"He's still nowhere to be seen"Fred thought and turned to watch the clock tower.Twenty past five and they were supposed to have detention at half past five.Fred decided to go back to the Quidditch field to get George.
Recently George had spent more and more time alone.Before the twins didn't know the word "alone".Today he had wanted to try his new broom and told Fred to go ahead of him to the castle.A week had gone since George got out of the infirmary and his urge to do things alone had increased.Though,nobody else didn't seem to notice since they still spent much time together.
The field was empty and Fred decided to go looking from the dressing room.He was just about to call George's name when he heard an odd sound.
He opened the curtain slightly and saw them.It took a while for Fred to understand what he saw.George kissing someone.A boy.Oliver Wood.It was a passionate kiss,and they were holding each other tightly.He stood there for a while before turning around and starting to stride towards the castle.
In the evening Fred didn't eat,just played with the food on his plate.
"You've been quiet all night"George said.
Fred didn't answer and he didn't need to because Angelina walked to them on the other side of the table and shouted out;"Hi Fred".
She sat between Harry and Ron."Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?"
Fred smiled weakly and answered"Of course"
"The Ball!"Ron said frustrated"Let's make boys lives more harder!"
Fred still played with his food and said;"It's supposed to be fun,just ask some nice looking girl before they're all taken"
Ron just muttered;"Easy for you to say"and continued eating.
"Angelina,could you ask Katie if she'd go to the Ball with me?"George asked
"Okay!"Angelina smiled,got up and returned to her seat.
When they came back from dinner Fred had dashed upstairs and George stayed downstairs.He had to read about goblin's rebellion even though it was something he absolutely didn't want to do.
George took the book from the table and as he straightened he saw Oliver leaning against the fireplace with a cold expression on his face.
"Oliver"George said surprised.How long had he been standing there?
As he walked to George Oliver asked;"Why did you ask Katie Bell to the Yule Ball?"
Before George was able to say anything he was pushed against the wall and Oliver had taken hold of his wrists.Oliver was now kissing George's neck.He couldn't push him away,after all Oliver was two years older than him and played Quidditch.
"Oliver stop!"George cried out when he licked George's collarbone.Somehow he was able to push Oliver away."I had to ask some girl,it would've been odd since Fred has a pair!"
"You should've told me first!"Oliver shouted"Guess how fun it was to hear it from Lee in passing!?"He looked frustrated and hurt as he went on;"You didn't even allow me to kiss you!"
"You know well why!"George shouted back.
Oliver didn't say anything anymore,just looked at George angrily and went to the dormitory.George stayed to stare the stairs before he crumpled down
"Stupid Oliver"he sighed.
. . .
"This is so unfair!It's not our fault if Myrtle flooded used bathroom!"Harry complained as he mopped the floor
"Filch found only us near the bathroom,I doubt that McGonagal or Filch really think we did it,but there's no proof we didn't"Hermione explained
"Thanks for the analysis"Ron joked
"You're welcome"Hermione said.
After a silent moment filled with mopping Ron asked;"Harry,do you know who you're going to ask to the Yule Ball yet?"
"No,I don't"
"I'm jealous,it's so easy for Fred and George!Bloody ladie's men!"Ron said
"They aren't ladie's men,they just don't afraid girls like you do"Hermione noted.
"I am not afraid of girls"Ron snorted
"Speaking of the twins,it seems like they're giving each other the silent treatment"Harry wondered
"True,it has to be a big fight"Ron said and went closer to Harry and Hermione"The last time they really had a fight,they were five years old"
"Not good"
"Exactly"Ron sighted and continued mopping.
. . .
A week passed and Fred or Oliver still didn't speak to George.Well,Fred sort of spoke to him,but only when he had to.
The winter came slowly,first frost and then one morning snowdrifts.George was standing up to his knees in snow when a snowball hit his occiput.He turned around and saw Harry laughing with Ron.
George threw a snowball at Harry but accidentally hit Ron.Ron was just getting his revenge and George was trying to get out of the way and laughed when Harry shouted;
"Oi,Cedric and Oliver!"
George immediately turned to look at the road.Oliver and Cedric Diccory waved at them and continued walking.George stayed staring at Oliver's back but was quickly brought back from his thoughts by a snowball hitting his head.
. . .
Oliver couldn't help stealing glances at George across his shoulder,although he was still angry at him.
Cedric noticed Oliver's sudden silence and asked;"Do you want to talk about it ?"
Temptation was great.Could he?Oliver was sure Cedric wouldn't tell even by mistake,even if he didn't understand them.Cedric had been his friend a long time,they were also both prefects and did prefect duties together.
"Promise you won't tell anyone"Oliver said
"You can trust me"Cedric insured him.
Oliver ducked his head"I'm in love with George"
Cedric blushed"You mean,are you two?"he tried to find the right words but failed.
"Yes,but we had a fight"
Cedric hadn't exactly expected something like this but pulled himself together quite fast"About what?"he asked
"I didn't like it that he asked Katie to the Yule Ball without telling me,and I guess I got a little carried away"
"Wouldn't everything be okay if you said you're sorry?"
"Maybe,but I'm afraid he won't forgive me,I shouted at him really much.I'm way too jealous"
Cedric thought a moment before answering;"George probably is angry but I don't think he won't forgive you.After all,he loves you"
"I hope you're right"
Both were silent a while before Cedric asked;"You don't have to answer if you think it's none of my business,but would it be so bad if everyone knew?"
"Yes it would.It's different for muggles but people in the magical world aren't used to...someone like me and George.You know it yourself,wizards don't say anything to their faces but almost everyone think they're bizarre and what they is do disgusting!The worst part is that I was like that too before I fell in love with George!And it would be much worse at school,everyone would stare us no matter were we went!"Suddenly Oliver looked sad as he continued;"Besides,it would hurt him.Fred is an important part of George and if Fred didn't understand us it would change him.Or maybe I'm also afraid that he'll choose his twin more important than me"Oliver uttered a laughter.
"I can see you really love him,and if you think that keeping a secret will make you happy,then don't tell.You're a great guy,like George,you two deserve to be happy"Cedric smiled.
"Hey Ced,are you coming to Hogsmeade or not?"his friends shouted from the castle
"Yeah,coming!"Cedric shouted back and turned to Oliver"And remember to say you're sorry!"
"He should too.."Oliver mumbled before he met Cedric's stern look
"Oliver!"
"Okay!Go already!"
Cedric ran to his mates and Oliver started walking slowly to the castle.
. . .
George had decided that he won't let this continue any longer.He would say sorry to Oliver and things would go back to normal.
He found Oliver reading on the commonroom's couch.
George sat next to him"I'm sorry,I should've told you"he said.
Oliver put the book away"I'm the one who should be sorry,I'm an idiot"
George's face lit up and he jumped to hug Oliver.Both of them fell to the floor,George gave Oliver a long and tender kiss,when he drew away he said;"Well yeah,but you're my idiot"
George smirked,Oliver laughed and pulled him to a kiss.George took Oliver's shirt off and threw it on the couch.
"You know I love you,right?"Oliver asked
"You've mentioned it"George murmured lips on Oliver's adam's apple
"Shouldn't we stop?We're in the commonroom and-"
"Let's not care!Just this once"George said in between the kisses he pressed on Oliver's neck.
He licked and sucked Oliver's adam's apple,Oliver moaned and whispered to George's ear;"Fine with me"
George was licking Oliver's collarbone and he had opened George's shirt when they noticed someone had stepped inside the commonroom and was staring them.A terrible feeling,like someone had punched him to the stomach hit George when he saw his twin standing couple of meters away,face completely white.
Fred stormed to the dormitory and George ran after him
"Fred!"When they had gone upstairs George begged:"Fred,listen-"
"What the hell are you doing,snogging with him,and by the looks of it not just snogging!He's a boy if you haven't noticed!We've known him since first grade and you! It's disgusting!"
"You shouldn't have found out like this"
"Well I guess it's good then that I saw you earlier in the dressing room!"
George was speechless for once in his life,Fred had known so long but hadn't said anything.
He recovered from the shock fast and said;"It's not just sex,I love him!"
"I thought you liked girls!"
"I don't like girls or boys that way anymore,just him"
Fred looked at George angrily;"How can you!?"he said and ran to their dormitory.
. . .
Harry woke up to voices.They were quiet but it sounded like the persons were arguing about something.He closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"Well I guess it's good then that I saw you earlier in the dressing room!"Harry recognized that the voice belonged to one of the twins.
The other was quiet a moment before Harry heard another angry whisper;"It's not just sex,I love him!"
Wait a minute,him?Harry stopped listening in his astonishment.Was Fred or George seeing a boy?The thought was unthinkable.
"How can you!?"The other asked and Harry heard fast footsteps that left the third-year's dormitory.He wasn't able to breathe before the other twin had also left.Harry sighed and buried his face in his hands.He had no options,Ron had to be told.That would be awful.
. . .
The next morning Oliver sat up when he heard someone coming down.He had slept on the couch because he hadn't dared to go to his dormitory past the fifth-year's."Yeah,I know it's stupid"Oliver thought.He hadn't slept well.
Oliver recognized right away that the person was Fred,not George.He walked through the commonroom and shot an ice-cold glare towards Oliver.Oliver stared back expressionless and watched as Fred went through the portrait hole.
George came to the commonroom after a while and ruffled Oliver's hair before sitting down on an armchair next to the couch.
"Morning"he wished smiling
"Morning"Oliver answered despondently."It didn't went very well with Fred,right?"he asked George.
George's smile faded"No,he said we're disgusting"
"Are you alright?"Oliver asked
"Soon"the red haired boy sighed and buried his face in his hands.
Oliver was crouched in front of the armchair in seconds,looking at the other,worried.
"It feels so wrong,I haven't fought with Fred in ten years and now he calls me disgusting and won't talk to me"George rested his head in his hands and his voice sank to almost whisper"I don't know what to do"
Oliver wrapped his arms around George and George clutched Oliver's shirt.
"He probably just needs time"Oliver said
"But how long!?"George complained against Oliver's shoulder,frustrated.
Oliver looked him in the eyes and moved a lock of hair from his face before saying;"Be patient and give him the opportunity to think"
"I'll try"George mumbled and looked suddenly surprised,he looked at the couch and then Oliver,and the couch again.
He started laughing"You didn't have to sleep on the couch,it's not very likely that Fred would've attacked you on your way to your own dormitory!"
Oliver blushed and looked offended but was secretly pleased about getting George into better mood."I just didn't dare to come upstairs,if I bumped to you two while having a fight..."he stuttered
"You cute,silly boy!"George said and kissed Oliver.
. . .
"What?!You knew?"Harry said,staring at Hermione,open mouthed.
"Yes,I kept it a secret because I didn't think it was necessary to upset you,not to mention Ron"Hermione smiled cunningly and added;"Besides,it's fun to know something anyone else doesn't "
"We have to tell Ron!"
"Wrong Harry,you have to tell Ron.I won't become involved in this and he needs..."Hermione stopped and snickered"...manly support"
Harry looked at the girl bewildered."You think this is funny!"
"Not at all,I just suspected something like this even before I found out,so I'm more used to the thought"
"By the way,how did you-"
"Sorry Harry,I have to go to Ancient Runes class!See you!"Hermione waved and turned around.
Harry had an unpleasant feeling that Hermione knew more than she implied.
When their lessons were over Harry took Ron for a walk by the lake.
"What is it,something clearly bothers you"Ron said and threw stones along the water's surface.
"I have to tell you something..."Harry started and closed his eyes to have the courage and said;"One of the twins is in a relationship with a boy "
The last stone flew and sank.
"Bloody hell..."Ron stammered and sat on the ground"How do you know?"
"I heard when Fred and George argued in the dormitory"
"But they didn't they say who?"
"No"
Ron sighed and stood up"Okay!We have to find out who it is and then I'll go to talk sense to...wait a minute,we don't even know which of my brothers that bastard has gotten into this mess!This is going to be hard..."He continued talking to himself and Harry thought that "talking sense"will not work,especially when they were talking about Fred or George here.
"So,our list has narrowed to two most potential"Ron announced the next day when they sat in the library.Hermione had refused to help them and was reading a couple of bookshelves away.
"Who are?"Harry raised his eyebrow questioningly
"The first;Lee Jordan,the second;Oliver Wood,though I'm not so sure about Wood but he's the most likely from the other guys"
Harry shivered from the thought of his Quidditch captain and one of the Weasley twins.
"I know,mate"Ron said understandingly and moved on to the next topic"Problem number.two,the twins!Both just coldly ignore each other so it's impossible to figure anything out from that,what about before this?Which one do you think has been angrier?"
Harry thought and answered;"Don't know about angry,but George acted normally and Fred didn't"
Ron's face was full of surprise"You're right...so,because you said that the other one knew already we come to the conclusion that it's George!"Ron looked at the ground and mumbled;"But that's all,it's almost impossible to know if it's Lee Jordan,or Oliver Wood,or neither"
"Don't despond!We already know it's George,we just have to watch his behaviour near Lee and Oliver!"Harry comforted Ron and his determined expression came back
"I can't wait to hex that bastard!"
"Ron..."
"Okay,breaking his nose will do"
"Are you sure you want to broke his nose?George would hex you if you did something to that boy"
"It's not a real relationship,George probably just wants to try something new or then his depressed and that mollusc is using him!"Ron stated and Harry didn't want to start arguing so he was silent.
