Aero sat in a large red chair in front of the fire place, one of her favorite places in the Gryffindor common room. She was curled up and talking to Angelina who sat in the chair next to hers. They talked about everything. Angelina had easily become her best friend. Angelina was a pretty cool girl. She sat there, talking on and on about Quidditch.

"…and Wood is being a tad overdramatic, don't you think? I mean, it's just Hufflepuff, we can take them no problem, it's Slytherin he should be-" she cut off abruptly, looking curiously over Aero's shoulder.

Aero turned around and came face to chest with a green striped shirt. She looked up and saw Fred grinning nervously down at her. She could tell he was nervous because his long fingers were drumming erratically against the side of his legs.

"Alright, Fred?" she asked.

"What? Oh, yeah, I'm alright. You?" he asked.

"Uhm, yeah I'm alright…" Aero said, tilting her head in confusion.

"Something you wanted to talk to Aero about, right mate?" George said, giving his twin a nudge as he came to stand beside him.

Harry watched from behind the twins. He watched with curiosity burning in his eyes behind the glasses. Ron and Hermione stood not too far away. Hermione, who had been buried in a book had peeked her head up to watch the scene. Ron was watching it like he was watching Quidditch match, his eyes zeroing in on Fred then Aero and back to Fred again.

Fred nodded his head eagerly and pulled Aero's hand, making her jump off the chair and he pulled her after him. They went to the other side of the room, ignored by most of the Gryffindor population. Fred looked down and started rubbing his hands on the side of his pants, like they were sweaty. He was shifting from foot to foot, making Aero feel anxious. Aero couldn't look at his face anymore; he looked like he was debating with himself and so she dipped her head down slightly to find a sudden interest in her shoes.

By doing so a strand of hair fell into Aero's face. Before she knew it a tentative hand reached out slowly, almost as if afraid any sudden movements would scare her away, and pushed the dark blue hair behind her ear. Aero felt herself blush and saw how annoying it was to be a metamorph when your emotions would change your appearance and give you away, when her nails changed to a fainted pink, resembling the blush on her cheeks.

Fred moved his hand gently down from her ear to her chin and raised it, looking her in the eye. A smile formed on his lips and Aero felt her heart squeeze.

"You're…beautiful when you blush you know. The color's good for you…" he chuckled.

Aero rolled her eyes and smiled. Fred gulped and his hand caressed down her chin to her neck, over her shoulder and down her arm until it grabbed her hand and laced their finger together.

Aero had turned to look down at their intertwined digits and then looked back up at him. He was at least a foot taller than her petite 4'8 now. He had filled out nicely, not too tall and he had some muscles forming from Quidditch. Aero watched them flex under his shirt and he moved his hand with hers.

"Aero, I…I…" he started and then closed his eyes and took a breath.

"You can say anything, you know that. I won't laugh or something…" she informed him.

Fred opened his eyes and smiled at her again. He gripped her hand and his other hand did the same thing as it grabbed hers.

"Aero Black…I like you. A lot. I've liked you since I first saw you. I've gotta admit, you intimidated me from the start, but you're truly amazing…I just…I really, really fancy you. I don't exactly know if you feel the same, but you don't hate me, and that's something…" he rambled.

"Fred…what are you asking me?" she whispered.

"I…uhm…I was wondering…if maybe you'd like to…I don't know…maybe go…out with me?" he asked, a small grin flashing his face and his blue eyes twinkled.

Aero felt her cheeks get hot again and she just simply nodded her head, not trusting herself to not stumble on her words. Fred grinned like a fool and grabbed her in a tight hug, just holding her tiny body to his. And it just felt…right.

They didn't release each other when they heard George hollering and making catcalls or Angelina's laughing. Aero had her head on Fred's chest and his arms tightened before slowly letting her go. He had a smile on his face and his hand found hers again as they walked towards their friends.

George was telling them all how he just knew they'd get together and how much of a fool Fred had been acting before he decided to ask her out. Angelina told them how Aero had no idea what was going on but she was "attracted" to him from the start, which made the new couple blush together, making everyone laugh.

"I knew you two would be together, you're perfect with him." Harry told her as Fred tackled George to the floor for saying some stupid joke, which George was still laughing about.

Aero turned to Harry and smiled. They had gotten close since he'd started school here. Harry was a good kid, so selfless and loyal. He was like her little brother now.

"You did, hm? Well…thank-you, Harry. I don't know about perfect but…" she laughed and shrugged, rolling her eyes.

Harry smiled and they watched Aero's boyfriend and his twin wrestle on the floor, just hoping they didn't roll into the fire. That'd be difficult to explain to Professor McGonagall…
