Semper - Fred Weasley

It was 4 am when my alarm went off. I looked over to Ginny and saw her still asleep. I chuckled lightly to myself, as she was as much a heavy sleeper as her brothers were. When I made my way to the bathroom I already heard Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen and soon after I smelt her amazing breakfast.

I took a quick hot shower and after the steam was gone, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I pulled a few faces, not exactly a fan of my facial features I reminded myself that I look like my mom and aunt and that they were beautiful. I put on light blue high ankle mom jeans and an ochre turtleneck which I tucked in. With my hair tied into a high ponytail I finished my look with a little bit of mascara.

As I stepped out of the bathroom I bumped into someone.

„'Mione! When did you arrive? It's so good to see you!", I smiled at the curly haired girl in front of me.

„Oh my god, I missed you so much, Penny. I got here half an hour ago. I just tried to wake up the boys. Speaking of them, do you mind waking up Fred and George?", she returned my smile.

„I would love to do that." I clapped my hands excitedly and Hermione looked at me knowingly before she went downstairs to help Mrs.Weasley prepare the breakfast.

I used to have the biggest crush on Fred and it was no secret. But since there were rumors about him having a crush on Angelina I tried to move on. Besides Hermione, the twins are my best friends. They behave like big brothers and were always very protective of me.

I got to their room and knocked three times before I got in. Both of them we're sound asleep. Soft snoring filled the room. Clothes were scattered all over the floor. George was lying on his back, hands folded over his chest, neatly tucked in his blanket. I smiled at him.

But the moment I laid eyes on Fred my heart skipped a beat. He's lying on his stomach, one arm under his face and the other hanging off the bed. His hair completely disheveled and hanging over his eyes. Shirtless and only in his briefs. The blanket barely covering him. My eyes lingered a moment longer on his toned back. How badly I want to touch him, trace my hands down his spine. Stop, get your shit together, Penelope. I took a deep breath and jumped on George's bed.

„Get up, get up, get up!", I screamed and jumped on him. He startled and jumped out of his bed and in the process he accidentally pushed me. I landed flat on Fred chest, who was awake by now and had turned on his back. He put his arms around my waist to protect me from falling from his bed and grinned at me. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks and avoided eye contact.

„Well, what a nice view to wake up to.", he cheekily grinned and I nearly lost it over his deep morning voice. „You definitely should do that more often.", he let go of me and I tried to stand up but failed miserably and landed on my bum with a loud thud. Great, Penelope.

„Ouch, Peppy, you okay down there?", he leaned over the edge of his bed and looked down at me laughing.

„I'm fine.", I mumbled while I got up with the help of George while Fred was still laughing.

„Brilliant. Now hurry up, you two need to get ready.", with this I hurried out of their room.

Could this have been even more embarrassing?

I joined Hermione and Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen and helped them set the table. All of the remaining Weasley's and Harry were up by now. The twins had an argument with their mother about their inventions and how they're not putting enough effort into school. So when it was time to leave, the mood was a bit down.

Mr. Weasley kissed his wife goodbye and then we made our way to the portkey. Mr. Weasley was leading the group, Harry and Hermione went after him, then it was the twins and me and Ron was a bit behind.
