Ravenclaw Tower, but thought she was close to Gryffindor Tower. She had dried her tears and was trying to figure out what spells she'd been hit with. By the time Terry found her, she had gotten rid of the fur and was trying to turn her skin back to its natural color. "Let me help you, Nikki." Terry said, standing in the door way.
Nikki sniffled and nodded. Terry closed the door behind him and said "It's a simple jinx. I can fix it."
He quickly preformed the counter spell and Nikki's skin and hair returned to their normal colorings. "Thank you, Terry." She said, smiling weakly.
"You're welcome, Nikki." He said, hugging her.
He kissed her again and Nikki responded quickly. Their snog was soon interrupted by someone entering the room. Terry and Nikki quickly jumped apart. Standing in the door way was Fred Weasley and Angelina Johnson. Nikki didn't have a problem with Angelina, not yet anyway. "Sorry. Did we interrupt?" Angelina asked, smirking at Nikki, while Fred glared at Terry.
"No, we were just leaving." Terry said, taking Nikki's hand.
Fred snorted and said "Didn't look like it."
Nikki glared at Fred. "It's none of your business, Weasley." She said, sneering at him, her wand pointing at him.
Fred pulled out his wand and stood in front of Angelina. Nikki scoffed and said "I don't have any problem with Angelina. My problem is with you."
Fred fired at jinx her way. She dodged and sent one back at him. Terry was hit with a spell and grew a green tail. Angelina had managed to escape the fray and was hiding outside the class room door. "You're such an ass, Weasley!" Nikki shrieked.
Fred threw a spell at her, which she dodged. "You're a stupid know it all prat!" Fred yelled, as he was hit by a hex.
He turned green, while she started laughing mockingly at him. "Don't mock my House! You're the only prat in this room!" She screamed, as she was hit by a spell that caused her to grow horns.
"I'm not the prat! You can go kiss a Dementor for all I care!" Fred yelled, while snickering at her.
Nikki sneered her Slytherin sneer and fired a spell at him. Fred dodged it, but it hit a desk, causing it to begin to dance around the room. Fred glared at her and said "At least I don't throw myself at guys like you do."
Nikki laughed loudly and said "I hope you don't throw yourself at guys, Weasley. I didn't know you went that way."
Fred's ears were turning red, but it wasn't noticeable due to his skin's greenish hue. "You know what I meant, you bloody woman!" He shrieked, sending a hex her way.
Terry and Angelina were both currently watching the battle from the corridor (Angelina had removed Terry's tail). They exchanged knowing looks. "I think they might kill each other before its over." Terry muttered.
Angelina nodded in agreement. "Maybe one of us should find Lauren and George before McGonagall finds these two." Terry said, eyeing the battle carefully.
"I'll go get them." Angelina said, and she hurried off towards the Great Hall.
Fred and Nikki were still throwing jinxes at each other. She now looked like a scaly purple monster and Fred was a green hairy thing that couldn't stop tap dancing. By the time Angelina arrived with George and Lauren, the professors had found the battling duo. Fred and Nikki were frozen in place, poised to attack each other. McGonagall and Flitwick were standing before them, looks of outrage upon their faces. "What in Merlin's name had gotten into you?" McGonagall demanded, her eyes narrowed at the two.
"You both will have detention for two months. I can not believe you would act this way after the warnings we gave you. You are banned from Hogsmeade for the rest of the school term." McGonagall announced.
"Mr. Boot, Ms. Johnson, please return to the Ball. Mr. Weasley, Ms. Scotts, you will accompany these two to the Hospital Wing. Make sure they are not placed next to each other." Flitwick said and George and Lauren magiked their siblings out the room.
"Fillius, what on earth are we going to do with them? I've never seen anyone fight that bad. Not even Lily and James were as bad as those two are."' McGonagall said, sighing loudly.
"I don't know, Minerva. Those two will be the death of us. We just have to get through another year and a half before they graduate." Flitwick said, shaking his head.
"We should return to the Ball before Albus comes searching for us." McGonagall said and they left the room.
Madam Promfrey quickly fixed Fred and Nikki. She refused to let them near each other. The next day, she released Fred to George's care. Nikki had to remain under Promfrey's care until Fred had made it back to Gryffindor Tower. Once Nikki was released into her sister's care, she went directly to her dorm and didn't emerge until she was forced to go to class.
"Nikki, what are you thinking about?" Fred asked, eyeing her carefully.
"I was just thinking about the Ball." She replied, grinning.
Fred snickered and wrapped his arms around her. "That was a fun night." He said, burying his head in her hair.
"Of course, you would've found it to be fun. McGonagall practically ripped us both a new one the next day!" Nikki exclaimed, leaning against his chest.
"But it was worth it." He mumbled, pulling her closer to him.
She waited for him to explain. "It got you away from Boot." He said, grinning.
"You're so weird, Fred." She said, snickering.
"But you like my weirdness." He retorted, smirking.
She rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement. "Nikki, are you okay? You're being really quiet." He asked, the worry clear in his light brown eyes.
She shrugged and said "I'm fine."
Fred frowned and said "Nikki, you can't fool me. Tell me what's wrong."
"Fred, I don't want our relationship to change. I'm afraid it will once we go to school." Nikki said, softly.
He tightened his hold on her and said "It won't change. We'll see each other all the time. Stop worrying so much."
She smiled and said "I can't help it. You know how inter-house relationships usually go."
"We won't be like that. I won't let it happen. I promise." He said, pulling her closer to his body.
"That's a rather big promise to make, Freddie. You don't know what's going to happen over the next year. We have so much school work to look forward to. It's N.E. year and we both need to buckle down. I can't mess up this year. I need to get into the Magical Creatures program." She said, sighing.
Fred huffed and said "I don't need to buckle down. I only have three classes to worry about."
Nikki glared up at him. "I still can't believe you and George only got three O.! It just doesn't make any sense. Even Muggles can see how brilliant you two are." She said, shaking her head.
Fred smirked and said "George and I did it on purpose. We don't have the same classes, well, except for Defense. We both agreed that was an important one."
She nodded absentmindedly. "Freddie, do you think George will be okay? I know he really liked Katie." She asked, as Fred took her hand, slipping his fingers between hers.
She looked down at their entwined fingers, waiting for Fred's answer. "I think he will be. School and Quidditch will be awkward, but, hopefully, it'll return to normal. After all, George wasn't really into Katie as much as you and everyone else think." He said, smirking.
She eyed him, the confusion clear in her blue grey eyes. "What do you mean? He's been making eyes at her since our third year." She said, pulling her hand away from his.
Fred frowned and took her hand back. "Yes, he's been into her since our third year, but during our fifth, he suddenly wasn't all that into her." He said, trying to think of ways to keep her in his grasp.
"So, he asked Katie out when he actually liked someone else?" She asked, as she tried to think of who else he could like.
"Sort of. He needed a date to the Ball and the girl he likes was already taken." Fred answered, quietly.
Nikki's eyes widened in shock. "George likes Hermione?" She asked, suddenly pulling away and staring at her boyfriend.
Fred pouted and pulled her back to him. "There are loads of other girls he could like who had dates to the Ball." He said, snickering at the thought of his twin with Hermione Granger.
"Fred, seriously, he likes Hermione? You do realize if they ever got together, their children would end up taking over the world?" She said, looking slightly frightened at the idea.
"His brains and his prankster streak a mild wide, combined with her brains and her hidden evil side, their kids would destroy the world." Fred mumbled, as he realized the other issues with that couple.
"You think?" She said, sarcastically.
Fred nodded and hugged her tight. He grinned, as she snuggled closer to him. He kissed the top of her head and she twisted around in his arms, catching his lips with hers. He smirked and deepened the kiss. He tried to slip his hand up her shirt, but she took his hand in hers and broke the kiss. "It's getting late. Your mum will send someone to look for us. I really don't want to be the cause of Ron's or Lauren's mental scarring." She explained, trying to ignore Fred's pout.
"Ron and Lauren are already scarred mentally. Between walking in on us snogging, our pranking them, and our perverted jokes, they have enough to send them to therapy for the next ten years." Fred said, trying to kiss her again.
Nikki dodged him and stood up. She started to brush her bum off, but Fred decided to help her. "Fred, stop that." She giggled, trying to smack his hands away.
She ran towards the house, hoping to escape him, but his long legs allowed him to catch up to her sooner than she had anticipated. He tackled her to the ground, shifting so he would be the one to take the blow. Once he felt the ground underneath him, he rolled over, so he was on top of her. "Fred, get off of me." She whined, pouting.
"No can do, love. You see, I sort of like seeing you in this position." Fred said, wagging his eyebrows at her.
She giggled and said "You know, your mum can see us through the kitchen window."
Fred smirked. "We enchanted it a few years ago so she would only see what we wanted her to see." He said, as he slipped a hand up her shirt.
"Fred, stop. Someone will see." Nikki said, trying to escape his grasp.
"FREDRICK GIDEON WEASLEY! What do you think you're doing to Nikki?" He heard his mother shriek.
He promptly jumped off of Nikki and scurried away. Nikki snickered, knowing it wasn't Mrs. Weasley who had yelled at them. She sat up and said "Thanks, Gin. That was a brilliant impersonation."
Ginny helped Nikki up and said "Thanks, Nikki. Let's go find our stuff. We leave for school tomorrow."
Nikki nodded and followed after the fourth year girl. Fred, on the other hand, was currently hiding in his room, hoping his mother wouldn't come after him. George was with him and they were working on ways to hide their products in their trunks. They knew their mum would search their trunks in the morning. "This is our last year, you know. You should tell her how you feel, Georgie." He told his twin, who had become slightly upset over a picture he had found in his trunk.
The picture had been taken after Gryffindor had won the Quidditch Cup during their fifth year. George had his arms slung around Katie and Lauren. Ron and Hermione were hugging Harry, who was grinning at Lauren and Ginny. Nikki had somehow gotten into the picture too. She was hugging Ginny and shooting her infamous death glare at Fred. He snickered, remembering what he had done to her before the game. No one could prove it was him, but everyone knew he had done it. Then Oliver had suddenly swooped down on Nikki and attacked her with a bear hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Fred eyed the picture darkly. He had forgotten Oliver had done that. He knew there was nothing to it, but it still bugged him a bit. It reminded him of Roger Davies and Terry Boot. He was glad one of them had graduated, though Terry was a great guy, brilliant Quidditch player too. He didn't want to share his girlfriend with either of them, though he was willing to share with his twin. Nikki didn't mind George's clinginess over the past few weeks. "I can't tell her. She clearly likes Ron. You'd have to be dumber than a troll if you can't see it." George said, staring listlessly down at the picture in his hand,
Fred sighed. He hated seeing his twin so upset, but he tried to help him as best he could. George just couldn't get it through his thick skull no matter how many times Fred tried to convince him. "I got an idea. We can ask Nikki, Lauren and Ginny if we can stash our stuff in their trunks." Fred said, grinning wickedly.
Not only would they be able to get their stuff by their mum, but Fred could pilfer a pair or three of Nikki's panties. George rolled his eyes, as if he could sense his twin's much more perverted reason. "We wouldn't be able to get our stuff back if we stash it in Nikki's trunk. She's in Ravenclaw, remember? What about Harry and Hermione?" George asked.
Fred pondered his brother's suggestion. "Granger wouldn't help. She doesn't approve of our products. Harry approves of our plans. Let's go ask him and use the girls just in case." Fred said and he and his twin were off to find their main investor.
Nikki was placing her freshly washed robes in her trunk when she realized she hadn't seen her sister or the trio since dinner. Normally, this wouldn't worry her, but Lauren had the tendency to leave things to the last minute. She went off in search of her sister. She searched the Burrow high and low, earning herself some odd looks from Bill Weasley. She just calmly explained her sister's time management issues, to which the elder Weasley brother pointed out the large hickey on the left side of her neck. Nikki's eyes widened in shock and after covering it up, she continued her search for Lauren, but had resolved to murder Fred if she found him first.
She found her sister in Ginny's room, bawling her eyes out. Nikki shot Ginny a questioning look and went to comfort her sister. "Rennie, what's wrong?" She asked wrapping her sister up in a tight hug.
"He doesn't like me. He likes someone else! It's so obvious." Lauren said, through her tears.
Nikki, assuming she meant Ron or Harry, said "Sweetie, it'll get better. He'll realize how he feels about you soon. You have all of this year and the next two years to convince him. Look at how long it took Fred to realize how he felt about me.", causing Lauren to sob harder.
"Rennie, Weasley men are so oblivious to the ways of women, they make trolls look smart (no offense meant to your brothers, Ginny). Harry has a lot on his plate right now. They'll come around soon. You'll see." Nikki said, rubbing her sister's back.
Fred and George, who had been listening in, were mildly miffed at Nikki comparing them to trolls, though she did have a point. He eyed his twin, who looked like he was fighting to urge to go comfort the younger girl, who was like Ginny to them. He tried to pull his twin away, but George had managed to slip into the room. Almost as if she sensed his presence, Lauren threw herself into George's arms, burying her head into his shirt. "Don't cry, Lauren. Everything will be alright." George said, softly, holding her tight.
The other three quickly became uncomfortable and fled the room. Ginny went off in search of Harry, Ron and Hermione, while Nikki and Fred went back to her room. "I didn't know those two were close." Nikki commented, eyeing Fred warily.
"Between Harry and Ron's fight and the tournament, she stated hanging out with us more than normal. Claimed she couldn't stand their bickering anymore." Fred said, shrugging.
Sighing, Nikki began to pack Lauren's trunk. "She worries so much about them. Those two boys will be the death of her and Hermione." She said, as said boys entered the room.
"Is Lauren alright? I know what I said was rude and tactless, but she normally just brushes it off. I didn't mean to make her cry." Ron said, staring down at the floorboards.
"She'll be fine. I don't think you're the whole reason she's upset." Nikki answered.
With a wave of her wand, she sent the younger years from her room and had the door locked and warded. She turned to Fred and said "Bill noticed something odd on my neck. Care to explain?" She asked, glaring darkly at him.
Fred gulped, knowing she was angry at him. "I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean to mark you." He said, quickly, in hopes of calming his girlfriend down.
Without warning, Nikki began to snicker and soon, she was clutching her stomach, laughing loudly. Fred eyed her curiously, wondering who had hit her with a Cheering Charm. Catching his curious expression, Nikki said "Your face…ha-ha…it's so funny!", trying to catch her breath.
Fred rolled his eyes and quietly snuck up on Nikki, who had her eyes closed, still laughing. He wrapped his arms around her and threw her over his shoulder. She shrieked and squirmed, trying to get free. "Freddie, put me down!" She demanded, kicking her legs, trying to kick him in the gut.
He snickered and wrapped his free arm around her legs. "You don't want me to become impotent, do you?" He said, as she stopped trying to get free.
"There's always George. You two do look alike, you know." She retorted, glaring at the floorboards.
Fred pouted and said "I thought I was your favorite, Nikki."
Nikki snickered and said "You are, but George is cuter."
He grinned and opened her bedroom door. He quickly crossed the hall and slipped into his room. "Fred, what are you doing? Put me down." She demanded.
Fred could sense her panic and smirked. "I'm going to show you who's cuter." He answered.
Nikki giggled and pinched his arse. Fred jumped in surprise and nearly dropped her. "OI! I don't want to drop you, but if you want to carry on, we can." He said, gently sitting her in his bed.
Nikki kissed him and asked "What if George walks in?"
Fred shrugged. "He has enough sense to leave, I think." He replied, wrapping his arms around her.
She snickered. "In that case, you're going to finish by yourself. It's getting late. We have to get up early tomorrow." She said, pulling away from him.
"Don't go. I want you to stay in here." He said, pouting, as he pulled her back into his arms.
"Can I at least put on my pajamas?" She asked, relenting.
Fred grinned and said "You can wear something of mine."
She nodded, watching as he went to his trunk and pulled out a red and gold Quidditch jersey and a pair of shorts. He handed them to her and said "I won't look…much." He said, turning around.
Nikki rolled her eyes. She quickly pulled off her shirt and bra, then pulled on the jersey. The jersey reached midway down her thigh. She slipped out of her jeans and pulled on the shorts, or tried to. The shorts simply slipped off of her waist. Holding them up, she said "Fred, your shorts are too big. They're falling off."
Fred turned around, wand in hand. "I'll shrink them for you." He said, casting the spell.
The shorts shrank until they fit her perfectly. "Want me to shrink my jersey too?" He asked, as he took in her appearance.
To him, she looked perfect, standing by his bed wearing his clothes. Her long dark hair was tousled, probably from their earlier escapades. "No, its fine how it is." She answered, as he strode towards her.
He took her head in between his hands and kissed her. She was taken aback by the suddenness of his kiss. "Fred…" She moaned, pushing against him.
"Merlin, Nikki, you look so beautiful." He mumbled, pulling her tight against his body.
She laid her head on his chest, sighing. He picked her up and placed her on his bed. Sitting beside her, he kissed her again. She responded, as he slipped his hand up her shirt. "Nikki, love, you're so bloody perfect." He mumbled into his kiss.
She broke the kiss, breathing ragged. "Silly boy. I'm not perfect." She said, as he laid her down.
"Yes, you are." He said, placing kisses down her neck.
She moaned and he smirked, as he bit her neck, causing her to gasp loudly. He pulled back and stared down at her. Her hair was fanned out around her head, looking tangled and messy. Her pupils were dilated and her cheeks were flushed. Her lips were swollen and red. She was staring back at him, the lust clear in her eyes. He was sure she could see it in his eyes too. She licked her lips. She enjoyed seeing how Fred's eyes watched her movement. She shifted, knowing it would affect him. He froze, unsure if their relationship was ready to go that far just yet. As if sensing his distress, she said "I'm not ready to go that far, Fred."
Her words brought him a sense of relief, but deep down, he was a little disappointed. He knew he wasn't ready, but he was a horny seventeen year old boy. Just the thought of her naked in his bed aroused him. He was brought out of his musings by the sound of her giggle. He arched an eyebrow at her and asked "What's so funny?"
"The fact that your twin and Lauren are standing right outside the door. Lauren's face is so funny!" She replied, snickering.
"Thanks, Nikki. I'm glad you find my trauma so amusing." Lauren said, darkly.
"You're welcome, favorite little sister." Nikki retorted, as the two entered the room.
"I'm your only little sister, you dolt." Lauren muttered, shooting a glare at her older sister.
George watched the exchange, amusement shinning in his eyes. He was happy, now that Lauren had stopped crying and Ron had been punished for making her cry. He was going to find a nasty surprise in his trunk tomorrow on the Hogwarts Express. Snickering, George said "So glad we walked in when we did. Only Merlin knows what sort of compromising positions we could've found you in."
Nikki's face turned a bright crimson color at George's words. Her mind was a million miles away, as she imagined what her and Fred could've been up to, if they had gotten carried away. Fred's thoughts were just as corrupt as Nikki's were, just a bit more graphic. They were both pulled from their dirty thoughts by George's loud girly shriek of pain. They looked over at their siblings. Lauren had attacked George and was currently biting his neck. Nikki couldn't help laughing at the two, as George continued to yelp in pain. Fred debated whither or not to help his twin, but was distracted by Nikki shifting underneath his body. Nikki pushed Fred off of her and went to pull her sister of off George. "Lauren, was all that really necessary?" Nikki asked, eyeing her sister carefully.
"Yes! The bloody prat went and made me think of you two shagging! I do not want to see or imagine that at all!" Lauren whined, glaring at George, who was nursing a bruised neck, which looked like a huge hickey.
"Lauren, you gave George a hickey!" Fred exclaimed, as he examined his twin's wound.
Both George and Lauren blushed slightly, though neither noticed. Fred and Nikki did notice, but Nikki just thought Lauren was blushing because it insinuated that dirty things had occurred between her and George. "Lauren, go finish packing and get ready for bed." Nikki said, hoping to give her sister an escape from the embarrassment her boyfriend had caused her.
Lauren nodded and for once, listened to her sister. She fled the room and slammed her door shut. Nikki snickered at her sister's prudish antics. She turned back to the twins and found the two in a heated argument. "Look, mate, its obvious she likes you! Just ask her out already!" Fred was saying, glaring at his twin.
George shook his head and noticed her staring at them. "We'll talk about this later." He said and went to get ready for bed.
Fred shoved his twin and said "Go change in loo. Nikki hasn't even seen me changing yet. I don't want her to switch twins!"
George rolled his eyes, but did as his twin asked. "What makes you think I even want to watch you change clothes?" She asked, smirking at him.
"Cause I'm the sexy twin." Fred replied, grabbing his pajamas out of his dresser.
Nikki rolled her eyes and sat on his bed. Fred quickly stripped down and pulled on his red plaid pajama pants. He then joined Nikki on his bed. "So, what are we doing to do tonight, my darling?" He asked, snuggling against her.
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to brush my teeth and hair, then going to sleep." She replied, getting up and heading for her room.
She found Lauren in the middle of looking for her robes. Nikki sighed and said "Your robes are sitting on your bed. How could you have missed them?"
Lauren jumped in surprise and said "When did you get in here?"
"Just now. I came for my bath things." Nikki responded, as she searched through her trunk.
She found her toiletry bag and went down the hall to the loo. She went in and discovered George naked. His body was wet, meaning he had just gotten out of the shower. They stared at each other for a minute, then Nikki slammed the door shut. Leaning against it, she felt her face grow red as she thought of what she saw. If George looks that good, then Fred looks ten times better. She thought, enjoying the mental images she had conjured up of her boyfriend. Moments later, George emerged from the loo, his face bright red, and without a glance at Nikki, he sprinted back to his room, closing the door behind him. Nikki quickly entered the bathroom and did what she needed to do. As she ran her brush through her hair, she cursed Fred for getting her hair tangled up. Once she finished, she went back to her room and threw her bag back into her trunk. Lauren noticed her sister's odd actions and deduced her sister had walked in on one of the older Weasley boys getting out of the shower. This made her snicker till she realized the incident would lead her sister farther into the twins' corrupt perverted world. Nikki cautiously entered the twin's room and saw George had a few bruises on his person. She eyed Fred warily, noting the pout on his face. "Georgie, sorry about that. I forgot you were in there." She said, as she sat on Fred's bed.
Fred pulled her closer to him and said "You know, George and I are identical twins".
Nikki felt her face grow red, as she thought of George's body. Fred noticed and said "Hey! Stop thinking about him!"
"I wasn't. Let's just forget about it and get some sleep." Nikki said, quickly, hoping to forget what she had seen, as she got under the blanket.
The twins agreed and Fred snuggled in beside her. After a quick snog, to which George threw his shoe at them once he realized what his twin and Nikki were up to, Fred and Nikki cuddled together. Soon, they were all in a deep sleep.
