Crush
The food had always been one of the best things at Hogwarts. It was extraordinary, no question about it. Fred very much enjoyed the various options of delicacies he had. He was busy one morning stuffing down many pieces of buttered biscuits when the voice of his youngest and only sister drawled its way into his head.
"You pig."
Fred sneered at her words and nonetheless continued to eat.
"He's stressed," Lee joked as he slimed his way into the seat next to Fred. The redhead scowled at him and pushed him off the bench before stuffing more food into his mouth.
"He looks like you, Ron," Ginny said with a small chuckle. Hermione smirked but tried to hide her cruel smile behind her cup of pumpkin juice.
"He's eating like that because he embarrassed himself in front of his crush, Adeen Kalama," George teased as he somehow found his way to the other side of Fred. Ginny and Hermione both let out soft gasps while Ron simply looked confused.
"You have a crush?"
"You have a crush!"
Fred turned a very deep shade of red as his group of friends and siblings all gasped at the sudden knowledge.
"Oh, Freddie! You two would make such a lovely couple!" Ginny awed at her brother. Fred swatted her hands away in annoyance and wanted to clobber his twin for spilling his deepest, darkest secret.
"I do not have a crush," he hissed between the crumbs. George hummed and nodded.
"Ah yes, pardon me; man's is in love."
The group all began to glee in excitement, with Lee and Ron high-fiving.
"At least we know he won't die alone," Ginny said. George laughed and shook his head.
"There's still a slight chance. Ya'know Kalama is very close to Pretty-Boy Diggory," he said. The Gryffindors all fell silent and glanced over to the Slytherin table.
They saw Adeen Kalama sitting with her best friends Wendy Gilmera and Cedric Diggory. They all watched curiously as Adeen stopped Wendy from stabbing Cedric with a fork.
"Put it down, you crazy bat!" Adeen snapped as she yanked Wendy's arm. The brunette smacked Adeen's forehead without a second thought.
"He deserves it! Diggory has had a good stabbing coming for a while!"
"Don't test me, Winnipeg, or I'll turn your hair blue!"
"You bastard, my name is not WINNIPEG!"
Fred watched as the three friends struggled to be harmonious with each other. He watched as Adeen eventually lost grip of Wendy's arm and the Slytherin went in for the kill.
"Ah yes, murder bright and early in the morning," Lee joked as he turned away from Cedric's screaming.
"Adeen doesn't like Cedric that way, Freddie. You still got a chance if you don't screw up," Ginny said. Hermione nodded in support of the redhead but George butt in again.
