The second Scamander

Chapter twenty-five: The ball part two

After Newt left me I wanted to go after him because I was scared of what Fred would say right now. I took a deep breath before I turned around to face him.

"Hey Freddie" I smiled at him.

"Hey. You look tired from dancing" He mocked me.

"Ha ha, Fred. You're the one to talk. Your no better" I grinned back at him.

"Well if you're not tired, what do you say to a little dance?" He asked me as he stuck his hand out for me to take. I shook my head lightly at him before I took it.

"I would love to"

Before I had time to process anything he was dragging me over to the dance floor. Once he stopped he had a stupid smile on his face making it hard for me not to burst out laughing at him.

For the whole time we were dancing he told me jokes causing me to laugh. One thing I'm able to do is to tell when the twins have something on their minds. And Fred definitely had something on his mind.

"A galleon for your thoughts," I said teasingly. He laughed back at me.

"Fine, I'll tell you. Would you like to go on a walk" I nodded and smiled at him before he took my hand and led me out in the courtyard.

"What did you want to-" I started but was cut off when he pulled me close and kissed me. For like two seconds I was shocked and did not know what to do until my body finally worked again and I kissed him back.

This time taking him by surprise. We just stood there in the snow for some time before we pulled away to get air. I did not know what to say so I was glad that he spoke first.

"I'm sorry. I should have probably asked you first. It's just that I have wanted to do That since the third year." I looked up at him and smiled

"Don't be. I liked it and I would be lying if I said the same though had not gone through my head in the third year as well." This time he smiled while looking at me.

We stood there in comfortable silence while the snow fell down on us. "Well then I have a question for you" I looked up at him and motioned for him to go on

"Well, I kinda have two. First I would like to know if you would consider going on a date with me to Hogsmeade next week" He asked looking down on me with a smile.

"Of course, I would love to go on a date with you"

He then continued "And my second question is if you would consider being my girlfriend?" This time I did not answer him, or I answered him just not with words.

I just kissed him again. "I take that as a yes," He said while still smiling.

"Of course I will be you, idiot. '' We laughed while we walked back together hand in hand.

When we got back we saw that most people had headed back to their own common rooms. So Fred and I walked toward Gryffindor tower. When we got in we saw our friends still up.

We walked over to join in on their conversation. They did not seem to notice anything different which I was kinda glad for. After about an hour I was the first one to head to bed.

I made a quick trip down to my animals to tell them about the evening and fell asleep once my head hit the pillow.

Fred pov:

After we started walking out of the courtyard I could not stop smiling. I was beyond happy at the moment. After she closed the dorm door all the other's attention went on me.

"What?" I asked, getting creeped out.

"You told her, didn't you. You told her and you found out she liked you back and now you are dating, am I right" My twin said.

"How on bloody earth do you do that," I said while the others just sat there listening.

"I knew it. Good job Fred. But where did you find the courage to do it?"

"Well first thanks and second it was actually her brother who gave me the idea"

"Wait, her own brother told you to shoot your shot with his sister," Harry said in disbelief. I don't blame him though I had the same look on my face.

"I know right. He told me how he wanted her to be happy and he thought that I could make her happy and yeah"

We talked about this for some more time before the rest of us went to bed. When we came into the dorm she was already fast asleep.

"I think she was in her trunk"

"How can you tell?" George asked, confused.

"She has a sleeping Pickett on her head". We went to sleep and fell asleep rather quickly. I fell asleep feeling way too happy about the events.

I was awoken by a pillow on my face. "Do you want to throw a pillow at your new girlfriend or would that make you feel bad?" George mocked.

"Hang on" I checked to see if Pickett was still sleeping on her head. "What are you checking?"

"I'm checking to see if Pickett is still on her head. If we hit him with the pillows she will bite our arms off George." After making sure he was not there I turned to George "Full force Georgie"

He smiled back at me before we threw our pillows at her with all we had.

However, to our surprise, the pillows stopped before hitting her. We looked confused at each other. Before we knew it, who got hit with our own pillows.

"I woke up first, idiots," She said, looking smug. "No fair '' We both complained.

''Oh yeah, says the twins who were going full force on me '' We didn't really have a good response to that and let her win. I saw George look at me and I knew he had a plan to get her back, and I knew exactly what he was thinking.

We both ran over to her bed while she was not looking and started tickling her. "Okay, okay I get it to stop, stop please, stop," she said in between laughs.

After a little while, we stopped. After George wanted to get dressed I lay down beside her "Slept well princess" I asked her before giving her a quick kiss.

"Yes indeed I did," She said smiling. We made our way to breakfast and the rest of the day went by like usual.
