You and Fred Weasley (A Fred Weasley x Reader) COMPLETED

Chapter 26: The Educational Decrees

"Over the git's promotion to Junior Assistant to Fudge," George continued.

"He couldn't get it through his thick skull that Fudge's using him to spy on Dumbledore," Fred said, followed by a scoff.

"Broke off all ties with the family," George finished.

I shook my head in dissapointment, looking back at the picture, "Pity."

We reached the Courtyard and I set the article into a bag my grandmother had placed an Undetectable Extension Charm on, before her passing over the summer. I turned back to the twins, rubbing my hands together while saying, "What've we got today?"

Fred winked at me before throwing me a tiny spark, "That."

It took me by surprise but I still caught it. I giggled a bit before passing it to George. People began crowding around us, watching us throw the spark.

As I passed it back to Fred he began to show off, making the spark roll down his arm before throwing it to George. He did the same but passing it behind his back to me, starting a competition.

I repeated both of their actions, adding in a toss above my head, catching it, and then passing it to Fred. He then threw it into the air, causing people to begin to cheer.

George prepared to catch the spark as it was ripped from it's place in the air, and brought to the side. I followed the spark's movements to see it fly into Umbridge's wand. She smiled innocently before turning around and walking away.

I sighed as the twins groaned, we were annoyed and decided to pack up. That hag is going to ruin any chance of fun this year.

We were once again standing in the halls as Filch began to climb his ladder. I watched him hammer the new plaques into the wall, waiting patiently to see the new "Educational Decrees."

Once he began climbing off the ladder the plaques were visible, "NO MUSIC IS TO BE PLAYED DURING STUDY HOURS."

"ALL WEASLEY PRODUCTS WILL BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY," I read in my head as Filch picked up the ladder.

"PROPER DRESS & DECORUM IS TO BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES," the last plaque read.

Just as I finished reading the last plaque I was pulled roughly, towards Fred. Since the movement was so sudden I didn't have time to prepare myself, causing my hand to go right onto his chest.

Fred then pulled me down as he ducked the ladder Filch had nearly hit us and other students in the head with. I looked up into his eyes, my stomach filling up with butterflies. Even though we're dating it still makes me nervous being this close to him.

He stood up for a moment before pulling himself and I back down as Filch, once again, nearly hit us in the head with the ladder. Filch walked on and I realized I was still staring at Fred when he chuckled, "Stare all you want, love. I know I'm beautiful."

I chuckled before pushing on his chest, getting me out of his grip. Fred smirked saying, "You know you love me."

I shrugged with a smirk, "Just a bit."

~Time Skip~

I heard a large amount of people making all kinds of commotion so out of curiosity I followed the noise. It led to a bunch of students, from all of the houses, walking into the Courtyard. I looked for anyone I knew, eventually seeing Seamus, "Hey, Seamus!"

Seamus turned around at the sound of his name and smiled, "Hey, Y/n!"

I smiled back before asking, "What's going on?"

He looked uncomfortable before saying, in his thick Irish accent, "It's Professor Trelawney, she's gettin' sacked."

I never necessarily liked Trelawney but I never wanted her sacked. Seamus and I exchanged concerned looks before finishing the walk to the Courtyard together.

We watched as Filch brought her last suitcase to her, as she sat down on her biggest trunk. On all sides of the Courtyard there were massive groups of students. One side parted as Umbridge walked between them and towards Trelawney.

Seamus and I walked faster to where we saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione standing. Trelawney walked closer to Umbridge holding a bag of her belongings, "Sixteen years I've lived and taught here. Hogwarts is my home. You can't do this."

Umbridge held up a piece of parchment saying, "Actually, I can."

My heart ached for Trelawney as she began to sob. Professor McGonagall immediately started to run up to her, comforting her. "Something you'd like to say?" Umbridge asked with a smile.

"Oh there are several things I would like to say, " McGonagall replied, still holding onto Trelawney.

Before the argument could go any further the door leading into Hogwarts opened by itself and Dumbledore entered the Courtyard. Quickly walking towards the professors he said, "Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside?"

I smiled a bit as Trelawney started to smile through her tears, being guided to Dumbledore while McGonagall said, "Sybil, dear. This way."

Trelawney held onto Dumbledore's hands, grateful, "Thank you!"

They continued to walk as Umbridge spoke up, "Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree Number 23, as enacted by the minister-"

Dumbledore interrupted her to say, "You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds. That power remains with the headmaster."

"For now," Umbridge said.

The two stared at each other for a few moments before Dumbledore turned around and walked back towards the entrance, "Don't you all have studying to do?"

Immediately after that the students began to move back inside, but I watched as Harry called out for Dumbledore, "Professor!"

I looked at Seamus and he shrugged before saying, "See you later, Y/n."

"Bye, Seamus," I said walking towards the school, shortly after Seamus.

I watched as Harry was stuck in a crowd shouting multiple times, "Professor? Professor Dumbledore!"

As I reached the inside of the school Harry was standing in the middle of the room, staring at the stairs. I sighed before walking up to him, putting my hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

He turned to me before saying, "Thanks, Y/n."

I gave him a sympathetic smile before saying, "I'm always here, Harry."

Harry tried to force a smile while nodding, "See you later."

"Bye," I mumbled, watching him walk up the stairs.

I then heard a voice behind me, "Hey, Y/n."

I turned around to see my favorite set of twins, "Hey, boys."

"Want to help us with our products?" George asked as they walked towards me.

"I thought they were banned?" I asked.

Fred smirked, tilting his head slightly, "When has a rule ever stopped us before?"

I smiled, "Of course I want to help."
