"Who else? I'm a, what's the muggle word? Casanova!" He exclaims with a proud smile.

"Lee- the way to Alicia is through a grand romantic gesture!"

Fred throws his head in his hands and I groan loudly.

"You really think that'll work?" Lee asks with a frown.

"Trust me"- George throws a hand on Lee's back "A few roses, a poem, and she'll be putty in your hands."

Lee puts rests his head on his hands and begins contemplating. "I don't know how to write a poem"-

"I'll help! Trust me, Lee, Alicia won't know what hit her!" George says, making Fred and I slouch further in our seats.

"Why does George think he's a lady expert now?" I ask Fred.

"He accidentally read some romance article in the paper from "Witches Headlined" trying to put that picture of a girl kissing Percy in the paper."

"Percy's life must be hell."

"Well it's about time he joined the club."

I laugh causing Fred to smile and George to look at me confused.

"What're you two idiots talking about?"

"How terrible your plan is." Fred replied.

"Oh? And I bet you could do better huh?"

"I never said"-

"Yeah, Fred." I joined in with a smirk. "Let's see you do better."

Fred gapes at me. "Who's side are you on, woman?"

"I side with no man."

"Go on, Fred. Wow us." Lee says.

Fred flushes and slumps in his seat causing us all to laugh.

"HEY- we shouldn't be thinking about girls at ALL. This is our year. We can think about girls after we mark ourselves in Hogwarts history as the people who made Filch cry." Fred exclaims, embarrassed.

George and Lee scoff. "He's just mad nobody likes him."

"Agreed. Fred is just sad he'll die alone." I agree.

Fred groans and puts his head in his hands.

"Ignoring that train wreck of a man in the corner- have you guys met Peeves?"

"God yes. He spilled my ink everywhere on the way to charms. Mcgonagall yelled at me." Lee whimpered.

"Well, I say we befriend the old man."

"What? Why?" I ask.

"Think about it (Y/N)! Think of the mischief, the wonders, the adrenaline rushes, the angry teachers! We would be unstoppable."

Fred perked up at "angry teachers".

"We could piss off Snape." He whispered.

He turns to me with bright eyes and the biggest smile he's ever worn and shakes me frantically. "WE COULD PISS OFF SNAPE (Y/N)! WE NEED TO DO IT."

I hold back a smile and pretend to be deep in thought.

"I don't know..."

"PLEASE!" Fred, George, and Lee yell with their hands clasped together as Lee attempts to give me puppy eyes.

"I'm gonna need something in return." I say.

"ANYTHING!" Lee yells.

"You have to let me get you all something from Zonko's." I say with a grin.

Fred flushes dark red at this as George's mouth is agape.

"...what?" George asks.

"You heard me." I say with a smirk.

"(Y/N).." Fred begins.

"No, no. You heard my conditions." I say, turning to him with a gentle smile.

He flushes even more under my gaze.

"You don't have to.. BUY us anything if you don't want to." George says.

"I want to. You don't need to feel bad about this, it's what I get in return for befriending Filch with you lot."

"Are you SURE?" George asks again with worry and a sincerity I've never seen before in his eyes.

"George, I'm as sure as Lee is smitten."

"HEY!" Lee pipes up making us chuckle.

George and Lee go back to discussing Alicia as Fred leans back in his seat.

"Hey (Y/N)."

"Yeah, Freddie?"

"Thank you."

I airily laugh and smile.

"Thank me by helping me pick out some oven mitts as a gift for Molly while we're there."

He grins at me.

"You're gonna need it- she's VERY particular about her oven mitts."

"YOU'RE TELLING ME!" We look away from each and turn to George. "Can you BELIEVE she grounded me for lighting them on fire ONE TIME."

"HOW DARE SHE!"

"SHUT IT LEE- YOU DON'T KNOW MY PAIN."

"I'm going to jump off this train." Fred mumbles as I laugh.

A/n: I feel like this chapter wasn't that good but I felt like I needed to update especially since I'm going to be a bit more busy with AP classes the next few weeks and it might take a little longer for me to update. Please let me know what you think or what you don't or do like about my writing. I'd love to improve my writing as much as I can for you guys. Thank you!
