This is just a silly bit of fun I scratched out ages ago. If it makes you smile, I did something right.

"Never, you've never been to a movie theatre before?" Jo asked over ice cream. Fred and Marcus had floo powdered over to Leili's and from there, the four of them headed over to lunch and from there to a nearby ice cream shop.
"Well it's not like the wizarding world has an abundance of movie theatres around. Considering what magic does to technology," Leili reminded her.
"I know but, never?"
"Why don't you two show us what we've been missing all our lives?" Fred suggested. The girls looked at each other and grinned.
"Actually, there is a movie out we've been wanting to see," Jo said.
"Perfect timing, too, it's only out for today. Special 10th anniversary showing," Leili explained with a grin.
"Let's do it!" the four of them packed up and headed over to the theatre where the girls bought the tickets.
"Labyrinth?" Fred asked, reading his ticket stub.
"Yup! One of the greatest movies of all time, it has a small, but rabidly loyal fan base," Jo told him as they sat down in the middle of a center row. The four of them watched as 15 year-old Sarah play-acted to her dog in the park, wished her brother away, and as Jareth Magic Danced his way across the screen. After the movie was over Jo turned to the boys and asked, "Well, what did you think?"
"That hair! The sheer amount of makeup!" Marcus gaped.
"Forget the hair and make-up! Those pants! Bloody hell!"
"Ooh, the pants. Almost the best part of the movie," Leili giggled.
"Blimey Leilani, if I'd known that waswhat you were into I'd've had an easier time getting you to go out with me," Fred said in shock.
"Oh, please, you had a perfectly easy time of it! I said yes straight away. And it's not my fault that you took so long," she teased back before turning to look him up and down contemplatively
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I was just imagining you in Jareth's pants. It looks…rather fetching actually!" she grinned.
Marcus was glowering darkly, his arm wrapped securely around Jo's waist.
"Oi, Flint, what's the matter with you?" Fred asked.
"I need to find a way into the movie so I can murder Jareth."
"You can't kill Jareth, he's Fae; he won't thank you for the attempt," Jo told him.
