Avery walked down one of the long passage ways in Hogwarts.Yes, it was in the wee hours of the morning but she didn't care. The magical feeling in Hogwarts was in the air, and Avery, being as sly as she was, decided to go to the Astronamy tower.Avery turned a corner and got onto one of the staircases. She glanced up at some of the paintings and watched the people in them sleep.They looked so peaceful and quiet, which was a good change from all the usual noise that accumilated during the day.

Walking up the staircase, she knew that it was about to change on her.She paused as it turned, and then sighed in frustration when it went down.'I'll have to walk all the way back up,'she thought to herself. It wasn't a bother to do that, but she was already tired and needed the tower to finish some of her homework."Whatever,"She mummbled aloud.Even though the mummble was soft, one of the people in the paintings woke up.

"Shut up,"It murmured, then passed out again.She quickly gave it the finger then walked back to her common room.She will just have to do it when she gets there, even though it won't be as comftorable or have such a great view.Maybe this was best, since Peeves might be out and about.

~~
"C'mon!"Hermione said, tugging Avery's leg."But I don't wanna'."Avery said, half asleep and half dead asleep.Maybe staing up to do so much homework was a bad thing. Maybe she should just limit her time with Fred and Geroge.She slightly smiled in her sleep.That wasn't going to happen.As much as she didn't want to admit it, she really had feelings for the tall ginger.

"No! You should have not stayed up so late just so you could flirt with Fred!"Hermoine said, tugging at her again.At the sound of Fred's name Avery was up and glaring daggers at Hermoine."I don't flirt with him. Hell, I don't even like him!"She put on her best actress face as she said this. It was a total lie."Whatever,"Hermoine said, walking over to her trunk and taking out some stuff.

"Get up and get moving!"Those were Hermoine's last words before she left Avery in the room alone. Not even Giny was here, and she was a late sleeper.Moving fast, Avery ran to her own little closet and changed into her robes. She adjusted the tie, grabbed her shoes, and then she was out of the big bedroom.
She jumped down the stairs and into the Common room, as happy as ever. She,Fred, and Geroge had a master prank to do before Easter Break, and she was going home with them.Their house was like a third home to her; Hogwarts being her first, then her real home being her second."Somebody looks happy,"she glanced up and saw Ron, who was fixing his tie.

"For Heavens sake, let me do it."Avery said laughing.She walked over to Ron, who had turned a slight pink color.She moved her tan hands up to Ron's neck and moved his collar down."You woke up late as well?"She asked, adjusting his tie.Ron nodded,then thanked Avery."Anything for a brother!"Avery said, excitement in her voice.

~~
Fred walked with George as they strode into the room, looking as dashing as ever.They scanned all of the people eating, and they couldn't find her."Maybe this isn't such a good idea,"the more level-headed of the two brothers said.Fred shook his head."Not to worry, she'll get us back."George shrugged."Don't you back out of this!"Fred said, wagging his finger at his brother.

"Don't wag your finger at me. You look like mum."Fred gasped, drawing the attention of some people from the Ravenclaw table."How dare you?!"Fred then walked away and to the Gryffindor table. So, they wouldn't be doing the prank now. Good. The prank would be much more sufficent if Avery was alone, like she usually is at around midnight.

Fred knew of her getting up almost every night to go walking around Hogwarts.At first he though it wasn't a good idea; he didn't want Peeves to play his usual tricks on her.But then another part was glad.She had figured out lots of pasageways and hidden rooms.HE was proud of her."Oh God, someobdy cal the paper."Fred turned and saw Avery, who was just about to sit next to him.

A small blush rose to his face as she saw down next to him.The sweet smell of lavendar and lilies filled his nose. It was the best smell ever."Why?"He asked her.She chuckled."Because it looked like Fred Weasly was thinking,"He rolled his eyes ."Oh har har har. You're hilarious."

"I know I am,"Avery said, laughing.In his opinion, that was the sweetest sound ever. As you could probably tell at that point, Fred had strong feelings for Avery. He had ever since he saw her mouth of to Malfoy, who was picking on Ron at the time. He admired her bravery, her cleverness, and he often wondered why she wasn't in Ravenclaw with how smart and nerdy she was."Yes you are,"George said, sitting on the other side of her and grabbing a muffin.

~~
"You've got to be kiding me,"Avery said, pinching the bridge of her nose.How could they be...such idiots?Was idiots even the right word?No, a word much more idiotic and bad."What?"The brothers said together.

"You guys have OWLS to study for, and you're just goofing off?"She asked, dead serious. As much as she was fun, she was also conserend with their grades. She can't have fun with them if they were kicked out!

"But it's so booooring,"Fred said, sitting down next to her.He then leaned over and whispered,"Why don't we ditch the dud and go make out with a real man?"Avery's cheeked turned a bright red, but she chuckled.

"Why of course I would!George!"She yelled, then hopped up and into his arms.George chuckled while Fred glared.Avery smiled down at Fred."What? You said with a real man, and so I found one."Fred just glared even more.

"Aw c'mon Freddie,"George said, putting Avery on the ground."She'll love you someday,"George joked. Fred just glared even more at George. Yes, he knew that Fred was head-over-heels in love with Avery, but he also knew that she wouldn't like him back.


"Oh yeah, Fred's totally in love with me,"Avery said, rolling her green eyes that Fred loved so much. Since he secret wasn't out, he decided to go along with it.Fred jumped up and kneeled beside Avery.

"Avery,darling, would you take my hand as we walked down the halls of Hogwarts?"Avery laughed.Fred loved her laugh."Why of course Fred!"He then stood up and hugged her.Even if they were joking, he loved holding her.

In his arms, he knew that Avery would be safe and sound."Ok, get a room."Harry joked as he, Ron, and Hermione walked in.Fred let go of Avery, who walked over to the trio."You're just jealous because you don't have a WB!"

She then sat on one of the couches and put her legs in George's lap."What's a WB?"Everybody asked."A walking buddie!"

~~
Fred watched as Avery attempted to jump from the very high tree."C'mon, just admit that you can't do it and I'll buy you some butterbeer."Fred yelled up.Avery shook her head."I won't lose to you!I don't want to have to be your slave!"

"But I'll make you wear the cute little maids' outfit!"He yelled up."Fred, those things are too revealing!"She yelled back down. Avery looked slightly scared. She wouldn't make the fall, so why did she take the dare?

Oh yeah. Because she thought she could do it."That's the point,"Fred said in a sing-song voice."Pervert!!"Avery yelled, this caused people walking around to glance up at her.Fred soon heard whispers of how crazy she was.

Oh, how right they were.

"Just climb down and you won't get hurt!"Fred yelled, running his hand through his red hair.Oh, how fun it would be if Avery was his slave. Maybe, just maybe, he could finally admit his feelings for her.

"Fine!"Avery's tone was angry.Fred knew that she hated to lose, so he was slightly upset with her being angry. But then again, seeing her in a maids' outfit could change that.

He watched her slim but curvey figure climb down and walked over to him."You my friend, owe me big time."

"But you're my slave for a month."

"Fred,Easter Break's not far and I'm not going to your house."Fred's mouth slightly went agape."But you always do! C'mon, I'll lower it to two weeks."Avery crossed her arms and staired up at him.They locked brown eyes to green eyes.

'Fred, you're a nitwit.'Fred thought to himself.

~~
Avery looked down at her luggage, which wasn't as much as she thought it would be. A week at the Weasleys' would be a blast. She loved the burrow!"Need any help?"She looked up to see Harry, whose blue eyes were stairing steadily into hers.

"Sure, why no?"She said as she offered him the slightly heavier bag.Once Harry took it, he smiled at her."I heard about that prank that you did on Malfoy,"Harry started.Avery giggled."What'uo hear?"She asked.

"Oh that he wakled into the Slytherin Common Room and 'accidentaly' ended up on the roof. Said he cried for his father and took three people to get him down."Avery smiled. It wasn't their best prank, but she knew that Malfoy would overreact and cry.

"I wish that I could've seen the look on his face, but I was too busy feeding Fred grapes."She said, her tone at the end a little less cheery,

"I thought Fred didn't like grapes,"Harry said, totally confused."He doesn't, he just wanted me to feed it to him like a king.God, he can be a total arse sometimes."Harry chuckled as they continued to walk down the long road to the trains.

"Too bad. Rumor goin' around that he loves you."Avery stopped dead in her tracks. Was this why people would whisper and point at them whenevery they were together?Is this why Angelea was mad at her for no apparent reason?"Wait, what?"

"Everybody knows.George told me that it was true, but told me not to tell...,"Harry shrugged and boarded to train, leaving Avery to her thoughts."Wait, you have my luggage!"She yelled after Harry.

She ran to his compartment and grabbed it."Thanks for hte um...information."Harry nodded and Ron just raised an eyebrow.

~~

"Oh my, have you grown!"Mrs.Weasley said as Avery walekd into the house. She smiled at the older woman and nodded."I suppose I grew a bit,"

"A bit?My, no wonder Fred fancies you,"Mrs. Weasley said, winking at her.Avery's face went totally red. Ok, people at school believe that he likes her, now his mother?"How can you be so sure?"She asked aloud.

"But sure of what?That he likes you?"Avery nodded."Well,I'll tell you later,"Mrs.Weasley's eyes looked across the room as the twins walked in, both of them wrestling.

Avery just smiled.

Maybe things would work out.

~*~

"Fred,we need to talk."Avery said, tapping him on the shoulder."Why is the slave requesting something?"He asked,a little abnoxious.Avery rolled her green eyes and sighed."It's important."

"Fine,"Fred said, standing up. They walked out of the living rooom and into the room where she, Ginny, and Hermione were staying. It was slightly cramped but it did it's job.

"What's the matter,Love?"Fred asked, using his usual nickname for her."Fred, things have been going around school-"

"Is that Malfoy kid startin' stuff again?I swear, once school starts-"

"No!"Avery yelled, shaking her head.Boy, this was going to be harder than she thought."I mean rumors...about me...and about you."She sat down on the bed, beckoning for Fred to sit down next to her. Did he not know anything about these rumors?

"What are they?"Fred asked,slightly conserened."Well, that you like me."Avery blurted out. IT was already an awkward situation and it would make it more so if she just continued to diddy-dattle.

"Is it true?"She asked after a couple minutes of silence.Fred rugged the back of his neck."Well...Yes."Avery sighed in relief.This would work out!"Don't be mad at me,"said Fred, who grabbed her hand.

"Fred, I'm not mad. In fact, I'm happy!"Her excitment startled Fred."Wait, what?"He asked, his head slightly tilting to one side."Fred, I like you!"

Fred smiled a half smile."I knew it,"Avery rolled her eyes."Now that this has been established...where are we now?"

"....In Ginny's room..."

"Not that,Fred!"She said,taking her hand away.Fred chuckled."Avery, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"But of-"she was interuppted by Fred's kiss. Fireworks went off, like she thought her kiss with him might.She turned slightly, then brought her hands to the back of his neck.

Fred's kiss started off soft, and now it became more passionite, drawing Avery in.

"WHOA!"A voice from the doorway yelled."I've gone blind,"she recognized it as Geroge's.Both her and Fred looked up."D'uo mind?"Fred asked.

"I'm blind!"Georeg yelled once again.Avery chuckled."Teachs you to knock before you inter a room."
