"Ha-HA! Again, I have bested you!"

Fred sighed dramatically and shook soot out of his ginger hair as he petitioned you;

"One more game, Y/N, just one more, and this time, I'll beat you!"

You winked at him and shuffled the deck of Exploding Snap for the eleventh time that afternoon.

"If you say so, Freddie."

He winked right back and drew the first card-

"I do say so, Y/N/N, yes, I do say so indeed,"

-and it almost immediately went up in smoke with a bang and a flash.
