3rd Person POV.

Fred sits down on his bed still frozen as Lee and George stand around him. ".... You think he died?"

"And is just sitting here?" George answers his dumb question.

"Right... Freddie... I'm sorry." Lee apologises.

"Come on Fred. It's not that bad." George replies.

There is then a knock on their dorm door. Ginny walks in with Archie in her arms. "Hey."

"You should leave, Fred's going through something." Lee says.

"Archie has a letter to you." Ginny says, holding up the letter as Archie licks his face.

George and Lee grab the letter first and opens it before Fred could grab it. They then look at Fred. "... We have good news."

"What? What could it possibly be." Fred asks, finally speaking.

"She wants to meet you. In 20 minutes. At the fountain." George replies.

"This is it Fred." Lee says.

"... I feel naked." Fred says.

"Please be serious about this." Ginny frowns.

"Fine.. I'll... I'll go there now. Give me Archie." Fred says, holding the dog in his arms.

"Good luck." George says, giving him a thumbs up.

Fred waits at the fountain since she isn't there yet. Fred waits for a bout five minutes before getting up and deciding to leave. It's fine. I'll talk to her another time. Fred says to himself.

"Hey, Freddie." Malia calls.

"Shit." Fred says to himself, turning around.

"You're early." Malia nods.

"Yeah... Um..." Fred says.

"Kinda thought you would run away." Malia admits.

"No." Fred scoffs.

"Can we talk, please? I think we're overdue one." Malia asks.

".... Um. Sure." Fred nods, knowing he needs to do this now or never.

They sit down and it is silent at first, but after a while, Malia began to speak up and abruptly asks, "Why did you buy me those flowers? After you already asked Angelina to the ball?"

Fred is a bit taken aback by Malia's questions. "I'm really sorry I thought they were from Ryan, but you had already asked Angelina. I really didn't think it could be possible that it was from you."
