Fremione-You Said You Would Never Leave Me

Chapter Twelve: Our Friends Are Stupid.

George's POV

"Because the Yule Ball is first and formally a dance." McGonigall announced. Most of the guys groaned while the girls looked very excited. I looked over at Angelina and winked, making her blush bright red.

"That's it!" Fred said, snapping his fingers.

"What?" I asked and looked away from Angelina.

"I'll ask Hermione to the ball and be all romantic. Because she said i need more than an apology so why not this?" He asks like he's some sort of genius.

"Well... Sure. Why not?" I say to him and he smiles.

"Then I need your help to plan."

"She likes roses... I think." Fred says as he makes a list of things 'Mione likes. "And chocolate.... probably."

"Wow Fred, your miserable." I say and he shakes his head. "Let me." I take the paper from him.

"You my friend are going to make a trail of flower petals leading from her room to some where special. When she gets there, your going to have some type of note saying to meet you at the black lake. Then, she gets down there, you will have a picnic ready for her, and in fireworks, you'll spell ''Mione will you go to the ball with me?'".

"Woah." Fred says and I smile and nod my head.

"Yup."

"Thanks bro." He says and punches me in the arm.

Hermione's POV

I'm on my bed in my dormitory and finish the last of my homework. The dormitory is empty so that's why I came up here to do my work.

I sit up and stretch my arms a little. Fred and I still aren't talking but that's fine with me.

Okay, no it's not.

I miss him.

A lot.

I hear a knock on the door that snaps me out of my thoughts. I walk over to it and open it but no one is there. I frown and look down. There's a small note and a trail of rose petals. I pick the note up and read the writing.

Follow the rose petals.

That's all it says. I look from the note to the rose pedals. How sweet. I glance into the common room, no one else is there. Could these be for me? Either way I'm going to follow them. I smile a little to myself and start down the stairs, following the trail. I see some girls in the common room looking at me with jealousy. I feel myself blush as everyone watches me walk around the common room.

Who is doing this for me?

I walk in circles, following the rose petals and people laugh at me. Who ever is doing this is definitely a prankster.

Then I gasp.

Fred?

I continue to follow the rose petals until I'm out of the common room. I look at the fat lady and she just winks at me. I smile even more and continue to follow the trail. Students walk past me and smile at me, making me blush. Harry walks past and winks at me but keeps walking.

I make it to the outside of the castle and the rose petals stop. Suddenly, a bunch of rose petals fall on my head. I look up and see no one. I look down at my feet and realize that there is another white note.

Meet me at the black lake.

I wrap my arms around myself, I should have brought a jacket or something. I'm wearing a lavender t-shirt and skinny jeans. Making my way to he black lake, I shudder.

As I get closer, I see Fred standing near the black lake, under a tree. Near his feet, there's a maroon blanket laid nicely on the grass, dimly lit candles and food are covering it.

"Fred?" I ask as I walk over to him. He smiles at me and I take in his appearance. He's wearing a tie around his neck, jeans and a blue t-shirt.

"Hey 'Mione. I take it you got the notes?" He asks and I nod and giggle a little. "Well, sit down." He says and I look at him curiously and sit down. He sits down right next to me and then lays down flat on his back.

"Lay down by me." He says and I hesitantly do so. He wraps his arm around me and I feel my heart beat faster and faster.

"Fred what-" but I'm cut off because there is a loud 'boom' noise and the sky lights up. In words it says;

"'Mione I'm sorry. Will You go to the ball with me?" I look over at him, still laying down and he smiles a bit. I nod lightly and look into his eyes. He looks in mine then looks down to my lips. We move closer and my breath quickens and my heart beats faster. We're only centimetres away- "Ahhh!" Someone yells and we jump apart.

Lee falls out of the tree above us. "Lee!" Fred yells. Then a bucket full of rose petals fall down right by him, scattering petals everywhere.

"Sorry! I was about to dump the rose petals but I lost my grip and fell." Lee says and stands up, his cheeks red from embarrassment. Fred face palms and I laugh a little even though I was kind of ready to kiss Fred.

"I'll just... leave." Lee says and walks away, a small limp in his step. I chuckle a little and look to Fred.

"What an idiot." He says then looks back to me. "Anyways..." And he looks back to my lips and I move forward to kiss him once again-

"Hermione!" Harry calls and I stop and open my eyes.

"What?" I ask.

"Someone said you were down here. I need help with- oh your busy." He smirks. "I'll see you when you get back." He says and winks.

"Our friends are stupid." I say and Fred laughs and nod. "Now..." I say and look back into his eyes and smile. I move slowly to his mouth before anyone else can ruin this. Our lips meet and I instantly feel fireworks erupt inside my whole body. I grab at his hair and tug, he moves his hands to the small of my back as the kiss deepens.

A minute later, we break apart, gasping for air. He's smirking and I'm blushing. That was my first kiss.

And it was great.
