Enchanted [Fred Weasley]

Twenty

"I can't believe you're going on a date today!" Aspen cried.

"Aspen, you won't follow us around, right?"

"Well, I won't do it on purpose."

"Aspen."

"Okay!"

"I still can't believe you're going on a date." Ashton chimed. "I mean, I thought I'd be the first to have a date."

"Oh whatever! Anyway, I have to go, see you guys when I get back!"

"Hello, Grace." Two familiar voices greeted.

"Hello Fred, hello George."

"Heading to Hogsmeade?" George asked.

"I am."

"Good, we can talk about a pranking opportunity on the way."

"Actually, I'm going with someone."

"Who?" They both asked.

"Grace!" The three looked up to see Lewis running towards Grace.

"Him." Grace replied with a smile. She walked away from the twins and towards Lewis.

"Hello, Lewis."

"Hello, are you ready?"

"One second," Grace ran back towards the twins. "We can talk about this pranking thing later." She gave the two a smile and then left back towards Lewis.

On the way to Hogsemeade Grace learned a lot about Lewis. He lived in Ireland with his mother and father. He also had a younger sister who was in her third year.

"What's her name?" Grace asked.

"Kyla."

"Kyla? I like that."

"What about you? Any siblings?" Grace found her fingers flying up to her necklace.

"Well, my parents were planning to have another kid."

"How come they never did?"

"My mum passed away."

"Oh."

"Yeah, but your sister, is she Slytherin too?"

"Yes."

"Were your parents?"

"My mother was, but my father was a Hufflepuff."

"That's always nice."

"What about yours?"

"Mum was a Ravenclaw and my dad was a Gryffindor. My mum hated him." Lewis laughed.

"So that journal of yours, what do you write in it?"

"Just random things. It's nothing that important."

"Even though you write in it all the time."

"I add things all the time."

"Good to know."

The rest of the day Lewis and Grace walked around Hogsmeade. They went into different shops and bought different things. Grace found herself not wanting to return to Hogwarts. Alas, the fun had to come to an end.

"I had a great time today, thank you Lewis."

"Anytime, and I had a great time as well."

"We'll have to do it again sometime."

"Does that mean you want to go on a second date?" Grace smiled.

"Yes, it means I want to go on a second date."

"The feeling is mutual."

"Good."

"'ll talk to you later."

"Okay." Lewis smiled.

"Bye, Grace."

"Bye." Lewis turned and disappeared around a corner.

"How did it go?" Grace jumped, nearly falling over.

"Aspen!"

"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to know how your date went."

"It was fine." Aspen smirked.

"Just fine?"

"Okay, it was great!"

"I knew it!"

"So great that there will be a second one?"

"No.....Yes."

"That's amazing!"

"It's kind of overwhelming. I mean I went from not having a crush on anyone to going on a date." Aspen threw her arm around Grace's shoulders.

"Reese is missing a lot."

"That she is. Enough about me, how did your day go?" Aspen rolled her eyes.

"Started great, then we ran into that Harley girl. Ugh, I hate her."

"Hate is a strong word."

"Well, hate is also a strong feeling."

"What did she do?"

"Just teasing us and being a git. The usual Slytherin ordeal."

"Lewis isn't a git."

"I don't know that yet."

"He's really nice actually. And very kind to me."

"Oh I forgot to tell you something!"

"What?"

"Fred and George need to see you."

"Oh, yeah. Not tonight, if you find them tell them I'll talk to them tomorrow."

"Where are you going?"

"To my room. I'll talk you later Aspen!"
