The week went by in the same manor. Get woken up by the twins, class, homework with Luna and the twins then bed.
So you can imagine my joy when the weekend came. The alarm clock issue wasn't really a problem anymore. With my personal red haired ones, I didn't even bother to turn it off on Friday night. I imagined how annoyed the girls would get. Ha-ha.
I was lying in a large field, on my back staring up at the sky. The clouds took shape of Luna and me at first, hanging out, then me and , and finally me and Fred, in a more-than-friendly hug.
I jolted awake. The sun was dazzlingly bright. I knew who as behind this. I pulled the covers over my head in a failed attempt to hide myself.
"Oh no you don't Dee! Get up!" Fred yelled in my direction.
"Dee's not here!" I mumbled into my pillow.
"Oh really?" He said, I could hear the teasing grin in his voice. Then the bed slumped over to my left side. Fred straddled over my waist and pinned my arms to my side.
"Fred! You're crushing me!" I squealed. He didn't care.
"Sleeping Beauty! I shall awake you from your enchanted slumber!" He yelled in what I assumed was supposed to be a noble voice. He lent down and puckered his lips. I'd kissed Fred before, on the cheek, and one time when we were 12 caught under mistletoe, but that didn't stop me from getting butterflies in my stomach when he leaned down.
"Fred! Not funny! Get off!" I turned my head from side to side, while thrashing my legs.
He kissed my cheek while making obnoxious kissing noises.
"Fred!" I yelled, still trying to get up. I turned my head again, and this time I caught Fred's lips. It was quick, but our lips lingered there for what seemed like forever. Then he leaned down and kissed me again. This was nothing like before. Before was a meaningless peck on the lips. This was a passionate, full-blown kiss.
He pulled away, got off the bed and stood at edge. I was still lying down, I hadn't moved. After what seemed like years, Fred spoke.
"I'm sorry. That was….-I'm sorry" He said again. Sorry? He was sorry for giving me the best kiss I had ever had? Sorry?
What was wrong with me? Last year, if this had happened, I would have slapped him and made fun of him for years. But, now, I….I don't know, I enjoyed it. Whoa. I can't have feelings for Fred? I mean, I love him, but it's a friendship love, not a love love.
"Its…its okay." I managed. He then crept out of the room, leaving me there, puzzled and confused.
Next Day
Fred and me didn't tell anyone about our kiss. Well, I told Luna of course, but Fred doesn't need to know that.
"Was it a kiss like between friends?" She has asked in her dreamy way, her pale eyebrows slightly furrowed, as she was deep in thought.
"No, it was like, a real kiss. And, it felt…I don't know, it felt right, you know?" I asked, desperately seeking advice.
"Well, I suppose if you think this is what you want, then you should give it a try." She answered.
"But do you think it might ruin our friendship?" I worried aloud, asking more myself than her.
"It might. I suspect that you will probably end up with long periods of time where you won't speak to each other, but I also think you two are perfect for each other. So, if you really love him, what's stopping you from taking a chance?" Luna said breathlessly. That's what I love about Luna. Always honest with you.
"Thanks Luna. I should get back to the common room." I stood, gave Luna a quick hug, and headed off.
Back in the common room, I sat on the couch. Well, I really laid across, again, taking up more space than I needed. Soon, Fred joined me. It was the first time we had been alone together since he kissed me.
"Hey." He seemed timid. Great. I didn't want to ruin our friendship before I gave 'us' a shot. If. If I gave us a shot.
"Hi" I decided to play timid mouse along with him. That way I was sure I didn't mess up.
"Listen, Dee, we should, um…talk….about, well, you know, when we-"
"I know. It's been way to weird between us." I interrupted, knowing exactly what he was saying.
"Well, I know it was….I don't know, odd of me to…to, um-"
"Kiss me" I supplied, no trace of awkwardness in my voice.
"Yes, kiss you" He said, seeming slightly less shy. "And I know you probably want to forget it, and I want just as much as you do for things to go back to normal, and-"
"Fred, you can't deny how….right that felt." The words were out of my mouth before I had them in my mind. Great. Now I had royally messed up.
Freds POV
"What?" I asked, trying not to look dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was saying. And I don't wan to ruin our friendship and-"
I pressed my lips against hers for the second time in less than a week. The same sparks and passion were still there, and she had just admitted that it felt…right to her. I could live with that. Right. I could fix that; Build into the love I had felt since second year.
