12. Hailey and George
Fred and George were parading through the Gryffindor common room, surveying the effects of their joke snacks on various students.
"Look George, the Fainting Fancies are working a charm." Fred laughed as he pointed to a second year that had just fell to the ground after popping a small treat into his mouth.
But George was busy looking at the quiet girl sitting in the far corner of the common room. Hailey sat with her notebook across her lap, sketching the large snowy owl that was perched a few feet away.
"Fred, I'll catch up with you later." George said dismissively as he made his way over to Hailey.
Hailey looked back to the snowy owl and smiled when she had finished her sketch. "Thank you Hedwig, you can go back to Harry now if you like." Hedwig hooted softly then flew out a nearby window.
"That's really impressive." The ginger boy smiled as he sat next to the girl with the sketch.
"Oh, umm, thanks." She closed her notebook and shoved it into her bag, hair falling across her face.
George instinctively reached across and tucked Hailey's hair back behind her ear, gently cradling her cheek.
Hailey blushed deeply as George leant forward and pressed his lips to hers.
