Arthur was fond of eating bananas; it was sweet and not messy when you eat it unlike eating apples, as the juices will dribble down your chin when you take a bite. Plus bananas are a heart healthy food when included in a diet low saturated fat and cholesterol. It was a naturally fat, cholesterol and sodium-free food, one of the food that reduces the risk of heart diseases. They had potassium, a vital mineral to help ensure healthy organs and Arthur have always made sure he had to at least have one a day, whether it was with his cereal or dessert or just a plain banana.
But this was all before that infuriating frog face Francis interfered with his thoughts, now he couldn't just eat a banana without blushing till he looked like a red traffic light. That perverted Ravenclaw frog, always sick in the mind.
It started out like any day. Students were having breakfast in the Great Hall, some half awake some looking absolutely chipper, the sound of children chattering filled the hall. Arthur sat on the bench, his eyes were glued on the thick magical book he had been reading all week, having his daily breakfast which consisted of tea, some bread and of course a banana. That was when Francis decided to grace his presence on the Slytherin boy.
"Bonjour Sourcils" Francis grinned, hoping to rile the boy. However, Arthur refused to look up from his book and hummed in acknowledgement. Francis pouted in response, taking a glance at what Arthur was reading, long sentences and no pictures… boring.
"So…" Francis started, waving his wand, bored and noticing Arthur reaching out for the banana, "What are you reading?"
"Hmm, dragons." Arthur replied absentmindedly, trying to balance the book upwards, keeping his eye on the passage and peeling the yellow fruit all at once. He brought the fruit to his mouth, putting the tip in his mouth but not biting it… a part of the passage had caught his attention. Leaving the banana in his mouth he flipped the page and continued reading, forgetting that he hasn't bit down on the banana and Francis was still beside him.
Francis snickered and leant towards him, whispering to his ear " You know, if you just wanted something in your mouth… you could have just come to me." Arthur snapped out of his book and turned to look at Francis, banana still hanging in his mouth. It took him a few seconds before he allowed the innuendo sink into his mind and he bit down on the banana and swallowed. Only to start spluttering and choking on the fruit, face turning bright red while Francis burst out laughing.
Arthur quickly got up and threw the offending fruit at Francis, stomping off the Great Hall with the tip of his ears red from embarrassment. Of course he did not forget to put a pimple jinx on the frog before stomping off.
That French frog was going to drive Arthur bananas.
