Fred rushed through the hallways of Hogwarts like a bat out of hell. He was pushing people out of his way, running as fast as he could to get to the Gryffindor common room. When he had left Emerald in her yoga room, he had been calm enough. She was extremely upset and him being mad wasn't going to help matters. So he left her to do her yoga with a smile on his face, but as soon as he started walking through the hallways and thinking about things, he started to get pissed. George had no right to touch what was his…as stupid as that sounded, it was true. Emerald was his girlfriend and he would do whatever it took to keep her safe.

His blood was boiling by the time that he had gotten to the Gryffindor common room. He slammed the door open and instantly spotted his brother on the couch with tons of their friends surrounding him. He was lounging back with a huge smile on his face. They were joking about something, but he didn't hear a word that they were saying. All he saw was red…

"Well, look who's taken a break from fucking his hippie to rejoin the normal world!" George exclaimed from the couch as Fred stalked towards him. If George could have said anything to piss off Fred more, that was probably it.

The smile on his face was sending Fred through the roof. His blood was boiling as he watched his brother casually run a hand through his hair and keep the cheeky smile on his face. How could he smile at him like that? Why would he smile so happily like that after doing something so awful? He pursed his lips together with his fists shaking violently.

"Finally done pounding that pussy?"

Fred was all over George in a second. He pushed him over the back of the couch and started pummeling his face, anger pulsing through his veins with his teeth bared in absolute rage. The boys scrambled off of the couch and stood dumbstruck as they watched Fred beat the crap out of George. It took them a few seconds to realize what was happening before they jumped over the couch and tried to pull Fred off of George. They were shocked to see the Weasley twins at war with each other and they couldn't understand why. Fred was a powerful force that all five were extremely scared of, but the boys finally managed to pry him away from beating his brother to a bloody pulp. He had already started, of course; Fred's nose was heavily bleeding and there was already the formation of a black eye.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" He asked, not bothering to wipe the blood away from his lip. Fred was aggressively fighting against the restraints of the boys to get to his brother. Students who had once been content in their rooms were now rushing from their beds to see what the commotion was about. They were shocked to see the two Weasley brothers about to tear each other apart and five boys doing their best to keep that from happening.

"Let me go!" He called to the boys holding him back. "Why the fuck are you protecting him?"

"Maybe you should tell me why you're going psycho on my ass." Fred pushed away the five boys, letting out a loud scream.

"You raped her." He said with his teeth bared. George's eyes nearly dropped out of their sockets.

"Excuse me?" He asked. This time it was he who charged towards his brother and had to be held back. "What the fuck did you just say to me?"

"You heard me." Fred muttered. "You raped Emerald and I should kill you…you don't deserve to live…" George's eyes nearly bugged out of his head.

"What the fuck did you just say to me?" Both boys were pulling at their restraints like two dogs stuck in their yards, chained to the ground. "You've lost your fucking mind!"

"On New Years!" Fred shot back. "When you were staying in the fucking barn because you were being a pissy bitch!" George shook his head, thinking back. He had been piss drunk on New Years…but then he suddenly remembered screaming…and he had woken up with his pants around his ankles. At first he had just thought that he had needed to take a piss really badly, but now that he thought about it that wasn't the case. His body suddenly went slack as the realization hit him. Even when he had hated Emerald the worst, she would at least offer him a kind glance. Now she wouldn't even do that. She could barely stand to look at he or his brother…she had even been skittish around Fred. George suddenly felt very sick and on the verge of throwing up.

"Oh God…"

Fred finally broke free of the distracted boys and pushed his brother against the wall, his hands wrapped tightly around his neck. George grabbed at his brother's hands, but didn't make much of an attempt to push him away. His conscious was weighing down on him heavily and he didn't see the point of pushing Fred away and making him angrier.

"I'll kill you before you touch her again." He said through bared teeth. George gasped, feeling suddenly very light headed.

"Fred no!"

George managed to look up to see a terrified Emerald come running into the room, but Fred didn't even seem to notice. People were shouting now and trying to pull Fred away, but Emerald managed to push through the crowds and grab his shoulder.

"Stop this! Let go of him!" She screamed in Fred's ear. He slowly shook his head.

"He hurt you…"

"This isn't going to solve anything!" Emerald pulled at his shoulder again, trying to get him away from George. "Please stop, you'll kill him!"

It got very confusing after that. Nobody was sure if Fred pushed Emerald or if she just tripped over her own feet, but what everybody saw was Emerald falling to the ground and smacking her head against the back of the couch. There was a loud slam as her head made contact with the heavy lumber covered by the dark stained leather. She landed with a loud groan and everything grew quiet again. Fred dropped George back onto his shaking feet and instantly sank down next to Emerald.

"Emerald, are you all right?" He asked quietly, reaching up to cradle her head. Emerald stared at him for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh.

"I've caused you enough trouble." She whispered. "And you know that I'm definitely not worth it, so why are we even putting ourselves through this?" Fred's jaw dropped as she picked herself up and slowly headed towards the Gryffindor girl's common room. By then, people had rushed off to either help George or get Madame Pomfrey to come and help him. Fred was too busy chasing after Emerald to notice his half-conscious brother.

"What are you talking about?" He asked desperately. Emerald stopped in the doorway, glancing down at him with sad eyes.

"I'm tired of you and your brother always fighting over me. Now you hate each other and…I'm in the middle of it all…" She shook her head, blinking back tears. "I'm not worth it…I'm not worth any of this." She said with a weak smile. Fred went to grab her hand, but Emerald disappeared into the dorm room without a second word. Fred stood there for a moment in shock and disbelief. His hand instantly went to the door and he tried to pull it open, but it was tightly locked. He started banging on the door, desperately trying to get an answer…any answer…

"Emerald!" He called through the door. "You have to talk to me! Don't do this to me!" Fred waited, but his ears were met with absolute silence. He pressed his forehead against the cool door as his shoulders started to shake. "I love you…please open the door...?" Again, there was nothing but silence. He pursed his lips together, slamming his fist against the door and walking away. "Fine, I'll talk to you tomorrow."
