Classes were over for the day and a certain Gryffindor bookworm was sitting on an old comfy sofa in front of the fireplace, reading, as usual, when in through the portrait hole bursts one half of infamous Weasley twins. He steals the spot beside her, putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Hello Fred," she says
"Hullo Mia, whatcha reading?" he asks innocently
"Just a muggle book," she responds not looking up from her book
he nods and uses his free hand to pluck the book out of her hands and place on the coffee table in front of them
"Well I have a better idea than just sitting here for the rest of the day," he says
"Oh yeah, what is this 'better idea' you have?" she asks, looking up at him
"Well, you'll just have to come with me if you want to find out," he answers pulling her to her feet. "Go put on some warm clothes and meet me back here in 10 minutes," he orders
"Yes sir," she says saluting and walking up the dorm room stairs
Exactly 10 minutes later Fred Weasley was dragging Hermione Granger through the halls and secret passages of the school, until finally they came up to an abandoned part of the school. The snow on the ground was untouched, the tree tops were glistening, and the sun was just beginning to set.
"Oh Fred, it's beautiful," Hermione breathes
"Just like you," he answers
"Do you have to be so cheesy?" she asks shoving him lightly while laughing
"Always, my love" he answers, laughing along with her.
She shivers and stuffs her hands in her pockets. He pulls his wand out and casts a heating charm on them both, and as they walk down the empty courtyard the snow begins to fall softly around them, she lays her head on his shoulder while he slides his arm protectively around her waist. They walk like this, admiring the sights until they come across a small cleared out area. Fred lets go of her and tells her to close her eyes, which she reluctantly agrees to do after much persuasion on Fred's part. After a moment of silence she decides that something is not right, and her suspicions are confirmed when something hits her back. She turns around to see her boyfriend standing there, hands full of snowballs and a smug grin on his face.
"You will pay for that Fred Weasley!" she yells playfully, bending down and grabbing a handful of snow and chucking at him. it hits him in his chest and he yells "This means war!" at the top of his lungs. One hour and many snowballs later it was pitch black, Fred and Hermione were freezing, heating charms long worn-off, and soaking wet.
"I t-think that we should h-head inside n-now F-fred," she says, teeth chattering.
"I a-agree, M-mia," Fred answers.
He casts a drying charm on the both of them and they walk back inside, still shivering. It only takes them a few minutes to get back to the common room, but instead of it being crowded and noisy it seems deserted, Hermione checks the watch on her wrist
"Oh Merlin," she exclaims "Fred, dinner is almost done, there's only 5 minutes left and it will take it at least 10 minutes to change out of these clothes!"
"It's okay, I've got a plan. Go get changed into your pajamas and meet me back down here when you're done." he tells her running up the boys stairs.
True to her word, Hermione is changed and in the common room in 10 minutes, just as everyone starts filling in from the great hall. She spots Fred in the crowd of people and walks over to him. She sees that he is wearing a dark green sweater, one of the famous Weasley family sweaters that Molly makes, and also that he has something in his hand.
"I brought something for you," he says holding up the dark green sweater in his hand "I thought that you might still be a bit cold. It's one of my old sweaters and it doesn't really fit anymore, but it might still be big on you."
"Thank you, Fred," she says, pulling the sweater over her head.
The sweater is a bit big but it instantly makes her feel warmer, and it smells like Fred.
He grabs her hand and once again drags her through the halls of the school. They reach a hallway that is unfamiliar to Hermione and Fred tells her to go wait behind the tapestry across the hall until he comes back. He comes back 10 minutes later with hot chocolate and cookies and they take a secret passage back to the common room. By the time they make it back to the common room, almost everyone had gone up to the dorms. They made themselves comfortable on the sofa closest to the fireplace and began eating, drinking, and talking. Sometime during their conversation both of them had drifted to sleep, only to wake up in each other's arms when George had come looking for Fred in the morning.
