Delaney McKinnon, the daughter of the late Marlene McKinnon was raised by wolves. Well, really a rather gentle werewolf who also happened to be her godfather. However, that aspect of her life seems to be the tamest. Being friends with Harry Potter means being pulled into the middle of all the madness that seems attracted to the boy who lived. But being friends with Harry does not mean Delaney finds herself overshadowed. Though it was never in her plans, Delaney finds herself the center of one of the Weasley twin's attention. After one too many pranks together who could blame him? The pair find themselves wondering if the prospect of returned heated affection outweighs the ghastly aftershocks that would hit all those they hold most dear if those affections went south. Does love truly outweigh the promise of comfort? Is there a such thing as a perfect match? And most importantly can Delaney keep herself immune to the Weasley Charm? *Please be advised this story does contain adult content This story begins after Sirius Black's escape and will continue through the war.

"Rule number two - no kissing," Sage said. Fred opened his mouth with an incredulous look to retort but she continued before he could speak. "Or at least not without a purpose." Fred processed the information for a moment but then grinned his typical, Cheshire-cat grin. A mischievous look took over his eyes and he scooted even closer to her on the bed until their bodies were pressed together. "A purpose, hmm?" he asked directly into her ear with a low voice, sending shivers up and down her spine. "So if I kiss you it means it's going to lead somewhere?". He then brought his lips to her neck and started to softly press kisses upwards until he neared her mouth, his hand starting to wander up her bare leg. "No, Fred," she said breathlessly and pushed her off of him once she finally regained her senses. "At least wait until we set the ground rules." ~~~~~~~~ Sage had always had a somewhat odd relationship with her best friend's older brother Fred. They were good friends, yet they hated each other at the same time. Fred was always picking on Sage; always playing pranks on her and teasing her every chance he got. She absolutely hated it. When they took their built-up tension and passion and used it for something better -- somehow striking up a 'friends with benefits' arrangement -- will it all work out? Will they be able to release their pent-up hatred (and deeply rooted attraction) for each other and maintain their friendship, or will their feelings get in the way?
