"You must be bloody freezing," Ron remarked once we had arrived inside. My teeth were chattering aggressively as I folded my arms across my chest.

"Only a bit," I muttered shakily.

"Here, I'll get something to warm you up," he offered, turning on his heels and darting away quickly.

Everyone then sprinted toward the me eagerly, bustling with questions and chattering excitedly.

"Finally!" Hermione exclaimed, speaking over the rest of them.

"It was bound to happen at some point," Harry remarked.

"I'd like to mention that I played a crucial role in getting you guys together," Fred chimed in, holding his hand up to intervene.

"You did," I grinned back at him. "All of you did. Thank you."

Fred smirked and crossed his arms in front of his chest, nodding arrogantly.

"And thank Merlin we don't have to deal with Celeste being around anymore," George piped up.

"Agreed," Ginny huffed.

"Hey look, everyone's here," Ron declared flatly as he approached me from behind, holding something wrapped into a ball in his hands. He turned to me and unfolded one of his sweatshirts, draping it delicately across my shoulders. "There. Hopefully it warms you up a bit."

"Aw," everyone cooed, while Ron just grinned and rolled his eyes.

"Okay, show's over," he stated, shooing them away with his hands.

"I believe you owe us a 'Thank you,' little brother," Fred announced, holding his hands out expectantly.

"Yeah, none of this would've happened without us," George stated.

"Y/n already thanked us," Ginny shot, placing her hands on her hips.

"Thank you," Ron grumbled unenthusiastically. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we're freezing," he called out, wrapping his arm over my shoulder and spinning me around so that the both of us were now facing the opposite direction.

"Thanks for the sweatshirt," I said gratefully as we began to walk away, reaching my arm up to tug the sweatshirt over me more.

He smiled before asking, "I'll walk you to your room?"

"Sure," I grinned, and he nodded down the hallway as the two of us walked together.

We walked in silence, the only sound being my teeth still chattering together lightly. Once we arrived at my door, I turned around slowly to face him, fiddling with my hands. I'm pretty sure I know what he's thinking right now.

"Well, here we are," I stated, not making an effort to actually open the door at all.

"Here we are," he sighed, smiling at me like an idiot.

"I'll just go in now..." I trailed off, reaching my hand behind me to twist the doorknob.

He suddenly reached his hand out and placed it on top of mine, the both of us now gripping the handle as he stepped closer to me. Both of us were breathing heavily as our faces were inches apart. "How about I come too?" he exhaled, his eyes trailing down from my own.

"Sure," I breathed, studying his face as he did nothing but grin in response, twisting the handle behind me and pushing the door open, the both of us practically falling into my bedroom.

I was a giggling idiot as he pushed his tongue into the side of his cheek and continued to smirk at me, slowly reaching his hands up to either side of my face and gripping it aggressively. He was holding it so that our foreheads were almost touching as he whispered, "You want to do this, darling?"
