it's a brother/sister thing (FRED)

[adge]

When people first met Roxanne, they usually didn't even have to ask her last name to know what fmaily she came from. Although she may not look like your typical Weasley, note the lack of red hair and freckles, but she sure as heck made up for it by acting like one! People told her she was just like her father, and they didn't always mean it in a good way.

Yes, she was George Weasley's daughter. One third of the twins' legacy that now attended Hogwarts. And she worked hard to maintain, and live up to that legacy. Although she had been warned by her mother and grandmum that if she ever attempted to out do the twins' most famouse act, the leaving of Hogwarts, she would be burried out in the backyard.

Roxy loved her family. But sometimes having a large family, that consisted of many older over protective guy cousins (and one brother), could be a major downer. She had never really had a boyfriend, partially due to her tomboyish nature at times, but mostly due to the continual threats uttered by her family members to any member of the male species that came within ten feet of her.

It could turn into a bloody anoyance at times. So she often escaped out to the grounds of Hogwarts. Sometimes looking for new insperation for pranks, and sometimes just to think. This was one of the times to think. So she was sitting against a large tree on the edge of the Black Lake, deep in thought. She hadn't really seen any of her family all day, and while that was strange and unusual, right now it felt kind of nice. Leaning back further she let her self space out on the rippling lake surface, broken every now and then by the tentacle of the giant squid.

Fred had just finished the special fireworks for his little sister. He hadn't seen her lately but some of his family had told him she was by the lake and he figured that today wasn't a pranking day. She was thinking and Fred was going to make her smile. He always did when she needed it. He smiled as he held onto the fireworks and got his broom. He smiled and mounted his broom and zoom he was in the air. Where he felt the most at home he smiled as he took in the feeling. But he remembered what he was going to do.

He took off quickly toward the lake. Evan from the distance he say his little sister Roxy. He flew up into the clouds and was right over the lake still unseen he dropped all the fire works and they all exploded right above the lake. That read, ROXY WEASLEY THE SECOND GREATEST PRANKSTER AT HOGWARTS TIED WITH HER LOVELY BROTHER!!!!! Fred smiled and did her favorite broom trick though he wasn't paying attention and flew threw a cloud of smoke and crash landed next to his sister.

He coughed a bit and looked up at his sister. " Hello my little sister. Talk about making an entrance huh? Oh and this is for you I know you love flowers oh so much. " Fred gave her his brotherly smile and handed a black rose over to her. He looked at it a minuet and rolled his eyes. " I swear it was red when I got it. Never can keep them the right color cans I what was the last one I gave you Green? No Orange? Purple maybe? "

Fred sat up and brushed himself off. He looked at the lake and said. " Getting better at that long lasting firework huh? ” He looked at his little sister and pulled her into one of their big bear hugs. He knew she was thinking down here today. Though he didn't want to disturb her he was going to let her talk stuff out with him. Something they had done since they were little.

He looked down at the brown hair honey eyed sister. He smiled again and let her go. He sat down and asked in a more serious voice. " What is it that has got my lovely little sister out here on this nice day at hogwarts. Not hanging with friends not with family? What's going on in your mind and don't say nothing I know you to well for that Roxy Weasley "

He looked over at her his gold eye looking into her honey eyes. He would do anything for his sister and anybody hurt her they would answer to him. That conversation would not be a good one.

As Roxy lay back against the tree she really wasn't paying attention to much, just letting herself soak up the sun. But her restful relaxation was soon broken by loud bangs, crashes and whistles from above her. Sprining up she looked towards teh sky to see a message written in fireworks, Only tied? she thought to herself smirking and raising an eyebrow as she saw her dear brother flying through the air.

"I should ask if you're ok, but you deserved it for not paying attention!" she told him as he landed beside her looking a little dazed, she was a tad sore she'd been woken up so loudly. But her momentary anger was immediately washed away as he held out a black rose, "The last was most definately green dear brother of mine, but at least this one looks pretty!" she tol dhim laughing and taking the flower.

Even though she'd partially come out here to get away from her family it was imposible for her to not be happy when her brother was around... ok well that depended on the situation. She was soon surprised by a bone crushing, bear hug. She loved their bear hugs, they often ended up with him picking her up and spinning her around, usually when they were drunk.

"I don't supose I could convince you that I'm just out here to enjoy the weather?" she asked him, not holding out much hope. As he soon said himself, he knew her too well as she did him. Sighing she settled herself back against the tree trunk trying to decide what to tell him.

Looking over at her big brother she had to admit he was a fairly good looking guy, and even though they didn't overly look alike their personalities were almost spot on. "Well I was trying to sort through my life really. Figure out what I wanna do after school, where I wanna go, and also thinking about the fact that I'm virtually undateable in the eyes of the male student body!" she finally huffed out. Crossing her arms she stared out at the lake, now back in her earlier sour mood.

Fred looked at his sister and understood about what she was thinking about. He too often pondered what he was to do after Hogwarts. He smiled as he was proud of his sister's talents her smarts. He knew that it was a serious matter that he could only joke around so much. He still had a small smile on his face as he looked at his little sister. She wasn't so little anymore to him she would always be his baby sister. But he also knew that he should learn to let her grow up as well. Which he hated admitting. "Roxy I sadly know what you mean. But you shouldn't ponder that so much. You are smarter than smart in all subjects here. But you also aren't afraid to take a risk either. For your future don't decide what you want. because that takes you somewhere you might not love at all. I say instead of going where you want and thinking about it. Because sometimes our minds are wrong. follow your heart that makes no wrong choice only feels what is right and what is wrong. Lets you feel love and hate. Pain and joy. It is never wrong Roxy never.

Fred looked over at the lake and leaned back on his hands. He looked down and rubbed the back of his head and made and irritated noise. " Roxy you know how protective I am of you. I wont even let family touch you some days. But I do admit I'm a bit over protective. which probably doesn't help with your dating life. But I am not okay with the fact that someone hurts you. Guys can be jerks and I am not okay if anyone hurts you. Your my sister and sadly. When you were born i got the responsibility of watching over you and killing the creeps that hurt you is a big part of my job. I will try and back off a bit and I will send word to every guy in our family to stand down as well. but you can't date him till i approve. Deal? I will try really hard to be accepting but seriously Roxy you know its hard for me to accept that you can date now and you are my little baby pranking sister anymore. I mean you might not need me anymore and believe it or not that kind of scares me.

Fred looked at his sister with soft eyes for a moment. But put on his tough exterior and looked over at the lake he didn't say another word just looked out at the land scarping. He waited a moment and then looked down. He hated lecturing his little sister but he was trying to give her advice and explain to her why he was so protective. "Roxy you are the girl that every guy dreams of. The girl that is smart, the girl that is drop dead gorgeous, the girl that can be all dressed up in a dress and what ever else you girls wear hey i don't know it all and believe me i don't want to. But makes you even prettier but will hope on a broom and fly circles around guys. Roxy every guys dream girl right there." He knew that any guy would drop dead for her and he didn't want them to hurt her.

He hated telling this to Roxy because now she knew that even though he teased her and pushed her around how much he actually loved his sister. He looked up at her and smiled and said "Yes I got mushy on you but your a girl my little sister and I can cause I'm your older brother making sure that no creep hurts you." he looked down then at the lake waiting for Roxy to say something.

As Fred began lecturin her about her statement Roxy almost began to tune him out, but then she realized something; he was actually giving her really good advice. She'd always known her brother was an awesome guy, and that he really was supportive of her, but she never knew he felt like this about her. Slightly in shock she sat back and let him get it all out.

"Fred, you know i would never let a guy hurt me. And if he did i'd kick his arse." she told him raising an eyebrow,but then she softened a bit "But I really do appreciate you protecting me, seriously. And it's not entirely your fault that guys don't try for me. It's mostly mine because i'm terrible at making a move, or seeming interested. Vic told me once that guys were intimidated by me actually."

It was the truth, her big cousin Victoire often gave her advice on guys, especially to tone everything down a bit, which was a lost cause when it came to Roxy. SHe noticed Fred put on his tough guy face, which almost made her laugh, but then he continued to talk. As she listened tears started to form in her eyes. It wasn't often her big, tough brother would compliment her, let alone to this extent. After he admitted to getting mushy ROxy didn't know what to say, so instead she just threw her arms around him in a big hug, "You're the best big brother i could ever ask for. Thank you." she told him, still hugging him.

Fred first surprised by his little sister's hug he didn't comprehend her words at first. Once he did he smiled and hugged his sister back. He didn't let her go for a while though she put on a hard tough exterior Fred knew better than to believe that. He knew under all of her toughness was his little sister that was sensitive. He pulled her back and smiled down at her as he said. " Roxy I know that you are tough and that you can take care of yourself. But to me like I said before you are my baby sister no matter what you do I will try and murder any guy that you are with whether I like them or not. I have grown up with you and day in and day out I have protected you and I am not ever going to stop that. So in other words you aren't off the hook but I do agree I will try to back off some and let you grow up. By the way you are also the best little sister I could have hopped for."

He looked down and then kissed his little sister's forehead. He ran a hand through his hair. He was never good at getting super deep around anyone. In fact most cases he just tried not to just because he wasn't great at saying how he felt. But he figured that it was just a guy thing. He Looked at Roxy with a raised eyebrow. " We are really going to have to keep you from out dear cousin Vic. She shouldn’t be pushing you into relations with guys by telling you are intimidating. I prefer it that way. All those years of getting you to be like me and now she tells you not to be. Ah she seriously needs to see that the guys in the family don't want to see their girls go out and have to deal with guys breaking their hearts. "

He had a plotting look on his face he was going to need to talk to his dear older cousin. Vic but not about telling her to stop giving Roxy advice he actually preferred Roxy went to get advice from her. He closed his eyes and smiled over at his little sister. He hated when he knew she was right. But at the same time he didn't want to let go of the fact that Roxy didn't need him anymore. He leaned back against the tree again and looked at Roxy.

He looked at her and couldn't help but ask. " Why Roxy? Why do you want to date anyway? It's not fun always. Sometimes it just hurts everyone it's not fun Roxy people get hurt. I don't want you to feel that pain. Not to say you aren't strong but that kind of pain hurts no matter your strength."

He looked at his little sister and waited quietly.
