Where: Gryffindor Common Room When: 7pm Who: Brie && @rattypeterâ
She wasnât one to take ages getting ready. Her hair was better a day or two after a wash anyway and her outfit was quick and easy to throw on. It meant she was in the common room earlier than most, sat on the arm of one of the sofas, chewing on the edge of her thumbnail. She felt nervous, though she wasnât exactly sure why. Yes, it was a little strange and intimidating that she had a date with Peter Pettigrew. An older man, as her brother had teased her when she met with her siblings in Hogsmeade over the weekend. One of the infamous Marauders.
The cards had told her it was right. They had said yes. She must just feel nervous because it was rather public for a first date and, well, because it felt pretty serious to see that Wheel of Fortune card in Peterâs hand. Not only did it mean yes in matters of the heart but it meant change, it meant fate. It meant so many possibilities and Brie was enamoured by the idea.
She looked up every time somebody descended the boysâ staircase and remained on her perch as the room filled up with excitable students and pre-drinks. Finally, it was the boy she had been waiting for who appeared and she beckoned him over with a wave and a âHi.â She stumbled a little as she stood up too quickly for the heels on her feet and her cheeks went pink but she felt a buzz of excitement now he was there.
