Fremione-You Said You Would Never Leave Me

Chapter One: You Said You Would Never Leave Me

*Hermione's POV*

Ron, Harry and I were making our way through the castle. Ron had kissed me and I kissed him back. I felt awful, I shouldn't have done it. No one knows this except for my dream man but, my dream man is not Ron Weasley, it's a different Weasley. Fred Weasley.

I couldn't tell Ron, I knew he liked me a lot, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Fred loved me back and we were in a secret relationship. He had even proposed, just before we went hunting for horcruxes and of course, I happily said yes.

We were walking down the steps when we saw commotion in the great hall. A group of people were huddled around a body. A body that lie on the floor. I stopped dead. The people around were all red heads. Weasley's. No, no it couldn't be. I ran forward and Ron and Harry saw what I was looking at, they were hot on my heels. I looked at the red heads face's, trying to deduct one by one who was on the ground. There was Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Ginny, and oh no. Either Fred or George. Please, please let it be Fred! The twin turned around and my heart stopped along with my breathing.

Ron stopped right behind me. He grabbed my hand but I pulled it out of his grasp and ran towards the huddle screaming. "No! No you said, you said you loved me!" All eyes were on me but I didn't care. I had a huge lump in my throat, my head hurt and everything was spinning. I looked down at his cold, lifeless body. All the laughter and liveliness was drained from it. He just lay there motionless. George seemed like he had frozen. I felt where he was coming from.

I dropped down to my knees, tears dripping from my pale face. I clutched his shirt, shaking him. "Fred! Wake up Fred! Stop playing around, this isn't a funny joke!" I cried, everyone looked at me as though I was barking mad but, I didn't care. "Please, please stop with the joke, it was funny, haha but it's gone too long!" I knew that he wasn't joking but I couldn't help but hope. Hope this was just a practical joke that I would laugh back at one day. That we would laugh back at one day.

When he didn't answer me I began to yell at the top of my lungs so loud that Hogsmeade could've heard me. "Fred! Bloody wake up! This is not funny! Stop this joke now, and I'll stay with you!!" George dropped to my side crying just like I was. "George, George, please tell him to stop! Tell him this isn't funny!" I yelled at George, he looked up at me with a funny expression.

"He's gone Hermione..." He said, tears filling back up in his blue eyes that matched his brothers now dead eyes.

"Fine! You're in on the joke too! Haha, how funny, let's worry Hermione sick." I said sarcastically and slapped George across the face shocking him, myself and everyone watching. "I'm so, so sorry George." I breathed out and hugged him. He kindly hugged me back, embracing me in his warmth. I felt as though he understood my pain. I turned to Fred with my last hope draining from my tense body. "Fred, if you stop this prank right now. I'll forgive you and we can live happily ever after!" He didn't answer me, instead the freckles in his face were disappearing as his face became more pale. Blue started to form around his perfect lips. "Do you hear me Freddie? We can be together! The wars almost over... You can call me 'Mione' like you always do." Everyone looked at me with shock and pity. No one knew about me and Fred being together except George. "Do you hear me Fred!?" I continued, bawling my eyes out over him. "We can go back to normal!! Please! I love you! We were gonna get married, you-you said that we would always be together, that we would make it out alive. You said you would never leave me!" I was screaming now along with hiccuping. Tears fell from my face to Fred's shirt, staining it with wetness. Then I remembered the rain...

*FLASHBACK*

I could remember the first time we had ever met. It was a rainy day. I was sorted into Hogwarts by the hat and I was so pleased. I noticed the twins with Lee but didn't pay much attention to them. They seemed like pranksters. After a while I realised how they could never fail to cheer someone who was deeply down up.

I liked them. Not them, him. Fred. Some ask me how I can tell the difference between the two twins, I just can. I could tell just by little things, the walks; George had more of a strut where as Fred had more of a sophisticated walk. Fred's eyes were a shade lighter blue then George's, a shade prettier to me. George's smile was even where Fred had a 'to one side smile' that I loved.

I had told Parvati that I liked him and on a game of truth or dare she had dared me to talk to him. I hesitated but knew that it would be a good opportunity, if he didn't want to talk to me I would just tell him it was a dare.

First, I made sure my hair looked fine. Well, it didn't, it was still an afro but I couldn't change that. My teeth, they were too big. I ditched the idea looking in the mirror as it caused me to lose confidence.

I walked over to where Fred, George and Lee were. Fred and Lee playing exploding snaps while George watched. As I was walkin I stopped. What would I say? How would I pull this off? Then I had an idea.

I walked over to the trio and sat down for a moment and watched there game. They looked back at me rather surprised but I acted as though I didn't notice. Once Fred had lost to Lee, George swapped places with him and began to play the game with Lee. Now was my chance. I though to myself.
I tapped him on the shoulder.

"Um Fred, is it?" I asked him and he looked at me smiling and nodded. "Well I'm Hermione Granger." I said and put my hand out for him to shake. He looked surprised but still took my hand and shook it. His hands were surprisingly soft. "I was actually wondering if you could help me with my homework..." I said in a small voice. "Well I heard that you aced your transfiguration test in your first year so I was wondering if you could help me." When he said nothing I felt my confidence drain right out of me. He began to laugh and I turned crimson.
"What's so funny?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.

"Well, it's just that..." He stood up and grabbed my hand and pulled me to a quiet spot in the noisy common room.
"Okay, I actually used self correcting ink on that test." He said with a smirk and I rolled my eyes. "Plus, I hear you are kind of a know it all, Ron talks-" but I ran away, I didn't care what Ron talks about. The guy that I like just called me a know-it-all. Is that all anyone thinks about me? I remember I had cried myself to sleep that night.

*NOW*

"You said you would never leave me!" I yelled, slurring my words as my own tears slipped into my mouth. George came down and hugged me. He whispered in my ear.
