Big Girl

Fred's POV

Brownie has a secret… Me and George WILL find out… It's what we're best at! I chuckled at this thought and sat down next to Brownie as George had sat by Lee. Knowing full well I'd have to sit next to Brownie, which is what I wanted of course. George obviously knew that. He had teased me for the past two years about having a crush on her. What're twins for, eh? He still didn't like anyone, nor did Lee. I still had no-one to tease THEM about. JUST HURRY UP AND GET A CRUSH ALREADY! I need to tease you! Ah well… OOH! We're gonna be 14 in…7 months! Exactly! How cool is that? 14… 3 years closer to of age…

Soon enough we got to Hogwarts. Finally. It felt like AGES! We didn't fall asleep once! Well, me, George and Lee didn't, Brownie, as usual, did. Of course. Ginny didn't usually allow her to sleep until late at night, chatting to her all the time. Brownie didn't mind though. What perfect time to sleep than on the Hogwarts Express, with 3 boys to keep an eye on you? Especially if those 3 boys are the pranksters extraordinaires? Yeah, I am being sarcastic. She's so lucky that we all like her enough not to prank her. Much. She usually assisted us, the least we could do was make sure she wasn't pranked. Much. Whenever we did, she just got us back just as good, and our respect for her grew. I mean, normally girls don't "do" pranking. It's not… Ladylike. Brownie doesn't care though, she just does it anyway. Usually in a class, as long as it's not Transfiguration. Everyone understands her love for Transfiguration. She is amazing at it… She actually gets compliments from MCGONAGALL! AND SHE CALLS HER 'BRONNIE'! McGonagall! Surprised much? I still am, even though it's been two years. Bloody hell, she even helps us with our homework! As long as we help her in Charms though. She's good at practical, just not theory, unlike me and George. She helps Lee in Transfiguration in exchange for him helping her in History of Magic, which he surprisingly is good at! He can actually survive Binn's lectures! I think he secretly finds them interesting… Ew.

But. Whilst on the train, we had a little, shall we say, bet… Which house is Harry Potter going into? Lee and George said Ravenclaw. Because he must've been clever to stop You-Know-Who. Me and Brownie said Gryffindor. He must've been brave to survive it! And so, we went into Hogwarts. We sat down and watched the Sorting. Lee and George both handed us 5 sickles each as Harry was put in Gryffindor. We chuckled and stuffed them in our pockets as Harry sat next to Brownie and started to chat to her. Truth be told, I was a little jealous. What if he liked her? I couldn't compare with The Boy Who Lived! I continued to worry, but cheered as Ron was sorted into Gryffindor. He sat next to his new best friend, Harry, and Harry turned away from her to chat to him, politely of course!

Brownie turned to me. 'So. Who should we prank on this fine first night?' she chuckled. I beamed. We had taught her well…

'Well, I was thinking Filch? It's probably been a while since he's been doused in dungbombs…' We all made a game plan and then left for the dormitories, ready to rendezvous in the common room at midnight.

We got to the common room at midnight and we talked through the plan again, before sneaking out of the common room, bringing the map with us, and made our way to his office.

Me and George went first, waiting for Lee and Brownie to follow. This plan went well. We snuck to his office using the map, God save the Marauders, and got there. Brownie looked around and pulled the dungbombs out of her pocket.

'Here you go!' she whispered, handing them to me. I nodded my thanks and me and George positioned them under the door, where we could see him pacing. We got up and ran for it, hearing his yells. We got to the common room and sat down. I looked at them.

'Where's Brownie?' I asked fearfully. They all looked around and gasped. She'd gotten caught! I shook my head and leapt up, out of the portrait hole and to Filch's office. I heard her being yelled at and burst in. Brownie looked up, sadly, then her face lit up.

'Freddie!' she smiled. She was happy to see me. Me! And she used my petname George had given me. His was Georgie... I smiled at her and sat down beside her, holding her hand. Filch sneered at me.

'What do you want, Weasley?'

'I'd like to confess to this crime, sir, it was me, not Brownie!' I told him. Brownie opened her mouth. I sighed. 'Silencio' I whispered, pointing my wand at her. She'd kill me later. I couldn't let her take this detention though.

'Well, well, well. Detention Weasley, tomorrow night, 7PM, go to the Girls Bathroom on the Second Floor and you'll find cleaning supplies there.' he snarled. I nodded my head and pulled Brownie out. When I got out, I took the charm off her and she growled.

'I'm a big girl Fred! I could've taken it!' she snarled. I took a step back.

'But I did do it! You just helped!' I said worriedly. Her hair was practically floating with how angry she was. You could hear it crackling. Her green eyes were bright, almost as if they were glowing. I gulped.

'Silencio!' she smirked. I gasped. I took my wand out to undo the spell and she said 'Expelliarmus!' My wand flew out of my hand and I groaned silently. 'You'll get it back in the morning. Then I'll forgive you.' she said quietly, before stalking off to the common room, leaving me gaping at her.

HEE HEE HEE! Fred's annoyed her! ;)
