Prompt: Fred, George, and Ginny (plotting)


"That's when," Fred continued, booping Ginny on the nose with his index finger. "You come out. And you say to her, 'Didn't Fred win that snogging contest back in fourth year?'"

"No, no, she says that to me, in front of her," George corrected. "I'll say that it was me, of course."

"Won't work. Ginny's the only one that never mixes us up," Fred reminded him.

George grinned at him. "Besides Hermione."

Fred's answering smile was still cheeky, but a little sincerely exhilarated, too. "Besides Hermione," he agreed, his grin a little on the breathless side. "After that, you know, it should be a breeze."

"You could just ask her out, like a normal person," Ginny said, wryly.

The twins wore identical expressions of affront. "Just who do you think I am?" Fred demanded. "You have to spread a little good press, first. Soften them up."

"And you think winning a snogging contest is supposed to soften her up?" Ginny scoffed, incredulously. When Fred opened his mouth to respond, she flung her hand up to stop him. "Nope, no. I don't even need to hear your answer. This is, without a doubt, the stupidest plan you've ever had."

She glanced around the corner, finding Hermione's bushy head hunched over a book. She turned back to her brothers. "Of course I'm in."
