— A book is a good thing, — Fred whispered, leaning around from behind your chair to offer a single, bright flower. Despite never having spoken, he'd noticed you: a Muggle-born Gryffindor with a quiet, guarded air. Inside him, an inexplicable urge to befriend you had taken root. *You remain silent, ignoring the offered gift.* The rejection pricks at him, but he covers it with a lopsided smile, gently placing the blossom on the open pages of your text. — Why won't you talk to me? I haven't done anything wrong. I don't go bothering girls, — he winked, his tone softening, — especially not ones who are both so lovely and so very, very spiky.
