It was the day we were leaving to go back to Hogwarts. My mothers "funeral" was yesterday and it went well. It was of course filled with lots of crying though.

In the middle of my thoughts, I didn't notice the door open and someone walk in. Turning my head, I saw Fred and George both sit down across from me. Just like last school year, Fred comforted me until I stopped crying last night.

Everyone from school knew what happened and their were rumors going around already. I wanted to curl up in a ball and forget what happened. I didn't want any of this to happen. I just wanted my family to be whole again.

I didn't want a death eater in the family, and most importantly, I wanted my mother back. She was the world to me.

Again being stuck in my thoughts, I didn't notice the single tear that slid down my face. I also didn't notice Fred sit next to me.

Turning towards him, I hid my face in his robes. He hugged me tight. The rainy day matched my mood perfectly. I just wanted to be happy again.

-----------------------//---------------------
Fred's POV
Here I was, hugging her again. George got up and left the compartment so we could be left alone.

I just wanted to tell her how I felt. Every time I get close to doing so, something tragic happens and I can't.

Sitting close to her and holding her, I remember the first time I knew I liked her.

We were in our second year. We were sitting in the great hall, eating dinner.

Delilah, like always, was stuffing her face full. I remember looking at her and I felt something. I was only twelve, and I wanted her.

I could see us having a future. We would get married, have kids. The whole shebang! I really wanted to marry this woman that was stuffing her face and getting crumbs everywhere.

I know it sounds totally romantic. But I didn't care, I just wanted her. It's all a twelve year old asks for!

But as the years went by, my feelings became stronger and I knew it wasn't just a crush on my best friend. I was in love.

Smiling at the thought, I didn't notice Delilah look at me. She was observing me.

"Fred, why are you smiling?"

"I just remembered something..."

"What was it about?"

After those words, I knew I was in trouble. I couldn't tell her how I felt when she was grieving for her mother! It just wasn't the right time...

"Well it was in our second year. The time we pranked Filch and ended up breaking his arm..."

"I remember that! It was hilarious..."

And just like that, she was ok again. It was almost ruined though when a certain Slytherin walked by. To distract Delilah, I did the only thing I could think of.

I kissed her.

----------------------//----------------------
Delilah's POV
I couldn't believe what was happening! Fred is kissing me. Realizing I wasn't doing anything and I was in shock, I finally came out of shock and I kissed back.

It was amazing and everything I dreamed about. I forgot everything that was going on, and I also forgot about the vile Slytherin that was standing outside.

There were fireworks going off, and I knew that everything was going to be ok.

Finally coming out of the kiss for air, I looked up at the brown eyes of Fred. He looked nervous.

Finally he spoke.

"Delilah, I wanted to tell you for some time that I am hopelessly in love with you. I just never got the chance... I know the timing isn't right, but I just couldn't hold back any longer."

With a giant smile, I kissed him again. It was just a small peck, but that even had some sparks in it.

"Well Fred, I've liked you for quite some time as well. I didn't know how to tell you either that I loved you. Nobody knew how I felt except for Sirius, Lily, and George."

"Wait George knew!"

"Yeah he kinda cornered me one day and took an accurate guess."

With a small chuckle, Fred leaned in again. And just like that I couldn't be more happier.

We kissed again but something was bothering me. Even though we both liked, well loved each other, we weren't official yet.

Pulling away from Fred, I took the courage and asked him.

"Fred, I was wondering, are we like officially a couple now?"

"Well yeah I guess if that's what you want..."

"Yeah..."

"Ok then let me do this properly. Will you Miss Thornberry, be my beautiful girlfriend?"

"Why of course I will Mr. Weasley!"

With another laugh, we sat in the compartment, cuddled together, and stole kisses every once and awhile, until we of course, arrived at Hogwarts.

I was the happiest girl alive.
