Lee let out a groan as Fred dragged him and George up the stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room. Muttering the password Fred looked around anxiously, not wanting anyone to follow them.

"What is this that you have to show us in secret? We're gonna be late for potions Fred! Do you want another detention with Snape?" George asks, raising an eyebrow at his twin as he pulled the two into the common room.

Once they were in the room and the door was shut, Fred made sure no one else was in there, checking behind chairs and corners. Lee and George stood near the fireplace, their arms crossed.

Fred let out a sigh of relief, not finding anyone. Walking back over to his best friends, he pulled a small piece of candy out of his pocket. The two raised their eyebrows at him, not really impressed.

"This is what you dragged us out of the great hall for? Merlin Fred! I wasn't done with my chicken!" Lee complained and Fred shot him a look, making him shut up.

"It's not just a normal piece of candy you gits. If you're looking at one person while eating this candy, you'll be able to hear their thoughts for an hour." Fred said with a proud smile on his lips.

The two boys in front of him looked at him, confused looks on their faces.

"And why do you need this?" Lee asked, not understanding this at all.

Realization hit George like a truck. He shook his head at his twin, making Fred nod his head with a smirk.

"No, you didn't Fred. You didn't." George mumbled, hoping this was all a joke and that his twin actually hadn't done what George thought he did.

"Sure did Georgie. Gonna eat this in potions and finally see what Emily thinks of me." Fred replied, pride in his voice.

George groaned, running a hand over his face. Lee still had a look of confusion on his face, not having been in the loop on Fred's relationship, well lack of, with the quiet Ravenclaw in their potions class.

Sighing at his brother's actions, George turned to look at his other best friend.

"Fred here has a crush on Emily Morgan. She's a Ravenclaw in our potions. Rarely talks. But he's still head over heels for her." George explained, Lee finally getting it.

"Oh! Is she the smart one that sits at the table across from us and up?" He asked, George nodding and turning back to Fred.

"Fred, you can't do this. It's an invasion of her privacy." George tried to reason with his twin, making Fred scoff and shake his head.

"And when have you ever cared about someone's privacy before?!" Fred asked with a laugh.

George crossed his arms, not giving into his brother's antics.

"Yeah but not when it's someone like Emily! She hasn't done a single thing to bother us or make us want to do something to her. She's barely even spoken to us!" George says, throwing his hands up.

"I don't care George, I need to know how she feels." Fred said, stuffing the candy back into his pocket and turning to leave the common room, George and Lee hot on his tail.

"But why don't you just ask her out like a normal person would?" Lee asked.

George let out a laugh, glancing at Lee as the three continued to make their way to potions.

"He's liked this girl since the beginning of the term. He's never going to man up and ask her."

Fred rolled his eyes at his brother's comment and the three sped down the hallway to avoid being late to class.

➽───────────────❥

The three boys entered the classroom, taking their usual seats at their table. Glancing at your seat, Fred grinned seeing that you were there, hunched over, and looking through your notes.

Fred looked at the boys beside him who didn't share his smile.

"I still don't think this is a good idea Fred..." George mumbled as he looked between the girl and his brother.

"Lighten up Georgie! Everything will be fine!" Fred said and turned towards you, popping the candy into his mouth.

It had an odd taste, he'd have to work on that if they decided to sell it. As he ate the candy he kept his eyes on you, not wanting to mess up and read someone else's mind. He swallowed the candy, still looking at you, and waited to see if it worked. Suddenly you looked over at him, the two of you making eye contact. You blushed and quickly looked away, a small smile gracing Fred's lips.

You look pretty good today, is it me or did you shave?

Fred's eyes widen as he heard you speak the small-phrase in his head.

It worked! It had actually worked! He smiled and quickly got his book out as Snape walked by and hit him on the back of the head.

He kept looking at you as Snape started the day's lesson, noticing that you would look back at him every once in a while.

Good, you've been looking at me twice as more, so I can see your face.

Fred smiled even more at that. He had in fact shaved today, not wanting to have scratchy stubble on his chin if something happened between the two of you.

You sit across from me in the classroom, but do you even know my name?

Fred's head popped up from his book, his jaw dropping slightly. He sat across from you! Could you be thinking about him? Oh, merlin he hoped so...

If you want to ask me how I am, don't hesitate.

Fred started to smile again at that. Of course he would love to ask you how you were, but the one time he choked up on words was when he was around you. If you weren't there he wouldn't stop talking, everyone knew that. But when you were near him he got all nervous. Sweaty palms, dry mouth, the whole 9-yards.

Cause you're my crush, and I like you very much.

If Fred had been taking a drink he would have spit it out everywhere. You had a crush on someone! He really really hoped it was him. Oh, what he would give to be the one who you liked.

And I'd appreciate if you liked me back, but it's okay 'cause you make my heart an art class...

Fred could practically feel the love pouring into his heart. His cheeks were a light shade of pink as he looked at you, watching you doodle in your notebook. You probably already knew all about what Snape was talking about. Suddenly you turned to look at him once more. Fred smiled more at you before you quickly turned away. Fred's smile faltered, hoping you weren't scared of or weirded out by him.

Why do you always stick to smiling and sit still being so quiet?

Fred's eyes widened once more at that. You had just caught him smiling... And this was one of the only classes where he actually sit still and didn't bother everyone. Could you actually like him?

I've been pretty distracted for some days, and it's ruining my diet.

Furrowing his eyebrows for a moment Fred frowned. He had noticed that every time he saw you in the Great Hall you hadn't been eating, and you'd usually be looking in his direction...

If you don't take the hint already, I'm afraid I'll start a riot.

Fred let out a small chuckle at that one, making Snape stop talking and raise an eyebrow at him.

"Something funny, Mr. Weasley?" Snape asked in his usual slow drawl.

Fred quickly quieted down, his eyes flickering down to the table.

"No Professor." He mumbled, elbowing his twin when he sniggered.

Once Snape starting talking again, Fred looked over at you, seeing you already looking at him and covering your mouth as you giggled quietly.

The sight made Fred's whole face light up, grinning happily back at you. Merlin you were beautiful...

You soon turned back around in your seat, but a smile stayed on your lips.

'Cause you make my whole world go crazy, yeah your smell just sends me flying.

Fred sniffed his shirt a little, surprised that he actually didn't smell that bad. But he was used to his scent by now, could you have found his usual smell of gunpowder and candy to be pleasant?

'Cause you make my heart an art class.

An art class? That was the second time you'd said, well though, that. Fred was known to be rather wild, much like an art class could be. Maybe you did like him...

All my days, been trying to find a reason to stay. Say my name, and I'll go ahead and pick a date. I'm okay, if you understand that this is fate.

A date? You were waiting for them to make the first move! Maybe he could finally man up enough to ask you out... But what if it wasn't him you liked? What if he mad a total fool of himself by confessing his love to you?

Art class...

After that your thoughts trailed off. Looking at the time, Fred realized that an hour had passed. The candy had worn off.

Snape began to dismiss the class, telling everyone the homework for the week. As people groaned in protest, Fred watched as you stood up, slowly gathering your things. Without thinking he shoved his things into George's arms.

"Hold these for me Georgie." He muttered before starting to walk over to you.

"Is he actually going to do it?" Lee asked, watching as Fred weaved through the people leaving to get to you.

"Maybe..." George mumbled, not being able to help the smile that made it's way onto his lips.

Most of the people in the class had left, including Snape who had gone to hide away in his office. Your back was to Fred as you struggled to get your book into your bag, papers spilling out everywhere. With a sigh you bent down to pick up the fallen papers. Fred hurriedly came to the front of you, helping to pick up the papers. When he handed them to you, you slowly followed his hand up to his face, making eye contact with the one and only Fred Weasley. Your cheeks turned a deep shade of red as you blinked at him. Fred smiled, his hand brushing against yours.

"Hi..." He mumbled, standing up with you, your hands still both holding the stack of papers together.

You shook your head a little, snapping outof whatever trance you were just in. The redness of your cheeks didn't go down, if anything it got worse.

"Th-thanks..." You said, barely above a whisper, as you shoved your papers into your bag, breaking your eye contact with Fred.

Fred almost swooned out loud at the sound of your voice, it being the most angelic thing he had ever heard.

"Yeah, no problem. Emily, right?" He asked, trying to play it cool and act like he didn't think about you all the time.

Looking back up at him from your bag, your cheeks somehow grew darker in color. Your mouth opened slightly in surprise. He knew your name? But how? He was Fred Weasley, and you were well, you.

"Um... yeah..." You mumbled, your voice a little bit louder than earlier. This mad Fred smile, wanting you to be comfortable around him.

Fred realized he wasn't going to get anywhere with pretending he didn't know you, he had to just come straight out with it. With a deep breath, he let out all his feelings.

"Look Emily, I've had a crush on you since the beginning of the term. Maybe it was the way you stuck out your tongue whenever you were concentrating or the way you crossed your ankles under the table, I fell for you like I've fallen for no one else before. I know we don't talk but I want to, so bad. Everytime you smile at someone or turn a page in your book I want to be right there next to you. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like you. Hell, I love you! I love you Emily Morgan!" Fred finished, his lip caught between his teeth as he awaited your response.

You stared at him with wide eyes, taking in his words. He liked you? He actually liked you back? You realized that you hadn't said anything because Fred had started to get a bit fidgety.

"Please say something..." He mumbled, barely being able to finish his sentence before your next action.

Dropping your bag onto the table you moved closer to Fred, throwing your arms around his neck. Fred's eyes widened, not responding for a second as he was in shock but he quickly recovered and wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you even closer to him. You buried your face into the crook of his neck, not being able to help the smile on your lips as you breathed in his scent. Fred swayed the two of you back and forth slightly, nuzzling his face into the top of your head, pressing a light kiss to your hair.

Once the two of you separated Fred smiled down at you, his hands still on your hips.

"Guessing that means you like me too?" Fred asked with a smirk.

You let out a laugh, making Fred smile at the sound.

"I love you Fred..." You mumbled, reaching a hand up to run through his hair.

Fred smiled even more and wrapped his arms all the way around your waist, picking you up and spinning you around. Giggles left your lips as you held onto his shoulders. Once he sat you down he lifted a hand up to cup the side of your face, his thumb running over your cheek.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked in a quiet voice.

You smiled softly at him and nodded, leaning him with him until your lips met. Your arms once again wrapped around his neck as your lips moved together. His hand squeezed your hip while the other stayed cupping your cheek.

George let out a small chuckle from the corner him and Lee were hidden in.

"He actually did it..." He mumbled, actually happy for his twin.

"I still don't know why he just didn't just do this in the first place instead of going to all that trouble to make a candy to read her mind." Lee pointed out.

"He's a idiot." George said, Lee agreeing with him.

The two of you didn't see the pair in the corner, nor did you care. You were happy and you were together. And it was all thanks to a piece of candy. Well actually thanks to Fred manning up and talking to you for once.
