Serpentine ; Fred Weasley

Six

"I'm sorry about today."

Felix moved his fingers across my stomach. He was propped up on one elbow, looking at me while I laid on my back, staring at the ceiling.

I turned my head to look at him as he dragged his fingers along the edge of my trousers, looking at me for permission.

I shook my head.

"Not tonight." I said softly and he nodded, mumbling a quiet 'okay' before he removed his hand and leaned down to kiss me.

"How was your day?" He asked, instead moving his hand up to brush hair out of my face.

I shrugged.

"I impressed Snape." I said, causing Felix to chuckle.

"Did you?"

Humming, I smiled cheekily.

"My potion was perfect and I could tell he had wanted to insult it but was shocked at how good it was." I said. "It was fun making him speechless."

He laughed softly and leaned down to kiss me again but I turned my head to look at the time.

"I have to go." I said and sat up, getting off the bed.

"What?" Felix sat up. "I thought you were staying the night with me."

"I never said that." I breathed, grabbing my robes off the end of the bed, throwing them over my arm.

"Well... can't you?" He asked. "It's already past curfew. Can't you stay?"

"I can't, Felix. I—"

I looked at him and realised that if I said I had to meet Fred and George, he'd be upset with me and I had no energy to fight with him.

"I promised Martha to help her with something before we go to bed." I said. "She's probably waiting for me."

I leaned down to kiss him, smiling at him before kissing him a second time.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah." He breathed as I walked over to the door. "I love you!"

"Love you!" I called back, closing the door behind me.

I hurried through the Ravenclaw common room, leaving.

Felix was head boy and he had basically made sure that I wouldn't get in trouble with any prefects if I was caught out of bed.

I hurried my way through the castle, hoping to not run into any teachers. It would be bad if I was caught out after curfew on the second night back.

I pushed the doors open to the Serpentine corridor, my eyes landing on one twin, but not two.

At this moment I couldn't see which one it was as he was looking down into a box, his face hidden from me.

"There used to be two of you." I said, causing him to turn around and I got to see which twin it was.

Fred.

A smile spread on his face as he saw me approach.

"George got held up with something." He said. "So it's just you and I."

"Okay." I said. "So... you just want me to eat something and wait for me to get high?"

He chuckled and picked up the box from the floor before turning towards me again.

"Ever been high before?" He asked while leading the way down the corridor.

"Yes." I said, maybe a little too quickly, and he looked at me with a cocked eyebrow before opening the door to the charms classroom. "I mean... I've tried weed before... like once or twice."
