AN: So I realised I don't have a place for fluff - I don't write that much outside of my dramione collection anyway - so here we are! I don't think I'm the best at fluff, but I have decided that this year I shall challenge myself as a writer and broaden my horizens more - starting with a collection of fluff!

Dinner Plans

"Aw, c'mon Hermione!" Fred moaned as he leant over the couch to kiss his fiancée.

"Fred, I'm not putting it down, not when it's just reached such a pivotal moment…"Hermione argued, not taking her eyes off the book in her hands.

"But Hermioneeeeee…"

"No!"

This argument had been going on for over half an hour, Fred was trying to get her to go out to dinner with him but she just wouldn't stop reading. Fred supposed it was his fault, he had got her that bloody series of books for her birthday after all, but he didn't think fictional life should overtake her real one.

"That's it!" Fred exclaimed, snatching the book out of her hands and holding it out of her reach.

"Fred Weasley!" Hermione shouted at him, both annoyed at him for taking the book and a little amused at how long it had taken him to do it. In truth she hadn't been paying much attention to the book since the argument started and she would have to read it again, but she wasn't about to let Fred know that, "You give me back my book!"

"Not until you come to dinner with me, darling!" he replied in an overly sweet sing-song voice, dancing out of the way of her arms as she came for the book.

Hermione just continued trying to get the book, she gave him ten more minutes until he gave up and if he hadn't given up by then she would go to dinner.

They continued their routine, Fred even going so far as to put music on and twirl Hermione as if they really were dancing, for another 9 and a half minutes until Fred looked like he was ready to give up. Hermione smirked, sure she had won, until Fred leaped away again and ended up stood in the middle of the table looking down on her.

"Oh, sweet maiden, do you really think I would give up my hopes and dreams that easily?" he called down to her, "I know your tricks, you little witch, and you shall not catch me out that easily. Now off to the bedroom with you to put on your finest frock, and if you're not changed in five minutes then I'll just have to undress you myself!"

Hermione giggled as Fred descended from the table, spinning her into his arms and planting a kiss on her forehead.

"I mean it," he told her with a wink, "if you aren't changed in 5 minutes I doubt we'll ever have this dinner."
