I Do | Fred Weasley x Reader

chapter 43

I look at myself through the full-length mirror and smile, thinking I look okay. I look at Pansy and she smiles.

"You look amazing. What's the occasion?" she asks.

"I'm finally going on a date with Fred" I say, smiling "Can't talk. Need to run" I say before she can say anything, running out of my dormitory and out the common room.

Fred looks at me and smiles, blushing heavily.

"You look... stunning"

"You look... I don't know what to say. Do I say you look sexy? I can't say that even though you are" I say, but cover my mouth immediately "I am so sorry" I say, facepalming myself and feeling myself go red.

"What're you sorry about? Come on, I have treat for you" Fred says, putting his arm out again.

"Okay" I say lightly, taking his arm.

He takes me to the Black Lake and I see a little picnic blanket set out, 2 bottles of what smelt like butterscotch and a cute little picnic basket.

"Well, you said you can't go to Hogsmeade, so I thought I'd bring Hogsmeade to you" Fred says, gesturing to the picnic.

I smile and Fred goes to the picnic, patting next to him for me to sit. I do so and he takes the basket, opening it.

"I've got my favourites from the 2 greatest shops there. And once we're done here, I thought we could maybe pay a little visit to our good friend Filch"

"It's amazing, but how did you get this ready so quickly?" I ask.

"The house elves in the kitchens" Fred says, making me nod my head "First, from Honeydukes, is a few items. I got Bertie Bott's, Caldron Cakes, Pumpkin Pasties and Sugar Quills" Fred puts all the items on the blanket "What do you wanna try first?"

"Oh, um... I'll try a Sugar Quill" I say, picking it up.

I suck on the end of it and moan in delight.

"It's so good!" I say, biting a bit of it off.

"Okay, try this" Fred gives me a Caldron Cake and I hold the quill with my L/R hand, using the other to feed myself the cake.

I take a bite and feel like I'm in heaven.

"I need to go to Hogsmeade one of these days" I say, taking another bite of my cake.

I put it down and eat the rest of my quill, just making small talk with Fred. Once I finish it, I pick up the Bertie Bott's and open it.

"Ooh, you go first" I say, almost shoving it into Fred's hands.

"Why? You scared?" he asks.

"Yeah" I say.

"Okay" he says cheerfully, taking a bean and hesitating before putting it in his mouth.

"Oh, blueberry" Fred says, sighing in relief.

"God, I'm scared" I say, not wanting to take the box.

"Come on! I did it. If you get a bad one, just spit it out or something" Fred says.

"Oh, I don't want to do this" I say, taking the box and putting my hand in it.

I pick up a bean and look at it carefully.

"Just put it in your mouth" Fred says.

I grab his hand, holding it tightly, and shove the bean into my mouth, chewing quickly.

"EW!" I yell, getting up and running to the Black Lake, spitting the bean in it "Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!"

"What did you get?"

"I got earthworm!" I say, sitting back down, Fred laughing at me.

I grab another bean and put it in his mouth, waiting for his reaction. He turns to me and starts chewing. He smiles, but then frowns.

"Dirt" he says simply, but swallows.

"Ew! Who swallows dirt?!" I ask, playfully pushing him.

"People who have done this for years. I can handle any flavour"

"Fine then" I say and pick up another, giving it or him.

He chews and swallows.

"Cherry"

I give another.

"Black pepper"

And another.

"Bogey"

I give him 3.

"Banana... rotten egg and... soap" Fred says, swallowing "My turn"

"Crap" I say, a little scared.

Fred takes the box and hands me a bean. I hesitantly eat it, trying to chew and swallow quickly.

"Ugh ew! It's earwax" Fred gives me another "It's" I gag and cough a little "Vomit"

Fred gives me 3 and I put them in my mouth.

"Grass, cinnamon and... lemon!" I say coughing.

Fred laughs at me as I gesture for a drink. I quickly pick up a bottle of a butterscotch-smelling drink and chug half of it down, coughing a little.

"You idiot! I almost died!" I say, but he chuckles.

"Died from jellybeans?" Fred asks.

"Y- yeah" I say, taking another swig of my drink "Oh, this is really nice. What is it?" I ask, Fred taking his and having a drink.

"Butterbeer" Fred says simply.

I take a Pumpkin Pasty, taking a bite from it. This tastes oddly like... betrayal?

"I got a Fanged Flyer from Zonko's" Fred takes out a disk-like object with fangs on it.

"Ooh, that looks scary. Let's put that away before I accidently hurt myself, or you" I say, taking it and putting it back in the basket, Fred chuckling "Anything else?" I ask.

"No. There aren't really any good shops other than Zonko's, 3 Broomsticks and Honeydukes" Fred says.

I smile and hug him tightly, him hugging me back.

"Thank you for this. I've been so... stressed lately. It's nice to just have a relaxing date with you" I say, pulling back, but staying in his embrace.

I see him glance at my lips for a second, before my eyes. I lean forwards and close the gap between us, deepening the kiss as I sit in his lap, his hands running to my waist as mine go to his neck.

I slowly pull away, leaning my forehead on his. I bite my lip lightly and Fred smiles, pecking my lips.

"What do you wanna do now?" he asks, laying back on the blanket.

I lay next to him and he wraps his arm around my shoulder as I rest my arm over his chest.

"How 'bout we cloud gaze. Or whatever it's called"

"Okay" Fred says, looking up at the sky.

"Oh yeah, what's this about the Marauder's Map?" I ask, turning to Fred.

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs' map of the castle" Fred says.

"Padfoot, eh?" I say, smiling.

"What about him?"

"Oh nothing" I say, looking back at the sky.
