"Umph," Hermione grunted as someone bumped into her as they were walking down the street. Peter grabbed onto her, supporting her as she stumbled before whirling around and glaring.
"Hey," he snapped. "Watch it." The man who turned around was handsome, Hermione couldn't deny that, but everything about him reeked of something horrendous.
"Don't mind me, squirt," he chuckled. "I was just giving the lovely lady my number."
Hermione patted her pockets, and sure enough, he'd managed to invade her personal bubble and slip a piece of paper in; how bizarre! And annoying.
"My girlfriend?" Peter demanded. "How about you just carry on walking."
"Watch it, little dude," the other guy warned. "You hold no challenge to me."
"Hey," Hermione piped up. "Just because you're beautiful doesn't mean you can treat people like they don't matter. Peter matters, a damn lot more than you."
"You think I'm beautiful?" he asked, ignoring everything else she said and giving her a wink. Hermione rolled her eyes and scoffed before tugging on Peter's arm.
"Come on," she urged. "Let's get out of here. You said you had a surprise."
Peter sent off one last glare before turning back to the way they were initially heading and held her hand.
"I wanted to do something to show my love for you," Peter told her, blushing slightly. "I didn't have any idea because I can't afford any of the books that you want and I'm not exactly the ladies man, so Sirius helped me come up with this idea."
He'd stopped walking and pointed to the shop that they were standing outside.
"A tattoo parlour?" she asked, looking between him and the building. "How will that prove your love?"
"I'm going to have your name permanently etched into my skin." Hermione opened her mouth to argue but he pressed a finger to her lips. "You're it for me. Before you arrived out of nowhere, I was being bullied and my mum was in danger and I felt like I was drifting away from my friends. If you hadn't have saved me, who knows what I could've done. Something terrible, I'm sure."
"Peter-"
"No," he cut her off. "I've already booked it. Are you going to come in with me and hold my hand or stay out here?"
"I'll hold your hand," she agreed, allowing herself to be dragged into the building. "You know it will hurt, right?"
"It'll be a fresh wound that you can kiss better," he winked.
