74. Horrid Rule!
**Fred's POV**
"Ya!" The other students cheered.
I looked at 'Mione and winked at her.
George and I were in the courtyard doing some tricks with a firework spark.
"Ya, go Fred! Go George!" The students yelled.
I shot the spark high into the air and waited for it to come back down to me.
Me and George's fun was then spoiled by none other than Dolores Umbridge. She wiped out her wand and caused the spark to be attracted to her wand and it was sucked into her wand.
The students were then upset and 'Mione walked over next to George and I while we glared at Umbridge.
"That bloody twit!" I said darkly.
"Don't worry. Once we get back home, you can do all the firework tricks you want" 'Mione said smiling as she put her arm around my waist.
"You know, 'Mione, you are the only other person besides George and Lee who really gets me," I said, putting my arm around her.
"Well that makes sense since we've been best friends ever since my first year at Hogwarts" 'Mione said looking up at me with a bright smile that was perfect.
Best friend. That's all I'll ever be. I've tried for five bloody years and I still can't muster up the courage to ask her out. Five years! We act more like a couple if you ask me. We kiss each other on the cheek, hug each other, put our arms around each other, and I'm not even dating her. It's like she only likes me more like a brother then a boyfriend.
'Mione, George, and I all headed for the Great Hall when I stopped at the entrance.
"Fred? Fred what's wrong?" 'Mione asked.
I pointed to yet another rule that was added by Filch to the wall of horrid rules.
**'ALL WEASLEY PRODUCTS WILL BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY' **The rule read.
"That is bloody wrong!" George protested.
"This is completely unfair to pranksters everywhere" I said, shaking my head and making Mione giggle.
"Come on, you two. Harry and Ron are waiting for us" She said and she grabbed my arm and George's and we headed off to sit next to Harry and Ron.
"What rubbish those rules are!" I exclaimed.
"What did Filch put up this time?" Harry asked, smirking.
"Umbridge banned all Weasley Products" 'Mione explained.
"I feel like I'm having a nightmare," George said, pulling his hair lightly.
"It's the worst thing she had ever put up there," I said.
"It's the thirtieth rule Filch has put up there" 'Mione said.
"It's also the worst rule in wizard history. Or world history" George said.
"She's making us dress properly" Ron said as we saw he was dressed 'properly' then usual.
"I think Filch is putting up another rule" Harry said as he pointed to the entrance.
We saw Filch with his things, but he left to get his bloody ladder.
"Let's see what horrid rule he's putting up this time" I said, smirking and we left the Great Hall and we waited for Filch to come back.
Filch came back with his ladder that was extremely long. Filch turned around causing the ladder to move along with him almost hitting George who ducked like all the others who were about to get hit as well.
"Hey, Luna," Harry said, noticing her as she stood up straight after she had ducked like some.
"Hello Harry" She said in her dreamily voice.
"Hi Luna" 'Mione and Ron said nervously.
"Hello Hermione. Ronald" Luna replied.
"Luna" George and I greeted with a simple nod.
"Weasley twins" Luna said nodding back.
"Weasley twins?" I asked George quietly.
"She knows our names. Why not use them?" George asked.
Luna soon walked away getting ready for her class.
"We better get to class. See you later, you two" 'Mione said as she kissed me on the cheek and left with Harry and Ron.
See! Do you see what I mean?! We kiss each other on the cheek, hug each other, and stuff like that and we're still not a couple! It's seriously starting to bother me. I want to ask her out, but she'll just reject me. If I don't, nothing will be happening anytime soon. I either ask her out or stay lonely until I leave the school. I'll never get to see 'Mione everyday. I'll never get to hear her laugh. I'll never get to hang out with her after I leave. I got to be wise about what I do.
"Freddie? Are you awake?" George asked, waving his hand in front of my face.
"What? Oh. Sorry, Georgie. Just dozed off a minute ago" I said calmly.
"Thinking about Granger?" He asked with a smirk.
"She may be your Granger, but she's my 'Mione. She always has been" I said.
"She's yours now?" George teased.
"Shut up" I said and we headed off to the common room.
