The Magic in Schitts Creek (Originally Named: Schitts Creek)

Turkey Shoot: 2

I got up with butterflies in my stomach. I removed the pillow and blanket from my trunk and pulled out a  long crisp white button-up, a leather belt, and Navy jeans. My wand slipped into my wrist holster discreetly. Father came out of the bathroom dressed for the day. We looked at each other. He walked over and embraced me

"You're going to impress her socks off."  He told me. I smiled and gave him a quick hug. I opened the door and left to get the basket from Twyla. I got to the cafe and opened the door. The basket sat on the table. I grabbed the basket and put money on the table.

"Thank you, Twy!" I called over my shoulder. I ran past Dad, I could get used to calling him that, and into an alley. I apparated to the 'X' and placed the basket down. I conjured a table cloth and laid it on the floor. I plucked a rose from a nearby bush and apparated to the motel.

Hermione's POV

"Oh my god, Ginny!" I called to my friend, "I don't know what I'm going to wear!" My clothes were thrown about the room. My friend sat at the table watching and laughed.

"Relax 'Mione! Evan is probably just as nervous as you if not more. I can't believe you two still get like this after years of dating." She walked over," I saw him running around town yesterday." I breathed a sigh of relief and put the rest of my clothes in the bag. Ginny told me she was going to get her mum to help us. Minutes later, I was trying on outfits the two picked. I walked out of the bathroom.

"How's this?" I modeled a gray crop top with black skinny jeans and white Doc Martens. 

"Oh, Hermione, dear, you look wonderful! Evan is a lucky man." Mrs. Weasley gleefully. I gave a small grin as Ginny gave her approval. There was a knock at the door. In the doorway was Evan handsomely dressed with a rose in his hand.

"For the pretty lady." He gave me the rose before putting out his arm. I took it and we felt the familiar sensation of apparation.

Evan  POV

We got to the picnic and sat down. I pulled the basket in front of us and opened the lid. I pulled out two plates.

"Sandwich?" I offered. She took the sandwich gradually. I summoned two glasses and poured some water into them.

"So tell me what happened after I left school?" I asked while sipping my drink. Hermione told me all about her trip to France in June and her stay with the Weasleys. We sat there talking for a while. 

"Enough about me. What about you?" She grabbed my hand. I blushed.

"I-I got a job in the Magical Accidents and Catastrophes Department." I stuttered. She gave a smile but it turned into a frown. 

"That's great." She exclaimed, " Are you going back to the Ministry or staying here as a liaison with MANCUSA?" Hermione leaned forward with anticipation. 

"Staying here." I responded, "When are you guys leaving?" I questioned.

"Next week." She sighed. I looked at the sky. 

'Good God, She's beautiful.' I thought. The sun was starting to set and we were packing up. Deciding that I needed to man up, I cupped her face and forced her to look at me. I briefly looked at her. I planted my lips onto hers. She melted in and fireworks went off in my stomach. We pulled away for air. My arms were around her waist and hers were around my neck.

"Wow... The fire never dies" Hermione breathed.

 "Yeah..." I chuckled. I kissed her on the temple and pulled out my wand. I flicked it and the cloth wrapped itself. The basket came into my hand and apparated the two of us home. We appeared behind the motel. She and I walked to the front hand-in-hand. I dropped her off at the room she and Ginny shared. 

"I had a wonderful time." She told me once we got to the door. I smiled and grazed my thumb against her hand.

"Me too." I gave her a cheeky grin, "How 'bout another date, huh? Before you leave for 6th year." Hermione gave an angelic laugh. My face flushed a deep red.

"Of course." She kissed me again and went inside. I stood there and ran to fingers across my lips. I smiled and walked back to the motel. My hand pushed the door to my room open. I put the empty basket with the cloth on the floor. Father came into the room.

"Hey, how'd it go?" Dad clapped me on the back. I smiled and turned to him.

"We kinda kissed," I mumbled. Dad side hugged me. 

"Look at you, getting a girlfriend." He wiped a fake tear from his eyes. I scoffed and grabbed my nightclothes.

"Goodnight Dad," I called.
