Summary: It’s another seventh year potion class. Given how good friends they are, Chris and Cherry have partnered up for this lesson. That might not turn out to be such a good thing when the potion they are looking at is amortentia...

The rucksack on his back was heavy, thanks to the numerous books Chris had been carrying around for the entire day. That didn’t mean he wasn’t happy though. He’d found himself walking through the corridors of Hogwarts with a smile on his face, eager to get to his last, and arguably favourite, class of the day. He loved potions. It was a subject that truly fascinated him, even if he wasn’t quite as good at it as a certain redhead in the class was.

He spent a lot of time with Cherry anyway, but getting to spend it in potions was different. He got to see her really shine, and it made him smile. It was also a little distracting, but in the best way possible.

As usual he was one of the first to arrive at the class. He walked in, smiling at the professor as they waved their wand at the chalkboard. “Mr. Fleming! Good to see you.” Chris smiled at her. “Good afternoon, Professor,” he replied, heading to his usual seat.

By the time he’d gotten his books and things from his bag, others were walking into the classroom. He looked up at the doorway, finding himself pausing and smiling as Cherry walked in. He was aware that his cheeks felt warm, but they often seemed to around her. Although there was absolutely no need to, he moved his chair over a little to make more space for her.

Headcanon: The worst night of Chris’ life was when Iain turned up at the girls’ place. He can’t remember ever being so scared. He’d moved to put himself between Cherry and the wand that had been pointed at her, but when the threat had been dealt with and they were back at the boys’ place, he didn’t know what to do.

They went to bed, all of them quiet, but the moment that they were in Chris’ room he began to speak. “I promise I will never let anything bad happen to you,” he told Cherry, holding her close.

He’d brushed her hair that night, immediately wrapping her in his arms when they climbed into bed. He continued to whisper this promise into her ear until both were too exhausted and simply fell to sleep.

Headcanon: Chris is still very new to sex, but he’s not overly keen on being too experimental. This limits the positions that he and Cherry have tried out by a lot. This makes it hard for him to choose a favourite.

Headcanon: When Chris has been particularly busy at St. Mungo’s and barely seen Cherry except for saying hi to her in the morning, he’s going to want to do something special for her. He’d catch up on sleep when he has two days off in a row and prepare a romantic night for her.

He’d either order her favourite takeaway for dinner or make her favourite food, whichever she would prefer. He’d buy her flowers, get her favourite wine in, put on her favourite music. He’d light a fire and, after dinner, they’d sit in front of it with the wine.

Headcanon: Chris sucks at taking selfies. He is hopeless at them, because he never quite manages to smile. He’s too busy trying to work out how to take the picture without making it blurry or needing to retake it.

Headcanon: When Flettrick get married, Chris wouldn’t want to get married in a church. It just wouldn’t work for him, since he is not at all religious, and so he’ll want to have something unique and beautiful for him and Cherry, something that means a lot to him.

Eventually the idea of having the wedding at home might come to them. Their home isn’t exactly suitable for it, but the home he grew up, in next door to Mike’s family, is.

Given how close the Fleming and Sutherland families are, they’ll combine forces to make use of both back gardens. Everyone will get involved in decorating, making it into a beautiful and scenic place for the bride and groom. It wouldn’t be a particularly large affair, more of an intimate ceremony for those closest to them.

Chris will be nervous, because let’s be real, when isn’t he nervous? But his best man and bro for life will be beside him. This will be particularly important when Cherry starts walking down the makeshift aisle and Chris looks at her. He is going to be stunned by how beautiful she looks and will definitely need steadying by Mike as he is likely to nearly fall over.

Chris’ favourite part of a date with Cherry is the very beginning. He’s a simple man who believes that his girlfriend is absolutely beautiful and drop dead gorgeous. He sees her and is stunned.
