Fred Weasley II ✔ Going Back To You

Loving someone was never wrong. It can be the most fascinating feeling you'll ever feel. The only problem was, not everyone feels the same. Loving someone could also be painful. It is actually, most of the time. Because, no matter how much you want the relationship to be perfect, no one could avoid the pain. Everyone will get hurt, no matter how much you tried not to feel it. Because that's just how it is.

There's no such perfect relationship, and you cannot call it a relationship if you never felt the pain and have the struggles. Because loving someone, is feeling everything you've never felt before. It was euphoric. Just like a baby learning how to walk. Step by step, you'll feel every new emotion swelling up inside you. Until it was finally too hard to take, then you'll just break.

That's my case. I fell in love with a guy who doesn't know how to love in the first place. All he ever does is play around. Doing pranks whenever he feels so, and not even caring if his girlfriend was having fun at all. Unfortunately, that girlfriend was me. Former girlfriend to be exact.

I thought I would be the one to end the relationship, but the idiot broke it first. Telling me how he's not ready for it. Like, duh! He shouldn't have entered a relationship in the first place if he knows that. Does he even consider what I would feel?!

The most frustrating part was, he was grinning while scratching the back of his head the night he broke up with me. Acting like our relationship was a game in the first place. Nothing serious, as if there's no feeling at all. Well, maybe there's nothing on his side, but there's definitely a lot on my side.

I am in love with him... And I am still after one year.

"Hey!"

I turn around to face the owner of the voice, just in time to see Albus's beaming face as he runs towards me. I smile at him the moment he stops right in front of me before we walk alongside each other towards Gryffindor's tower.

"Uhh... I saw... I don't..." I playfully roll my eyes at Albus' antics, before playfully ruffling his hair.

"You don't need to worry about me. I know about your cousin's new girlfriend."

Albus let out a defeated sigh and scratch the back of his head.

"I never actually understand what goes through Fred's mind most of the time. I was sure he was really happy being with you, but then he ends things between you two. I can't keep up with him."

Shaking my head, I once again playfully ruffle his hair, which he only smiles too. Albus is the sweetest guy I've ever know. Well, aside from my father, of course. But I can't think of any guy that is sweeter than Albus, and that's what frustrates me more. I could have fallen for him, but my stupid heart chose Fred Weasley II, and what did I get from it? I end up broken-hearted. What a cliche!

So, back to the topic. Yes! The incarnation of Asshole, Fred, got himself a new girlfriend. What happened with the part where he's not ready for it? Is he now, after one year? I don't get what one year did to change his mind.

"Hey!"

A fake smile quickly finds it's way on my lips at the greeting I received the moment Albus and I got inside the Gryffindor's common room.

"Hello, Fred."

Can I fucking slap that grin off his face with the book I am holding? Where does he get such confidence?! We've never even talked the whole time last year, and he's in front of me now. Talking to me like nothing happened at all.

I was sure he was about to speak again, but Albus might've noticed the way I clench my jaw and step between the two of us.

"Sorry, Fred. I need her now. You guys should speak later." Without waiting for a response, Albus grab my hand and drag me up towards the boy's dormitory. I was thinking of pointing it out to him, but Albus seems so preoccupied at the moment, I was so sure he won't even hear me at all.

He drags me into their room and slams the door shut behind us. When I was sure he's finally calm, I cross my arms across my chest and fake a cough to grab his attention, which I was successful too.

"Now that we're finally here, whatever the reason is, what do you want us to do now?"

Albus look at me for a moment, then back to the door, then to me again. Then his eyes snapped wide open as if he just saw a ghost, which actually was a normal thing at Hogwarts. I can't help a small chuckle from slipping off my lips when I look at his flustered face, realizing just how sudden his move was.

"D-Did all of that happened?" Albus look at me again, then bite his lower lip as if he was guilty of doing something really bad.

Finding it cute, and hilarious at the same time, I walk towards him and playfully mess his hair like I used to do.

"You did nothing wrong, Severus. I'm thankful for it." Albus pout at the sound of his second name, but then grin when I thanked him.

"But... What are we going to do now? We can't just walk back there as if I didn't make a scene at all."

"Well, we're staying here no matter what. I won't go back there and watch that stupid ass of a cousin of yours, flirt with his new girlfriend. It's gross."

Albus prick my forehead, which I scowled into, before rubbing it.

"It's gross because it's not you, he was doing it with. Do you remember when you both won't let go of each other's lips even when everyone is watching? Isn't that gross?"

This time, I smack the back of his head and let out a huff, before slumping down on the bed behind me, not even caring about whoever was sleeping on it at night.

"You're heartless. You don't need to tell me that."

Albus practically rolls his eyes at me, before sitting on another bed, which I was sure was his, because lying on the foot of it was the very own luggage I gave him before our first day at Hogwarts.

"I'm not telling you to believe me or anything when I say this, but I don't think that Fred is over with you."

I didn't intend to, but when those words left Albus's lips, I burst out into a fit of laughter. I was laughing so hard to the point that my eyes even let out a few tears.

Albus look at me completely puzzled. Not getting what's the reason behind my laugh.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, but seriously, Albus? How can you not call that being over me? Fred got himself a new girlfriend. If your mind is running through the idea of Fred getting himself a girlfriend just to make me jealous, please stop it now. There's no point for him to do that. He was the one who broke up with me."

Albus let out a defeated sigh, and look straight at me.

"Like what I said, I'm not telling you to believe me."

The grin faded from my lips when I notice the serious gaze he was giving me. I frown at his action because I felt like he was hiding something from me, which Albus never and will ever do. We're best friends, and we never hide secrets from each other.

"Albus... What's going on? Is there something you're not telling me?"

Albus look at me, before looking down. As if he suddenly got a whole load of interest on the floor.

"Albus. You know how much I hate when people keep things from me, right? I don't like it, because it makes me feel stupid. So, whatever it is that you're hiding from me, you better spill it out. Now!"

I know I am acting like a wholesome demanding bitch, but I hate it when people do keep things from me. Especially, when it has a direct connection to me.

Albus, once again, let out a defeated sigh, before finally looking straight at my eyes...

"Fred never really wanted to break up with you."

If I was drinking something, I already would've to spit it out on his face.

"What are you talking about? Never really wanted to? It's been one damned year! How is that not wanted to?"

"Fred wanted to pro-"

"Okay! Enough with fooling around!"

Both my head and Albus', turn to look at the door of the room when it was flung open. So hard, it even hit the wall. Revealing a fuming Fred Weasley II. It took him a minute or less to realize what was going on. He looks between me and Albus, before frowning.

Albus looked at him disappointedly, standing up from his bed, just to smack his cousin hard on the back of his head.

"Did you just really think that I will do such lewd things with her? She's my best friend, you idiot!"

Fred quickly looks at me, which I answered with a scowl. Did he just think of such a thing, just like what Albus was saying?

"You know what?! I'm done! I'm done with the shits of you two! I'm out!"

Albus walks past Fred, then out of the room, shutting the door after him. Fred quickly looks at me, and I just stare back at him.

"What is it?" I cautiously asked, finally aware of the fact that I was alone with him in the boy's dormitory.

"Did... Is there... Did nothing really happened-"

"I didn't have sex with your cousin, Weasley. If that's what you're wondering about. And just to make things clear, it's nothing to you if we did."

"Of course, it is!"

I let out a scoff upon his words. Pushing myself up from the bed, I walk towards him and stop right in front of him. Craning my neck a bit to look up at him, because he really got taller since last year.

"You're not my boyfriend anymore, Weasley. Don't act like one."

I was about to walk past him, but his warm hand grabbed my wrist and pull me into his chest. Caging me into his body with his free arm, snaking it around my waist and keeping me still.

"Then be mine again."

I wanted to slap him hard, but I somehow can't find the strength to. I was deeply intoxicated by his blue eyes.

"You're asking for something ridiculous, Weasley. You already have a girlfriend. I'm out of the picture since last year."

Fred's grip on my wrist and hold on my waist tightened after hearing my words. It was as if, he hated the very idea with all his might.

"Who told you that? Who told you that you're already out of the picture? You weren't, and will never be out of the picture!"

I slap him hard on the face with my free hand, enough to fling his face on the side. I was seething with anger, so hard to the point that I feel like I could throw him out anytime. What does he take me for? A freaking toy he doesn't want to be own by anyone, even though he already discarded me?! Unbelievable!

"You know what, Fred? I thought you're just stupid for breaking up with me just because you haven't had enough of your fun, but I never thought that you could be this cruel! I was never out of the picture? Breaking up with me was the main reason I was kicked out of it! Are you that so high with your fun, that even our relationship was a game to you?!"

"No! You don't understand!"

"Then tell me! Tell me what is it that I don't get! Because Fred, I'm already breaking down. Can't you see it?" Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I look at him, finally out of his grasps. My fists clenched tightly on my sides, as I stare at him. Looking straight at his eyes, that was filled with pain I've never noticed before even when he broke up with me.

"I never wanted to broke up with you, Love. I never will. It was Mom... She... She found the ring I bought and asked me about it, and I told her that I wanted to ask you to marry me. She stopped me. She said we were too young for that, and ordered me to think about a lot of things. She... She gave me things that I wouldn't be able to do anymore if I'm a married man, but that didn't change my mind."

A scoff unintentionally left my lips, earning his attention. I folded my arms across my chest, and stare at him.

"Let me guess... She told you to break up with me and you listened?" Fred didn't say anything, and that confirms my thought. Another scoff slips past my lips, this time it was followed by my movement as I try to walk past him. Once again, he had caught my wrist.

"Listened to me first, Love."

"Stop calling me that! Fred... Why didn't you tell me about it?! You could've told me, and we will figure it out just like what we always do. But you didn't, and you left me suffering alone from the pain!"

"You think I wasn't suffering?! I'm dying inside too! I wanted to kiss you, to hug you, to touch you, to talk to you, but I can't! I was left watching you from afar!" I pull my hand away from him and point at him accusingly.

"Don't blame me for that! It was you who broke up with me! Not me, to you!"

"That's why I was telling you that I never wanted it in the first place!"

"You still did it!"

"Because I don't want your father to take you away from me!" That's what all it takes to shut me up.

Fred wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into his body. This time, there's no rush. The feeling of anger finally out of his muscles as I feel them relaxed under the skin of my palm. I felt Fred kissed the side of my head, as I wrap my arms around his body, burying my face on his robe. Not caring even if I wet it with my tears.

"Mom... Mom called your father and told him everything after I told her that I still want to ask you to marry me. Your father got mad, knowing that you'll approve of it. He told me that he knows you so much and that he knows that I am your weakness. That, if I ask you, you will give in. So he challenged me. He told me to break up with you, and if after a year, you still love me, he'll let us on our own. He won't stand between us even if we choose to get married. But if I didn't listen to him, he won't let me near to you anymore. I... I didn't tell you anything because I don't want you to hate your father."

I fist on his robe when I felt his fingers making soothing circles behind my back when I started letting out small hiccups from crying.

"Is that why you approach me when I enter the common room?"

I felt Fred nodding on my shoulder, as he caresses my hair while pecking soft kisses on the side of my head.

"I've done my waiting, Love. I want you back, no matter what. I'm sorry for everything. I didn't mean to be a jerk, okay?! Can we go back to each other?"

I softly lean back to see his face and almost laugh when I saw how ridiculous he looks when crying. He looks like a one-year-old baby who loses candy.

"What about your girlfriend?" I asked, caressing his cheek with my thumb.

"Girlfriend?" he asked, his brows furrowing as he processes what I was saying. "Wait! Did you think that Melinda was my girlfriend? She likes Albus! She was asking me a few pieces of advice about how she could, you know, grab his attention."

My lips were purse together, as Fred stares right back at my eyes, before letting out an amused laugh.

"You really thought that, Love?! I mean, I'm overly obsessed with my love for you, how could I?" I roll my eyes at him, before wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling his head to mine. Leaning closer as his face inches forward, before closing my eyes as our lips met.

I felt how Fred stiffened at my action but immediately relaxed, his arms around my waist shifting to cup my face as he kisses back. We last for a few minutes, just kissing and hugging each other. Only parting to take a breath before kissing again.

"I missed you, Love." He said, leaning his forehead on mine, as he stares right into my eyes that are full of adoration, his arms wrap securely around my waist.

"Me too, Baby. So much." I peck a kiss and both of us let out a few chuckles before Fred made a gesture of slipping his hand into his robe. He pulls out a black velvet box, opening it to reveal a silver ring, with a small beautiful emerald gem in the middle.

"Let's get married. This time, no more breakups." I chuckle at his words, pinching his cheeks before lending my right hand.

I watch a large grin find its way on his lips, as he eagerly takes the ring and carefully wears it on my right-hand ring finger. He kisses the back of my hand, before pulling me into another tight hug.

"You do realize we're only in our seventh year in Hogwarts, and we're only seventeen, right?" I playfully asked, watching Fred's face for any hilarious reaction, but he just brushes the idea aside as if it was nothing trivial.

"Who cares about age and year? We're in love, My Love! That's all it matters."

Another laugh slips past my lips at the thought of Angeline, George, and Dad, finding out about our decisions. They will certainly freak out.

"Well, as long as there'll be no babies for now," I stated, pointing a finger at him before prickling his forehead with it.

"What?!" he exclaimed with wide eyes, sounding really disappointed and in disbelief. "But I was planning to make a lot tonight. You know, make the honeymoon in advance."

I quickly shake my head, along with a playful grin on my lips.

"Not tonight, Weasley." I playfully said, before running past him, and out of the room.

I was already in the common room when I heard his shouts after me. Followed by our laughs, as Fred run after me.
