I stayed awake in bed waiting for 12. I heard Pansys loud snoring and knew it was time to leave.
I stood up and put on a dark red sweater and a pair of tight jeans. Then I crept towards the door and down to the common room. I saw that no one was there besides Blaise who had fallen asleep on the couch. I passed him and crawled out the portrait hole.
I walked slowly up the dark dungeons gasp every so often when I thought I heard Peves or Filch. Seeing it was nothing but a rat, I kept going.
Fifteen minutes later I arrived at the gargoyles and saw Fred Weasley standing there nervously looking around. I walked towards him hoping he couldn't see me blush in this darkness.
"Hello Fred." I said smiling. He jumped.
"Oh! Calysta! Scared me! Come on." He grabbed my hand and led me to the wall where he moved aside a picture and climbed in dragging me with him.
"Fred, where are we going?" I asked after about five minutes of silent running.
"Were almost there, ah here we are. TA DA!" He led me into a large circular room with a high ceiling and a carpeted floor.
There was a table to one side with candles and burgers on it and the other side had a couch with a little fire crackling silently in front of it. I stared in awe at the tiny room, wondering why I had never heard of it before.
"My lady, would you like a bite to eat?" He said jokingly as he bowed indicating the small table.
"Why yes I would love one." I giggled as he pulled out a chair for me and I sat down.
We sat and ate our burgers laughing at the silliest things. I did impressions about Malfoy making him laugh and he told me about him and his twin, George, and how they were the 'Princes of Pranks.' We finished eating and made our way over to the fire watching the flames dance and talking about classes, teachers. I discovered that he disliked Snape. I told him how Snape had never liked me because of my father.
"Who is your father anyway? I thought all the Blacks were dead or married?" He looked at me puzzled.
I almost laughed at his expression but didn't. "My dad…he's…" Should I tell him? Why shouldn't I? He's doesn't hate him…does he? "He died when I was really young." I smiled sheepishly, letting one tear fall.
He looked almost sorry he asked before he wiped the tear from my face. Then, he cupped my face in his hand and kissed me. It felt so good and I forgot about what Draco had said. I wanted to run out and tell the world that I was in love with Fred Weasley! But of course with my luck, I didn't have to.
"I knew it! I knew when I followed you here that you were going to be with HIM! I'm telling father!" it was Draco. He had followed me out of the common room and down here and had been waiting for the right moment to jump in.
"You bloody git! Where do you get off talking to the lady like that!?" Fred was standing up now, face almost as red as his hair.
"For your information, I can talk to her however I want! She lives in MY house and has to follow MY rules. Seeing as her bloody father got himself-" Draco didn't get to finish.
Fred stood above his body, arm outstretched and hand in a fist. I gasped as I saw my cousin laying on the ground unconscious, his usually neat hair was a mess and his cheek was quickly swelling.
"Fred..You..We need to get him to the hospital wing!" I was so confused right now. This git was insulting me, the boy I loved wouldn't hear it, and now I wanted to help them both.
"You're right… Why did I do that? I just let him push my buttons." Fred picked him up and started to walk out of the room. I was on his heels.
