Late Night Escape
just a simple fred weasley blurb thats been sitting around for awhile, reader gets called "Ms" once but other than that no pronouns used, 0.7k
Tumblr media
It’s been another restless night. The stress of your O.W.L.s being only days away has kept your mind racing.
So now, instead of being in bed, you sat on the ledge of one of the windows in the third floor corridor. 
You needed a change of setting, and this was surprisingly more peaceful rather than the common room, where you could hear the snores of knocked out teenage boys from their dorms.
“What are you doing roaming the castle this late, Ms.Y/L/N?” A voice came from behind you, it sounded like a poor imitation of Professor Snapes.
You whipped your head around, only to be met with a tall, ginger haired boy slowly walking towards you, both hands behind his back, eyes narrowed and his soft lips pursed together. Giving you his best impression of the school's potions master.
“I should be asking you the same thing, Mr.Weasley.” You quirked.
“Business reasons. It’s classified, only known to me and George.” He made a motion of zipping his lips together, locking them, and then throwing away the invisible key. It earned an amused scoff and eye roll from you.
“Sounds serious.” You quipped. “I wonder if it has anything to do with your tricks, I've overheard the two of you planning to pull some new ones soon.” 
“I may or may not need to make a stop at Zonko's. There’s a possibility I could be running low on Stink Pellets.” He shrugged and looked to the side as he sat on the ledge next to you, only to look back at you with an intrigued look.
“You never answered my question. What’re you doing out of your dorm?” 
“I can’t sleep.” Your voice is quiet and you avoid his eyes, there’s a sudden sad demeanor to your tone.
Fred’s face softens in response, he can see your face clearer now, your features being lit by the moonlight pouring through the window.
“Well, would you like to come with me?” He tilted his head down, trying to look into your eyes.
“What?” Your eyes shot up to his.
“Would you like to come along with me to Zonkos?” He tapped his fingers along the stone edge you were both sitting on. 
“We could stop by Honeydukes first, maybe swipe a few cauldron cakes...” He sang, adding persuasion to his offer. He knew those were your favorite.
You didn’t respond. Only sighed, trying to figure out if you were willing enough to take the risk of sneaking out of the castle, especially this late.
"Come on! Breaking the rules for one night is no sin, right?" A mischievous smile lit up on his face.
“That’s easy for you to say, you break them everyday.” You nudged him with your foot.
“And you’re not already breaking a rule right now?” He cocked a brow at you. You sighed in defeat, he was right.
You weren’t supposed to wander around the grounds at this time, you shouldn’t even be up at this time. You should be in bed. Or at least be in your common room. However, this was better than lying awake or pacing around in the common room.
“Fine. But how could we possibly get there?” 
“We just take the secret passage.” 
“There’s a secret passage?” 
“Absolutely there is!” He sat up straight. “And I know all seven of them.” He said proudly. “Got them all mapped out up here.” He brought a finger up to point at his head.
You took a minute to think. 
“What if we get caught?”
“When have I ever gotten caught?” Fred scoffed, you cheekily smiled at him, knowing you couldn’t even count on your hands the amount of times you’ve seen him and his brother get dragged off by Flich. 
“Don't answer that.” He shot up from his spot, standing tall and excited.
“Well, are you going or not? Better make a decision soon.” Fred held out his hand, waiting for you to place yours in his as he looked around, making sure there was no sight of Flich roaming near.
“Fine, I guess I’ll come along.” Your voice trailed off as you slowly got off the ledge.
“Hurry up then!” He laughed, “We can’t get caught!” Fred shouted, yet his voice was still at the level of a whisper. 
He tried to sound stern, but the excitement in his voice overtook everything else.
“I can’t believe I’m doing this.” You chuckled and shook your head, happily grabbing onto his hand, letting him drag you along as you both sped towards the one-eyed witch statue. You shushed each other, trying to keep your feet and giggles quiet. You were right. This was much better than lying awake.

Tumblr media
The strong light of the sun peeked through the window. Your eyes fluttered open, the last thing you remembered was passing out in Fred’s arms. There was a pounding in your head and your entire body was sore as you took in your surroundings. The worst amount of pain came from your right arm. Which was wrapped from your hand to your elbow in bandages.
You looked around the room you were in, it definitely wasn’t a hospital room.
It was familiar but it wasn’t yours.
It was the twins.
And the throw blanket with a large “F” stitched into it told you whose bed you were in.
What the fuck were you doing in Fred Weasleys bed?
You groaned when you tried to sit up, pain and soreness shot through your entire body immediately, causing you to drop back down onto the bed. You laid there, weakly holding your torso in pain.
However, Freds bed was surprisingly comfortable, despite the amount of soreness you felt. The mattress sunk underneath you, the multiple pillows sat cool under your head nicely, and the blankets were soft. You hate to admit it, but it was cozy.
You had to get out of it eventually, and you couldn’t be seen here, in his bed.
You threw the sheets and blankets off your body, revealing your legs, scattered in small and large bruises, a few tiny scrapes and scratches made their cameos as well. You grimaced at the sight of it. It only gave you reminders of what happened last night, where you were last night. Bleeding and stuck in the dirt.
You really couldn't remember much, memories of last night turned foggy.
You pushed yourself up using your good arm, still wincing and whimpering at the small stings of pain. Your backpack sat on the floor, leaning against a wooden leg of Freds bed frame.
After successfully moving your feet to the floor, you shuffled them across the old wood, practically limping as you made it to the bathroom, not bothering to close the door as you looked in the mirror at your injuries from last night.
You looked ghastly.
There was gauze wrapped around your head, a very prominent bruise around your left eye, shades of purple painting your under eye. There was still some dried blood stuck in your hair, some stains of it on the side of your face.
You turned in the mirror, lifting up your shirt slightly to find one large bruise painting the left side of your ribcage.
You felt ghastly.
You tried to wiggle your fingers and roll around your hand with the bandages wrapped around it. It only ended up in you wincing at the feeling of a million little stabs going through your wrists.
“It’s broken.” A voice muttered from the side of you. You looked to the direction it came from, and there you saw Fred standing awkwardly, hands in the pockets of his jeans.
“Your hand. Arm. It’s broken.” He repeated, wincing at his own words.
“Really? How do you know?” You shot at him, slight sarcasm in your voice.
“Well, other than the fact of how you can’t move it without making a painful noise. I was there while my mum tried to fix you up.”
“Oh.” You said softly, focusing your attention back to your broken bone, trying to ignore that he stayed with you even after he got you back here.
“She couldn’t do much to it so she only used ferula on you. She was able to repair your bag too, there were a few small rips.”
You only nodded your head, hoping he would get the hint to leave so you could. You didn’t want him to see you limp back to the bedroom, you didn’t want him to see you in any form of vulnerability. Though with what happened the previous night, he somewhat already has.
“This might be bad timing but
” Fred held up something, you could see him in the corner of your eye, whatever he was holding was dangling and twinkling.
Shit.
“I reckon you said you had gotten rid of this?” His mouth curled into a sinister smile, you recognized it was that dumb necklace.
“Where’d you get that?” You limped over to him quickly. Getting a better look at the gem, you realized your body wasn’t the only thing of yours that was damaged in the events of last night. The moonstone was cracked.
“It was dangling out of your bag.” He shrugged. You attempted to snatch the jewelry out of his hand, he was quick and darted his hand back. “I just want to know why you brought it along?”
“I didn’t.” You lied. “It was probably just sitting in the bottom of my bag.” Another lie.
“Really? ‘Cause it was right on the top of all your things.” He tilted his head at you.
“Could you just give it back?” You tried to grab it again, you nearly lost your balance doing so, you held onto the doorway for support.
“Tell me why you brought it first.” He chuckled, finding your weak attempts to take it from him amusing.
“Give it back-” You made the mistake of letting go of the doorway completely when you tried to reach out for it again, you lost all balance and your body started heading for the floor.
You were stopped by a large arm wrapping around your waist, causing an extreme amount of pain due to the pressure against your bruised body, but preventing you from getting any more from the wooden floor. You cried out in pain as his arm hooked around you, bringing your back to his chest.
“Shit! Sorry! Did I hurt you? Are you alright?” Fred's voice was full of panic and his eyes widened in fear, worrying that he made your condition worse. Even though the pressure hurt on your body, it was kind of nice. The proximity was kind of nice, you felt almost safe for a second.
Then you had to remind yourself, this was Fred Weasley.
“I’m fine.” You grunted out, turning to face him. His arms still lingered on you, holding the sides of your shoulder. “Can you let go of me?” Fred ripped his hands away from you, muttering another apology.
You stumbled slightly and held onto the railing next to you for stability once you were free from his grasp.
“Here. I’ll let you have it back.” He held the necklace out in front of you. You hesitantly grabbed it from him, waiting for him to dart his hand away again, he didn’t.
The necklace sat tangled in the palm of your hand. You sighed and rubbed your thumb over the splits in the moonstone.
“Maybe my mum might be able to fix it. I can see if she will. She probably can if you want!” He babbled.
“No, no. It’s fine.” You were obviously upset, now Fred felt guilty.
There was a moment of silence, Fred looking at you, you looking at the damaged gem.
“My dad said he’d call your parents once you wake up, so I guess I’ll tell him.” He exited himself from the conversation, moving backwards towards the stairs.
“Yeah.” You nodded, letting him go. He turned and began to walk down.
“Hey.” You stopped him, he turned and looked at you, his brows raised in concern.
“Just because you got me out of there doesn’t mean we’re friends now..or that I don’t hate you anymore.”
“Noted.” Fred gave a tight lipped smile before making his way down the staircase.
You went home within the next hour. Your parents didn’t trust getting you home by apparating because of your condition. So Mr.Weasley let them use their car.
Your parents took you to a muggle hospital for some reason, to get a “proper cast” on.
They never really did trust mending spells for broken bones, especially after what happened to Harry Potter in his second year. No one really knew if Brackium Emendo was an actual spell anyways.
Whatever. The next day you were already getting an abundance of cards.
From Cedric, apologizing that he couldn’t help you and was carried away by the crowd. From Mr. and Mrs.Weasley. Even Ron, Harry, and Hermione sent one, but they were just simple “Get Well Soon!” cards from the store.
The only letter that stuck out to you was from the twins. Hidden inside another small gift box.
You unraveled the ribbon that held the box together, popping off the lid, a small folded piece of paper sat on top.
Bruise cream. Homemade by yours truly! It’ll get rid of those nasty marks! Not completely, but it’ll fade them!
Love, Gred & Forge.
P.S. It won’t turn you into a canary (hopefully).
You let out a breathy laugh at the message. Under the wrapping was a white tube, a piece of painters tape over it and bold letters written with a black marker saying: BRUISE CREAM
Another small piece of paper with instructions came along with it.
You inspected the tube, still not trusting it. They wouldn’t prank you while you were injured like this, right?
The only bad thing could happen is that it doesn’t work and messes your skin up.
You took the risk and squeezed a small amount out, you chose a smaller and less prominent bruise to rub the cream onto.
You did as the instructions said and waited about two minutes before wiping it off, as the instructions stated. And it worked. The bruise was completely gone, no evidence of it ever being there.
The cream worked on your bigger and dark bruises, it didn’t get rid of them entirely, but it made them faint and less noticeable.
The only problem was it didn’t get rid of the soreness from where the bruises were, and it sure as hell couldn’t fix broken bones.
You wished it would, you didn’t know how you would be able to use your quill with a giant cast covering most of your hand.
You’ll figure something out. All you have figured out is that you’ll have this damn thing on for the next six weeks. Great.
You thought about writing a letter back to the twins, thanking them. But you couldn’t write and you hated them, what they did was nice, but you still hated them.
Tumblr media
In the living room, the Daily Prophet sat on the small coffee table in front of the couch.
It was already reporting about the attack at the Quidditch World Cup. The Dark Mark in the sky. The muggle family you saw being tortured. Even some about how Harry was left behind and saw it too.
A heavy sigh of exhaustion left your body, you absolutely knew it would be all you'd hear when you went back to school.
And you were not ready for it.

Tumblr media
You folded your pajamas in a neat stack and shoved them in your bag. 
You’d spent the past hour packing for tomorrow's events. The Quidditch World Cup games had already started, but you didn’t care all that much. 
You tend to claim you're not a huge fan of quidditch, but there has been one or two times you’ve lost your voice from screaming and cheering during a school match.
Anyways, you stood up, taking a billionth look around your bedroom, making sure there was nothing you needed laying around. 
Preparing for a single night away from home should not be this stressful.
As your eyes traveled around the room, they stopped once they saw the necklace sitting on your dresser.
The moonstone necklace the twins gave you. It sat there, untouched. It’s stayed in that exact same spot since you tossed it out of your suitcase from when you got home for summer break. It’s been like that all summer. 
Until, your mum saw it and fixed it with some simple spell. 
Even though it was fixed and in perfect condition, you still hadn’t worn it, nor touched it.
You walked up to it slowly, moving at a pace that made it seem like you were expecting the damn thing to jump and attack you somehow.
Picking it up, you wondered if you should set it along with the outfit you already had laid out for tomorrow. Or if you should shove it in your bag. Or just keep it in its previous spot.
You set it back down, turning away from it and walking to your bed. Only for you to change your mind. Turning back towards it quickly, snatching it up and shoving it into your bag.
You laid in bed, eyes unable to stay closed, and a grin on your face.
Though you knew that in the next week you’ll most likely be stuck with crowds of people in Diagon Alley, gathering school supplies. You had the same excitement as a kid on Christmas Eve, too eager to sleep.
Tumblr media
There wasn’t much information given on what today’s plans were.  
You didn’t know how you’d get there, or if there would be anyone else going with, or how long the game would last. All you knew was that you were going to the Quidditch World Cup and staying at the campsite for one night.
And a strange list of directions. It had you take a few stops on different trolley cars to get to your spot. The last place you were dropped off was at another stop, so you decided to walk the rest of the way.
The handwriting on the paper with the directions looked familiar, it wasn't Cedric’s however, it was too messy. Maybe it was his fathers. Maybe he’d got it from a friend.
Thinking of it, the paper was never directly given to you by Cedric. Your father gave it to you when a stack of mail came in.
You let your thoughts wander around, imagining how today would go as you began to get closer to the designated spot the directions gave you. It was at “a hill with an old boot on it” according to the paper.
A tall, older man, with wired glasses, a scrubby beard and brown hair stood on top of the hill. Amos Diggory. Cedric’s dad.
As you got farther up, you could spot Cedric, laying down on the grass next to his father, using his bag as a pillow.
Both of their heads shot up and faces changed into a smile once they looked up, seeing you heading towards him.
“Y/N! Good to see you!” Mr.Diggory reached out to shake your hand.
“It’s good to see you too, Mr.Diggory.” You accepted his greeting, shaking his hand and giving him a warm smile back.
“It’s been quite awhile! How’s mum and dad? Doing well?” He asked while the boy behind him sat up. You gave a small “mhm” and nod in response. 
Cedric hopped up from his spot on the grass, giving you a tight hug, purposely ruffling up your hair once he pulled away.
“So how’s your summer been? I didn’t get many letters from you.” He jokingly gave you a dramatic pout.
“It’s been lovely. No work, no uniforms, no getting up at the crack of dawn, and no annoying twins.” You sighed happily, you didn’t catch how Cedric’s expression faltered when you mentioned the twins.
“So, shouldn’t we get going? What are we waiting on?” You tried your best to sound as patient as possible, ignoring the excitement running through your veins.
“My dad invited a work friend. We’re just waiting on him I suppose.”
“Should be any moment now!” Amos added in, smilingly nervously and rocking back and forth on his heels.
“He said that about an hour ago.” Cedric whispered to you, “Anyways, what's that?” He gestured at the paper in your hands. You gave him a blank stare, expecting him to know what it was, he was the one who sent you it, right?
“The directions?” You said hesitantly, holding the paper up. “That you sent me?” Cedric's brows knit together, tilting his head to get a straight look at what was written.
“I never sent any directions?” He copied your tone. “Plus, that is not my handwriting.” He scoffed, amused at the scribbles on the page.
“Then who-” Your thoughts were interrupted once chattering and footsteps were heard in the distance.
"Amos!" A voice shouted from a distance. The shout came from Mr. Weasley, who was grinning as he strode closer. A group followed behind him. 
All the excitement and joy in your veins was drained out once you saw who was part of that group. Those two dreadful boys. Your jaw tensed at the sight of them.
“Are you kidding me? You didn’t tell me those gits were coming along!” You hissed as you turned back towards Cedric.
“Don’t say that, y/n. The Weasleys are nice people.” Cedric scorned, you rolled your eyes. You were sick of people telling you that, of course they were nice people, they were the sweetest people you ever met, except for two of them.
“I know that! I’m not talking about the Weasley family Cedric, I'm talking about the Weasley twins!” You groaned, the bickering stopped between you two as Mr.Weasley began to speak.
"This is Amos Diggory, everyone," said Mr. Weasley. "He works for the
Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures! And I believe you
know his son, Cedric?"
“Hi.” Cedric let out, his eyes darting around them all. Everyone greeted back, except the twins, who gave barely a nod, they looked as if they were already miserable.
“Oh, I’m sure everyone remembers Y/N!” Mr.Weasley gestured, you gave an uncomfortable smile and a small wave.
Mr.Weasley and Amos went back into their own separate conversation, as you and Cedric did into your bickering.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” You kept your voice low and stern.
“I didn’t tell you because you wouldn’t go! They didn’t have any idea you’d be here either, they don’t even know where we're going!” He scoffed. “Mr.Weasley and my father set this whole thing up! Can’t you push aside your hatred for one night? You won’t even be in the same tent as them, you’ll have your own bed
or you can share one with me.” He joked, giving you an exaggerated smolder.
“You wish.” You shoved him in the chest and let out a slight laugh, slowly forgetting about your bad mood.
The both of you turned your attention back to the older gentlemen. At this point, Amos was gawking at Harry’s presence, he began to unknowingly boast about Cedric and how he beat Harry at Quidditch last year.
The twins were scowling, you caught on quickly to that. It seemed as if they were still upset about losing to Hufflepuff and getting beaten by Cedric in the first Quidditch match of last year.
Cedric, obviously embarrassed, tried to explain it was due to Harry falling off his broom. His father only shrugged that off and continued to speak.
It looked like with every word Amos spoke about his son's win, the scowls on the twins' faces grew. You wanted to laugh, you wished you could laugh. You could only attempt to bite back your smirk.
You turned your attention back to Cedric. 
“They don't seem very joyous.” You mocked as you jerked your head in the twins direction.
“Oh come on, I’m sure it’s not personal.” The hufflepuff shrugged it off, you raised your brows at him in disbelief. “But, I would really like to get going now.” He said through gritted teeth, eyes pointed at the boot in his fathers hand.
“So, what is it?” You asked, relating to the shoe.
“It’s a boot.” Fred's voice appeared from beside you. He was standing right there, it scared you for a second. Causing you to whip your head around quickly, you were unsure how he got next to you so quickly and silently.
“Yeah I know that, dimwit.” You sneered at him, “How are we going to use a ruddy old boot to get there?”
“It’s a portkey, dimwit.” He shot back, using your insult. “I’m sure you remember learning about those.” The redhead raised his brows at you, unamused. 
“Well, I assume it’s time to get on our way!” Mr.Weasley spoke out, fortunately cutting off all the tension in the air. “Now, all you need to do is touch the portkey.” He said happily as he laid a hand onto the shoe, which was being held out by Amos.
“Glad to know you got here safely with the directions George and I wrote down for you.” He shot you a sarcastic smile as he walked up to the boot, nodding his head at the paper in your hand while passing you.
Your face went from confusion then dropped into irritation.
Everything made sense now. Of course those assholes sent you those puzzling directions.
The paper crumpled around your grasp once you tightened your hands into fists, you wadded up the parchment and shoved it in your pocket.
Once everyone was crowded around in a tight circle, a hand or finger touching the boot. Mr.Weasley stared at his watch and began to count down from three.
Suddenly, you felt your feet detach from the ground, you were flying through the air, it looked like you and everyone else was stuck in the middle of a tornado. You accidentally banged into others while being stuck in the swirl of wind.
Then, you were falling from the sky and heading towards the ground. You used your forearms as a shield for your head as you hit the rough grass.
However, Mr. Weasley, Cedric, and his father were literally walking on air. Their legs moving as if they were walking down an invisible staircase. They landed neatly onto the ground, standing, while everyone else was scattered around them.
You were just about to push yourself up before a body came flying towards you. Letting out a small yelp as you covered your head once again, feeling a weight hit your legs.
Once you removed your arms from your face, Fred was laid uncomfortably across the bottom half of your body.
His back pinning down your left leg while his head and arms were laid across your right.
“Ow! You landed on my legs!” You cried out.
“Whoops, sorry.” Fred smoothed back his hair. “They're not broken are they?” He smiled. You moved around your legs, they were sore, not broken.
“No.” You muttered as you waited for him to fully get off your limb and stand up. “Get off!”
“Right.” pushed himself up and dusted his clothes off from any grass.
 “M’lady,” He jokingly bowed and reached out a hand to you, waiting for you to grab it so he could help you up. You ignored his gesture, picking up your bag while getting up without his help, rolling your eyes and shoving past him.
“Everyone up! We still have some walking to do before we get to the campsite!” Mr Diggory called out, everyone else began to pick themselves and their belongings up as they muttered and sighed under their breaths.
Tumblr media
Thank Merlin you had your own room in this tent. You would’ve gone mad if you weren’t able to get some amount of isolation to cool down. It was shocking how easily the smallest interaction with Fred could ruin your mood.
You had about an hour before you had to get going. That’d be more than enough time for your irritation to go away.
“I’ve got great news!” Cedric jokingly sang as he pushed open the flaps of the tent leading into your space, making his dramatic entrance.
“What now?” You sat up amused. You assumed from his sarcastic tone that maybe the match had been postponed to a later time or you’d somehow got moved to shitter seats.
“Mr.Weasley invited us to go over to his tent tonight, after the game ends.” He let out quickly, knowing that you are not going to be pleased.
“What?” Your expression dropped. “That means- no! I’m not gonna be stuck in a tent with Fred and George!” You exclaimed, you’d already had your interaction with one of them today, now you would not be dealing with both.
“Well, my dad already agreed. So
” He trailed off. You groaned and fell back on the bed, you were too tired to argue.
“Fine, whatever. Just let me have a moment to myself, please.” You ran your hands down your face.
“Yeah, yeah. Oh, take this also!” He threw a red and black scarf at you, “We’ve got to sport some pride, right?” He shrugged before disappearing behind the flaps of the tent.
Tumblr media
Merlin knows how many stairs you had to climb to get up there, your legs began to hurt once you made it to your seats.
Cedric and you were the first to make it to your spot. The seats that were set at the highest point of the stadium. The Weasley party was not far behind you.
As Fred walked up, you let out a small laugh of disbelief due to his appearance. He had a large three-leafed clover painted on his face, a white and green scarf hung around his neck, and wore a cartoonishly large white and green top hat. 
While George only had stripes of white and green painted on his cheeks and Ginny wore a large Leprechaun hat.
Fred had truly outdone the others and himself.
Cedric noticed the laugh you let out and was not going to let you get away with that.
“Are you smiling at him?” Cedric looked at you with disbelief, but he sounded excited that you were smiling, almost like he was waiting for this to happen.
“I’m laughing at him.” You corrected him. “And it’s only because he looks like an idiot.” The small smile was still on your face. Cedric's eyes analyzed your expression.
“Sure.” He narrowed his eyes at you. You ignored him, looking around the large stadium.
A tall figure slid up next to you, and it sure as hell wasn’t Cedric.
"Aw, did you miss me?" Fred cooed, tilting his head.  
"Absolutely not." You spat out the last word, your smile dissolving and a grimace taking over your face instead.
Just before you could get another snarky response out, a string of players flew past your head. The strong wind from their brooms nearly made Fred’s hat fly off.
The stadium roared and boomed with cheers from excited fans as more players from the teams flew out. You felt like your eardrums would burst with how loud the twins were.
They only got louder once Viktor Krum flew out.
“Who’s that?” Ginny shouted to her brothers.
“That, sis, is the best seeker in the world!” George exclaimed as he pointed at the Bulgarian wizard excitedly.
“Aren’t you supposed to be cheering for Ireland?” You narrowed your eyes at him and scoffed.
“Yeah, but who doesn’t love Krum!” Fred and George said in unison, George went back to screaming and cheering as players flew past on their brooms. Fred’s eyes averted to your neck, you noticed.
Do not let them ruin your night. Do not let them ruin your night. Do not let them ruin your-
“You know what I haven’t seen in a while, George?” Fred nudged his twin, getting him to look back over. “That necklace we made for her.” A smirk took over both of their faces as George decided to join in.
“Yeah, what happened to that? I reckon you wore it for a bit, then one day it just vanished.” George added in, peeking over Fred’s shoulder.
“I got rid of it. Could you two just watch the bloody game?” You turned your attention to the stadium, not wanting to be reminded of that embarrassing day in the library, the day you stopped wearing the stupid piece of jewelry they’d given you.
Not long after, Cedric returned, and this time, he stood between you and those red-headed boys. Freeing you from being pestered any more.
Tumblr media
Despite the final game lasting over two hours, it went by fast. 
And despite being near the twins, you had a good time overall. 
The twins nearly fell out of their seats when Ireland won. They were screaming joyfully at each other. It was something about money and winning a bet. You could barely hear them over the rest of the stadium.
You secretly giggled as they jumped up and down like little girls.
Your time at the Weasleys tent wasn’t as bad as you expected. You talked with Hermione and Ginny some, while Ron preached about Krum to the entire tent. 
“There's no one like Krum!” Ron shouted as he stood up on the small ottoman next to a chair. 
“Krum? Dumb Krum?” Both Fred and George began to repeat this nickname to Ron, acting as if they weren’t cheering for him in the stands.
“He's like a bird the way he rides the wind!” He went on, sounding as if he was performing slam poetry.
“Dumb Krum!” The twins chanted as they ran around him, flapping their arms, mimicking the look that baby birds have when learning how to fly. Fred took the flag he had draped around him and threw it over Ron’s head.
“He's more than an athlete! He's an artist!” Ron cried out as he took the flag off.
“I think you're in love, Ron.” Ginny giggled, Ron only let out a muttered “Shut up.” in response.
“Viktor, I love you!” George began to sing loudly as he grabbed onto Ron’s hand, Fred grabbed onto his other.
“Oh Viktor, I do!” Fred sang mockingly while getting down on one knee. This led to Harry choosing to sing along.
“When we're apart my heart beats only for you!” The three sang to a frowning Ron, who was still standing on the ottoman, shoulders slouched.
Screams and blasts coming from outside interrupted their singing. 
“Sounds like the Irish have got their pride on.” Fred said amusedly as he stood up, not bothering to get a full look outside at what was happening.
He grabbed a cushion and was preparing to join in on a fight between Ron and George when his father came rushing in.
“Stop!” Mr.Weasley shouted at them, getting the attention of everyone in the tent.
“It’s not the Irish.” His voice was stern and there was panic filling up in his face. “We’ve got to get out of here. Now.” His tone of voice didn’t make it sound like a suggestion, everyone began to run out the tent.
Outside was pure chaos. 
Terror. 
Tents were crushed and lit on fire. People were running into the woods, screaming, apparating, trying to get away from something.
You stood frozen in fear at the sight not far from you. 
A group of hooded, masked wizards had their wands pointed upright, above them was a group of four floating in the air. Their figures being contorted and twisted into disturbing shapes. Something you’d see out of a horror movie.
“We’re going to help the Ministry.” Mr.Weasley's voice got your attention, he was standing next to Cedric’s father. “You lot, get back to the portkey and stick together!” He ordered as he took out his wand. Automatically you began to move towards Cedric.
“Fred and George, Ginny is your responsibility!” Mr.Weasley shouted before running off. Fred grabbed onto Ginny's hand and started heading towards the forest with George. 
Harry, Ron, and Hermione grouped together and ran off with them.
“Here, I think I know a separate path!” Cedric shouted as grabbed onto your arm.
“You think? Or you know?” You questioned him, your feet stuck in place.
“Can you not do- Would you just trust me?” He bellowed out before he began to run, his hand still gripped around your arm, pulling you with him.
You ran for what felt like ages, constantly bumping into people and dodging fallen over remains of tents and trees.
You could see the forest in the distance when you heard a blast right next to you.
Suddenly, you were being knocked over by strong, hot, wind. It was strong enough to where Cedric lost his grip on your forearm. You hit the ground and your head hit something too.
Cedric tried to turn and run back to you, it seemed impossible due to the crowds pushing him, he could move with the crowd and not against, leaving you there. 
You brought your hand to the side of your head, feeling a warm liquid smudge onto your fingers and you put your hand in front of your eyes, blood.
You weren’t able to process the fact that your head had just been busted open for long once more crowds of people began to run through, many accidentally kicking or stepping on you while rushing to get out.
All you could do was just lay there, groaning and trying to stay conscious as you were repeatedly hit. Your weakened limbs weren’t much help when trying to pick yourself up.
Even if you could get up, you wouldn’t know where to go. Cedric was out of sight and people were running in different directions.
You don’t remember how long you were stuck on the ground for. Maybe it was only a minute, maybe five, maybe ten. Who knows. It felt like forever. 
Only remembering the horrible feeling of hundreds of scared and panicked feet running over you, on you, or accidentally kicking you, few people tripping over you, only to get back up and continue running. The wet tears sliding down the side of your face and the taste of metallic in your mouth, the smell of sweat and smoke filling your lungs.
You could see the dirt footprints from peoples shoes all over your legs, stomach, everywhere, some blood too. 
You couldn’t tell if it was others or your own.
You started to lose all hope of someone helping, you chose to close your eyes and depressedly wish your body would go numb or that you would fall unconscious so you wouldn’t have to feel the pain anymore.
“Hey! Help me get her up!” A voice shouted as you felt someone lift you up by the underneath of your armpits. You were being dragged away from your spot on the ground and through the fiery campsite, you couldn’t even hold up the weight of your own head.
Eventually you heard the same voice mutter the words  “Fuck it.” and you were no longer being dragged, you were being picked up and held bridal style. You were able to use enough of the little strength you had left to get a good look at who was holding you. 
You lifted up your head and saw the last person you’d expect to see.
“Fred?” You mumbled, your eyes squinted and your head dizzy.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, we’re gonna get you help.” Fred said as he ran, his breathing heavy and panicked. 
The orange flames all around lit up his face, you scanned it with your eyes, taking in the details.
Has he always had so many freckles?
Has his hair always looked so soft?
Have his eyelashes always been so long?
It must've been the fumes of the smoke getting to you, causing these thoughts.
Fred would occasionally look down at you while running, making sure you were still conscious. You saw the look on his face, the look of shock, of worry, of panic, of fear.
Your eyesight began to get blurry, it was getting more and more difficult to keep your eyes open and your head up. Your body gave in, your head fell back, you went limp. Fred was cursing to himself.
“Oh shit. Shit, shit, shit.” He uttered, breathing heavily as he caught up to his family.
You had small moments of consciousness, constantly fading in and out. It was a struggle to keep your eyes from going blurry, you were only able to get a clear look of the night sky, trees above you, and occasionally Fred's face. 
You remembered bits and pieces of conversation between the group once he had reached the rest of them.
“Where were- oh Merlin, what happened?” A similar voice to Fred’s called out, most likely George.
“She must’ve tripped or got knocked over, people were trampling her.”
“Fred, is that your blood?” Ginny pointed out, she noticed the fresh stains of blood covering the sleeve of his cardigan.
“No. It’s hers. Possibly. I think she hit her head somehow, she’s injured somewhere.”
Large running footsteps were heard coming towards you. 
“Dad!” You heard Ginny call out.
“Are you all- oh dear, is she-“ It was an older man's voice, most likely Mr.Weasley. You cut off his question with a groan of agony.
“Well, that shows she’s alive.” George quipped in with some poorly timed humor.
“Wait, where have Ron and Harry and Hermione gone?” Mr.Weasley stressed.
One of the loudest explosions shook the ground, you felt the vibration as your arms and legs dangled around when Fred ducked down.
“We’ll search for them, get the girls to the portkey, go!” Arthur commanded, Fred shook his head frantically, you felt him begin to run, stress filling his face.
“Don’t get her hurt anymore than she already is!” Arthur called out from a distance.
You couldn’t remember anything after that. You’d lost consciousness for the last time.
Fred kept his eyes on you the entire time you were both flying and falling through the portkey, focused only on you, he used his body as a shield when you both hit the ground, hoping neither of your bones broke.

Movie Nights
(couldn't think of another title lol) just a simple little sleepy mike schmidt blurb, no pronouns used, 0.3k
Tumblr media
“So
what did we think about The Princess Bride?” You clicked the power button to turn off the TV sitting on top of your dresser. 
“It was alright, I guess. I’m not a fan of cheesy 80’s rom-coms.” He shrugged, looking at you through half-lidded eyes.
“Really? ‘Cause I saw those watery eyes when we got to the final fight between Inigo and Count Rugen.” You leered at him.
“Yeah, sure, I think you’re just making things up.” He narrowed his eyes at you, giving a playful smirk back.
“Alright, now it’s your turn to pick out the movie for next week.” You flopped down onto the bed and tucked yourself under the sheets.
“We’ll be watching the Labyrinth.” A tired grin spread across his face.
“Isn't that one with David Bowie?” You sat up on your side and rested your head on your hand, your elbow poking into the pillow.
“Yeah. He plays Jareth, the goblin king.” His voice became sluggish.
“Goblin king? Really?” You chuckled.
“Oh come on, you pick out a cheesy 80s movie, I pick out a cheesy 80s movie.” He yawned. “I think you’ll like it.” His eyes slowly closed and he nuzzled his face into the pillow slightly.
“You’re falling asleep.” You giggled. 
“No I’m not, I’m just resting my eyes.” He muttered.
“Really?” You teased.
“Mhm.” He nodded. You just smiled and looked at his face smushed into the pillow.
“So the Labyrinth for the next Friday night movie?” He didn’t respond, he was already knocked out. 
You let out a small laugh to yourself, gently combing pieces of his messy brown curls aside to give him the most gentle kiss possible on his forehead, hoping you wouldn’t wake him up.
“Goodnight, Mike.” You whispered. Smiling as you laid your head back down on the pillow, looking at him one more time before closing your eyes and drifting off to sleep.
