Chapter 16: How Do You Eat Your Jelly Beans?

Fred and Hermione were having a lovely time with their secret rendezvous that no one knew about (except their immediate families, of course). And that was a very good thing, since they didn’t want anyone to know about their relationship or, in essence, they would be screwed. Hermione would lose her job. Fred would lose his title to Draco Malfoy. Neither are very nice outcomes.

Soon enough, Hermione’s article was edited and featured in Magical Witch’s special Valentine’s Day February edition (which came out the last week of January).

And here is the fabulous article.

To Be or Not to Be…Fred Weasley By Hermione Granger

When you think of the world’s most eligible bachelor, what do you think of? Success? Absolutely. Wealth? Most definitely. Looks? Without a doubt. Single status? This man is a bachelor, of course! Well, if you don’t know already, the world’s most eligible bachelor is indeed thee Fred Weasley. The one and only, unattached, handsome, wealthy and successful wizard Fred Weasley.

When you think of the world’s most eligible bachelor, there are also some unappealing stereotypical connotations that go along with this title. But, you are in luck; Fred Weasley has no such flaws. He is the quintessential most eligible bachelor.

I was assigned to dig deep and bring out the true Fred Weasley. Sure, it is quite apparent that this extraordinarily fit red-headed male, who stands at about 1.9 metres (6 feet 2 inches for you Americans), is eye candy, but appearance can’t account for everything.

First, let us ponder the success of Mr. Weasley. Yes, it is true that he never finished his schooling at Hogwarts, but he did begin one of the world’s most successful joke shop franchise with his twin brother George. I have been allowed to disclose to the public how exactly they came about with the funding for their business, and I shall be the first person ever to do so. One name is key: Harry Potter. Fred and George got their humble beginnings with Harry Potter’s Triwizard winnings, which he gave to them willingly at the end of his fourth year. Since then, Fred and George have been indebted to him.

In relation to wealth, Fred is loaded (and George is too, but he’s not a bachelor, now is he?). Yet, Fred doesn’t spend his money unless it’s absolutely necessary. Generally, he uses a small fraction of his wealth for future products and for advertising. Also, Fred donates a larger fraction of his money to charity. You know that new children’s wing at St. Mungo’s? Entirely Fred and George.

In the appearance department, Fred is dashing. He likes to keep his deep red hair somewhat on the longish side, just because George wears his short. (They’re long past the matching twin phase.) He is, as I’ve already said, 1.9 metres tall. He has that runner’s-like build, long limbs with just enough noticeable muscle. His torso, he claims, is something to swoon at (therefore, he didn’t show me); a six-pack and other such things. (Quite an image must be forming.) And the miraculous thing about his physique is that he works out when he can, or rather when he wants to, and this happens to be approximately one to two hours a week. He possesses gorgeous hazel eyes; they change colour, with extremes set off by his emotions. His smile is contagious, brilliant in every way. To say the least, he’s perfect.

Let’s see some of his other qualities. Fred is intelligent, though his prankster demeanor illustrates otherwise at times. He can make anyone laugh; so much that changing colours due to a lack of oxygen is a side-effect. (Laughter, you must know, add years to your life.) If you’re a horrible cook, such as me, you would never have to cook again because Fred would cook for you. A few words that come to mind to describe Fred are charismatic, generous, kind, and genuine. He’s an A-class kind of guy.
