Second Year,
I'll Owe You One.

They watched as McGonagall explained their homework for them as the end of class neared. Maybe she wouldn't notice if they slipped out of the classroom before she had a chance to remind them of their detention. She leans into him and whispered in his ear.

"You got the map?" he nudged her side, showing her the map, he winked at her.

As Professor McGonagall excused everyone she halted Fred and Rhea. George nodded at them, knowing their plan was to meet them at the Quidditch stadium and buy them time if he could. Their head of House guided them to their detention.

"Now, you'll help Madam Pince in the Library for one hour, she will assign you both a job," they sighed, the library of all the places they could have been.

"Rhea Black, Fred Weasley," they nodded, "Follow me," the Librarian walked towards her desk flicking her wand at two trollies filled with books. "See that these are put back in their correct place,"

Rhea pushed her trolley to a desk, organising the book before she started placing any on shelves. Fred meanwhile was going back and forth between aisles putting books back, he creased his brows at her, 'didn't she want to be done early'

"What are you doing?"

"My mum told me, if I ever had detention in the library, to organise the books first, it-

"Quiet," Madam Pince warned.

"It makes it easier to put them back," she whispered, he eyed his book deciding to do the same, hopefully then they would both be done early.

As they walked along their individual aisles she could see him through some of the books, she slowly placed some books on the shelf when Fred was coming near her. She ruffled his hair making him jump out of his skin.

"Fucking hell, what are you doing to scare the shit out of me," she tried to hold back her laughter but failed miserably,

"You said a naughty word Freddie," she teased

"I grew up with three older brothers, two of which swear an awful lot,"

"That's it blame someone else," she teased him, making her way around to his aisle, "are you nearly done?"

"Yeah, I just can't reach up there,"

"Really, you're that tall and can't reach," he rolled his eyes at her, she took the book from him, holding her arms out to be lifted up. He sighed, bending down he part her legs, letting her sit on his shoulders.

"Can you reach it?"

"A little to the left," he moved the left, holding her thighs tightly to prevent her from falling backwards, "Easy," he said, as she leaned over, nearly pulling him into the bookshelf.

"Sorry, there all done," he held her waist as she jumped down, "thanks, we're done Madam Pince,"

"And just in time too, you're free to go," they hurried out of the library, Fred opened the map, looking for the best route.

"This way," they ran along a hall, managing to slip through a secret passageway just before Mr Filch turned around the corner.

"Lumos" they cast giving them light in the dark hall, they made there through.

"I can barely see where I'm stepping," she almost tripped over some rubble on the floor, "it's like this place is falling apart,"

"Maybe that's why it's off limits," Fred said, she hurried to walk closer to him, he smirked down at her, "are you scared, little lion cub,"

"Hey, only my dad gets to call me that,"

"And only family can call me Freddie,"

"You like it when I call you that" he scoffed, she moved in front of him walking backwards so she could face him as they spoke, "I know you do,"

"I like how you think you have some sway over me,"

"I do Freddie," he tried to hide his smile when she said his name, he did like it when she called him that he liked it a little too much, "is it so bad that I call you-ahh,"

"Rhea!" he lunged forward grabbing her hand, as the floor caved under her feet, "are you okay?"

"I'm dangling from the floor what do you think?" he tried not to laugh failing miserably, "it's not funny,"

"I know sorry, just hold on,"

"What do you think I'm doing-

"For fuck sake, shut up," he said pulling her up, as carefully as he could. She held onto his arm with a firm grip as he pulled her up, she looked all around her feet. "Maybe we don't use this passageway again,"

"Deal, hurry before we're late,"

They ran as fast as they could careful not to step anywhere where the floor appeared fragile, hurried at the sight of light coming from around the corner. They jumped around hugging each other when they appeared on a field, in their sight, was the Quidditch Stadium.

They hurried still having time to try out for the team. They raced to the changing rooms, just before they entered she grabbed his robe, stopping him when she spotted George. He probably wouldn't let her forget it if he saw what she was about to do.

"What we're here now?"

"Thank you, for helping me," she spoke kindly, he softened his expression

"I wasn't about to let you fall, that drop could have killed you," she smiled at him, "I do care enough about you not to let you fall to your death," she chuckled

"Thank you for saving my life Freddie," she leaned up kissing his cheek, "I'll owe you one,"
