Best Sister Ever
"Have you got the gear?" came a whisper from next to her.
Roxanne smiled, holding up a small pouch, inside contained the potion she had been sent to 'secure' for her big brother, Fred.
"I can't believe you did it!" Fred exclaimed. "How much did it cost?"
"It was David Finnegan-Thomas," Roxanne whispered in response. "It cost me my next Hogsmeade weekend. You owe me, I was hoping that Eli would ask me."
"I'll make it upto you," Fred murmured, already turning away from his sister, the pouch his main focus.
"You bet you will," Roxanne said, grabbing his arm before he could wander off. "What are you going to do with it, anyway?"
Fred smiled, thinking about a blue-haired head-boy. "I'm going to talk to Teddy Lupin," he sighed, a dreamy look crossing his face from what she could see.
He had taken the secret meeting too literally and worn a black hat and dark shades, covering most of his face, but he had the soppiest smile she had ever seen.
"Is that it?" she replied, crossly. "I gave up my weekend so you can get good luck potion to talk to someone that you always talk to already?"
"Yeah I talk to him, but I don't talk to him. This will make all the difference," Fred told her, suddenly a lot more confident than the brother she had seen earlier that week, begging her with his whiny voice to procure him some Felix Felicis.
"You mean, you fancy him?" Roxanne asked.
"I'm powerless against his… his charm, his good looks, his smarts, his eyes, his -"
"Okay," Roxanne hissed, covering her ears with her hands and rolling her eyes. Fred was acting like a lovesick moron and she couldn't handle it. She was tempted to slap him and tell him to man up, but wasn't expecting him to pull her into a tight hug.
"Best sister ever," he said. "And tomorrow, Teddy will be agreeing to a date with me." With that, he stepped out of the alcove and walked away.
Roxanne sighed. She almost felt sorry for poor Teddy.
But then again, seeing what the two men that raised him were like, it occurred to her that it'd just be part of the norm for him.
