Notes: So this week I have been wondering if I should keep doing what I'm doing and moving in a linear timeline. I came up with a few ideas for past one-shots (a few are more than half written). It was slowing down my writing and I wasn't sure if I should stop and rework the whole story or just plow through and post those other bits later.

I still haven't decided what I'm going to do yet my options are to either write other chapters and insert them into the story later (like move the chapters around) OR just start another story with more extra parts.

Regardless I'm going to plow through the story and finish the timeline then go back and write more fun stuff.

But let me know what you guys think/want.

Basically, this story will never end haha

And girl I bet that your neighbors hate us
Cause we could laugh all night and never sleep

It was just another late night adventure. George, Fred and Rose were quickly dodging the dark deserted halls as they followed the memorized root toward the kitchens. Ever since the dance Fred had been in much higher spirits than normal, and Rose's joy seemed to match it. Or fuel it.

Maybe a little of both.

Like tonight, as George is lead the way with Fred whispering horrible jokes to Rose who couldn't stop giggling at them.

"What did the samurai say to the Bee? Whats-sa-bee"

George turned around about to berate his brother and girlfriend to stop being so loud but the sight that met him made him think otherwise. Rose had the widest smile on her face her hands clamped over her mouth as she tried hard not -and failing- to laugh loudly as Fred, Fred looked at her as if she was the most precious thing in the whole world. As if nothing else mattered. As if he had just found the answer to life itself, and that answer was the giggling mess in front of him

"Would you two stop being so adorable and be quite."

"Sorry," Rose whispered.

"Sorry," Fred mimicked.

George rolled his eyes, what was he going to do with those too? It wouldn't be so bad if Rose didn't encourage Fred so much with her laughing. Honestly, the jokes weren't even that funny.

"Hey Rose, what do you call cheese isn't yours?"

"What?"

"Nacho cheese"

oOoOoOoOo

Tons of students filled the library poring over books or distracting themselves with their friends. The Weasley twins were surrounded by other students chatted and showing off new tricks. Fred was engaged in a conversation but his attention was slightly taken by a certain blonde a few tables away.

Rose sat quietly working on a paper with Josh and a few other students. Norie was telling a story and Josh who was leaning forward enthralled in her story. Rose seemed only half interested. Her eyes kept flickering to something across the room. Fred had tried to make out what was catching her attention, normally Rose was the person that was so enthralled in any story -no matter how boring the Twin found it- you could barely pull her away. Yet today something kept pulling her away.

Suddenly she slid out from her seat and walked over to a group of girls. Among them stood Abigail. Her ratty notebook clutched to her chest as she stood slightly hunched as three Slytherin girls prodded and poked at her. One of them, a pretty blonde snickered saying something Fred couldn't make out.

"Is there a problem here?" They all looked up to see Rose, her face stone cold.

"Who are you?" one of the Slytherin girls hissed eyeing Rose.

"The girl who is going to kick your arss if you don't leave my cousins alone."

Abigail's big almond shaped eyes, looked up at Rose and Fred could see her face was slightly flushed, eyes bright with unshed tears.

"I don't know what you are talking about." the same girl said flicking a strand of hair behind her shoulder.

Rose leaned forward and Fred, interested, moved closer to hear. She was speaking so low it was hard to make out what she was saying.

"I'm talking about how you and your little posse need to move along and stop bothering Abigale. You guys have been bugging her for two weeks now and if it doesn't stop I will personally make your life a living hell"

"You don't scare me"

"Oh, I should."

"You're a Hufflepuff!" The Slytherin's loud shrill voice caused many students to look "What do you think you can do to me!?"

"Sweetie, we Hufflepuffs shouldn't be underestimated. And really you are the reason the Slytherins have such a bad name. Stop bullying other girls because you are jealous and get a life of your own"

"Hey Rose. Abigail where have you been? We are waiting for you" Alfie said coming up behind his sister taking Abigail's hand. The boy's eyes were darting a warning look at the girls who looked completely shocked as he pulled the dark skinned girl away from them.

Rose took a step back whispering something to the girls who looked back eyes wide with horror then turning she walked back to her seat.

"Uh, bye Alfie" One of the girls crooked. Alfie gave her a look of disdain, something you hadn't seen often.

"I would never want to be on the other end of those two" George whispered behind Fred.

"Especially when it comes to their family." Fred nodded.

oOoOoOoOo

'I got your message what's the plan this time?" Rose said, her eyes bright with excitement.

"Well, looks who's excited," George said looking down at the lanky girl dressed in an oversized t-shirt and shorts.

"I've never been invited on a pranking trip!" She said giggling looking from Fred to George.

"Great, well I will be down the hall, Fred will fill you in once the time is right," George said before running off. Rose watched him go then turned to Fred excitedly. Fred felt his stomach flutter.

They stood in silence for a few moments. Rose looking like a little excited puppy unable to stand still. Fred unusually silent and slightly awkward. If Rose wasn't so excited she may have been more aware of the redhead's actions.

Turning to look down the hall again she ran her fingers through her hair.

"I love you."

It was barely a whisper, could have been a gust of wind for all she knew. Maybe she had imagined it all together. "Huh?"

"I said, I love you, " Fred said, his hands in his pockets slightly hunched. Red bangs hanging over his eyes as he looked at her.

She looked around as if she was waiting for the walls to start oozing green goo or something. "Is this part of the prank?" she asked.

"No… well, there we aren't really having a prank… I mean… George asked you to come because I wanted to tell you, that… I love you Rose." He took a few steps closer to her so that he was standing right in front of her. She looked up at him her eyes glowing in the moonlight that spilled through the large windows of Hogwarts. Gently she took his hands in hers.

"I love you too Fred Weasley."

He let out a soft, relieved, laugh, as he leaned forward to kiss her. As he closed in she pulled away. "But," she whispered putting her fingers over his lips, "I'm bummed we didn't pull a prank."

Fred laughed shaking his head as he leaned in for another one of those addicting kisses, "I promise you will come on the next one."

As always REVIEW! I love you guys!
