Chapter two: The stuff of Nightmares

A few days later, after their secret liaison in the forest, both Keilana and Fred were sitting in Potions class, when George noticed the looks they were giving each other. After a few minutes of observing he whispered to Fred, “Why don’t you ask her out? It's kinda obvious you like her.”

Fred smiled. He and Keilana had agreed to keep it hidden from everyone until the year was over, but he didn't think that included his brother. They were like one person anyway so he was sure she wouldn't mind. Before he got the chance to answer his brother, Professor Snape interjected, “there will be no talking in my class.”

Keilana looked over, smiled then continued on with her studying. When class was over, George pulled his brother aside to finish their conversation that Professor Snape so rudely interrupted.

“So come on then, are you gonna ask her out or not?”

Fred smiled again, “I don’t need to ask her out... when we're already together.”

George hugged his brother. “Nicely done! So come on then I want to hear details. How did it happen? Who asked who? When?”

Fred pulled George to the side while casting a silence charm around them, “calm down you sound like a right girl! Keikei asked me to meet her at the spot where we camped out last year then just kissed me. I was really surprised. I mean come on, never in my wildest dreams did I think one of my best friends would wanna date me. But promise me this stays between us, we're keeping it quiet for now.”

George winked, “Keikei eh? Gotcha.”

Fred blushed before shoving his brother playfully towards the common room. Keilana was already in the common room talking to a couple of girls near the fireplace. As they exchanged glances, Fred's heart skipped a beat. Never in his life had he met anyone, except his brother, who shared his love of pranks and who he felt completely at ease around. Sure she had her flaws. She was very hot headed and anyone who bore the brunt of it never forgot who they messed with, she was also rather clumsy; tripping over the smallest little thing that would set anyone around her off into hysterics. But the most endearing flaw, one that drew Fred to her was her insecurity. He would observe her when he knew she wasn't looking. She would always keep to herself unless she was around her fellow Gryffindors, but even then there was a sense of her constantly being on edge; like she was waiting for the entire world to crumble around her. Something had happened in her life that had made Keilana so scared of losing the people she cared about. Fred has no idea what it was but he knew sooner or later he would find out.

Over the next few weeks, Keilana and Fred grew closer, while George kept a close eye on them. If anyone became suspicious George would deflect them by saying that they were working on some huge prank for the end of the year.

By the time winter came around, the pair were sneaking off to Hogsmeade every weekend to spent some time alone together. Being surrounded by people with whom they couldn't share their secret yet was getting to them. They knew it was for the best but there was still a part of them that wished they could share their relationship with their friends and families.

“Fred, I know we agreed to keep this a secret from everyone but maybe now it's time we start telling people we are closest to. Like your family and mine.”

Fred knew how she felt. He too had been thinking the same thing for a while.

“I think your right Keikei. I have an idea. Would you like to spend Christmas with my family?”

Keilana smiled. She felt so honoured that he had asked her, she completely forgot to answer.

“Hello? Keikei?” Giggling, Fred waved his hand in front of her face.

Snapping back to reality she answered, “I'd love to!” She flung her arms around him and passionately kissed him.

“Ooh Fred, can we go to Honeydukes? I really fancy some Cauldron Cakes.”

“I think that can be arranged,” he smiled, “on the agreement that we can go to Zonko's on the way back.” Keilana nodded. She knew that there was no way that Fred was going to come to Hogsmede and not go to Zonko's. That would be unheard of. Inside Honeydukes, Keilana's eyes widened. She hadn't eaten for a while and because of her sweet tooth she wanted one of everything. She picked up six Cauldron Cakes, some Liquorice Wands and a couple of cans of Pumpkin Fizz. The wizard who served her smiled as he took her galleons, then wished her and her friend a good day. By the time they made it to Zonko's it was shut. Fred sighed, a little disheartened. “Shall we make our way back? It looks like it will be getting dark soon and we don’t want people getting suspicious,” Fred took her hand and gestured the way back to the castle. Keilana nodded. She wished the day hadn't have passed so quickly but it couldn't be helped. As they made their way back through the snow to Hogwarts, they stopped occasionally to kiss before giggling, throwing some snowballs at each other and then carrying on. Fred though this was a good time to have a private talk that he was sure no one would be able to hear.

“Keikei? Can I ask you something?”

“Sure, what is it?”

Fred Knew he had to tread carefully. He wanted her to open up, but if he phrased it in the wrong way she would close up and he would have lost his chance to gain insight into the core of her.

Fred took a deep intake of breath, “I have noticed that even now, when we have been together for a few months that there is something that makes you uneasy around me. I wondered if there was anything I could do to help?”

Keilana was shocked. This was definitely not the Fred Weasley anyone at school was used to seeing. She knew one day this question would come up and she would have to answer it but she didn't think it would take this long for him to ask.

Keilana tightened her grip on Fred's hand as she answered. This wasn’t going to be easy for her to talk about but she knew that if their relationship was to stay strong, she needed to have everything out in the open.

“I used to have a little sister, Riley. My parents doted on her. She was the beautiful one, the smart one, the kind one basically everything my parents thought I wasn't. We were out one day in a park and I was supposed to be looking after her. I only looked away for a split second but when I turned back round she was gone. I called out to her but she didn't answer. I kept looking and then I saw a group of people huddled near the river bank. It wasn’t until I saw Riley's shoes that I realised what was going on. I ran over but it was too late. In the time that she gone from my side she had fallen into the river and drowned. She was only 3 she couldn't swim. My parents have never looked at me in the same way since. I know it's my fault I should have kept a closer eye on her...” Keilana started to break down. Fred held her tightly. “Hey, it's Ok.” he kissed her forehead. Keilana kept sobbing. “I vowed from the day of her funeral I would never let anyone close enough to me that I would ever feel that lonely again... but then I met you and something inside me changed, that's why I made the effort.”

Fred tried to calm her down. “From what you have said, what happened was a tragic accident, you weren't to blame.”

Keilana wiped her tears away with her sleeve. “I have tried to be the daughter my parents wanted but I could never live up to what they knew she would be.”

“I'm sure your parents are proud of the beautiful, smart daughter they still have. Riley will always be in their minds but I'm sure that Riley and your parents want you to have a happy life and be the best you can be.”

Keilana smiled slightly. Fred was much more than just a prankster. He was kind and loving too. “So you don't hate me then?”

“Don't be daft. Nothing you say or do will ever stop me from feeling the way I do about you.”

It was nightfall by the time the pair returned. The moonlight was reflecting off the pure white snow making it glisten like tiny crystals. Keilana stopped dead a few moments before they entered the secret passage from which they left.

Something or someone was lurking in the shadows watching them, she was sure of it.

“Keikei? What's wrong?” He turned her round to face him. All the colour had drained from her face and she was staring blankly into the gloomy darkness. Fred slightly shook her to shift her concentration back to him. “Keilana?”

Before she snapped out of it, Keilana saw a pair of bright green eyes flash amongst the shadows before disappearing again. She quickly shook her head to get herself back into focus before looking Fred in the eyes, “I'm fine, honestly. Let's get back or we will miss dinner.” With that she pulled him into the passage way and the pair made their way to the Great Hall.

That night in bed, Keilana was plagued by what she had seen earlier. Those piercing green eyes were ingrained in her memory and didn't show any signs of letting her dream of anything other than terrifying scenarios which ended up in either losing her life, or Fred losing his. Each time it would be in a more horrific but different way, however always the same green eyes staring back at her.

Something was trying to get her attention; possibly even hurt her and Fred, and she wasn’t going to give in until she knew what it was.
