Chapter 34: First date

Alexis

After the twins found me passed out in the corridor they haven't left my side. They wanted to prank her but I reminded them if they got caught I would receive more detention. By the time I Finished my three weeks of detention it was time for the hogsmead trip.

"A.J I've realized we've never had a first date." Fred stated one day after potions.

"And what will for do about it?" I say smiling.

"Well...." He says quickly grabbing my right hand . Sadly the scars form three weeks of writing are still there and sore so I wince.

"Oh my god I'm sorry." Fred says realizing what he did and he quickly let's go and starts to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.

"Fred. It's fine. Now what were you going to say?"

"Oh right. Well I was wondering if you'd want to go to hogsmead with me on a date?"

"I would love too." I sat kissing his check and heading to Care of magical creatures.

The next day snow was falling lightly as I woke up and got ready for my date with Fred. I wore a grey sweater with skinny jeans and ugg brown boots. I met him at the entrance to the great hall.

"You look beautiful." He said kissing me.

"You look handsome." I reply. Fred was wearing a blue plaid shirt and brown coat with jeans and black converse.

"Shall we go?" He asks.

"We shall." I agree. We then begin to walk to hogsmead. On are way there we see Brayden and Keefe together. Holding hands and laughing!

"You don't think?" I ask.

"It's possible." He shrugs. "I thought she was two years older then him."

"Now she's 16 and Keefe will turn 16 in March. Brayden and Caden were smart enough to be moved up a two years."

"Now wonder their in ravenclaw." He laughs. "Where to?"

We think for a moment before shouting "Zonko's!"

"You know what the say. Great minds think alike." I grin.

"Yeas they do." He says and kisses my head.

After we shop at Zonko's we head to The Three Broomsticks.

Fred finds us a booth and orders two butterbeers. "So how've you been. You know with Umbridge and all." He says eyeing my right hand.

"Fred I'm fine. And it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

"Good. And don't believe any of the stuff she tells you to write."

"Don't worry I don't." I say kissing his check. After we finished are butterbeers we head to Honeydukes. I got a couple of chocolate frogs and sugar quills which Fred paid for much to my protesting.

"You should've have paid for those." I groan.

"It's a date and it's my job to spoil my beautiful girlfriend." Fred said on the way back to hogwarts. 

"I'm not beautiful." I say.

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not. I'm not even pretty." I say looking at my shoes.

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are!"

"Fred stop it. Your making me feel bad by saying stuff that isn't true."

"A.J you are an amazing, beautiful person." Fred said strongly.

I just shook my head "why do you care?" I ask softly.

"GODDAMIT ALEXANDRA! IT'S BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU. AND IT MALES ME ANGRY YOU THINK SO LOWLY OF YOURSELF. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT!" He yelled.

"I lied ok. I believe most of the stuff Umbridge makes me write. I didn't at first but after awhile I started to. I'm also not the skinniest girl there is. You love me?" i said tears streaming.

"Yes I do now Let me see your hand." He said softly. I shook my head no. But that didn't stop Fred from grabbing it. I am worthless. No one loves you. I am ugly. We're carved into my hand.

"Aw. A.J. Your aren't any of those things. " Fred said wrapping my in a hug.

"You're smart." He said kissing my head.

"You're talented." He said kissing my right check.

"You're very very loved." He said kissing my left check.

"And most important you are the most beautiful girl in the world." He said kissing me in the lips.

"Now I want to hear you say it." He said.

"I'm smart. I'm talented. I'm very very loved. I am beautiful." I whisper.

"Again but louder. "

"I'm smart. I'm talented. I'm very very loved. I am beautiful." I say in my normal voice.

"One more time and shout it." He smiles.

"I'm smart. I'm talented. I'm very very loved. I am beautiful." I shout and everyone looks at me and I start to laugh.

"Better?"

"Better. Thank you Fred. You're the best and I love you too. ." I say and hug him.

"Now let's get back." He says and we walk hand in hand.
