Love you lots
Fred Weasley was known for being a player. He had been with almost every single girl in his year and a fair few in the years above him. Y/N was one of the only girls who he hadn’t ben with since his time at Hogwarts and it drove him mad. Y/N was best friends with George, and after hearing all the stories George had told her of Fred’s ‘conquests’ Y/N had decided that Fred was someone to be avoided. Avoided at all costs. It drove Fred to the brink of madness, he found himself pulling out all the stops. He would flirt daily with Y/N; he would come into the Gryffindor Common room still sweaty from Quidditch practice and pull of his jersey in front of Y/N. That usually worked with all the other girls. But not Y/N, she knew more than the other girls did. She knew not to let herself get carried along by the ginger playboy.
Inwardly Y/N hoped that Fred would get bored and move onto the next girl how he usually did when someone wasn’t interested, or at least that’s what George had told her. She hadn’t seen any girls who weren’t interested in being with Fred with her own eyes just yet. But Fred didn’t get bored, if anything he got worse and worse with each day. Y/N would have quite liked the attention if she hadn’t known that it was all for his List.
Y/N wasn’t supposed to know about the list, but George had let it slip during one of his nightly rants to Y/N about Fred back in third year.
“I just can’t believe he would get with Alicia, he knows how I feel about her. I was going to ask her on a date to Hogsmede and I had it all planned. It was going to be perfect” George said exasperatedly, throwing his hands up in frustrated
“Did Fred know that you had planned a date?” Y/N asked, as much as she disliked Fred she hated to see them fight, she knew how much George valued his brother
“I didn’t tell him” George admitted
“Well there’s the issue” Y/N said, by the sad look on George’s face she knew that he knew that too. “Why don’t you talk to Fred?” She suggested, the other times she had suggested for them both to talk it out it had worked.
“There’s no point, he’s obsessed with his stupid list” George snapped, his voice suddenly stopping once he had realised what he had said.
“What list?” Y/N asked, she wasn’t sure if she was pushing George’s limit, she could tell he wasn’t supposed to mention it but the curiosity got the best of her.
“Nothing, it’s nothing” George scrambled for the words to settle Y/N’s questions
“I can tell it’s something. You know that nothing we talk about leaves this room” Y/N said reminding him of the rule they put in place the first time George came to rant to her
“Ok, well the thing is Fred’s got this list” George started shifting on the bed so he was closer to Y/N, as if someone would hear him “It’s got all the girls names on it in our year and he’s determined to at least kiss all of them before seventh year” George said, Y/N’s jaw dropped she knew Fred was a player but that was something else. It was so calculated, so awful. So not what Y/N thought Fred was like.
“That’s not where I thought you were going with that” Y/N admitted to George “I still think you should talk to him”
“You can’t tell anyone about it” George said
“I swear no-one else will know that I know” Y/N said making a promise to George.
Y/N never thought she would be in this position a few years later, having to consistently turn Fred’s advances down. She found herself looking over her shoulder in the Common room, and inviting George to her room rather than going to his. Y/N had admitted to George how much she disliked Fred’s advances and George had tried to talk to Fred many times but each time he was shaken off with a laugh.
“I swear I think Snape might end up killing me if he sees this essay, I don’t think one word of it makes sense” Y/N ranted as she shuffled into the potions classroom next to Angelina
“Trust me if he’s going to kill anyone it’ll be me, I haven’t even written it” She laughed
“Let me hand mine in after you’ve told him that! Then he’ll be less mad at me” Y/N chuckled
“That’s cruel” Angelina laughed
“Self preservation Angie, Self preservation” Y/N grinned, slipping into her seat
“Morning girls” Fred grinned, as he climbed into the seat in front of Y/N, blocking her view of the chalkboard.
“Fred can you move to another seat?” Y/N asked
“Why’s that darling?” Fred asked
“I can’t see the board,” She huffed her pout only brought a smirk to Fred’s lips
“Ask me nicely” Fred grinned,
“Fred come on” Y/N snapped, “My grades are bad enough in potions without you making them worse” She said
“Swap with me” Angelina said gently placing her hand on Y/N’s arm
“No it’s fine, I’m just going to sit with Oliver” Y/N said, her hatred of Fred made her friendship with Angelina, George, and Alicia difficult when they all were friends.
“Love to know that I rile you up darling” Fred grinned, he shot her a wink as Y/N moved to the other side of the room.
“You ok?” Oliver asked, once he saw Y/N’s fuming expression “Is he still driving you mad?”
“Completely”Y/N huffed opening her text book as Snape walked into the room
“He still trying to get with you?” Oliver asked under his breath trying to avoid getting detention
“Yeah he is” Y/N whispered back, “Doesn’t seem to understand that I’m not interested”
“He hasn’t done anything has he?” Oliver asked, worried clouding his tone
“What do you mean?” Y/N asked, trying to copy down the notes on the board as well as listening to Oliver
“He hasn’t” Oliver paused for a minute “Done anything bad to you?”
“No! Oh Merlin no! Fred’s a flirt and playboy but he’s not that kind of person” Y/N said suddenly realising what Oliver was trying to get at
“Good. You know where I am if anything does happen” He said seriously, and Y/N gave him a smile with a laugh
“It’s Fred, he’ll get bored soon enough” Y/N grinned
The class dragged on, Y/N and Oliver didn’t dare speak out of fear of Snape giving them a detention especially after Y/N had given in her essay. Which Snape had accepted with a scowling look.
“Are you coming to the Quidditch game tonight?” George asked as they filtered out of the class
“Not tonight I’ve got to rewrite this essay if I want to even consider passing potions” Y/N said with a sad smile
“Wanna wear my quidditch jumper for good luck?” Fred winked “I heard that if you wear that and nothing else it brings the most luck” He added with a smirk as he walked past Y/N
“Don’t be a dick” She snapped harshly
“Come to the afterparty at least?” George asked, “I promise it’ll be fun” He grinned
“Ok, let me see how much work I can get done”
Y/N yawned as she stepped through the painting into the common room, she could hear the afterparty as she climbed the stairs. She knew that by this time most of the people would be drunk which meant that she could say a quick hello and then sneak up to bed without George noticing. She spotted the tall ginger in the corner with Oliver, Seamus and much to Y/N’s annoyance Fred.
“Y/N!” George shouted as he saw her walking over, Y/N let out a laugh at her drunk friend “Missed you at the game tonight” He said slinging an arm around her, she had to hold him steady to stop his swaying
“You’re looking good” Seamus winked at Y/N, she laughed off his comment ignoring the shiver that was sent down her spine from his tone
“I’m going to get a drink, come with me!” Oliver said dragging Y/N away by the arm.
Y/N’s plan to get to bed early had well and truly failed. Within an hour she was almost as drunk as both George and Oliver combined, she had just finished taking another shot with Angelina before collapsing next to Seamus on the sofa, she sent George a smile who was talking with Alicia.
“Merlin you can drink!” Seamus grinned at Y/N, he slung his arm across the back of the sofa where Y/N sat,
“I had a good excuse” Y/N laughed, leaning her head onto his shoulder in an attempt to stop the room from spinning
“What’s that then?” Seamus asked
“Quidditch, the team won! It’s a good excuse to drink” She laughed closing her eyes
“It must be hitting you hard” He commented
“Come here” Seamus said pulling Y/N onto his lap
“The hell are you doing” She said scrambling to get away, but Seamus’s tight grip stopped her from being able to move off of his lap
“Let’s have a good night” Seamus whispered into her ear
“Get away from me” She said, eyes frantically searching for someone to come and help her but nobody seemed to be paying them any attention.
Within an instant Y/N was pulled away from Seamus, and tugged behind a tall ginger.
“George? Oh thank god” Y/N said wrapping her arms around him
“Wrong twin” Fred said seriously, “What in Merlin’s name do you think you’re doing?” He seethed towards Seamus
“I’m sorry man I didn’t know what I was doing. I’ve been drinking” He said
“If you get like that when you’re drunk you shouldn’t drink. Now fuck off” He snapped, Seamus quickly scurried away and Fred turned to Y/N who was shaking like a leaf “You ok?”
“I think I just need some air” She said, “Will you come with me? I really don’t want to be alone”
Fred watched intently as Y/N hurried through the Hogwarts halls. Her hair hid her face from Fred. Fred had to keep a fast pace to keep up with her basically jogging through the silent halls, he knew that nobody would be around at this time but there was a part of him that wished for someone to turn a corner just so Y/N would slow herself down a little. He knew she was heading to the astronomy tower, it was the only place she would go at this time, he had seen her little name tag enough times on the map. George had let slip a few times that she tended to go up there when she needed a bit of space from the world; Fred had wished that night that he would soon enough be close enough to Y/N for her to tell him about her spot. But this wasn’t exactly how he had imagined it. Fred took the stairs in twos in order to keep up with Y/N’s fast pace as she made it up into the cold tower. Fred watched intently as she gripped onto the railings and looked out. Her shaky breaths filled the room.
“Are you ok?” Fred asked, not daring to invade her space so he kept a few feet back. He was a little hesitant at how close Y/N was to the long drop down to the ground but kept his mouth shut about that.
“Yes, yes of course! You can go back to the party” Y/N said hurriedly, but Fred didn’t believe the words that tumbled out of her mouth
“I’m not leaving you” He said taking a step closer
“Fred I’m fine” She said with a forced smile on her face, it was one that Fred didn’t like the look off. He couldn’t gauge how she was feeling and that worried him
“I don’t think you should be alone right now” he said gently taking another step so that his shoulder was almost touching hers
“I’m fine” She repeated through gritted teeth
“I know you’re not” Fred said wrapping an arm around her shoulders, Y/N instantly pushed him away from her and turned to him with scowling eyes
“You don’t get to use this to your advantage” She seethed, Fred could see the venom behind her eyes “You don’t get to do this right now”
“What are you talking about?” Fred asked taking a slow step towards her, he needed to know she was safe and holding her was the only way he could think would calm his screaming mind
“Don’t play dumb Fred, I know”
“I know about your list and the fact that you are using this to tick my name off of it isn’t fair” She snapped. Fred’s face dropped, he hurried closer to her just for her to back away just as quickly
“I haven’t even though about that since third year Y/N, you have to believe me” He scrambled as she pushed past him
“I’m going to bed, stay away from me Weasley” She snapped harshly.
Fred wasn’t sure what to do, he knew that Y/N knowing about his list was bad. Everything suddenly made sense in his mind as to why Y/N was refusing so many of his advances.
He watched intently as Y/N hurried back into the Gryffindor common room, he made sure to keep his space, knowing that space was the one thing she needed right now; despite it being the last thing Fred wanted. The moment she was up the stairs to the girls dorms Fred felt his body relax a little, there wasn’t any sign of Seamus but Fred couldn’t help but keep an eye out for him just in case.
George slumped down next to Fred and let out a yawn.
“Where did you go?” He asked, his words were slurred and Fred could smell the alcohol on his breath
“Seamus was giving Y/N some trouble, I went with her to get some air” Fred said bluntly, he didn’t want to hate his twin but George was the only one who would have told Y/N about the list
“Is she ok?” George asked worried clouding his tone
“She’s gone to bed now” Fred said, he ignored the pang of jealousy which spread across his body as George panicked over his friend
“I need to see her” George said standing up, he wobbled a little on his legs
“She’s fine, you need to go to bed” Fred said,
“Are you sure she’s ok?” George whispered putting his cup down on the table in front of him
“She’s fine, you can talk to her in the morning” Fred said leading George up to their room, he stayed behind him making sure that George didn’t wobble over
“I’ll find her tomorrow” George said as he climbed into his bed.
A few hours after everyone had left the party Fred found himself sitting in the empty Gryffindor common room, his mind ran away with him. Everything began to make so much more sense, Y/N changed after third year, she began to get more frustrated with Fred and now he understood why. Letting out an irritated groan Fred ran his hands through his hair. He had messed everything up with Y/N, he had let her believe that everything he did was all for that stupid list. He knew she wouldn’t ever see him as anything other than a player now.
Y/N sat at the Gryffindor table, Sunday breakfasts were always quiet and that was exactly what she needed right now. She nursed a cup of coffee in her hands and piled some toast onto her plate. Despite the amount she drunk she had woken up without a headache and all she felt was tired. Memories of Seamus had been flooding her brain all morning and it was beginning to drive her crazy. She couldn’t ignore the feeling of his hands on her body, it made her feel dirty.
She shook her head a little trying to get the feeling out of her head. When she felt someone sit next to her.
“Hey Y/N” Seamus said, Y/N felt herself freeze
“What do you want?” She asked him,
“I just want to talk to you” He said, Y/N half hoped for an apology but it didn’t look like Seamus was going to give her that. “Last night was fun” All of her hopes sunk down to the depths of her stomach and settled making a low ache.
“No it wasn’t” Y/N deadpanned, moving her plate along the table and sliding herself across the bench. Much to her annoyance Seamus followed her and once again his thigh was pressed against hers,
“Come on, don’t be such a prude now Y/N” Seamus said placing his hand on top of hers. She quickly pulled hers away from him and stood up. “Where are you going?” Seamus sneered towards her,
Y/N couldn’t find any words and just ran out of the Great Hall, she ignored the confused looks from the other students as the tears clouded her vision. All she could do was run, she wasn’t even sure where she was running at this point all she knew was that she needed to get away.
She slowed to a fast walk as she hurried though the halls, she was heading towards the secret passageway into the forbidden forest. She noticed a few of the familiar paintings as she continued. George had only taken her here once, and trying to remember exactly where the small secret door was, was more difficult than she had anticipated.
“Hey Y/N, What’s wrong?” A voice suddenly halted her steps, she turned around and came face to face with Fred, who looked down at her with nothing but concern in his eyes. He was wearing workout clothes but Y/N didn’t care enough to ask about them.
“Where is it?” She asked, knowing that George wasn’t the only one to know about the passageway
“Gonna need more than that” He said gently, taking a small step closer to Y/N, who ran her hands through her messy hair
“The passageway, need to get out of here” She said hurriedly
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea to go alone. Can you tell me what happened?” Fred asked
“Thanks for ditching me Freddie,” George said jogging through the halls, also dressed in workout clothes
“You were too slow” Fred replied his eyes never leaving Y/N’s teary face
“Y/N! You should have joined us for our run, it’s good for the hangover” George winked, the smile dropping off of his face when he noticed her expression “What happened?”
“What did he do?” Fred asked venom coated his voice, and the tone made Y/N shiver
“I just need to get out, please Georgie” She said looking up to her best friend
“I’ll go with her,” George said to Fred, wrapping an arm around Y/N’s shoulder and leading her out of the castle.
Neither George nor Y/N noticed the fiery look on Fred’s face. And neither of them noticed how he stormed off in the direction of the Great Hall with clenched fists.
Y/N was feeling better as she returned to the Gryffindor common room with George behind her, although the bubble of happiness quickly disappeared when she saw Fred’s beaten up face on the sofa as Ron held an ice pack to his nose.
“What happened?” George asked, rushing over to the sofa
“Nothing” Fred said his eyes locked on Y/N’s and she knew immediately what Fred had done
“Doesn’t look like nothing” George said
“Just a stupid fight” Fred said
“Are you ok?” She asked sitting next to him, backing off a little when Fred winced.
“M’fine” He murmured closing his eyes as he let his head lay on the back of the sofa
“You need to stay awake” She said gently
“I said I’m fine” Fred snapped, his voice harsh, “Just leave me alone” He said, it was the last thing he wanted but he couldn’t help but snap after he had seen George walk in with his arms around her when Y/N couldn’t even sit next to him. Y/N gave him a tight lipped smile, stood up and silently left the common room.
It had been a few hours of Y/N just catching up on reading, She couldn’t keep her mind off of Fred and it was driving her mad, Angelina had come into her room to tell her all about the fight between Fred and Seamus, not knowing what had happened the night before. Y/N couldn’t bare to listen, she knew Fred was hurting but all she wanted to do was comfort him, and that messed with her head, she was supposed to hate him.
A knock on the door brought her out of her head,
“Hey” Fred said as he swung the door open, now he had moved the ice pack Y/N could really see the damage on his face “George said you’re the best at fixing people up” He said sheepishly,
“Come here” She answered softly, Fred sat on the end of her bed and Y/N moved closer to him “Is this ok?” She asked as she raised her hand to brush his hair out of his face. Fred pushed his face into her hand, letting out a strangled breath at the contact.
Y/N leaned across her bed and grabbed her wand, lifting it up to Fred’s face she whispered a few healing spells and soon enough his face was practically back to normal apart from a few little cuts.
“Good as new” She whispered, her voice strained from concentrating
“Thanks Y/N” Fred said softly
“Why’d you do it?” She asked, looking Fred in his eyes for the first time in a while
“In case you hadn’t noticed Y/N, I like you” Fred said bluntly “Couldn’t let Seamus get away with making you cry, he deserved everything he got”
“I don’t know about that” Y/N said quietly, as she shuffled closer to Fred. “Do you actually like me Fred or is this all because of the list?” She asked
“I haven’t even thought about my list until you brought it up last night, it was a stupid thing that I did back when I was a lot younger” Fred said taking her hands tightly “If I could undo it I would Y/N” He said sincerely
“I swear on my life Y/N” He said
“Then Weasley, you can take me on a date” Y/N grinned, Fred’s face broke out into a beaming smile
“Tomorrow night at 6, dress nicely darling. We’ll want to get a good photo to look back on” Fred grinned “Then again you’re always dressed nicely, even in your PJs” he said with a wink
