With just a week until halloween you couldn't stop thinking about an awesome prank to play on the Weasley twins, after all the pranks they played, and are playing, on everyone, even the teachers. Seeing as they didn't even know about halloween made it even more fun. They wouldn't be expecting it. But how could you prank the kings of pranking?
Perhaps by inviting them to the halloween party that all the muggleborns of your year were holding. Have everyone play along. Or during one of the classes. See if a teacher would play along. This still needed some thought, you admitted.
"Dreaming about me, are we?" You were so lost in thought that you hadn't noticed that George had started walking alongside you. "Of course she isn't dreaming about you. You do remember who the better looking twin is, right?" Fred said.
You already thought you were missing someone. "Is there a third twin?" George replied teasingly.
"Oh hey guys." you jumped in. "And no, I wasn't dreaming about either of you. Just thinking. Now, can you stop jibbering? I'm really hungry." You hoped they weren't on to you. You were not the best liar and these two were masters. You really were hungry though.
You sat down between the twins in the great hall. Normally you liked sitting between them, but today it made you nervous. There was no way to turn and you felt trapped, you hoped they wouldn't pick up on it. "Oi, you look nervous, what did you do?" Fred looked at you.
"Hey, there's nothing, just hungry." you said while you started to eat. "You are awfully quiet." George stated.
"My mother taught me not to talk with a mouthful." you hoped that would satisfy him "That never stopped you before" Fred joked and you nearly choked on your food.
"Well, thank you for that." you joked back.
You tried to eat as fast as you could so you could leave and plan the prank a little more. Besides, you were scared that Fred and George would realise that you were planning something. "I'm gonna go already, see you two later." you said while taking your last bite.
"If you wait a couple of second we will come with you." Fred said. "I have homework to do so I'm gonna go to the library, but you are welcome to come with me." you explained while knowing they wouldn't go to the library after dinner. "No, we're good. I don't understand that you want to study after dinner, in that time you should relax." George looked at you as if you asked him to do something horrible. "Don't you two always think it's time to relax?" you joked. You said goodbye to each other and went to the library.
You had been in your room for hours now, lying on the bed as much as pacing through the whole room, trying to think of just something to prank the twins with, but nothing worked out. You had to think of something else.
There was just no prank good enough for those two. You decided to go out for a walk, just to clear your head. As you walked out to to the corridor you heard a familiar voice come your way. "I thought you were of studying in the library. Yet here you are." Fred threw an arm around your shoulder. "Actually I was looking for you."
His voice sounded more serious than it had before. "How come?" you answered curiously. "Well," Fred went on. "you heard about the halloween party the muggleborns are throwing right? I mean, I'm not trying to be rude or so, but seeing as you are a muggleborn and all... I don't mean it in a mean way or so.. you know.. but..." "Don't worry about it, Fred." you laughed at his clumsiness.
It was funny to see a guy that never really ran out of words or ever was shy suddenly become it. "And yes, I have heard about it. Was that your question?" you continued. "Ehmm.. No, not really. See, I can't go because I'm not a muggleborn. But if I come with someone that is, that's fine. I asked." He paused for a moment and stopped walking. You stopped as well and turned around slightly so you were face to face with Fred. "Y/N, would you like to go to the party with me? Or like, take me as your plus one?"
He was so sweet, the way he his cheeks turned red. You had never seen him like this. You had thought of him as the
always confident guy. "Yeah, I'd like that." you answered with the same blush appearing on your cheeks. "I'd really like that." "Great, then that's a date. Pick you up at 7. Oh, and you look lovely with those cute red cheeks love." His confidence was back like it had never left. His typical grin was back on his face and with a wink he walked on, around the corner and was gone. You stood there still, with a smile that you could no longer hide. He was just... Well... Fred. Why would you prank him? You let the idea fly and started walking back to your room. You wanted to look amazing tomorrow, so you had to start thinking about what to wear. A date it is.
"Hermione, can I talk to you for a second?" you asked your best friend while you were getting ready for bed. "Sure Y/N, what's on your mind?" She asks and sat down on your bed. "Well, you know about the muggle halloween party don't you? Fred asked me to go with him, well, he asked me if I can take him because he can't go by himself.
But he got really clumsy asking me and I don't know if he really wants to go with me, or that he just really wants to go and has to go with a muggleborn." You explained. Hermione thought about it for a while."I know you really like him but maybe he just wants to go to the party. But have you thought about a costume yet? Cause i don't think Fred knows that you need to dress up. Maybe if you go dressed up as an iconic couple, maybe he gets a subtle hint."
Hermione gave you a wink and went to bed. That was actually a very good idea, if he didn't like it you could always tell him that that's just a halloween tradition, he wouldn't know. But what couple would you dress up as? it's not like there were so many things around here that you could use. So its needs to be easy and a couple, maybe Bonnie and Clyde. Luckily we could still go to hogsmeade to shop for it before the party you thought as you fall asleep.
The next morning you woke up completely sure of it. Bonnie and Clyde it is. You went of to hogsmeade, bought some old fashioned clothes in their style and just had to guess Fred's size. But you got it all.
You finished your last classes and went of to get dressed. Everything, down to the suitcase, looked great. Hopefully Fred's outfit would fit just as great.
It was 7:03 and a knock on the door. You opened up to see a confused looking Fred on the other side of the door. "What on earth are you wearing?" he said. "We're going as Bonnie and Clyde. You know halloween is dress up right?" you answered teasingly, knowing very well what the answer would be. "Sorry, as who? Am I supposed to know who they are? And no, no one told me it was dress up." Fred said with a worried face. "They were world famous robbers. At least, world famous in the muggle world apparently. Here's your outfit. Go see if it fits." You handed him the clothes and turned your back to give him some privacy.
"This looks pretty good, actually. And it's quite comfortable." Fred said a moment later. You turned around. He looks even more handsome. The clothes fitted him perfectly and suited him great. "You look rather dashing there, sir." you said sarcastically and with a smile.
"Why thank you, my lady. You're looking rather beautiful yourself." he answered with his cheeky grin. "Of we go then." he said as he offered you his arm. You didn't hesitate a moment and took it, butterflies filling your stomach.
The night was perfect. Great music, people dancing. It was lovely, and a little scary. Some people had really devoted themselves to their character. It looked amazing. After having to explain a lot of the costumes to Fred he asked you "Wanna go for a dance, love?" He didn't even wait for the answer, although it would have of course been yes. He grabbed your arm and of you went. After dancing for at least two hours, the two of you went out for some fresh air.
"I'm having a great time." Fred stated with a big smile on his face."So am I." you replied with the same smile. "I'm glad." Fred said, and you hear his tone get more serious."I've been meaning to tell you something, Y/N." he continued. He looked you straight in the eyes."I like you. I like you a lot." "I like you too." you answered completely stunned. And there it was, that kiss you had been dreaming about. Even better than in your dream, and it was an amazing dream. his soft lips on yours. His breath on your cheek and his hands on your neck and waist. This moment, right here, was just perfect.
