one more chapter before their date on Valentine's Day! I'm excited for that, and I bet Hermione and Fred are too lol
Walking around the roof, Hermione smiled to herself. It was different being there at daylight than when she would come here for stargazing; the roof turned almost magical when the stars shined through.
"If we go to the restaurant for brunch, maybe we could go to the park for a stroll and end the day with stargazing?" Hermione wondered, walking around and biting her lip in thought. "But what if Fred had planned something? I don't want to interfere."
It was during times like these Hermione cursed the fact that Fred didn't have a cell phone she could call, or even a telephone. She couldn't understand how someone could live like, just sending notes in parchment—who the hell still writes in parchment?
"Don't try to overthink things now, Hermione, or else you would destroy something that's been very good to you," she continued talking to herself, shaking her head as if to dismiss the darkening thoughts she was having. "You can always ask him tomorrow, there isn't a need to be so worried over some plans."
But this was the way she always was. She was an overthinker, and an overachiever, and the idea of not having everything planned in advance, made Hermione's insides turn. Hermione knew Fred was more laid back than she was, she didn't want to make a big deal of every little thing.
"You should take a leaf from Fred's book and just go with the flow," she said to herself, stopping at the railing of the roof and watching the street down below. "You can have fun, even if it isn't planned to a T."
Being with Fred has been wonderful, and not just because he was an amazing person. Hermione could feel how much more relaxed she became, starting to enjoy life and just the pleasure of being together with Fred, even if they just sat together at her flat.
Hermione's mind seemed to slow down when Fred was around, and she was grateful for that. Sometimes, Hermione felt as if her mind was spiralling, not focusing on a thought at time. But when Fred was near, it was almost like her mind was silent and she could breathe again.
"Just breathe, Hermione," she said to herself, before taking a deep breath. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed the sun rays on her skin and felt herself relaxing. "Tomorrow is going to be perfect because it will be you and Fred, spending time together.
"Remember how you feel when his arms are around you, and how time seems to stop when you two are together." Hermione continued to give herself a pep talk. "It's just the two of you, no need to go freaking out. It's just a date with your boyfriend."
A date on Valentine's Day, the most romantic day of the year. Squeezing her eyes, Hermione tried not to let the feelings of dread appear, like it had in the past. Taking another deep breath, Hermione opened her eyes, and looked at the sun starting to go down.
"Tomorrow is going to be perfect, I just know it." Hermione smiled, before returning to her flat, feeling better about everything. She was taking a leaf from Fred's book and deciding to just feel.
