A/N: I'm sorry! I've not updated in a while! Well um this idea came to me while I *Cough* was serving detention with two of my friends…we um broke a few things and the teacher got mad, but it was hilarious!
Following the Rules
"Ahhhhhh!"
The screaming woke Fred up from a rather nice dream. Of course it would wake him up nobody screams like that in the morning!
"George wake up, where Sev?" The younger twin woke up thinking he was still dreaming.
"Where wha…?" "Snap out of it! Get up! Let's go find Sev!" The elder twin hissed back at his twin while drawing his wand out.
Fred prayed that he wouldn't have to duel with whatever made that scream! Hell he didn't even know how to have a wizards duel!
"What is it, what's going on!" George stayed close behind of his brother.
"Arg!" The twins frowned at the person who made that horrible, ear piercing, scream. No, no, no it's too early for this. That scream came from the only other person in the room. Severus Snape.
"Sev what are you doing?" Fred lowered his wand and gave a sigh of relief.
"Arg! I dropped my potion!" The agitated boy crouched to study the mess he made.
Fred looked at the tile floor in horror. "You were making a potion! You not allowed to!" Irritated and pissed off Severus pulled out his wand. "Sod off weasly…"
Reacting with instinct the elder Weasly pulled his wand out. "Don't raise your wand at me!" The boy lifted his brow up. "This isn't for you Weasly. Reparo. The jar came back as it once looked. Once more he used another spell. Scourgify."
The tile looked shiny and new. "There now leave me alone." George kneeled in front of Severus and grabbed both his shoulders. "You know that potion could have been very dangerous. Someone could have gotten hurt" George gave a sweet smile but at the same time gave him a stern lecture.
Cold, emotionless eyes looked at the Weaslys face. Severus being lectured! On how to take care of potions no less. "Weasly I have been studying potions since before I started attending Howarts, I know everything about them."
He roughly slapped the red-heads hands away. "So know I'll be brewing my potions, and don't worry I'll be brewing them in the room."
George was left shocked as Severus stalked away from him. "Very rude…you brat." Muttering under his breath. He shook out of shock and faced his older brother. Fred roughly shook his head from side to side NO! You do it! He mouthed to his brother.
George looked agitated. Please! He mouthed back looking desperate. Fred threw his hands in the air! "Fine!"
Fred caught up with Severus and grabbed his wrist. "Um Sev, we need to talk. Here sit down." Severus was sitting and Fred lifted one finger. "Rule number one: No talking back." Severus looked amused. "Sorry Weasly but I like talking back."
The red-head twitched but kept smiling. "Rule number two…" He lifted another finger. "Do everything we say." "In your dreams." The de-aged potion master crossed his legs. Weasly tried to hold back his anger.
"Rule number three you'll listen when a persons speaking." Blunt and straightforward…"No."
Inhaling and exhaling deeply Fred stated the last rule. "Rule number four! You'll listen and obey all these rules!" Severus looked as if he was enjoying the scene playing in front of him.
"Weasly,if you heard my previous statements then you know that your 'rules' don't apply to me."
Weasly looked as red as his hair. "That's it! He's your problem George not mine!" Severus smirked. "Good because I never wanted to be your 'problem'." With that being said he grabbed hi books and marched out of the room.
"Fred…" The younger twin tried putting a hand on his brother's shoulder, but he shrugged it off. "Not now George."

In the dungeons one irritated potion master grade papers. "Idiot weasly! Calling me a problem!" He placed the papers to the side and went to his potion storage. He searched in the C's. "Calming draught."
Just as he was about to drink, it slipped out his hands. "Shite! This has been happening all day! What can't I hold a simple potion?" He massaged his temples.
•••••••
"Fred! Please" The Weasly boy turned. "No! Why should I? He clearly doesn't appreciate us! I'm tired of it!" George whined.
"Fred you have to understand! He's very…difficult to understand. He can't show emotion like us…it's hard for him." Fred pouted and crossed his arms. "SO! Does he have to act that way! It's not my fault!" "Okay! No it's not your fault, but did you have to call him 'a problem'." George put emphasis on 'a problem' using air quotes. "Like I said Fred his feelings are very complex to understand."
Giving a tried sigh Fred slumped into his char. "George hush!" He hissed at his younger brother. "I know what you're suggesting. You're saying I just hurt his feelings." Fred mentally slapped himself.
"How was I supposed to know! I didn't actually mean he was 'a problem'! He's just very hard to handle!" George gave a light smile. "I know. And don't worry you'll know how to apologize." George gave a light peck under Fred's eye and then served himself tea."
The now very confused twin tried thinking of ways to apologize. He huffed at headed for the door. "George if I come back spitting fire, that means it didn't work."
◘◘◘◘◘◘◘◘◘○○○○○○○○○•••••••••••
Fred shivered. The dungeons never appealed to him. It didn't help that he was now going to apologize to the 'greasy git'.
He opened the door and found Severus on the ground picking glass of the floor. "Sevi-…Severus what are you doing?" The potion master looked up. "That's 'sir' or 'professor' for you Mr. Weasly"
Severus replaced the broken ingredient with new ones. He continued his brewing.
"Sev-…Professor stop. I said you weren't allowed to make potions." Fred tried making his voice sound sweet and soft. "I assure you not . Your 'rules' don't apply to me do I have to repeat it." He poured the sunbeans in.
Fred tapped his hands lightly. "Please…" His eye so sincere so honest. Severus absentmindedly grabbed the ingredient next to the rat tails. "Professor! Have you gone mad!"
Startled he dropped the entire unknown ingredient in. Fred had enough time to shove his professor out of the way. The cauldron exploded sending Fred into other potions.
Broken glass and many potions mixed into Fred's skin. "Ahhhhhh!" Tears of pain crawled down Weasly's face. "Burns! Burns! Off! Get Off!" Fred started coughing violently. Shaking fiercely he laid unconscious.
Severu ran to his quarters. He was very shocked! He had never messes up on a potion. Grabbing a hand full of floo powder he flooed off to the hospital wing. "Madame Pomfrey! Please I…Weasly!" He couldn't seem to connect his words. "Help!" He managed to cough out. The medi-witch managed to understand what he was saying.
They flooed back to the dungeons and found a much paled faced Weasly on the floor. The medi-witch conjured a stretcher and placed him upon it
George rushed to see his brother. He gasped to see him covered in bandages. He looked pale, hurt, and maybe even dead.
Pomfrey explained that he was in a very deep sleep, and she didn't know when or if he would wake up. Severus looked from the distance, it was his fault. George stood there looking at his brother in awe. He walked up to Severus and gave a weak smile. "It's okay. It's not your fault. Okay? Something's just happening, so don't blame yourself.
Four days and not a movement from Weasly. The same routine. The younger Weasly would stay most of the day. The Severus would visit. "What are you doing. Wake up already." He sounded tires and stressed possibly. What's this feeling? Guilt? Anxiousness? Concern? "Weasly what are you doing to me?"
Severus stretched his hand. Starting from his hair. "Soft" He muttered. He traced down to his forehead, then to his nose, his cheek which felt oddly soft and then his-
"Your hands are cold professor…" Startled he snatched his hand back. "Your awake I'll call Madame Pomfrey…or the other Weasly." "No wait…" Fred called out weakly.
"Professor I'm…I'm sorry I called you a problem. I was just angry. I was trying to keep you safe."
"Sorry? You're sorry! I should be sorry!" Tears leaked out of his eyes. "I'm the one who got you hurt! I'm the one who denied to follow…to follow the rules!"
Fred laughed a bit before erupting into a coughing fit. "See I told you follow the rules. It wasn't your fault Sev. It was just a mishap."
Severus petted Fred hair. "Just go back to sleep Weasly,no just go back to sleep Fred."
