Y/n's pov:
After everything that happened in the great hall, I didn't have an appetite anymore so I didn't go to lunch. After noticing I wasn't there, Angelina came up and gave me some food, apologising for what happened
I told her it isn't her fault and that it's fine. She told me that George had actually asked her out and she didn't know what came over Fred to ask her
"Do you want me to stay here with you?" She asks softly
"It's okay Ange, you can go back" I say in a croaky voice, pulling the covers over me and falling into a deep sleep.
---------------------------
I wake up from a long needed nap and see it's dark outside. I look at the clock that hung on the wall, reading 5:45pm, realising the DA session starts in 15 minutes
I get up to fix my hair and look into the mirror, seeing tear stains on my checks and my puffy eyes
I get some cold water and splash my face as Katie, Alicia and Angelina walk in.
Katie comes towards me and gives me a much needed hug, Angelina and Alicia soon joining in. We pull apart as Angelina reminds us of the DA session. I put on some fresh clothes and wait for the girls before leaving our dorm and heading towards the room of requirements.
I enter and immediately make eye contact with Fred. I look away, telling myself not to cry as I walk over to Hermione and Ron as Angelina, Alicia and Katie go over to the twins.
"Hey y/n, how are you feeling after everything that happened?" Ron asks sympathetically as Hermione stands next to me
"I feel fine Ron" I say while looking down
"Don't worry y/n, my brothers a prat" He says which makes me chuckle a bit
Harry begins the lesson, informing everyone that we'll be learning about a patronus charm, which requires a strong memory in order to work
Everyone moves off, I go with Katie and the girls as we take turns practising the charm.
I think of the happiest memory I could think off when I think of the first time I met the twins on the Hogwarts Express and a light of blue shoots out from my wand and out comes a golden retriever, running around me before chasing a magpie, I look to see who's patronus that is when I meet Freds eyes
A magpie.
Freds patronus is a magpie.
He maintains eye contact when the chandelier in the room tinkles
Everyones patronus disappears from the air and booms could be heard from outside the walls. I slowly move towards the girls, intrigued to know what's going on when Harry and a second year boy named Nigel move to where the commotion is the most loudest
It's quiet when all of a sudden a loud boom is heard, creating a hole in the wall of the room.
After all the debris clears, Umbridge stands there with Filch and a few slytherin students
"Get them!" Umbridge shouts as the slytherin students grab onto everyone in the DA
---------------------------
Everyone in the DA are currently in detention with Umbridge in the great hall, writing lines with the most infamous blood quill.
The searing pain on my lower arm increases as I continue to write.
Half an hour later, the detention is finished and everyone leaves to go to their common rooms. Tears start to cloud my vision as the pain continues to hurt
I make it to the common room with Katie by my side when she notices my tears. Experiencing the same pain too, she pulls me into a hug being careful of my arm.
I make eye contact with Fred as the look of pain is clouded in his eyes. I give him a small smile before pulling away from the hug and heading to my common room and falling asleep
---------------------------
Fred's pov:
I make eye contact with y/n as she hugs Katie, with tear stains on her cheeks, most likely from the pain of the blood quill.
We haven't spoken in a bit, and I'm starting to miss her presence. She gives me a small smile and pulls away from Katie's hug, heading up to her dorm
I go up to Katie, "How is she?" I ask her
"Fred, she's not doing the best but just know that Lee didn't ask her to the ball, he asked her for help to ask me" She says putting a hand on my shoulder
"What?" I ask her feeling surprised
"Yeah when Lee asked me, he told me that he had asked y/n to help him, you probably just heard the wrong thing" She says making me feel like a complete idiot
"Oh merlin I feel like a complete idiot" I say running a hand down my face
"You know there's always time to ask her, Angelina got asked by George so y/n is free but be quick, someone might steal her before you do" She says as she walks to her dorm
'I have to make this up to her but how do I do it?' I think to myself as I walk into my dorm, seeing George and Lee knocked out, me falling asleep not long after.

Y/n's pov:
I wake up and take a look at my wound from last night, then I remember I had a cream that my dad sent me when he had heard about Umbridges torturing ways, he also sent one to harry when he heard what that oaf did to him.
I take out the cream and apply some to the wound, offering some to the girls who kindly accept it.
It's quite early on a Sunday morning and the girls have decided to finish up some homework that they forgot to do.
I head down to the common room to see Fred sitting on the couch, itching at his scar.
I walk back to my dorm and grab the cream, walking back down and tapping Fred's shoulder. He turns around to see me holding the cream, "My dad gave it to me for things like this, it helps with the pain" I say as I sit next to him and pull up his sleeve.
I put some in my finger and rub it over the wound before cleaning my finger with a tissue and putting the cream into my pocket
"Thanks y/n" He says gratefully
"No problem" I say as I get up and walk towards the door of the common room
"Wait y/n can we talk for a second" He says, with a pleading look in his eyes
I nod and go back to my spot next to him
"Look I'm sorry for what happened yesterday in the great hall, I got the wrong idea thinking Lee was asking you to the ball and I thought that you agreed. But last night after you went to your dorm, Katie told me everything and I felt really bad and I just wanted to apologise but I understand if you don't wanna talk to me anym-"
I cut him off by hugging him, sending him into a bit of shock before he wraps his arms around me returning the hug,
"It's okay Freddie, I get why'd you think that" I say muffled, still in his embrace whilst the scent of cinnamon fills my nose
"So are we friends again?" He asks while pulling away from the hug
"Yes Freddie we're friends again, even though I don't recall calling our friendship off before this" I say smiling up at him as I hear clapping from behind us
I turn around to see George, Lee, the golden trio and the girls clapping behind us
"Finally you guys made up, now come on let's go eat" Ron says while pulling Harry and Hermione with him, Hermione rolling her eyes as she gets pulled out
Everyone soon follows with the twins and Lee in front of us. I get an idea and run towards Fred, jumping onto his back
He gets startled but calms down when he realises it's me. He hooks his hands under my thighs and I wrap my arms around his neck.
Fred suddenly runs forward towards the great hall with me on his back, leaving everyone who starts laughing behind us. We make it to the great hall, and he walks to where Ron, Harry and Hermione are.
Fred gently puts me down and sits next to Ron. I look to my left where the professors are and make eye contact with Madam Pomfrey who winks at me before turning back to her conversation with Professor Mcgonagall
I smile back at her before sitting down, glad that Fred and I are on talking terms
