Chapter 8

Hermione's POV

I pulled open my laptop and when the screen was still black for a few seconds I saw Fred's confused but interested face reflected on the black screen. When the screen turned on I went into my file of pictures labelled 'Friends'. I clicked on it and to only Fred's surprise images of my friends popped up. The first one to pop up was my good friend Cynthia with strawberry blonde hair and some freckles she had her hair the way she always did with it cut short and hair coming to the other side ( looks better than it sounds)

" Is that a boy?"

" Well, she is a transgender you see, so she was born with her name Cynthia and it still is legally but she likes to be called Parker."

" Wow. I didn't know that you support LGBTQ+."

" Always have."

" Why did you never mention that you have always supported LGBTQ+? Before you ask I do too."

" Never came up. If someone was making fun of someone for it or being rude and disgusted about it then I would have put some common sense into them."

" Good, now can I see the rest of your friends?"

" Okay" I clicked to the next photo which had a picture of my best friend. Isabella is a girl with black hair silver tips. I flipped onto the next photo it was a picture of my good friend Paul with curly short black hair and glasses and his girlfriend Katie who was a redhead with pale white skin. I click again and find my friend John who has brown eyes and brown hair and is 5 '9 with glasses. Click to the last picture in the file and find a photo of a friend named Sophie, she had her cats: Annabelle and Coco beside her.

" Is she a cat lover like you?"

"Yes, indeed Fred, she is, even more, a cat fan than I am."

" Whoa, is that even possible?"

" Yes."

" You have a lot of friends,l that happen to be muggles."

" Why didn't you ever tell us about them?"

" Never came up."

" Now let me email them."

" E mall?"

" Email, email is a way to contact a person in a muggle way. You can email on this: a laptop or on a phone, Chromebook and other muggle devices."

" How do you email them?"

" Let me show you." I said typing in Gmail in the search bar. In the minute it took to load after pressing enter Fred was practising his French under his breath which made me grin. I tried to make it go away before he saw it but it was too late he had seen it.

" 'Mione, don't hide your grin from me that is nearly impossible to do when I'm the one that is making you grin."

Fred said with his own grin. But it had loaded giving me an excuse to turn around and not look into those dreamy eyes Fred had. Who gave him permission to shine those beautiful eyes at me, it would have made me fall in love with him even if I hadn't already. Wait I had fallen in love with Fred? Well, now that I think of it I AM in love with Fred! I clicked on the link labelled g-mail and it loaded into a page with my emails. I clicked compose with a plus sign that was stationed on the middle left side of the screen. I had the message: ' Want to go mini golfing in two days?' sent to all my friends. I know that at least one of them would like to come mini golfing with me and Fred. I turned to Fred who was gawking at the screen in a pure surprise of emailing being so easy.

" That's all you have to do?"

"Yes."

" Now, that, that is done and planned what are we doing for the rest of the day?"

" Well there's nothing planned but we can go shopping."

" If that is something that will stop me from getting kinda bored sitting here than sure."

" Are you saying that I and this house is too boring for you?"

" No, I just want to go out." Fred said in a panic knowing what Hermione can be like.

" Don't worry Fred, I was joking, now let's go! Just need to tell my mom and dad." Fred sagged back down clearly relieved I wasn't mad at him.

" How're we going to get there?"

" It's close enough to just walk to."

" Okay, let's go! Let's go!"

" We will calm your horses!"

" How can I when I have a hot girl that's agreed to walk with me!"

Wait am I hearing things or did he just call me hot, and that he wants to walk with me?

My thoughts were interrupted when Fred yelled " Come on!" grabbing my wrist and running down the stairs.

" Fred! Slow down!" I said out of breath.

"Not until we are outside!"

" Mom, dad, me and Fred are going shopping at the mall that's a few blocks away!"

" Ok honey, take 300$ with you. It's in the front pocket of my purse."

" Thanks!" I grabbed the 300$ thinking my mum is amazing, I don't need that much money. I planned to give some to Fred so that he can buy some things too. We walked out the door with Fred literally dragging me. Once we were outside he slowed down and didn't pull me but he made sure to keep his hand clasped to mine. I wasn't complaining though. We walked for about a minute until Fred started talking again.

" Is it a muggle mall?"

" Of course it is. We're in a muggle location. We have to stop talking about anything involving magic whenever we aren't in the house."

" Oh, yeah, right. I will stop now."

" Good." We walked a block 'till some teenager gang showed up blocking us from walking through.

" Hey, Granger." Said what looked like the leader of the gang.

" Who're you?"

" Don't you remember me? You know from the school you stopped coming to?" Now that I look closer, I saw that the leader of this gang was the big bully in the grade from the school I used to go to. He looked different than what I remembered he looked like when we were 10.

" Who's this? Your boyfriend?" He asked pointing at Fred.

"No, this is my good friend Fred, and you didn't answer my first question. Who're you?"

" I'm Max Johnson."

"Well, Max now that we both know each other can we come through?"
