FRED'S POV
I felt bad when Snape gave her detention and everything that followed made it even worse. I didn't know these sweets would have such an effect. Y/N cut her hand when falling down, but she didn't even seem to notice. Everyone was laughing at her and I immediately regretted what I had done. She didn't want to take those sweets when I asked her, because she knew what would happen, but I did it anyway. I started to panic and quickly hopped over the table to where she sat on the ground.
"Hello you", she said and smiled one of those goofy smiles she sometimes had. I couldn't help but find it endearing, even though I was probably going to wish this had never happened.
"Let's get you up, okay?" I said and took her arms, pulling her up.
"Whoo the ground is upside down", she mumbled and fell into my arms. I saw Dumbledore walking up to us from the corner of my eyes, so I quickly grabbed her legs and carried her out of the Great Hall. People were still laughing at her. She was a laughing stock, because of me. My heart ached.
Angelina followed me and we quickly took her to Madame Pomfrey, who looked rather confused at the state Y/N was in. She kept on rambling about little glittery piggies in the sky. I really hoped she wouldn't hate me for this.
"Sedation, huh? Another one of your inventions?" Madame Pomfrey said and raised an eyebrow. I awkwardly smiled and put Y/N down on one of the hospital beds.
"Get out of here, you two. I'll get her fixed", she said and motioned to the door. I took a quick breath and left. I thought it wouldn't be as bad as this, that it would just be funny, for her as well, but it wasn't. The look Angelina threw me gave away as much.
YOUR POV
I woke up with a bit of a headache. It was as if there was a cloud of fog in my brain, blocking me from using some parts of it. What time was it? What day was it even? And how didn't I have any idea how I got here? The last thing I remember vaguely is walking to supper. What was going on?
"I see the sweets have worn off", Madame Pomfrey said and appeared next to me.
"Sweets?" I asked and she chuckled bitterly.
"You don't remember? You tried the Sedation Sweets of your twin friends. Let's say they definitely work", she said, not looking too pleased. I tried their sweets? I would never do that. The only thing I had eaten before supper was ... Fred's cake. A lump formed in my throat and I struggled with breathing. Did he put Sedation Sweets in the cake, just to get me to eat them? Fred wouldn't do that, right? I mean, he swore to me he wouldn't. A tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away as I heard the door open.
"Miss Y/L/N, I see that you're feeling better", I heard. Professor Dumbledore walked up to me.
"Professor, is everything okay?" I asked and he chuckled.
"Of course. I just thought I'd check up on you after the show you gave yesterday", he said and my eyes widened.
"Show?" I asked shyly. He chuckled again and sat down on the edge of my bed.
"It was very amusing, don't get me wrong, but you did get yourself a week of detention for telling professor Snape to - How was it again? - Get that stick out of his arse", he said. I gasped at the thought. I would never do that.
"I suspect you have no recollection of what happened?" he asked and I shook my head, still in shock.
"Did you take those sweets from the Weasleys willingly?" he asked and I sighed. I didn't feel like ratting them out, because I knew they'd get into trouble, but after what they'd done to me ... On the other hand, I didn't know how involved George was and after the favor he did for me on the Yule Ball ...
"Yeah, I did", I said eventually.
"Well, then let this be a lesson. Those two are never up to any good. Just don't be surprised if you get some strange looks today. We don't hear people scream about flying pigs everyday", he said and stood up.
"I'll let your friends in. They've been waiting here all morning. But first, I'll have a word with the twins myself." Dumbledore walked away and I could die of shame. I felt so embarrassed and I couldn't even help it. This is exactly why I didn't want to take those sweets. I still couldn't believe that Fred would do that anyway, but he did. He acted as if he was being friendly when he was just using me as a lab rat. I pushed away the feeling of heartache as Angelina, Alicia, Lee and Katie walked in.
"Oh Merlin, Y/N, are you okay?" Katie asked and I nodded. "We were so worried. You gave us quite the shock yesterday."
"I swear we'll get back at the twins for this", Angelina said, looking pissed. At least I wasn't the only one who was feeling this way. The anger was subsiding though, leaving me feeling sad and empty, still in disbelief.
"Can you tell me exactly what happened?" I asked as I noticed the bandage around my hand.
"You sure?" Alicia asked and I nodded, even though I didn't really want to. So they explained to me everything I had done and said and I got more embarrassed by the second. I couldn't believe I did all of that, just because of some stupid piece of cake. I couldn't get any words out afterwards and the girls and Lee looked at me worryingly.
"Are you okay?" Lee asked and I took a deep breath to avoid my eyes from tearing up.
"I'd just like to be alone for a bit", I said and they all shared worried looks.
"Sure, we'll be in the common room when you need us", Alicia said and they left. As soon as the doors closed behind them, tears started spilling and I pulled up my legs, resting my head on my knees. Why would he do this? I made a complete fool out of myself in front of every student and teacher at Hogwarts and I couldn't do anything about it. And all that caused by the one guy I was madly in love with. My heart ached and I felt so lonely. I needed a mum to go to. Someone who would just be there with me and support me. But she wasn't here and she would never be here again.
My breath started shaking and my head was pounding. I just laid down and cried myself to sleep again.
A couple hours later, when everyone was at supper, I sneaked back to the common room. Madame Pomfrey had given me some food, since I wasn't keen on the idea of returning to an entirely filled Great Hall with people who heard me screaming about fighting with air. I took a blanket and a book of Roman Mythology and made my way over to my dorm room. I just wanted today to be over, but I couldn't possibly sleep anymore, so I just read for a while, until the girls came back.
"Oh Y/N, I didn't know you were back already! How are you?" Katie said when they walked in and they all sat down on my bed.
"I'm fine", I said, but I couldn't get it to sound genuine.
"We would tell you what the twins think about the situation, but we've professionally ignored them since last night", Alicia said proud.
"Cedric got super mad at Fred, though. I was sure he was going to hit him in the face, but he didn't", Katie added. "Unfortunately. He gave him the lecture of a lifetime though. He told him that he didn't deserve you and that he quickly had to learn what respect was and all that. It was epic."
"It's all good, really", I mumbled and looked down.
"Y/N, it's okay to feel sad and angry. Just don't shut us out, not like last time", Angelina said, referring to the Yule Ball. She still felt bad about going with Fred.
I took a deep breath. "I just didn't expect him to do this. He promised me he wouldn't."
"He did?"
"Yeah, a couple weeks ago. I just don't understand why he thought it would be a good idea."
"Maybe you should talk to him about it?" Angelina squeezed my hand slightly.
"Maybe tomorrow, I don't feel like seeing him at all right now."
"Well, we're not going to mope around all evening. What do you girls think about a little spa and gossip night?" Katie offered and I smiled. As much as I wasn't a pleasant person to be around right now, I could use the distraction.
FRED'S POV
I was so nervous. I hadn't seen Y/N since everything happened. The girls wouldn't even let me visit her when she was in the hospital wing. Everyone was angry at me and Y/N was probably too. The girls wouldn't talk to me, Hermione had been lecturing me for days and don't even get me started on Pretty Boy Diggory. I knew that what I did was wrong, but everything would be alright once I apologized, right? George was trying to take the blame for everything, but he was the one who advised me not to do it. I convinced him to go through with it, because "Y/N would find it funny too". I knew she wouldn't. Why did I push it?
I had to wait until the morning two days after the incident though, since I missed her coming back from the hospital wing. All four girls came down from their dorms and passed us without looking. Y/N did glance at me shortly, but before I could say anything, she had left with the others.
"You're in big trouble my friend", Lee said and padded my shoulder. I rubbed my face and sighed. Why do I always get myself into situations like these?
I tried following her, but she found Cedric and walked with him to class. There was no way I'd be able to talk to her with him around.
YOUR POV
My heart was pounding as I knocked on the door of Snape's office.
"Enter", he mumbled and I pushed open the heavy door. I took a deep breath and walked to the desk he was sitting at.
"Miss Y/L/N, I've been expecting you", Snape said without looking up as I came to a halt.
"I think I owe you an apology", I said with a shaking voice. This man still gave me the creeps.
"You think?" he said and looked up. He was angry.
"I mean, I know I do, I'm sorry. I was not in control of myself and I would never, ever say the things I said in normal circumstances."
"Ten hours of detention, starting in an hour. Two hours a day for the rest of the week. Now get out of my sight."
I nodded quickly and then walked out as fast as I could. Ten hours of detention, how wonderful.
