Dark Past, Bright Future (Freddie/Vanessa Romance Thread)

[Deleted]

Part One: The First Date.

It finally happened. With help from Roxy, Vanessa was finally able to ask Freddie if he wanted to go out some time. And so here they were. Vanessa wore a pretty, but sensible black dress and low heels. She knew that usually the boy showed up to pick up the girl, but she liked dropping by George and Freddie's shop anyway. After letting George try to embarrass her and Freddie with innocent banter, she waited for her date. Outside, she was calm, but inside she was incredibly excited. She just hoped Freddie felt for her what she did for him.

Vanessa had been a girl that Freddie had liked quite a bit. All through out school. She'd been a friendly person and they'd always been friends. Even now that they had graduated from Hogwarts they still spent plenty of time together. Vanessa had often dropped by his and his father's shop to spend time with him so it had been natural for here to be there instead of him picking her up. His father gave them a bit of banter before they went to go off out on their date. He'd smiled when he saw Vanessa and gave her a hug. ”Come on, before Dad gets any more wild ideas in his head,” he chuckled. They hadn't quite figured where to go but he could spend all day with the girl that had always been his friend.

Vanessa beamed when Freddie gave her a hug. His hug was so strong and he smelled amazing.

"Hey Freddie," she said. "Thank you again for this. I know we're going to have a lot of fun."

She then chuckled about George. She couldn't help but love the guy. Still, she was ready to begin the magical night with Freddie, hoping something amazing would come out of it.

Later...

The Diagon Deep Dish wasn't exactly super romantic, but she and Freddie were hardly at the super romantic point yet. But pizza sounded good and anywhere with Freddie was brilliant as far as she was concerned. As she sat across from him, she smiled.

"You look really nice tonight, Freddie," she said. "I mean, you always do, but still... how's the new position going?"

(Figure some quick banter here and then on to the next scene.)

Freddie smiled as she said thanks for taking her out. ”I'm excited, no need for thanks,” he shook his head. He waved to his father and then wrapped his arm around Vanessa before taking her towards the Diagon Deep Dish. The place really wasn't super romantic but it was good for Vanessa and Freddie. They were together and that was what mattered.

”You look really nice tonight, Freddie. I mean, you always do, but still... how's the new position going?” A blush came to his face as she told him how he looked and then he realized he hadn't said that she looked nice at all. That was very rude of him. ”You look great as well,” he said with a smile, ”as for the position, it's good, I'm trying to figure out how to expand, I think it's due time for us to move around open our doors to new people.”

Vanessa blushed as she bit into her slice of pizza and Freddie said she looked great as well. Him telling her that meant the world to him. She then frowned a bit when he spoke of moving around and expanding.

"Well, I certainly hope you stick around Diagon as well," she said. "Or else I won't have anyone to bring doughnuts too when he misses breakfast." She chuckled a bit at that, but her eyes told him how much she enjoyed seeing him as much as she did.

(We can still chat in the previous scene, but I figured since this is rapid fire, I'd get the next scene going as well.)

After dinner, Vanessa took hold of Freddie's hand without really thinking about it. She smiled at him, hoping he was good with it.

Freddie smiled when she blushed. It was a beautiful sight. But he returned the frown that she gave him when he spoke of expanding Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. ”Well I certainly hope you stick around Diagon as well.” Then she spoke of bringing him doughnuts. A chuckle came as he thought about it. ”Well you know I love doughnuts, but currently I'm looking at pushing out Zonko's from Hogsmeade, setting up shop there would mean we could get business during the school year and not just the bulk of it during summer and winter holidays,” he told her honestly, ”but Hogsmeade isn't that far.”

Freddie had his hand taken by Vanessa and he smiled softly. This he was comfortable with. ”I really enjoyed talking to you, and if the Hogsmeade thing even happens, it's not like we can't keep seeing each other. Or you know, you're welcome to join me out there,” he grinned. Vanessa and Freddie had been friends for a while, this was an easy request from him. If he had to move out to Hogsmeade, he would have loved it if he could have a friend out there with him.

(Date Scene)

Vanessa nodded about Hogsmeade not being that far.

"True, and I know the place up and down if I want to apparate," she said. "I just hope the doughnuts can survive the trip." She laughed a bit at that.

(Post Date)

Vanessa's body almost went limp seeing his smile. No one had a sweeter and sexier smile than Freddie. She then blushed when he invited her to join him in Hogsmeade. Why not? It's not like she couldn't apparate back to Diagon just as easily to continue working for Donalda.

"I'd like to join you, Freddie," she said softly. Then, a bit lost in the moment, she leaned in to kiss him, again hoping for a pleasant response.

(DATE SCENE)
Freddie had chuckled at the thought of the doughnuts not making the trip. ”Well splinted doughnuts will still be just as good as non-splinted doughnuts,” he grinned.

(POST DATE)
Vanessa had smiled and told him that she'd join him in Hogsmeade before leaning in to give him a kiss. The kiss was accepted gratefully and he kissed her back before wrapping his arms around her to hold her close. When the kiss broke he laid his head against her and told her. ”You know you're perfect.”

(It's cool)

(Date Scene)

Vanessa laughed about the doughnuts.

"That's true," she said. "Especially the ones from Bonfire."

(Post Date)

Freddie more than accepted the kiss, he told she was perfect. Vanessa didn't believe that about herself, but it sounded great coming from him.

"You're pretty epic too, Freddie," she said, beaming. "So... guessing we're officially a couple now?"

Vanessa had to take that in for a moment. After all those years... she and Freddie... official? If so, she had just experienced the happiest moment of her life up until that point.
