A/N: Hi everyone!

I have started off with the part of the book at the end of the Yule Ball and the rest of this will be kind of my take on what SHOULD have happened in the rest of the Harry Potter series. AU, obviously because Fred will survive!!! YAY!

I thought for each chapter I would name a song that relates to the chapter. This chapter/prologue's song is…Playing With Fire, by the Rolling Stones.

Enjoy!

"Playing with fire," Hermione murmured against his lips, adjusting her position on the couch, edging closer to Fred.

"Hm?" Fred asked, his hands resting on the small of her back and the back of her thin pale neck.

"Oh," Hermione felt embarrassed. Had she really said that out loud? Yep. "Nothing…just," She had two fistfuls of his red hair in her small hands. "Your hair…it's like…"

Fred smiled against her lips and Hermione was glad for someone who understood her so completely.

"Can we get back to kissing?" He mumbled, with his hands on her waist.

"Sure," Hermione sank into the blissful abyss of his kiss, the world seeming to stop as she was in Fred's arms.

This was what it felt like, she thought. When you're with The One.

Hope you like the way I started this off!
