Gred!" George bounded up to me
"Yes, Forge?" I sighed, I had been expecting it but hoped I could just go stag
"Wanna go with Angelina to the ball?" Bingo
"Lemme guess, Lee's taking Katie, you're taking Alicia and we shouldn't leave Angelina out?" I summed up
"Exactly my less attractive twin" He grinned in a guilty way, knowing that I didn't want to
"I'll go on one condition," I began
"Continue dear one," George spoke in a wise voice
"Don't snog Alicia, if you do Angelina will expect me to snog her, I don't really want to." I explained with a grimace
"Fine, I won't" George promised, "We have a deal?" He looked hopeful
"That we do." I agreed, and then I walked away.
Hermione was going with someone; I didn't have a chance.
So there we were, my twin and I, minding our own business in the common room. I heard someone coming down the girls stairs, I turned just in time too; Hermione looked amazing, my heart contracted. She had forgotten to jump the trick stair and was about to land in a mess on the floor. I ran over and slid in front of her so she would land on me. She did, elbow to rib and knee to groin. It hurt like a kick from a hippogriff but I shook it off. I knew she would probably be more shocked than me.
"Hey, 'Mione." I said with a grin, lifting my head to look at her
She lifted her head and realised whom she had landed on
"Oh, uh, hi Fred." She was flustered "I'm sorry, it was that stupid trick stair."
"I kind of figured," She was still lying on me, in all honesty she could probably feel my heart racing
"Now Hermione is this really any way to behave?" I said with a serious tone
She looked confused
"Would your date tonight be happy with you falling for me?" She shot me a grimace then stood up and smiled
"Do I look alright Fred?" she said, I could hear ever single one of her insecurities in her tone
"You look great, Hermione. Go knock 'em dead."
I stood up, she gave me a hug, I probably held on longer than I should have. When I let her go she was blushing. She opened the portrait hole
"Hey, Granger!" I shouted
"Yes Fred?" She turned and looked at me, she looked curious
"Save me a dance." I said with a grin
"Of course, Fred" She flashed that smile, the smile I loved, the one where I couldn't tell what she was thinking, but I knew it was about me, and that made me smile.
She went through a portrait hole. Whoever this guy was, he probably didn't know how lucky he was.
