Chapter Four
The party in the Gryffindor Common room was the best one yet. Fred and George had managed to gain access to food and drink from the kitchens, and it was in full swing by the time I had returned from the Hospital Wing. I put what had happened with Flint behind me and enjoyed the celebrations. Soon games were going on and people were beginning to act stupid because of the drink.
Hermione and Harry introduced the rest of Gryffindors to a game of Truth or Dare. I watched, seeing as the twins were playing and knew that some of their truths and especially the dares would be the worst and stupidest. Even though I was not playing, I still ended up in the game, thanks to truths and dares made by other people, when it came to Fred's turn. It was like people were trying to get us together. The answers he gave to the truths surprised not only me, but most of the people still left in the common room.
Everyone had gone to bed, and it was just me and Fred left in the common room. I was sitting in the comfy chair by the fire, reading my book, when Fred came and sat on the arm of the chair.
"Hi." I smiled at him.
"Hey."
"Did you mean what you said? I mean the answers to the questions of the truths." I blushed slightly, knowing it was a stupid question but I just wanted to hear for sure and be certain he meant it.
Fred gave me a confused look, but replied "Yes I did. Seeing as you and the whole of Gryffindor know my true feelings, I suppose I better do something about it."
I look at him, but he just smiled his mischievous grin and kissed me on the lips. I smiled and returned the kiss. "I suppose this means you will go out with me."
I stood up; he looked confused but soon clicked on what I was doing. He moved to sit on the chair and I sat on his lap, snuggling into his chest and carried on reading, while he fiddled with my hair. I could not believe this was happening. I was happy, but something deep down I was not quite happy. It was like there was a piece missing in my chest. Then I knew why. Fred's kiss was nothing like Flint's. Whilst both had soft lips and were both gentle; there was no butterflies going off in my stomach like when Flint kissed me. I tried to put this feeling behind me; I knew that it would never work out with Flint. For one, we were complete opposites and in different houses; which did not get on.
The rest of the school year went by just as quickly. Everyone was studying for the end of year exams; fifth and seventh years studying for O.W.L and N.E. . I was working just as hard as the rest; besides I had extra lessons to continue with Professor Dixon, even if Quidditch had finished. Flint had looked mad when Fred and I had walked into the Great Hall hand in hand and the Gryffindor table erupted into huge cheers. I looked at him and could see hurt in his eyes, but I knew it would have never worked.
The train home was just as eventful as the school year; Fred and George playing pranks and exploding snap, Angie, Alicia and I planning our annual summer outings and when we were available to meet up; I knew now I had to include meeting up with Fred. But this summer was going to be the best. The train arrived in London and I soon caught sight of Stefani and Phoebe, who had somehow managed to get off the train quicker than me. I gave Fred a quick kiss and said I would be right back. I gathered my things and ran straight towards Stefani, giving her a huge hug.
"Oh how I missed you."
She laughed returning the hug. "Ha-ha, it has been what, seven hours since you last saw me."
"Oh, I know, but I still missed you." I said, before turning round gathering my trunk and owl and returned to Stefani to find the Weasley family standing there.
"I see congratulations are in order. You are both welcome round ours anytime," Mrs Weasley said while giving me one of her bone-crushing hugs.
"Thanks Mrs Weasley, I am sure to take you up on that offer." I placed my hand back in Fred's and turned and kissed him.
"Come on you, better be going. I have things to do." I turned and smiled at Stefani, giving one quick kiss to Fred and followed her and Phoebe out of the station.
I was looking forward to the summer break.
