32-" I will NOT lick Trevor!"
Fred Weasley and Alicia Spinnet
Wednesday Afternoon
Fred was walking with a big goofy smile on his face. For Godric's life, he was wrapped around the Ravenclaw's finger – again. He had thought that after summer break he would have freed himself, but he hadn't and since coming back, the feelings had doubled.
Merlin.
Maybe after dinner he could sneak into the Ravenclaw common room and finish the kiss that he'd had with Gabriela…
A sigh made him realize where he was.
Fred found himself in the Courtyard and his Quidditch teammate Alicia was looking from afar at his best mate – after George, of course – Lee.
Merlin indeed.
Sneaking up behind her, he whispered, "What's so fascinating about him?"
She jumped in surprise and a blush crept up her cheeks. "What do you mean?" she asked, looking away.
Fred rolled his eyes and sat next to Alicia on the bench. "Now, you can't lie to me, Alicia. It's like lying to McGonagall. I sniff the truth out of you."
She just raised her eyebrows in confusion. "What?"
Fred sighed and shook his head. "I'll put in a good word for you."
Alicia blushed even more and berated herself mentally for her state. She decided to change subject. "I believe we need to complete our challenge."
This made Fred groan. "I have been making myself ignorant of it. Can't we change it?"
Alicia shook her head with a frown. "No."
Fred's hands covered his face and his freckles, tapping his forehead. "Hmm, I feel that between us, you should do it."
Alicia's mouth fell open. "Why me?"
His long fingers separated a bit, a grin overcoming his face. "Now, Alicia, we both know that you've been drooling over Lee since third year an – "
"What has that do with anything?" she interrupted him with a glare.
"I was getting there. Relax," Fred said, his hands dropping. Sighing, he grinned again. "Well, what if Trevor is actually a human and when you kiss him, he'll turn into your Prince Charming and that will make Lee jealous and then he'll fight for you and the – "
Alicia's hand covered his mouth. "Fred Weasley, if you think that for a second that would convince me to do the challenge, then you thought wrong."
"Buh ig wonk," he mumbled, his blue eyes looking bright.
Alicia dropped her hand in disgust and wiped it clean on his school robes. "Ugh."
"Come on, Alicia. What if it does work!" he said excitedly. "Anything is possible, if you've got enough nerve," he encouraged.
She looked at him if he had said the sky was green. "Fred, I will not lay my mouth nor my tongue near that toad."
His grin widened even more. "I see. You don't want to waste your first kiss on a toad. Lee is a lucky gu – oww!" Fred massaged his arm. "Why did you hit me, it hurt. You're not even a beater!"
"Shush, Fred, or he'll hear for Merlin's sake. Can't you speak a little bit lower?" Alicia said with a worried face. "And anyway, even if I kissed someone else or even licked Trevor, Lee would never notice me."
Fred rolled his eyes, his arm going around her shoulders. "Now, Alicia, that's no way for a Gryffindor to talk. Come on, you're getting all mushy on me."
He stood up and pulled her arm, making her walk back to the Gryffindor common room.
…
It had taken them about two hours to look for Neville's toad. And finally they had found him inside a bowl of strawberry salad.
"Merlin, why is he slimy?" Alicia whispered, taking him out.
Fred pulled a face. "I don't know, but we've got to hurry and look for Hermione if we want to get the Chocolate Frog."
Alicia passed Trevor to Fred who took it with a grimace and both ran to the Gryffindor Tower.
Fred knew that a run from the kitchens to the Tower would take at least two minutes. Well it took them at least another two hours to get there. Unfortunately, Trevor had slipped from Fred's hands more than once. And every time they tried to catch him, he would slip from their fingers. One time, when Alicia had him and was about to lick him while Fred shouted in encouragement, the toad had slipped from her hands in fear. Another time, Fred had fallen on the floor, his arms stretched out to hold Trevor, and at that precise moment Blaise bloody Zabini had kicked Fred in the ribs, making Trevor escape.
And it would be like this over and over again – each time Fred and Alicia would shout and curse, damning Trevor with all their beings.
…..
"Oh! I almo-drat!" Alicia hissed, glaring at Trevor. "Get over here, you rotten toad!"
She ran after him and Trevor just slipped again.
"Merlin! I hate this challenge," she said.
Fred who had gotten to her side was breathing hard. "I…agree."
"Maybe we should just quit and be done with it," Alicia said.
Fred, who'd had his hands on his knees, regained his strength and stood up straight. "Are you sure the Hat didn't say Hufflepuff or something along those lines? Come on, those tickets are ours."
He took her hand and they ran after Trevor.
…
Alicia was kneeling. Trevor hadn't noticed her – yet. Her tongue sticking out, she quietly reached for him. Her hand was over him, about to hold him whe –
"Trevor! Thank Merlin I found you," Neville said happily and picked him up.
Alicia's brown eyes looked up at Neville with a face that promised death. Fred's mouth was so wide open that a fly could get in.
Neville looked confused. "What's wrong?"
"You can't be serious! We've been after him for four hours and then you come and get him like what we did is nothing," Fred said, getting frustrated.
They were in the Gryffindor common room. Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Angelina, George and Lee were there among other Gryffindor students.
"What are you talking about?" Neville asked.
Alicia's huffed, "What we're talking about is your bloody toad slipping from our fingers and we've been going after him all bloody day!"
Everyone in the common room looked at them. Hermione's gaze was understanding – so this was their challenge. How horrid. Neville still looked confused. Alicia stomped her feet. "For Godric's sake! Give me Trevor."
And without waiting for Neville she went forth, grabbed Trevor, quickly opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue and licked him up and down. Everyone including Fred groaned in distaste – except for one.
"That was bloody hot!" Lee exclaimed, getting weird looks from everybody else.
Alicia blushed, giving Trevor back to Neville. She was going to clean her mouth out with soap for the rest of her life. Hermione quickly put a frog inside their jar. "Disgusting," she murmured.
Fred smirked and leaned towards Alicia. "Guess you don't need my help anymore."
