"Can we get some ice cream?" George and Fred ask with a child voice. I laugh as the twins grab onto my arm. Brooke just rolls her eyes at how childish they can be at times. I turn to look at Fred who gives me the puppy dog face.
"It won't work, Freddie" I say turning my head to George who was doing the same thing. "Fine!" I laugh. We walk to a nearby ice cream shop and wait in line to buy our ice creams. When we get to the front I order cookies 'n cream, Brooke orders chocolate, and the twins order vanilla. We all sit down at a booth. Brooke and I slide in on the opposite side of each other and George slides next to me while Fred slides next to Brooke slowly. George started up a conversation with me quickly as we ate.
"Fred and I are planning to make another product" George says putting the spoon into his mouth.
"That's great! You better not test it on me this time. Last time my hair turned purple! It stayed that way for a week." We both laugh I take a quick glance at Fred. He's staring at me as Brooke talks to him. I look back at George who noticed me looking at Fred.
"Come sit next to her, mate" George sighs. Fred's face lights up as he exchanges seats with George. I look at Brooke while I'm blushing. She has a huge smile on her face. I look at George at who gives me a wink. I guess he knows that I like Fred.
I put another spoon of ice cream into my mouth and let it melt in my mouth. "Talk" Fred says nudging my shoulder.
"Hi" I laugh. He rolls his eyes and laughs at me. "So I heard you and George are going to make a new product."
"Yeah, it's gonna be awesome and I promise we won't try it on you this time" he replies. We talk for another thirty minutes until we head back to Hogwarts. Brooke and I head to our dorms and wait until dinner.
"So, George knows. That's what we were talking about, you know" Brooke says sitting on my bed.
"That's what you two were whispering about? Fred and I were joking that you two were secretly dating."
"Ew! No way would I ever date George" Brooke says with a disgusted face. "The only thing we both have in common is you and Fred liking each other." I laugh at her remark.
"Let's head down to dinner." We get up and race each other down the stairs. As we leave the common room, I hear two boys running down the stairs. "Don't turn back" I whisper to Brooke. "Let's pretend to ignore them." She nods her head and continues to walk to the Great Hall.
"Wait for us" one of the twins yell. We continue walking faster to the Great Hall not turning around. "Hey! Gotcha!" Arms wrap around my waist tightly. I turn my head around and find Fred holding me. I blush and turn my head back away. I look at Brooke who's running away from George.
"Let go of me, Fred" I laugh.
"No, because you chose to ignore me." I turn my body around in his grasp, but big mistake. My body was pressed against his in an awkward position. I couldn't help myself from staring into his beautiful brown eyes. Fred leans in, closing in the small space between our lips. I could feel his breath on my lips until someone yells at us from all the way down the corridor. "What are you two doing?!" Fred quickly lets go of my small waist.
I sigh as I see Professor Snape walking quickly down the corridor towards us. His dark robes flow behind him against the wind from the fast speed of his walking. "What are you two doing?" Snape repeats.
"We were going to the Great Hall" Fred answers quickly.
"No, it looks like you two were about to make out right in the middle of the corridor!" My cheeks turn a dark shade of red. I look at Fred who's cheeks were also a dark shade of red. I bite my bottom lip and give my attention back to Professor Snape when Fred looks at me. Snape seemed to notice this and rolled his eyes. "20 points from Gryffindor and detention this Saturday during dinner since you both don't mind skipping it." Snape continues to walk to his destination.
"What's his problem?" Fred ask.
"I don't know" I shrug and look at my feet. I've never felt this awkward with Fred before. When we get to the Great Hall, I sit next to Brooke and Fred sits next to George. I want to talk about the "almost kiss", but choose to save that for when we're alone.
"What took you two so long?" Brooke asks annoyed.
"We got caught up with Snape" I say putting a lot of food onto my plate. I eat a lot when I'm stressed out.
"Ah. So did we" George says. "We have detention this Sunday."
"Really?" Fred says angrily. "We have detention tomorrow night."
"Snape would do that too." Brooke puts two pieces of potatoes in her mouth.
"He's just scared that George and I would pull a prank on him." I look at George and give him 'I need to talk to you later look'. He understands and nods in response. I sigh and pick up a lot of food with my fork and shove it into my mouth.
