You walked through the halls holding hand with your boyfriend, Draco. Everyone in the school was aware of your relationship and as it was surely unheard of that Draco would take interest in someone not pure blood, let alone dating someone of a different blood status.

Draco had been staring at you and finally asked you out, but what you didn't know was there was far more to the story than you were told.

What really happened was Draco was playing truth or dare with some Slytherins, and Crabbe dared him to ask you out, but he didn't set a time for the 'relationship' to end.

So here you were, walking around thinking he actually liked you when in fact, he was just dared to do it.

"Hey Malfoy!" Goyle cheered from down the hall, walking over to you guys. You sighed as him and Draco knuckle bumped.

"I see you didn't end the bet yet." Draco's eyes widened.

Bet? What bet?

"Not yet, and now's not a good time either." Draco muttered before pushing Goyle away.

"What is he talking about Dray?" You asked gently and he shook his head.

"Just some bet we placed." You started to worry, trying to think of what the bet could be.

"Hey Dray." Pansy smirked as she walked towards him, moving her hips a little more in her walk. Draco groaned and you knew something was up. You let go of his hand.

"Draco tell me what's going on here?"

"We held a party, and dared Draco to ask you out. Happy now? You're nothing more than a stupid little bet. Surely Draco would be insane to go out with someone like you." Pansy smirked as she got closer, knocking you to the ground before she took Draco's hand and started to run with him. You sat there shocked, grabbing your things before heading to the room of requirement, where you knew Dumbledore's army was.

You walked in and stood in the corner as you watched everyone practice spells on each other and on robots that resembled death eaters.

"Hey y/n." Hermione cheered as everyone stopped for a break and went in different directions.

She ran towards you, once she saw your sad expression she pulled you into a hug, where you cried into her shoulder and she rubbed your back. You dropped your bag on the floor as she guided you down to the other side of the room where there are seats placed in rows.

"Why don't you tell me what's going on?" She said quietly, as your cries grew quiet, you pulled away from her as she wiped your tears away.

"It was all a bet, a stupid bet." You shook your head and looked down.

You loved Draco, you had a big crush on him, and when he asked you out you thought it was real and that he liked you back, now your heart hurt because you were treated poorly but also having to get over a crush you've had for years hurt worse than you would think.

Soon the twins walked over, Fred sitting on your other side while George crouched down in front of you on the floor. Fred, George and Hermione were your three best friends, the ones who you could tell anything to and they never judged you.

"It hurts now, but it'll get easier, y/n." Fred said as he pulled you into a hug, his hug felt so similar to Draco's which caused you to cry once more into his neck, he sighed and leaned his head onto yours as he rubbed your back, humming a tune to calm you down.

"A fool like Malfoy doesn't deserve your precious tears." Soon you found yourself in his lap as your arms were around his neck, what you didn't know was all the other students cleared out, leaving you, Fred, George and Hermione sitting down still in the empty room.

"Look why don't we go back to the common room and you could tell us more of what happened?" George asked and you nodded into Fred's neck. The two stood up, Hermione grabbing your bag as Fred carried you bridal style, your head laying on his chest now as your tears had stopped falling, the sight of you so heartbroken hurt your best friends, especially Fred and George as they always saw you as a second sister and you always saw them as brothers that you never had.

Once you four got into the common room, Hermione shooed the students to the dorms, Fred laid you down on the couch, causing you to sit up on your own as Hermione moved hair from your wet face, George took a seat next to you and Fred leaned against the arm rest of the couch.

"Why don't you tell us?" Hermione rubbed your shoulder.

"You guys know I liked him for at least a year, and when he finally asked me, I thought it was because he liked me. But it turns out it was a bet, he was dared to ask me out. I thought he loved me, Mione, but no. Now he's probably snogging Pansy. She told me he would've been an idiot if he really did like me." You shook your head, staring at the fire.

"Any guy would be lucky to have you y/n. Surely Malfoy is just an idiot and doesn't deserve someone as amazing as you. No real man should ever treat a girl like that." Fred spoke up as George nodded along.

"Thanks Fred, how could I have been so stupid to think he would like me back?" The twins stayed silent, but you could tell their hearts ached to see you like this.

Hermione left the room, surely to go hex Draco to hell. You laid yourself down on the couch, putting a pillow under your head as you stared straight ahead, as tears blurred your vision as you buried your face into the pillow, sobbing hard into it. As the twins sighed, one taking a spot between you and the back of the sofa, while the other sat on the floor and rubbed your back.

"We know it hurts love, but you can't keep crying about this, okay?" George moved hair that had fallen in your face. You nodded from inside the pillow as your eyes closed from exhaustion.

George carefully moved the pillow from under your face and carefully lifted your shoulders up, so Fred could slide beneath you, as he laid on his back, you had your legs between his and you laid on his chest, as his arms wrapped protectively around your sleeping figure, he wiped away stray tears that had fallen.

George laid himself on the floor before grabbing a red blanket to put over his twin and the girl he always looked after. They each placed a kiss to your head, in hopes that maybe it'll make you feel better, even if you were already in a deep sleep.

"What are we gonna do with you y/n?" Fred asked quietly as he crossed his arms over your side, before going to sleep himself.

When Hermione got back to the room she was shocked to see you two cuddling on the couch, surely you've cuddled with the twins before, that was nothing new but the way Fred was wrapped around you made you look a lot like a couple.

"When is he going to admit it?" She asked George who stayed awake, admiring them.

"I don't know, but right now let's just let them sleep." He smiled at the sight and Hermione nodded.


A/N: wow this is a different direction than what I had envisioned haha, I always think of the twins being like the ideal big brothers just because they can make anyone smile, and I'm sorry if you aren't a big fan of the twins, but I hope you still found this cute :) be sure to vote!
