Quidditch World Cup Part 1

Quidditch is the most addicting sport in our world. It is the most popular game among wizards and witches and a big part of my life. George and I loved flying because it made us feel free and that nothing could stop us. We loved being Beaters because we found them hilarious and liked knocking them around with the club. It's funny because Hermione told me that in history before the ball was called a "Bludger" it was actually called a "Blooder" which I thought that name suited the ball more. I am obsessed with the blood thirst off the sport and try to play or watch a game whenever I can. I missed the pitch at Hogwarts and I couldn't wait for the World Cup. Ireland Vs. Bulgaria it's going to be a bloody wicked game.

"Beer, the solution to all life's problems" said George walking out of our kitchen.

"Beer, the cause of probably half your problems" said Hermione laughing.

"Okay guys are we ready to apparate?" I said locking the shop up. Everyone agreed and pulled out their wands. We all apparated to England to a large field going for miles. There were hundreds of wizards and witches everywhere. We go into our magical tent and set up for the over-night stay.

"Do you want me to put green or red color in your hair Hermione" asked Angelina.

"Red please, I'll do my face myself though thanks" said Hermione digging through her purple bag for the paint.

"Red? Hermione you're the enemy!"I stand up pointing my wand at her.

"That was the whole point" she smirked pointing hers back.

"You think you stand a chance?"I said laughing

"Try me" she said grinning wickedly.

"Is anyone else hungry?" Said Ron rubbing his tummy.

"You're a pig Ronald we just ate" said Hermione laughing pointing her wand back in her pocket.

"That is a sure fire way to my heart Hermione. Buy, make or be food!" He screamed throwing an Irish flag at her. George started to walk out the tent.

"What are you doing brother? I said setting up the bed.

"Nobody ever knows what I'm doing it keeps me mysterious" he said walking over to Hermione kissing her on the cheek and then disappearing out the tent. I pull out some beers and hand them to everyone.

"Cheers to a night we will never forget. Finding ourselves in a drunken mess singing and being merry" I said raising my bottle.

"Cheers" said everyone clinking noises all around.

"Who's hungry? Said Ron.

"For heaven sake Ron, I'll go with you" said Angelina grabbing her bag.

"I will too. Hermione, you want anything?" said Harry grabbing his wand out of his robe.

"I'm fine thanks. Maybe later on tonight" Hermione said.

"Freddie would you like anything?" Angelina asked me grabbing my shoulder.

"Maybe some more fire whiskey?" Fred said thinking of George wanting to pick some extra up.

"Okay, back in a bit" she said leaving with Ron and Harry.

I walk over to the wooden table we set up and sit down. I start going through the fireworks George and brought for the celebration and then look over at Hermione.

"So are you and George official now or?" I said while she was putting red paint under her eyes.

"I don't know we're just going with the flow of things you know? He makes me laugh and is always up to something" she said not seeming like she wanted to talk about it.

"Drink?" I said filling up a cup and handing it to her.

"Sure, just make me stop when I had too much" she said laughing.

"Yeah, is singing Hogwart's school song a sign for having too much?" I said smiling.

"What?" She said sounding horrified.

"You sung to me our night at the pub" I said taking the glass from her.

"I did not" she said putting her hand to her mouth.

"You did it was beautiful though" I said started humming the song mockingly.

"SHUT UP FRED!" She said punching my shoulder. "I can't remember much of that night."

"It's okay you didn't do anything embarrassing In front of anyone else. It was actually really funny. Don't worry about it" I said patting her shoulder.

"I never got to thank you again for taking care of me" she said genuinely.

"Anything for you Granger" I said smiling. I reached over and pushed a strand of red hair back behind her ear. I liked being so close to her even if it was for a second. I started to lose myself at that moment. Her skin was soft and made me feel warm with fire butterflies. I've been trying not to talk to her as much for George's sake but I couldn't help it. It wasn't right for Angelina either but I just change into a different person when she's around. Especially when she's alone, all my barriers end up shattering. I always try to play it off like I'm cocky and a cheeky flirt but it never was like that. I just didn't want to make her uncomfortable by feeling the way I do and she seeing me as just a mate. I cared about her feelings more than my own. I wanted to tell her after the war but when she got hurt, I just lost my mind. Thinking we would never get her back. So many times I've wanted to talk to her but the moments were always interrupted or my mind just went blank from looking at her. She makes me a daft git, without realizing it. I love her so much that it hurts my head. A few minutes pass and I'm still staring. Im looking into her beautiful sparkling brown eyes and lean in closer and smile. I grab her hand and put one on my shoulder and grab the other. I start dancing slowly with her around the table. She started to laugh that beautiful unique laugh and I smiled even bigger. It felt like it was just me and her, nothing else.

"You look good with red in your hair. Maybe I'll switch sides" I said touching the random streak of color.

"Fred" she said in a whisper and then started to lean in I felt her warm breath on my skin.

"AHEM" said Harry loudly and we both let go of each other and stared over.

"Oh, hey mate um, do you want a drink? I said walking to pick one up. Before he said anything everyone walked back in the tent.

"I got all of you souvenir hats and sparklers" said George, busting in throwing them at everyone. "A special Bulgaria one for mi-lady" he said bowing down and kissing Hermione's hand. She smiled at him and glanced at me for a second before walking out the tent with him.

"Here is your whiskey" Angelina said kissing me. "We probably should get going before the game starts."

"Do you care if I have a quick chat with Fred?" Said Harry eyeing me seriously.

"No problem we'll meet you guys at the pitch" she said leaving the tent.

"Harry I can explain" I started to say when Angelina was out of sight.

"Fred, I just wanted to tell you to be careful. There's a lot of people I care about who have a chance of getting hurt and I don't want to deal with the outcome. Hermione is my best friend and You and George are like brothers I never had" Harry said starting to sit down.

I sat down across from him and buried my head in my hands. I rub my eyes and then look at him.

"Everything I've ever wanted had been right in front of me Harry" I said grabbing a drink off the table. Yesterday I felt like I wanted to forget her for George but I just can't. I feel like we're meant to be together."

"What about Angelina?" Harry said harshly.

"I was going to break if off after we got back" I said trying not to sound as awful as I felt.

"And what about George?" He said seriously.

"I don't know but my life has changed since she came back from the coma. There's no going back for me" I said standing up from the table.

"Don't do anything until you tell George, it's not right and you know it" Harry said demandingly. "We all have choices and in the end it makes us who we are. What kind of person do you want to be? What kind of boyfriend or brother do you want to be?" He got up from the table and walked to the exit of the tent. "We probably should leave before they notice we're not there." So I followed him out of the tent and we both left for the pitch stadium in silence.
