In all honesty, Beatrice had never seen herself as a person who liked dating. She liked sex. Loved it, more like it. But anyone could have for sure that she couldn't be counted on when it came to the emotional aspects of a relationship. She physically couldn't force herself to commit to one and her stubborn self had decided to omit them despite never trying them before.

At the end of sixth year, Beatrice and Cassius Warrington began hooking up and hanging out and what not.

Their little fling had extended until halfway through seventh year, when she decided to end things for good after noticing that he had gotten too clingy, too possessive and too overprotective. What she didn't know, was that Warrington was head over heels for her and in fact ended up breaking his heart.

She really couldn't have cared less. Two weeks later, she was already fucking Aster Malfoy in a broom cupboard during a party in the Hufflepuff common room.

That wasn't the case with Fred.

And just like the biggest cliché to ever exist, her brain was no longer in control of her decisions.

One date turned into two. Then those two became four and now, Beatrice was getting ready for her fifth official date with Fred.

The two of them decided to keep the secret to themselves, which didn't really work at all since Lee and George had found them making out on his couch after their third date and put the pieces of the puzzle together. Bea's friends on the other hand, had no clue what was going on and she wanted to keep it that way, just in case things went south.

"I'm going out, be back tomorrow!" Bea yelled as she was coming out of her room.

"Where are you going?" Amelia asked.

"Dinner with Cee and Graham," Beatrice lied.

"So was Cecillia the one that left that hickey on your collarbone?" Theo eyes his older sister suspiciously.

"Who leaves hickeys on me, it's not any of your business," Bea fake smiled.

"You're fucking lying," Theo scoffed. "You're so full of shit Beatrice, we know you're not going out with your friends."

"What gives you that impression?"

"That you're so happy lately," Amelia hid a smile. "You're happy and you're glowing and you've been smiling instead of frowning."

"Who are you shagging?" Theo narrowed his eyes at her.

"I'm not shagging anyone," Bea rolled her eyes and turned around to leave, "yet."

Once Theo and Amelia saw that Beatrice was out of sight, the rapidly got up from the couch and sprinted down the stairs to hide in a corner of the shop, to see who Beatrice was really going out with. Holding their breaths to not make the slightest noise, their jaws hung open as they saw the tall figure who was standing just outside and waiting for their sister.

"You look beautiful," Fred grinned as Beatrice opened the door.

"Thank you," she smiled and accepted the red roses bouquet he was holding out to her. "You don't look bad yourself."

"You ready to go?" Fred asked after kissing her lips.

"Yeah, I'm gonna put these in the workshop," she nodded and let him in.

After a quick non-verbal disillusionment charm, Amelia and Theo were practically invisible as they saw the interaction between Fred and Beatrice. The two of them were inside her wand workshop while she put the red roses in water and talked about their plans for the night.
