True love never dies

Oh well what is going on here then?

Hermione was shocked by Fred’s uncharacteristic behavior. She had no idea that he thought of her that way; she had no idea that anyone thought of her that way. Her and Fred were completely different in every way. They couldn’t work. Could they?

Hermione sat in the kitchen pondering this for a while, not noticing that she was being talked to.

“Hermione? Are you ok?” Sirius asked her when she didn’t reply to his question.

“What? Oh I’m fine.” She said, moving her thoughts away from Fred.

“Probably just thinking about Harry’s arrival later right?” Asked Remus who was smiling at her.

“Yeah.” Hermione said, this seemed to satisfy Sirius.

Fred didn’t come down stairs for the rest of the day. Sometimes George would turn up but never Fred.

One time when Hermione saw that George was downstairs talking to his mother she went up to Fred’s room, she needed to talk to him.

She knocked gently on the wooden door.

“George?” Fred asked from inside the room, he sounded miserable.

“No it’s me.” Hermione whispered. She heard a large bang from inside the room, making her jump slightly.

“Um, come in.” Fred said hastily.

Hermione pushed open the door to find Fred sitting on the bottom bunk of his and George’s bunk beds.

“Look Hermione I’m really sorry. I should never have kissed you. Please can we just forget this ever happened?” Fred asked her. Sometimes Hermione forgot how nice and kind Fred was; all she usually saw was the jokester. But the smile Fred was giving her now was so simple and sad; it broke her heart to see him this way.

She realized that she really did care about Fred. He wasn’t just Ron’s brother; he was so much more than that. He was a wonderful, brave man who liked her for who she was.

“I don’t want to forget this ever happened Fred.” Hermione said, looking deep into his chocolate brown eyes. She saw deep confusion there.

Hermione slowly leaned forward and pressed her lips against Fred’s. It was his turn to be shocked this time, but after a moment he snapped out of it and wrapped his arms around her.

“Oh well what is going on her then?”
