Dedicated to Kit ( ) who will always be one of my best friends and one of the most amazing writers I know. I finally finished her fanfic Obsession, cried my heart out and then had a spurt of creative energy. Also, I just feel like everything ever should be dedicated to her, because she is amazing and I love her so much.

"Hey boy you got me on my tip toes

Don't stop kiss me and away we'll go"

-Tip Toes

Jayme Dee

Rose had been walking down the halls peacefully enjoying a conversation with her best friend Norie. By conversion, of course, this meant Norie talking about the meanings behind some of the words in her newest favorite song with Rose listening. The subject had slowly started to take a strange turn as Norie began informing Rose about how she was going to feed the main singer. This included her someday feeding him so many waffles that he would become fat, thus no other girl would want him. She was informing Rose about their future of her sitting on a porch rubbing his now large belly when a red blur ran up to the tall blonde.

"Hey" Fred said jumping in front of the blonde who looked up at him meeting his smile with one of her own. Then as quickly as he had appeared he kissed and ran off to class.

"See you at lunch!" He called over his shoulder. Rose watched him go, a blonde eyebrow raised. Norie's gase also followed the twin.

"What was that about?"

"Better not to question it" Rose said shaking her head, "You were saying?"

To be honest, Rose had always struggled with just going with things. Because of her observant personality she tended to over think everything. Would this be right? What would the outcome be? Who was being affected? However, dating Fred meant you had to just go with whatever crazy adventure was going on around her. A skill she was slowly learning.

Fred would do many -all- things without even thinking. Sometimes there was no rime or reason to them. George, while more calculating, would rein him in a little. Yet sometimes, Rose had no idea what the three of them were doing until halfway through doing it. At first it confused her and made her slightly nervous. Mostly because she was worried she was doing it wrong. Whatever it was.

Mostly the whole dating thing in general was complicated and dating Fred was like hanging out with a firework. It was beautiful and fun at first but once it was over your ears hurt and you may or may not be surrounded by smoldering flames.

At first she had been nervously trying to keep up. Trying to flash as bright or be as loud. Yet, as time passed she found a new confidence in herself. She found her own grove with the twins, stopped caring and just flowed with it. If Fred suddenly wanted to dance in the middle of the hallway she would let him lead her through the waltz.

If Fred wanted to kiss her she would let him. Don't question why, just let it happen.

Soon she even had a few tricks up her own sleeve. She was playful by nature, when she knew she could get away with it.

oOoOoOoOo

"Hey" Fred smiled as Rose slid into the chair next to him. She smiled back as she placed her books on the table.

"You ready for the test today?" Fred's eyes grew wide and his brother, who sat on his other side, frowned.

"What are you talking about?" George asked.

Rose's face was totally blank as she opened her potions book flipping through a few pages casually, "Our test, Snape mentioned it last week. It's a huge chunk of our grade"

"No he didn't" Fred said flipping through his book much more frantically than his girlfriend, "or… I don't remember…"

"Shoot!" George said also searching through his book as if the flurry of pages would suddenly fill him with answers to his building panic.

Rose's giggle made the twins look up, "Just kidding guys" she snickered. Fred let out a light laugh and George sighed with relief.

"Oh I'm getting you for that one!" Fred said leaning toward her giving her a quick kiss.

"Go ahead a try, your reputation precedes you. I, on the other hand, don't have a reputation so you'll never see it coming."

"Hummm maybe, but don't try to trick a master"

oOoOoOoOo

He had meant to just make the book she was reading fly away. She just looked so peaceful sitting in her corner of the library -he had started calling it that because he always knew he could find here there- leafing through a book as she took notes in a small book. The whole scene was so adorable he just couldn't resist. However, he didn't plan on the book going crazy and ramming itself into Rose's face three times before flying off.

It had surprised her so much she had jumped to her feet giving a small yelp spilling ink on her robes. Her hands jumping instantly to her nose as she looked around with large shocked green eyes. Fred ran over his smile fading as he reached her.

"Rose are you ok!?"

"I think I'm bleeding" She said pulling her hand away to reveal a bright bloody nose. Her green eyes wide as she looked down at her hand, now covered in blood. She held it up for him to see as a child would if they had found something icky on their hands. The sight of the blood on both her hands and now gushing out of her nose made the red haired boy lose it.

"I'm… I'm so sorry! We have to get to you Madam Ponfrey! It was just a joke… get you back... How bad is it?" He learned closer to her noise to inspect it. His heart dropped and his face went ghostly white, "that's… that's a ton of blood!"

"It's just a nose blee…"

"It's broke for sure! Can you walk? Maybe you should sit…"

"Fred…"

"Yes, sit… no, I'll carry you…" He moved forward trying to grab her. Rose -feeling a little overwhelmed by his freakout- took a step back and stumbled hitting her head against the bookshelf. Fred grabbed her arm pulling her upright still freaking out.

"George!?" He looked desperately around for his twin who was nowhere in site. "I… we just need to get you to the hospital wing"

After several more freak outs and Rose almost falling up the stairs to the hospital wing the blonde was sitting comfortably on a bed letting Madam Pomfrey inspect her nose.

"I jokingly told him we had a test two days ago and he said he would get me back."

"Really? A nosebleed? seems a little bit harsh for a simple joke"

"I know, typical Fred, taking it too far." Rose glanced over giggling a little at Fred. She was joking, all in good fun, no harm was really done and this wasn't her first bloody nose. However, her smile faltered when the topic of conversation looked up mournfully from his seat.

"Better not be too hard on him" Pomfrey whispered glancing at the ginger. "He was quite worked up when he brought you in."

Rose giggled at the memories, "I was there"

"ROSE!" Rory and George burst into the hospital wing, Lee Jordan close behind.

"We heard you had blood gushing from your face!" Rory said looking over at his sister. She looked up at him, the bandages making her face look slightly puffy.

"What happened?" George asked his brother.

"I… I hurt her" Fred mumbled mournfully.

"WHAT!" Rory -who was normally almost as laid back as his sisters- yelled rounding on him however. His face was uncharacteristically flushed and angry. Rose grabbed his arm, wincing slightly, her nose felt rather raw after producing that much blood and all this screaming wasn't really helping the small headache that was growing. Her brother turned looking down at his younger sister, when he saw the smile on her face he knew she was fine. No reason to make Fred feel worse than he already obviously did.

"He made the book I was reading sprout wings. However, it got kind of out of control and hit me in the face. I just got a nose bleed. Looks a lot worse than it should." Fred watched still looking like a dejected puppy as she explained the past events that had landed her in the hospital. Even his normally messy hair looked flatter and his face was still slightly pale. Rose's heart lurched she hadn't meant to make him feel worse, she just let her sarcasm get the best of her. She couldn't help but poke fun at Fred after he freaked out over her. It was so unlike him that she hadn't really known how to react to it. Most of the time she kept her sarcastic observations to herself but with Fred her "true colors" came out a little more easily. However, seeing how upset he was now that he wasn't fussing over her she felt bad about it. After all, she was fine and had suffered much worse injuries before.

After all they went to Hogwarts. A bloody nose was nothing compared to some of the injuries that had come through these doors.

As they all left -Rory cracking some joke about a first year running up to him saying that Rose was bleeding her brains out of her nose- Fred took Rose's hand slowing her down so they were walking a few feet behind the others. Rose looked up at him her green eyes meeting his mournful brown ones.

"I'm sorry." He whispered, "I never want to hurt you."

She smiled squeezing his hand, her stomach giving a small flutter at his words."You know what this means right?"

"What?"

"You now have to take me on a Fred and George late night adventure to make up for it."

A smile broke out on his face, "Ok"

She smiled back, "Good"

He quickly leaned forward kissing her.

"OW!"

"Ohhh sorry" He said pulling away looking frightened but not for long because Rose was laughing shaking her head.

Fred waved his hands excitedly as he continued his story. Rose's emerald eyes wide with excitement as she took in his tale, "Then Peeves totally came out of nowhere knocking over the whole fixtures. Flinch was so angry…" he suddenly cut himself off quickly kissing her on the lips. Then, just as suddenly he pulled away continuing his story, not missing a beat. "his face was bright red, like so bright I thought it would explode!" He let out a loud laugh as he continued "George and I obviously didn't get caught since we are so cunning. After we ducked into a hidden passage -kind of like the one I met you in- and skipped off to eat some roast in the great hall like nothing had ever happened."

He nodded as if this was the story of his greatest successes. Rose probably would have thought it was too if she hadn't heard a similarly amazing accomplishment of mischief just that morning.

A story much like the one Fred was about to launch into when he was very rudely interrupted by a dark skinned boy who came up behind Rose. Wrapping his arms around her neck causing the girl -who had been too invested in Fred's great feats- to nearly jumped out her of own skin when she was touched.

"Who's this guy?" the boy asked eyeing Fred. He was dressed in Gryffindor robes a look of worry on his eyes. He was a year older than Fred who knew him by site but couldn't quite place the name. Maybe it was the ferocity on the other boy's face or the fact that he had interrupted him that had Fred on edge. Behind him stood a stoic Slytherin boy, black hair and piercing blue eyes. Rory had come up and was standing next to the Slytherin an amused smirk on his face.

"This is Fred, This is my cousin Josh"

"I know Rosie we are in the same house, I know who he is" Josh's eyes glared accusingly at Fred who looked back. Unsure why Josh was angry at him but not backing down from the challenge, whatever that challenge was.

"If you knew who he is why are you asking?" The Slytherin said rolling his eyes at Josh. The scruffy dark skinned boy shot a glare at the other boy. "Shut up Liem… Now," he turned back to Fred as he pulled Rose so close to him her head was buried in his side. "I hear you are dating our Rose. Well I'm here to tell you that she is really precious to us… so if you hurt her you have three boys who will kick your ass" He said eyes narrow. Liam let out a dry laugh.

"Rose doesn't need protection, especially from you. She is tough she can take care of herself."

"I was talking about Alfie you prick! At least that Slytherin knows how to enjoy himself."

"I'm going to finish my essay without you." Liem said, before walking off tired of Josh's antics.

Josh shrugged as Liam walked away, "Anyway, Weasley, I know where you sleep so take care of her." Josh said letting Rose go. The girl pulled away pushing him lightly.

"Your armpit stinks Josh" She said running her fingers through her hair trying to smooth out her helplessly messy bun. Josh merely glared at the red haired boy as he walked backward almost bumping into a 2nd year.

"Sorry about that," Rory said sitting down next to his sister, "Josh has a lot of energy"

"You were telling me about that prank?" Rose asked turning her attention back to Fred.

Fred shrugged and launched into his story. If that odd interaction wasn't going to faze Rose it wasn't going to faze him.

oOoOoOoOo

"What is this? Your 4th girl this year?" Rose teases as George looked on mournfully as Bridget, a pretty Ravenclaw girl, walked by, noise in the air.

"Rose! I need a girl like you? Do you have anyone you can hook me up with?" He asked looking over at the blonde who laughed.

"I have 15 cousins, all ages and genders, take your pick."

He tapped his finger to his chin looking at her from the corner of his eye, "Naw, I think I would rather date you."

Rose laughed taking his hand winking, "Sure why not!"

"Hey!" Fred said pulling her away from his brother, "you're my girlfriend!"

"You can't share?" Rose asked, mock shock in her voice.

Fred's kissed her quickly on the lips smiling down at her,"nope."

Rose, as if nothing had happened, turned to George. "Honestly though, why does this keep happening?"

"Because all the girls he dates are gits." Fred said casting a warring eye at Bridget. The girl was talking animatedly, maybe too animatedly, to her friends. While she seemed fine, to Rose she seemed too fine. This meant, in Rose's book, she wasn't fine.

"Oh, she couldn't help it!" Rose said, "It's that Weasley charm, makes all the girls lose their minds."

"You didn't."

"Maybe I did, I'm just good at hiding it."

Lee laughed "Or maybe, she was just mad before you met her Fred."

Rose nodded toward him as if he had just come up with the most brilliant idea, "There you go, see Lee get's it."

oOoOoOoOo

Fred was walking to class when he saw Rose running toward him. Her books tucked under her arm and her face light up as if christmas had come early that day.

"It snowed last night!" Rose said a huge smile on her face as she reached the twins. Her eyes sparked as they met his brown ones, excitement brimming from them.

"I am aware" Fred smiled at her feeling her excitement growing inside him as well. It was one of the things he loved about Rose. Her emotions were so contagious. When she was happy, the whole room was, when she was excited, like now, you couldn't help but want to share in it with her.

"Good, we only have a half day of classes so meet us by the large hill and we are going out."

"Bossy" George laughed rolling his eyes. Rose shrugged, nothing to dispel her mood today, not with fresh snow outside.

"You don't have to come"

"I didn't think I was invited"

"Of course you are! Lee too if he wants, Norie, Josh, Alfie and Clara are coming. Rory can't, he has some club or sale or something."

Classes seemed to drag on forever even though it was only a half a day. After each one Fred would notice Rose pop up from across in the hall and she would beam at him. He had never seen her this excited before, and it made the whole day seem to go slower. All he wanted to do was bask in her joy.

The day had about hour or so of sunlight left by the time they made the treck to a tall hill just outside the castle. Fred, George and Lee had made it to the hill first and could see the other group of people making their way up the large snow covered slope. Rose was running around everyone like an excited puppy chatting away. Josh following flinging snow at everyone and everything. Norie panted a few feet away, her short legs having a slightly difficult time keeping up.

Rose's younger sister, Clara was with them. Fred knew her because she was a first year Gryffindor. She was a quiet girl, like her sister, with blonde hair and dark hazel eyes. While Fred had never talked to her, he had heard stories (from Norie). According to the long black haired girl, Clara had tried to climb the whomping willow early in the year on a dare and had ended in detention with a broken arm.

The last person on their expedition was Alfie, Rose's Slytherin Brother. He was about two years younger than Rose and about two inches taller. Rose always talked about him as the handsome one. With a mess of blonde curls and bright green eyes he really was a good looking boy. Rose had pointed him out once, he had been walking into the dining hall with a guitar strapped to his back and a line of girls following him. "There's Alfie with his little ducklings" Rose has snickered waving at him.

When got close Rose sprinted toward Fred launched herself at him. The Weasley twin almost fell over as he caught her. She burst out laughing looking up at him, her freckled face slightly flushed from the weather. Fred kissed her nose which was slightly cold.

"She hasn't stopped talking since this morning about this trip" Norie said, "and that's rare for Rose." Lee laughed holding out his hand for Norie.

"Shall we?" he asked. She took it giggling as she asked about his day then launched into a long story about how Rose had almost got in trouble with a teacher because she couldn't sit still.

Next to them Clara sprinted to the top of the hill before placing a longboard of wood on the snow jumping on it.

"Race you Alfie!"

"You're on squirt!"

They stayed out for several hours until the last of the sun streaked the sky. Bright pink and blue cascaded cross the snow like splattered paint on a white canvas. Rose and Fred had ditched the others on makeshift sleds and had raced all the way down the hill. Fred had kept steering his sled into Rose who would squeal tossing snow at his face. By the time they had reached the bottom they were both red faced and laughing so hard they could barely breath.

"I think we lost them." Fred said looking up the hill where the others were throwing snow and laughing. Rose sighed looking up the hill.

"Should have brought a broom… that's a long way up."

"Yeah."

Suddenly he felt a huge fist full of snow hit the side of his head. He turned to see Rose looking off, innocently. She turned to look at him, large green eyes wide. "uhhh, you have a little something here" She said motioning to the side of her head. Fred grinned.

"I wonder how that got there…" He said rubbing the white flakes off his neck and shoulder.

"I wonder…"

He slowly took a step closer picking up some snow as he went. Rose giggled taking a step back.

"Wait Fred…."

"You started this."

"I'm starting to regret…"

He was upon her, flinging snow as she giggled trying to shield her face. He then abandoned the snowballs lunging at her. Picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder he twirled the giggling blonde around before they both fell into the fluffy white snow. They laid there, laughing while looking up into the slowly darkening sky, the first few stars shyly starting to flicker into the inky darkness above them. Painting, Fred turned to look at her and she looked back. A small lash had fallen onto her cheek

"There's an eyelash on your face"

"Where?"

Fred pointed to his own cheek and Rose, instead of just brushing it off, rubbed both gloved hands aggressively over her face. Looking completely ridiculous. She then looked down at her hands seeing the light hair in her palm. Shaking her hands so it fell into the snow she smiled up at Fred.

"Thanks"

However, he just stood there mouth slightly open then he burst out laughing. "What was that?" He asked between breaths. She watched him, confused.

"What was what?"

"This?" He mimicked her actions running his hands all over his face in an exaggerated motion .

"I was getting it off my face."

"I thought girls were all dainty and stuff. You know." He brushed his hand over his cheek lightly as if brushing away his own imaginary lash. Rose giggled.

"Oh sorry, did you want to get it off and I make a wish or something?"

Fred shrugged, "sounds cheezy."

"Yeah, which is why I killed it myself."

Fred snickered giving her a quick peck on the lips, "That's my girl."

oOoOoOoOo

"And then we all bet Clara that she couldn't eat the whole…"

Her words were cut off by Fred kissing her. Rose blinked for a moment then, without missing a beat continued her story.

"Thing, she totally did it too. it was so impressive. It looked like she had basically unhinged her jaw..." Rose opened her mouth wide moving her lower jaw as if unhinging it.

George laughed, "I like how you just kept going with your story completely ignoring him kissing you."

Rose smiled shrugging, "He just wants a response, which I won't give."

"Hey!" Fred pouted, "I'm right here guys"

"What are you guys doing this summer?" Rose asked still ignoring Fred. Both boys looked back confused for a moment so she continued. "This summer, school is coming to a close soon and I was wondering what your plans were when we don't have school."

"Well Dad has tickets for the quitage world cup at the end of the season but nothing before that."

"You guys got tickets? Really!? No way! HOW?" Rose turned excitedly at George waiting for him to tell her which he gladly did. Telling her how their father had gotten them from a friend and how Harry was joining.

As he spoke Fred watched Rose, he hadn't really thought about the summer. Sure he was excited about the game but he had been so busy living in the moment with his girlfriend that he hadn't really considered not seeing her for several months. What was it going to be like not having her around? Should he try and invite her to visit? Maybe not, she may not be ready for his mother. Thinking back at his mother he realized he hadn't even told her about Rose. I mean how does one even tell their parents?

By the way, I'm dating this girl and she's brilliant.

It just didn't seem like the right thing to say.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"Hey Fred,"

Fred turned to see Rose standing with her family. Rory was chatting Clara who was playing with her hair and Alfie who was strumming a guitar both laughing at something Rory was saying. Looking at them he realized that all four siblings were from different houses. Vaguely he remembered Norie mentioning this but he had never put it together until he saw them all standing together with their mis-matching robes.

Rose pulled him out of his musings as she took his hand. He smiled down at her.

"Yeah?"

She pulling him away from the crowd of people getting ready to leave. Her face was so serious he felt worried. Never had he seen her look so determined.

"What…?"

Once they were a few feet away from everyone she stopped, looked around then took one step closer to him kissing him. He kissed her back but as he was about to quickly pull away she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him close again, deepening the kiss. He gave a small grunt of surprise but greedly followed her movements sloppilly trying to mimic her gentle lips.

It was as if the world spun around them tilting and moving while they stood still in their own world. He never wanted to leave this world. Just live in it, forever with her.

When she pulled away her green eyes were glowing with laughter.

She had been right, she had the upper hand, she seem to know everything about him yet he seemed to be learning something new everyday. Everyday he was surprised by her. Everyday he learned something new and exciting. Everyday he tried to get a new reaction from her.

And everyday she made him fall more in love with her.

She did it without even trying, she did it as easy as she breathed. Because even her breath was a reason to love her.

"Visit me over the summer k?" she handed him a small piece of paper and a quick kiss on the cheek before running back to her family. Leaving a stunned Fred just standing there mouth agape.

I gave up on the editing. It's been like months and I want to move on with my life! 12 pages is a lot for someone who isn't super committed to this (I am totally lying to myself… I am so committed to this story). Anyway, I also apologize about any errors in things like timeline or Harry Potter facts I may have missed. I have read the books like maybe twice and it's been a few years.

Also, check out my Tumblr, I have a few image edits for this fic and other random stuff.
