I would just like to make a shout out to my bestie, Vataelia Kveykva! She has been so supporting in this story, she has probably proofread all of these chapters! Love ya, Moony!

"So, I told you what I want to be, you have to tell me," he said. The girl beside him glanced over at him, her blonde hair falling in her face. "Owning a joke shop isn't really a career goal," she pointed out, trying to change the subject. He laughed.
"You sound like Mum. Come on, Star, just tell me," he begged. She lay back against the cool grass. I want to, but you're not gonna just believe that I just have one thing in mind, she thought. Honestly, she was embarrassed about what she wanted. The people that found out normally made fun of her.
"Well…I want to be an Auror," she offered. Please don't ask me anything else, please don't ask me anything else, she pleaded silently. He rolled over to look at her. "An Auror?" he questioned. She nodded mutely, playing with a blade of grass.
"That's it? Come on, there has to be something else you want to do," he urged. "But if you say you want to work at the Ministry, I might just have to strangle you." She laughed. I really hate telling people, but…he won't laugh…will he?
She turned to face him, brushing the hair out of her face. "Well, there is something…" she started. He looked her expectantly. "Never mind," she said quickly. He sighed.
"Come on, Star. Please? For me?" he pleaded. She shook her head. "No, you'll only laugh at me," she insisted. He sat up and looked down at her.
"No, I won't. I promise. Please tell me," he begged. Star sat up and crossed her arms across her chest. "Fred, I said no!" He grinned, a mischievous light in his eyes. Uh, oh. What is he thinking? Star thought.
"Then I guess I'll just have to force it out of you," he threatened playfully. Star sat bolt upright, a shocked expression on her face. He wouldn't! "You wouldn't," she gasped. He grinned playfully. Star leaped up and started backing away. Fred smirked and chased after her.
She squealed and ran away. Fred tackled her to the ground and started tickling her. She tried to push him away, but she was laughing too hard to do anything. "Fred…stop...I'll…tell…you…" she choked out. He smiled and rolled over on his back.
"I thought that would be your answer," he laughed. Star sat up to catch her breath. She hesitated before taking a deep breath.
"I want to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," she blurted out. She waited for a second to see what Fred would say. When it was silent, she tensed up. I knew this would happen. Any moment he'll start laughing. When it still was quiet, she glanced over at him.
He just lay there, staring at her, his expression unreadable. "Well?" she prompted. He sat up and looked at her. "Really?" he asked. She nodded timidly. He smiled. "That would be so cool!" She stared at him in shock.
"You really think so?" she questioned. Fred nodded. "Yeah! I mean, it would be a little weird teaching your friend's kids, but hey, whatever floats your boat," he shrugged. Star smiled brightly. He didn't think was stupid!
She pulled Fred closer and pressed her lips against hers. He wrapped her arms around her waist for a minute before he broke apart. "What was that for?" he asked. She smiled broadly. "To thank you for not laughing at me," she stated simply.
He grinned and pulled her closer. "Then don't let me interrupt the thanks," he smiled. He pulled her back to him, their lips meeting again.
Please R&R!!!
