Normal Pov.
Fred walked with her up to the owlry to send a letter to her aunt. They talked a little, or more like Fred talked, and Jen would reply with a laugh , a smile , or quiet answer or reply. Finally reaching the tower Fred let her walk in first. As she walked by him Fred breathed in the scent of her perfume or lotion, he didn't know he just knew its smelt amazing. He watched her walk across the room and to a gray owl and tie the small parchment around its foot.
"Who are you writing to? If you don't mind me asking?" he asked walking into the room with his hands in his pocket.
She turned around slightly and looked at him then back to tying the string, "My aunt." She said as the owl flew away. She turned around to face him now. A few seconds went by when Fred spoke up again.
"So tell me about your family. How's mom and dad?" he asked pretending to be interested in the owls, but he really was trying to not seem so desperate for her answer.
She looked down at her fingers that we fiddling."I live with my aunt. I've never met my parents" she said silently. She gave a quick sad laugh, " I don't even know who they are or … who they were." She finished looking up and out the window at the sun that was almost finished setting.
Fred was now looking at her. He felt bad for bringing up the subject at all. All he could do at that moment nod and say, "Oh I'm sorry.". He looked at the side of her face. She mumbled very quietly to herself " me too.". He knew she never meant for him to hear her say that but he did and he couldn't help but think that there was more to her story then he knew or even she knew, but he didn't press the subject any further.
" I think its almost time for dinner." She said picking up her book from the ledge and they began to walk towards the dining hall.
Fred was telling about the one time him and George pulled a prank on their older brother Percy. They had taken the long way back through a part that was outside the castle. She gave a small laugh at him and it was now dark outside. They only saw each other's faces because of the light from the full moon in the sky. They could see the castle when they heard a crack nearby. They both stopped quickly and turned to look to see if there was a cause to it. They heard it again. Jen sucked in her breathe and suddenly became a little scared, pulling her book close to her chest again. Fred pulled out his wand and had it ready as they heard the crack again. "Stay close." He said to Jen. She did as she was told and took a step closer to Fred. Forgetting for a second about her huge crush on him because she was too scared. There was another crack and a luminous light. Fred and Jen both squinted at the light at Hagrid came into view. They both breathed out in relief.
"Oy! What are you two do out here?" Hagrid said
"Walking to the dining hall." Fred replied.
"Oh. Well go on now , I'm starving." Hagrid said and they all three walked to the dinning hall.
When they arrived Hagrid walked up to his seat and Fred and Jen were approached by Seamus.
"Hey Fred" Seamus said and Fred nodded at him.
"He Jen, I was just wondering if maybe you can help me with transfiguration homework? McGonagall said you would be able to help." Seamus said.
"Yeah sure." She replied smiling. She turned to look at Fred and smiled and walked to the end of the table with Seamus.
Fred felt a small bit of jealousy that Seamus would be spending his dinner with Jen ,even though it was just transfiguration homework, he felt a little weird. He shook it off and began walking towards George, but still felt uneasy about Seamus and Jen, but he didn't let it show.
As he sat down George had a huge smile on his face. "I see you found what you forgot in the common room hmm?" George said with a big smirk.
Fred gave a smirk at his brother then looked down the table at Jen and Seamus.
"Did you ask her to the ball?" Lee asked. Fred stared at Lee like he was crazy."George told us you were going to ask her..So did you?"
Fred gave his brother a look, to which George simply smirked wider and shrugged, then turned to Lee. "Yes I was planning on asking her , but no I haven't yet why?"
Everyone's face looked around, George gave a whistle and Lee made a face. " What? Fred asked.
"Well Fred. Someone heard Seamus say he was going to ask Swanson to the ball, and I would assume…" George said looking down the table. Fred's eyes grew wide, with a face of no emotion. Inside Fred was raging with jealousy. He was going to hex that Irish kid! He looked down at Jen and Seamus to see her laughing at him. He was smiling as well. Fred had lost some of his appetite and hardly paid any attention during dinner. He would always look down the table out of the corner of his eye, thinking that he lost his chance to ask her to the ball.
