Okay, pass me the moonstone powder," you requested, holding your hand out.
"What's the magic word?" your potion's partner, Fred Weasley, asked in a sing-song voice.
You glared at him. "Please?"
"There you go," he winked, passing you the tube.
You took it out of his hand, not breaking eye contact. He put his hands up in defeat.
Professor Snape had place everyone in partners to create a draught of peace for a project, and, as always, you were put with Fred Weasley.
He was in most of your classes, and you thought it was strange how you were always partnered with him.
Not that you entirely minded.
He was very cute, you couldn't deny that, but he was very mischievous, and you never got in trouble.
"So, (Y/N)-"
"Shh, Fred! We have to get the measurements right or this'll put someone in a bloody coma," you warned.
"Just trying to start conversation," he answered.
A few moments of silence passed.
"Wait, you forgot to add this." Fred poured in a mysterious powder.
"What was that?" You questioned.
"The-uh-powdered porcupine quills," he stammered.
You furrowed your eyebrows. "I don't think it's supposed to be that color," you said, looking in your potions textbook.
"I'm sure it's fine," he said, attempting to hide a smirk.

"Okay, let's see how you've done," Professor Snape said, walking towards you and Fred.
You lifted up the lid, but as soon as the top came off the cauldron, the potion blew up, leaving nothing but smoke.
Professor Snape scowled at you and Fred.
"Detention tonight for the both of you, and ten points will be taken from both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff," he said angrily, moving onto the next pair of students.
"Oh my god..." You breathed, eyes completely wide.
"What?" Fred asked, looking over at you.
"I just got detention... I-I've never gotten detention, not once." Your heart began pounding fast.
"Hey, it's not that bad. Trust me, I've been detention many times," he chuckled. You didn't laugh.

Detention with Professor Snape seemed to last forever; he had made you both wipe down the tables of the classroom.
Suddenly, Professor McGonagall stepped into the room.
"Professor Snape, I need your assistance. There's a student stuck in... Well... Just come with me, please," she said frantically.
Snape put down his book, looked up at the clock, and sighed.
"Fine, you both stay here while I go tend to this," he said, walking out of the room.
You put down your rag and took a seat, hiding your face in your hands.
"What's wrong?" Fred asked in a concerned tone.
"I'm not speaking to you, Weasley," you spat, keeping your face in your hands.
"What? Why?"
"Because, you're the whole reason we're in detention!"
"How?!"
"I'm pretty positive that it wasn't porcupine quills you poured into the cauldron," you growled, looking up at him.
He opened his mouth to speak, but stayed quiet.
"Yeah, I thought so," you said quietly, putting your face back in your hands.
Fred pulled up a chair in front of you.
It was silent between the two of you for a few seconds.
"You know what's weird?" Fred asked, breaking the silence.
"What?" You responded quietly, looking up at him.
"How we're always partnered up in projects," he answered. You let out a small laugh, making Fred grin.
"So, you do smile. I don't think I've ever seen you smile before,"
You shrugged, a tiny smirk still on your face.
"You should smile more; you've got a beautiful one," he said softly, gazing into your eyes. Heat began rising up your cheeks and you quickly looked down again to hide them.
Fred slowly lifted your chin so that you were gazing back at him.
"(Y/N)? Can I ask you something?"
"Y-yeah,"
"Do you hate me?"
"Not at all,"
"Do you like me?"
"...In what way?"
He inched closer to you so that your faces were close together, making your heart pound.
"As in 'more than just a project partner'," Fred smirked, glancing down at your lips and back to your eyes.
"Maybe..."
"Well, I like you. Quite a lot, actually," he said softly, his lips slightly brushing against yours.
"Show me, then."
As soon as you finished your sentence, you felt Fred's lips crash into yours. You could feel him smiling as you kissed. He wrapped his arms around your waist whilst you ran your fingers through his hair.
"Okay, as much as I love snogging you right now, we might wanna look busy so Snape doesn't give us more detention," you said once you pulled away, smiling up at Fred.
"Mmm, well, if detention with you involves more of this," he placed a kiss on your neck.
"I wouldn't mind much."
