AUTHOR NOTE – PLEASE READ.
Omg, third time posting this chapter, this have got to be the last time. 1 time; real publish of chapter. 2; lack of reviews. 3 time; Spotted something I had to do over. So sorry to you who have read it, but maybe you'd like to read it again, I don't know. Remember to review!
'I have reposted this chapter because I didn't get as many reviews as I had hoped by the last time, only one review, (thanks to Moonlight Calls for that) I would however really appreciate it if I could get a little more than just one.
"Finally! I'm finally done! This chapter is a Third-Person-View, but both from Hermione's side and Fred's side about how they think and so on. So, the about the date is going to be split up into three parts, this is of course the first part and the next will be up as soon as I'm done writing it. I've also decided to make the story a bit longer than what I intended to because what I was thinking before was too short to happen and so I'm gonna put more in the story. The story is also now going to change from POV's, but you'll see how that is going to work.
I am so sorry that it took so long, but I've been so stuck that I barely could write one page before I went blank. From now on, each chapter will be mostly about 1000 words, I know it's not a lot but sometimes there might be a little more, but that's how it's going to be.
Anyway, I will let you read on, and enjoy the chapter!"'
To make sure no muggles saw them apparate, and maybe get a heart attack with seeing someone appear out of the thin air, Fred had managed to found an ally to apparate the two in, a few feet away from the restaurant and out of sight for anyone to see them come. As soon as the two were firmly on the ground and the contents in their stomach didn't threaten to escape did Fred look around to see where they in fact where. Of course he knew where they were, but he hadn't been to that area and had to make sure it was as safe as he had thought it to be before they could leave the ally. The ally was small; barely enough room for the two of them to stand beside each other without being pressed together and squashed up against the wall, but at least none saw them. And Fred really didn't mind being that close to Hermione.
"Well here we are" Fred said, grinning from ear to ear as Hermione took along around her, turning back to him after a minute with a frown on her face. "Are we going to eat in a ally?" she asked, quirking an eyebrow up at the redhead. He chuckled and shook his head, "The brightest witch of her age" he joked as he took her hand and led her out of the ally into the streets of muggle London. People were walking around them; none of them seeming to notice the two well dressed up young people walk out of an ally and just walked past them like they weren't there. "Well here we are" Fred exclaimed, throwing his arms open wide as he presented the street for Hermione who merely rolled her eyes and yanked the man with her, even though she had no idea where they were going to. Apparently Fred didn't mind being dragged by her and neither did he speak up about she was going to the wrong way or she was crumpling his shirt, he just let her drag him around.
"Hermione, it's in there" he finally spoke up after a short while of walking, looking around the different stores that still were open, some of them were starting to pack down to close down but had trouble getting the people to leave the store. She stopped and looked around her, there were around them, three restaurants, all of them looking quiet fancy and she wondered if Fred had gone to much out of it but before she could say anything, the ginger was already walking towards one of them, pointing at it as he took her arm when he noticed she wasn't following him and took her with him. When they were about three feet away from it, he let go of her arm and sprang in front of her, opening the down and bowing gracefully at the waist, "After you!" she giggled and thanked him before walking inside, stopping at the door to wait for him to come in as well, he straightened himself and his shirt before he joined her inside.
As the two entered the restaurant they instantly was met with soft music flowing through the room, the rooms guests chatting quietly at the tables spread around the room whilst eating their meal, looking content. The room wasn't overly big but there was at least 15 tables in the room, all of them a golden color, all sizes for 2, 4 or 6 to eat at them, enough room between them but also some away from others, to have some privacy. Live candles glowing, two of them sat on each table, two sizes and a crème white color. The walls were a nice forest green, going well with dark brown wooden floor beneath their feet, furniture. There wasn't too many people there, considering it was Saturday evening, the only other free night for most workers out there or maybe they just chose another place, but there only was a few couples, four it looked like from what the two of them could see from where they were standing, and a family at the window, a young boy seated beside his mother and a teenage girl beside her father. The mother were scowling at the boy for spilling his cola on his blue shirt, a new one probably, trying to clean it with her napkin while the two other snickered behind their own napkins, getting sent a scowl too but Fred and Hermione spotted the smile tugging at the mothers lips.
The two of them waited at a small table, standing in front of them, placed just two feet away from the door to make the people stop and wait for someone to seat them.
It took a few minutes but finally a young male waiter, not much younger them, maybe around Hermione's age came up to the two with a smile on his face as he approved. "Hello my name is Martin and I will be your waiter for the evening" he announced, grinning at them before his eyes went to scan the two, his eyes staying on Hermione far too long for Fred's liking. When Hermione grew uncomfortable at the waiters staring, Fred cleared his throat to get the other males attention, glaring slightly at him, and to Fred's delight, he quickly took out two menus, muttering for them to follow him.
"Thank you" Hermione whispered to him out of the corner of her mouth so the waiter wouldn't hear them, he winked at her and to his delight ones again, the brunette blushed, averting him by looking around them before stopping as the waiter too stopped in front of a small, two people table. It was at the far corner, on the other side of the window, to the wall. Two candles lit on, standing on the middle of the table, a light green tablecloth, suiting the walls put on the table beneath the candles. Two wooden chairs were placed on either side of the table, two small black with white pattern cushions put on top of them to make the person seated there feel more comfortable and not walk away with a stiff bag.
Hermione went for her chair, the one facing away from the other people but before she could even reach for the chair, Fred had already beat her to it, she hadn't even noticed him move before he was pulling her chair out for her with a grin on his face. He was going to make it absolutely amazing evening for Hermione, acting his very best, just for her, a true gentleman. Of course he was a gentleman at all times, getting raised by his mum, all of the Weasley boys knew how to treat a woman right and if not, even Voldemort wasn't as scary as if being put in front of Mrs. Weasley when her rage broke.
The waiter smiled at them once they were both seated before handing them their menus and rushing off somewhere away from them to get their drinks while the two set off to figure out what to get.
"What would you like?" Hermione spoke up, peaking up over her menu to look at Fred who were scanning his own menu before setting it down to look back at her, "I think I'll take the roastbeef " he answered, she knitted her eyebrows together before going back to look at the choices written down on the plain white paper. 'She looks so cute when she concentrates on something' Fred thought to himself, before realizing what he was doing and nearly fell down from his chair in shock at the unwelcoming thought. That was the fourth time tonight something like that struck him, what was wrong with him? That was Ron's best mate Hermione Jean Granger; she was out that reach for him to think about her like that! … 'But it's true' it was true, she was, but she was way more than cute. 'Focus' he shot at himself before looking at the witch in front of him, realizing she wasn't looking over the menu anymore and was instead starring at him with amusement shining in the brown eyes of hers.
It was his turn to blush.
First part of the date done! So what do you think of it so far? I would very much love to hear your thougths from you, so keep up with the reviews everyone!
