Two Of A Kind - Fred And George Weasley

My Achilles Heel

Phoenix's POV

We tucked the trunks away in each corner of the room, Liv's by George's bed and mine by Fred's. The evening hadn't been as overwhelming as I thought it would be, Fred didn't bring up the fact I'd been avoiding him and what was going on, so I was a little less tense and it was easier to work in the comfortable silence.

By the time we had finished and gone back to my dorm, Liv and George were stood there waiting.

"How long have you been back?" I asked.

"We got in just a couple of seconds before you two," George replied.

"Everything go well?" Liv questioned with a wary eye-brow raise.

"Yep, everything you'll need is in our dorm," Fred answered.

"How about you, did you get the chrysalis?" 

"Yeah, we found one hanging in the trees by the greenhouses, took us a little while but we got it," George said.

"Let's do this then," I instructed.

George pulled a wrapped up chrysalis from his pocket as I retrieved the phial from one of my draws and handed it to him. I got my wand to the ready as I placed it over my heart and he put the chrysalis in, then I chanted the incantation,

"Amato Animo Animato Animagus."

George covered the phial with a cloth as he put it back in my drawer.

"Right, let's go," I said.

I followed everyone out of the room and locked the door behind me. 

"Fuck," I muttered under my breath as the realisation hit me, I'm going to have to share a bed with Fred for the next month. 

Obviously, I wasn't planning on avoiding him forever but I had no clue what to say, I'd told him to leave me alone earlier and now I'm impeding his space. We walked down the corridor to the twin's room as Liv and George bickered on the way there. I sat on the desk in their room as I caught onto their conversation.

"Pleaseeee, Georgie, just once," Liv begged him.

"What are you two bickering about now?" I asked as I spun around on the chair.

"Liv keeps asking me for a shower party," George sighed, and I laughed.

"Liv, he's your boyfriend, why not just say you want shower sex without the innuendos?" I chuckled.

"No! I don't want shower sex, I want a shower party!"Liv argued.

"Am I missing something? What the fuck is a shower party?" Fred giggled with me.

"She just wants to sit in the shower with our clothes on and listen to music," George explained.

Fred and I gave each other 'what the fuck' looks until I darted my eyes away quickly and looked at the floor when I realised that was the first time we'd made eye-contact since breakfast.

"Just do it, George, for the love of Merlin," I sighed.

"Fine, come on Liv, let's have a shower party," he said half-heartedly but the grin on his face told me he felt differently than he was letting on about the idea.

"Yay!" Liv giggled as he pulled her into the bathroom and shut the door behind them.

The tension in the room raised as they left, higher than it had been before as we had had something to focus on, now Fred and I were sitting in silence. I bit my lip and played with my fingernails as Fred cleared his throat and stared at the floor, clearly feeling the tension too. I felt my eyes droop as I sat there, my lack of sleep from last night and hitting me like a lorry. I yawned into my hand and dropped my head onto my knees, shutting my eyes to try and relieve some of my exhaustion.
