So here is the starts of a new story. I don't know how long it's going to be or how long it will take to write, but I do plan on finishing it, so just bear with me. The title of this story came from a story I read in school "The Wooing of Ariadne" So I hope you like it.

P.S. I own nothing. That should go without saying, but I have to put it anyway.

P.P.S. Please Review. Reviews make me happy. :)

Chapter One: The Catch

Fred Weasley II had a problem. It was a big problem in his eyes, and he didn't know how to handle it. See, Fred had a crush on a certain blonde-haired, grey-eyed Slytherin. Fred had a crush on Scorpius Malfoy. But as far as Fred knew, Scorpius didn't even know he existed. Well that was all about to change. Fred was going to make sure Scorpius knew he was there. And Fred was going to get the guy he wanted, no matter what it took.

He started out in the library. Fred found Scorpius sitting in a corner, getting frustrated with his homework. Fred walked over tentatively and sat down, "Need some help?" Fred asked, eyeing Scorpius' homework.

Scorpius looked up and shrugged, "Are you offering to help, Weasley?"

Fred nodded, "Transfiguration? Easy." He flashed a charming smile and looked at the homework again.

"Then explain this to me," Scorpius sighed, pushing the parchment and book towards Fred who took it and read it over.

Fred smiled, "What do I get in return for helping you?"

Scorpius rolled his eyes, "Should have known there'd be a catch."

Fred chuckled, "Of course there's a catch. Do you think I'd help an underclassman without a catch?"

"Okay, what do you want in return?" Scorpius asked, sitting back in his chair.

Fred grinned mischievously, "I'll get back to you on that." He knew exactly how he was going to use that payback. He just had to find the perfect time.

So I know this first chapter isn't very long, but I hope it comes along like I want. So hopefully they'll get longer. Please review! xD
