Fred Weasley-Carnival Date

Requested by both @bi4hermoine and @FallingForToms !

I was snuck out of bed. Hermione's snores told me she was sleeping. Good. I pulled on a shirt and some sweatpants, and I stepped down the stairs, making sure not to step on the creaky parts. I entered the common room and looked around. Suddenly I felt someone snake their hands around my waist.

Before I could scream, one of their hands covered my mouth. "Hey shh it's me!" They whispered. I pushed their hand away from my mouth. "Fred! You scared me!" I scolded. He chuckled. "I'm sorry darling, but I have a hell of a way to make it up to you." He said, kissing my cheek softly.

He pulled away and smiled, making me smile as well. "Okay..." I said. He pulled out the Marauder's Map and held my hand, leading us out of the common room. We walked through the halls, taking short cuts to avoid teachers, and long passages to avoid Filch. "Can I ask where we're going?" He shook his head. "It's a surprise." He said, his eyes glinting. He took me through a door, and we entered some sort of a tunnel.

"You've never showed me this place." He didn't respond but continued leading me through. He opened the door on the other side, and we exited into a...pub of some sort? "Is this..." "Hogsmead." He finished. My eyes widened. "The only place we can apparate safely." He explained. I held onto his arm and closed my eyes as he apparated us away.

As my feet landed on soft ground, I opened my eyes. And my eyes widened, staring in awe. In front of me was a brightly lit place. A big ferris wheel towered over many little hubs. As my eyes flitted over the scene, I saw a little shop that sold stuffed animals, a pie eating contest, many little rides, and so much more.

People bustled all around us, kids eating cotton candy, adults chattering. "Muggles call this a carnival." Fred explained. My eyes lit up. "I love it." I told him. He smiled as we ran up to experience the different things. We participated in a pie eating contest in which Fred placed 3rd and I couldn't even finish it. He took me to a game where we were supposed to through a ball into a hoop with a net. "Kind of like quidditch innit?" He said. I nodded. Fred won me a blue stuffed bear.

The last thing we did was go on the ferris wheel. I rested my head on his shoulder. The stars shone above us. It was cold so Fred took off his sweatshirt and gave it to me to wear. I breathed in his scent of cinnamon and vanilla. "So how was this as a second date?" He asked. I looked at him. "Perfect." I looked into his soft brown eyes and the golden light bouncing off his red hair. He always had a slightly sideways smile on him. I leaned in slightly, and so did he. As our lips met, the world melted away.
