I own nothing but Odile and my crap writing. Enjoy!
"Fred, you've got to help me. She's a tyrant." Odile moaned, plopping down on the couch next to him.
"Oi, that's my Mum you're talking about there."
"And while I appreciate that, if I have to stand in the kitchen one more time recounting the story of how we met, I'll go crazy. Please help me." She begged as she flopped her head over his lap. They'd only been here a week and a half and his mother was already driving her crazy. He laughed at her struggles and proceeded to run his fingers through her hair.
"It's only a few more days. And you get used to it. You just need to relax Black Swan. Just relax."
She yawned pleasantly and curled up, getting closer to him. He gently laid a blanket over her body as she got more comfortable. He then leant back on the couch, flicking through a notebook with one hand, and stroking her head absentmindedly with the other. They stayed like that for what felt like hours, after she had long since dozed off. He felt his eyelids begin to get heavy, when his twin burst into the room.
"DIN-"
"Shhhh!" He hissed, gesturing at the sleeping girl curled up in his lap. George gave him an odd look before lowering his voice.
"Dinners ready."
"Alright, we'll be there in a minute." George still had that odd look on his face, but simply nodded and exited the room. He looked down at her with every intention of waking her up, but found himself pausing. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. All the anger and weight of world that she carried had disappeared. She was so peaceful and really all he wanted to do was fall asleep right next to her. He felt himself leaning down, and pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. He straightened back up and shook her lightly. He smiled softly as she yawned like a newborn kitten and slowly sat up.
"Wha time is it?" She asked, voice slurred from the deep sleep.
"7 o'clock. You've been asleep for quite a while Black Swan." She blinked before shooting up with a look of horror on her face.
"I promised your mother I'd help with dinner. Shit, she's going to hate me." He chuckled at her panic and shook his head.
"No one is going to hate you. And I'm sure she dragged Hermione into it instead. Stop worrying so much." She looked at him for a second before slowly nodding and pulling the blanket off herself.
"Alright then. But let's get going. Before they start wondering where we are, or make assumptions."
"Whatever are you talking about?" He asked with a smirk as he leant over and nestled his head in her neck. He felt her gasp as he began to gently kiss her neck. When he was met with no resistance he then began to leave bruising kisses up towards her face.
"Fred I- fuck it." She mumbled, pulling his body closer to hers. He grinned when he saw the purple marks on her pale skin already beginning to appear. He had just pressed a gentle kiss on the corner of mouth when Sirius burst through the door.
"MOLLY SAID DINNER IS READY AND-" he stopped speaking when he saw the predicament to two teenagers seemed to be in.
"Uh… sorry for interrupting. I'll just… uh." He said awkwardly pointing towards the door and ran out as quickly as he could. Fred dropped his head, internally doing a facepalm. She cleared her throat after a pregnant pause.
"Uhm, I guess we'd better go eat."
"Yeah. I suppose we should." Fred replied with a sigh before untangling himself from Odile and standing. He then offered her a hand, with a smile.
"C'mon Black Swan. Don't want to miss Mum's cooking do we?"
############
"So dear, you disappeared on us. Whatever happened?" Asked Molly as she spooned some roast potatoes onto her plate. Sirius looked up with a smirk.
"Yes Odile, wherever did you run off to? Come to think of it, I didn't see you today either Fred." Odile felt her cheeks heat up and ducked her head.
"I was working on some school work, and uh… Odile was helping me." Fred replied giving Sirius a "stop-fucking-around" look.
"Oh, I see," Sirius smirked nastily, ignoring the teenager's glares, "On a break too. You must be very dedicated."
"Yes," Odile broke in, clearing her throat, "Fred is really bad at History Of Magic. And I'm uh… better."
"Oh I'm sure you are." He and George then shared a look that screamed trouble. Suddenly, George coughed slightly and looked up at Odile.
"Oh Odile, you've got a bit of dirt on your neck." He pointed to his own neck, as if showing her where the obvious hickies decorated her skin, but let out a controlled groan when he felt a sharp kick on his shin.
"Thanks George, you're a real help." He grinned at her fury, always up for a match.
"Oh no problem, anything for my future sister-in-law." Her eyes narrowed before an evil smile curved her lips.
"Thank you George. that's so sweet. So I've been meaning to ask, how's Angelina?" He sent her a glare as he heard his mother gasp and turn to him.
"George? Who is this girl?" He dropped his head into his hands.
"No one Mum."
"Really George? I'd heard it was quite serious." Odile replied, like the salty bitch she was. If looks could kill, she would have been hung and quartered by now.
"Really? Well, you know gossip. By the way, how's the house hunting?" It was now her turn to glare at him.
"I wouldn't know George, but how is your girl? I do remember you announcing her as true love on last Valentine's Day. Or was that somebody else? No, I specifically remember the red sweater with the "G" on it. Maybe you'd just had one too many shots of fire whiskey?" They were in a full in glare war now, with the rest of the table looking back and forth as if watching a particularly entertaining tennis match.
"Really now? By the way, when are we going to see the ring? Or even a kiss? You two have such an odd relationship. Especially how you two met. And remember that time you punched Fred in the face? What fun." Odile suddenly felt all eyes judging her.
"Excuse me." She said shortly, and pushed out of her chair, and exited the room as quickly as possible.
"Too far George. Too far." Growled Fred as he quickly got up to follow her. When they had left all eyes turned to George.
"Nice chicken Mum." He simply replied and tucked back into his meal.
"Fred, I knew they'd hate me."
"How many times do I have to tell you? They do not hate you. So maybe you punched me in the face. That doesn't change who you are."
"And who am I?"
"You are the most incredible girl I've ever met. You're kind, intelligent, and very bad arse. In fact, even when we were fighting, you've always made me feel… happy." He finished, ducking his head. She grinned at his shy face.
"I um… didn't know you felt that way."
"Yeah well, whatever. Just, come on. Let's go downstairs." She sighed but stood up from her perch on the couch to follow the red head.
"Fine, but just so you know-" She was cut off when she bumped into Fred's back.
"Fred, for Merlin's sake, warn me next time."
"My fault. Sorry." She looked past Fred, who had his arm crossed and eyes narrowed at his twin brother.
"Oh… George. It's you."
"Yeah. Um, Odile, can I speak to you? In private." He asked giving Fred a pointed look. Fred opened his mouth to protest when Odile gave him a look.
"Fred, it's fine. Look, why don't you go grab us some of those mince pies thingies and sherry. I'll be down soon. Ok?" He grunted after a moment and pushed his way past his brother to go downstairs. When they were alone they stood there awkwardly for a moment before Odile suggested sitting down in the seating area. George took a moment to pluck up his courage before turning to the brunette.
"Look Odile, I want to apologise. What I said in there… that wasn't on."
"It was a bit of a dick move George." He laughed before sobering up and giving her an apologetic look.
"Odile, you've got to understand. Our whole lives it's been Fred and I against the world. Then you show up and everything changes. Now Fred does nothing but talk about you and-"
"Really?" she asked a bit too quickly. He smiled at the girl, the one his brother seemed to have fallen in love with.
"Really. Look, I might have been apprehensive at first. I mean, you did punch my brother in the face. I just want to know that you're right for him. That you won't break his heart." She giggled at this and shook her head.
"George, that is such a cliche thing to say. Look, I promise to have him home by ten, and to treat him like a princess." They both broke out into laughter at that.
"You know very well that wasn't what I meant." She nodded slightly, but still smiled at George.
"I know. Look I… I really enjoy your brother. Hanging out with him I mean," she blushed quickly correcting herself, "He's just… funny, smart, and unbelievably kind. He's just not what I expected you know. He actually cares about people no matter what he pretends, and though we started off on the wrong foot, I've really grown to like him and maybe a little later down the line, if everything goes right, I can see myself fall-" she stopped herself in her tracks realising what she was say.
"I uh- I mean… I just-" she fumbled looking for her way to backtrack when she saw the look on George's face. He was smirking hardcore, obviously trying to hold back a laugh.
"Alright then, you've convinced me. I'll allow you to date my brother." She gaped slightly before bursting into laughter.
"Not that I needed your permission, but thanks George. That strangely makes me feel better." George smiled warmly and nodded at the girl in front of him.
"Alright let's go before Fred thinks you're trying to kill me." Odile joked heading towards the door, George bursting into laughter as he followed her out.
A/N: MA BABIES ARE IN GOING TO BE LOVE. Ok, the ooonly thing I have with this chapter is I don't want you to think all of a sudden they're deeply, madly in love. They're teenagers with new feelings. Odile has never had a serious relationship, and neither has Fred. They're not instantly going to fall in love. But they are developing feelings they don't quite understand, and it's going to lead them to new places.
OK HOPE YOU ENJOYED FRIENDS!
