'Good work today.'
Hermione chuckled when she saw the sign and the grin behind it. She grabbed her notepad.
'Thanks. Same to you.'
'We make a really good team.'
'In more ways than one.'
'Flirting?'
'Duh!'
'Just checking.'
Hermione laughed.
'You always make me laugh.'
'Jolly good.'
'If I ask you something
'do you promise
'to not kill me?'
'Depends Freddie.'
'On what?'
'On what it is. Idiot.'
She saw Fred trying to build himself up to something. Eventually, and knowing what he was about to ask, she decided to take pity on him.
'I can't take it anymore.'
'Huh?'
'Wanna go out with me?'
Fred's eyes almost fell out of his head.
'You stole my thunder!'
'Ok fine. You ask it.'
'Moment's over.'
'Btw I didn't get an answer.'
'Marry me.'
'Say what now?'
'You heard.'
'Read, actually.'
'Ok, sure, get technical.'
'Ask me again in a few months.'
'You'll say yes?'
'I'll think about it.'
'Tease.'
'You know it.'
'Will you go out with me?'
'Eh sure, nothing better to do.'
'Sure you're not a Slytherin?'
'Yeah, and if you use that come on again you will get hexed.'
'What come on?'
'You know the one I mean.'
'Oh you mean…'
'Don't!'
'Can I Slytherin with you tonight?'
'That's IT!'
Light flashed. Window pane smashed. Fred eventually picked himself up off the floor.
'Ow!'
'Want me to kiss it better?'
'Yes, please.'
'Then take me on a date first.'
'You're so mean!'
'Don't worry…
'You'll get to Slytherin soon enough.'
'I'm so proud of you.'
