Open!

BANG!

The sound was heard loud and clear throughout the fifth floor. Loud, obnoxiously pounding footsteps followed, as Fred ran away from the scene of the crime.

What he'd left was not only a hole in the wall, but the start of some serious floor corrosion. It wasn't really on purpose. So what if he'd dribbled a little corroding puddy? They were

Marlow blinked at the scene in front of her.

"Fred?" she asked him, curiously, as she came closer toward him. "What in the world is so funny?"

[marlow]

"I'd go with the latter," she agreed, letting out another giggle.

"Fred, you're brilliant, you know that right?" she told the boy, realizing how much she missed talking to him.

They never speak very much after he and Harry broke up.

[fred6weasley]

"I do know, actually," he said, a cocky grin adorning his face. "But I love being told."

It really was too bad that Marlow and Harry were so close.. wait.

Fred had an idea.

"Um, hey Marlow?" His face turned a tad more serious.

[marlow]

There went those eyebrows again.

"Yes, Fred?"

[fred6weasley]

He swallowed tightly and looked away.

"Uh, how's Harry?"

[marlow]

"Oh."

Marlow's brows furrowed, and she hugged her books tightly to her chest.

"He's doing really well," she said, honestly.

[fred6weasley]

Fred nodded, expecting to hear something like that.

"Good," he said, quietly. "I'm glad."

[marlow]

"How are you doing?" she asked him suddenly.

"I mean, I haven't really talked to you in a while."

[marlow]

She may not have talked to him in awhile, but Fred hadn't thought about himself.

"I'm..." he paused. Really, he didn't know. He wasn't neccesarily bad, per se, but he definitely wasn't good, either.

After thinking for a few moments, he shrugged. "Yeeah..."

[marlow]

She swung her free arm around Fred's shoulder and gave him a broad grin.

"Yeaah?" she repeated playfully. "Well, alright, I see. So - aside from burning holes in our beloved school, what else are you up to?"

[fred6weasley]

Fred bumped his hip into hers. "Um, brewing up random things," he said half shrugging.

"But how about you? How's the Marlow?"

[marlow]

"The Marlow is doing pretty damn good," she said, grining spite of herself.

"Things are going really well, actually."

[fred6weasley]

He grinned back. "You got yourself a man?"

[marlow]

"You could say that," she said with a wink.

[fred6weasley]

"Ooooh," Fred teased. "What's his name?"

[marlow]

"Quincey Roland," she said, smiling.

She wasn't sure how Fred would react to that, but at this point, what could she do?
