Fred's POV:

"And her hair..." I closed my eyes, imagining myself next to her."

"Okay, brother, I get it. You're attracted to her. Now could you just please stop talking-"

"She said she liked my laugh. SHE FOUND MY LAUGH CUTE!" I continued. "She found me cute. Not Teddy. Not James. ME! Can you believe that?"

I heard Roxanne sigh. "No, I actually can't." She nudged my shoulder. "Now come on. We will be late if you don't hurry."

She started dragging me down the stairs while I continued my day dreaming about Raven.

She is the most beautiful person I have ever met...

"Hey ginger!"

I turned my head back and found Raven waving at me at the beginning of the stairs. 

"Is it just me, or did she just acknowledged me?" I whispered to Roxanne while watching Raven climb up the stairs towards us.

"You know what? I think I've heard enough of my twin brother's love towards a girl. I'll leave you two alone now." She disappeared somewhere behind me but I didn't bother to look back to her. Since I have a way better view in front of me.

"H-hey!" My voice cracked and I could feel my ears burning. Pull yourself together Fred!

"Hey," She looked at me up and down for a very long time. "Do you have any classes right now?"

"Do you?" I asked in response.

"No, I do not. And if you don't have a lesson to attend right now either, I would like you to join me in the library."

I started choking on my own spit while shaking my head yes to her. 

"Great." She turned around and started going down the stairs.

"I'm Fred by the way," I went on while running behind her to catch up.

"I'm aware, yes." 

My Godric, she walks fast!

We were standing in front of the library's door in a few minutes and Raven pushed the door open.

Does this count as a date? It should. It definitely should.

Bloody hell am I on a first date with Raven right now? 

How am I suppose to act?! 

Pull yourself together, idiot!

We sat down on a small table at the corner of the library.

"So uhm, do you like..." think something. "sweatshirts?"

You're bloody kidding me right?

She shrugged "I suppose." She got back up and grabbed my upper arm. "Come on."

I quickly got up and followed her. "Where are we going?"

"What kind of books do you like?"

"The ones with... uhm" she stopped in front of a massive book case and waited for my answer. "the ones that have sad endings."

She smiled and and tip toed to reach the fourth book shelve. "I have the best recommendation for you then."

She grabbed a thin book and came back to stand next to me. "So what's it about?"

She grinned. "Where's the fun in that? You have to read it to find out."

"Oh, okay." I nodded my head, watching her look at me with her very pretty eyes.

"Why are you looking at my eyes like that?" She asked, making me look away and clear my throat.

"Because they're pretty?"

"Oh," she pushed her hair behind her ears. "Thank you. I like your freckles."

I leaned my back to a book case. "Oh yeah?" 

"Yeah, makes you look bad ass."

"Thanks."

"Hey um, can you reach for that book for me?" She pointed at the book shelve right behind her and I nodded. "Here," she took the book I was holding. "I will hold this for you."

One of my hands was in my pocket while the other one reached for the shelve behind her head. "Which one-"

I felt two soft lips touch my cheek and my body froze.

Froze as in, my brain is not able to function anymore.

OH MY GODRIC!

THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN THIS WHOLE CASTLE JUST KISSED MY CHEEK.

I moved back and handed her a random book while she smiled at me.

"Thanks." She walked away to our table and sat down on a chair, opening her book to start reading.

I grabbed my book tighter and went to sit next to her.

"What are you doing on Saturday?" I asked with a low voice.

"Nothing."

"Do you like butter beer?"

She shrugged looking up from her book. "I don't know. I've never tried it before."

"You what?!" I put my book down and leaned forward. "Are you out of your bloody mind? It's one of the best drinks in the world!"

A person who never drank butter beer? What century are we living in?!

"Okay okay. Jeez, calm down big boi"

"We are going to make you try a butter beer on Saturday. So don't make plans."

"Okay." She smiled, grabbing her book once again.

A/N: sorry for not being active for a very long time!!!

I thought another character's POV would be a good apology.

Also, I know Fred is literally fan girling over Raven. But I thought it would be nice to put a serious and calm character with a silly, cute one.
