Lisa stepped out of the castle, breathed in the fresh air, and smiled before making her way to her favorite spot to read. As she passed the Quidditch pitch, she waved to the team that was practicing. Looks like Gryffindors, she thought. They've done well this year. Seeing a few players wave back, she moved on to the patch of trees near the pitch.

About an hour had passed and Lisa was sitting under a large oak tree, studying for her Transfiguration exam. She was trying to turn a leaf into a daisy when a broom stick landed on the ground and she felt someone sit next to her. "Hi. You're Lisa Turpin, Ravenclaw Chaser right?"

Looking over, the first thing she noticed was bright red hair. A Weasley twin. "Yeah," she said, closing the textbook in her lap. "And you're a Gryffindor Beater. Fred Weasley, right?"

"Yeah. Wow, most people can't tell us apart unless they know us really well."

She smiled. "Well, you've got longer hair." Rubbing her arm, she added, "And you broke my arm last year."

"What?" he asked, staring at her.

"Last year, Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw. I had the Quaffle and you hit the Bludger at me to get it away. It worked, but broke my arm in the process."

He looked at the ground guiltily. "Oh. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. No big deal. Did get me noticing you though."

"Oh it did?" he asked with a cheeky grin.

She nodded, blushing slightly.

"Well, then it's only fair to tell you I've noticed you too."

"You have?"

"Yeah," he nodded. "That fake out you pulled against Hufflepuff last week was amazing."

Her blush deepened. "It was nothing, really."

"It was still amazing," he insisted. He gestured to her book. "Studying?"

"Yeah. I keep trying, but I can't seem to turn the leaf into a daisy."

"Well, maybe I can help," he said, scooting closer to her. "Show what you've got so far."

She nodded and said the incantation with a swish of her wand. Nothing happened. The leaf still lay there, crinkled and brown. "That's what happens every time."

"It's okay. I know what you're doing wrong. Here, let me help." Grabbing her wrist gently, he moved her hand. "See that there? You're swiveling your wrist. Don't do that. Try again."

She bit her bottom lip and tried again, using Fred's advice. This time it worked, and instead of a dead leaf on the grass, there was a beautiful white daisy. "I did it!" she exclaimed. "Thanks Fred."

"No problem," he said. Grinning, he picked up the flower and tucked it behind her ear, causing her to blush again.

Just then, Fred's brother, George, flew over and hovered above the couple.
"Oi, Fred! Stop flirting and get your arse back to practice! Break's over!"

"Oh, don't get your knickers in a twist!" Fred yelled back. "I'll be up in a minute!"

Giving the couple another glance, his eyes lingering on Lisa, George sped off back towards the pitch. "You should probably go," Lisa said. "I don't want to get you in trouble."

"It'll be fine," he assured her. He moved to stand up, but paused.

"Hogsmeade is this weekend."

"It is."

"Go with me?" he asked, grabbing his broom.

"Sure," she nodded.

"Wicked." He leaned over and gave her a swift kiss on the cheek. Quickly, before she could say anything, he hopped on his broom and flew off to the pitch.

Smiling, Lisa took the flower out of her hair and smelled it before getting up and making her way back to the dorm, glancing back at the Quidditch pitch every few feet.
