Chapter 1

Hermione had her arms wrapped around Fred's neck and was pulling him closer. His arms were wrapped around her body for the same reason, hands tangling in her hair. Her back was against the wall and Fred was leaning heavily against her, but all she could think was more.

They were standing in a secret passageway, but anything more specific she had yet to find out, and Fred had just told her that he loved her. The part of Hermione's brain that was still capable of thought was boggled by that fact. How could he, Fred Weasley, one half of all-time pranking heroes, one of the most wanted boys in school, ever love her, Hermione Granger, Prefect and bookworm.

At that point Fred moaned into her mouth and that part of her mind vanished like snow before the sun.

Their tongues felt like they were waging an epic battle, attacking each other furiously. One of his hands dropped to her waist and pulled it tight against his. Hermione moved her head to the side for a breath and he began kissing his way to her ear. "You are so beautiful, I can't believe I didn't do this sooner." he whispered. Hermione felt like she would melt. She pulled his head back and kissed him again.

After a few more intense moments they broke the kiss, gasping for air. Their foreheads and noses still touching. She looked into those beautiful, sapphire eyes and saw the love in them.

"Why didn't you tell me before now?" he asked, "We could've been doing this for ages."

"Well you weren't exactly declaring yourself to me either" she answered, slightly out of breath.

"True, sorry about that. Didn't mean to keep you waiting."

"So what do we do now?"

"I could go for some more of this." He answered, grinning, and kissed her again.

Several minutes later, Hermione resurfaced.

"That's not what I meant. Do we tell people? Ron's going to be furious when he finds out. He was pretty pissed over the whole Viktor thing in fourth year and that was harmless."

"Then we don't tell anyone. Ron's not smart enough to figure it out without help anyway."

"But what about George? You can't keep secrets from your twin, especially not something like this. And if I don't tell Gin she'll flip." Hermione was starting to ramble a bit.

"Ssh, it's alright. We'll figure something out. For now we won't tell anybody except those two. I don't think they'll have a problem with keeping this quiet." He assured her, "Just relax Mione, we're going to be fine." And with that he kissed her again.

They stood there enjoying each other until suddenly Fred's stomach rumbled. Blushing and looking slightly sheepish, he grinned at her, probably hoping she wouldn't be offended. Hermione just smiled and said, "That Weasley appetite rearing its head again?"

"Sorry love."

"That's okay, let's go get some dinner."

He led her out of the passage and down to the Great Hall. Once seated she linked her hand through his under the table and ate with the other.

AN: So I've finally managed to get the first chapter out! And here comes the bad part, I might not update this story for a while. Before you start throwing things, there is a reason for that. Every time I've let these guys play themselves out over the last month Fred becomes a jerk, Hermione gets clinically depressed and/or Harry cheats on Ginny with Draco or Ron. So untill that gets sorted out I'm probably going to leave the Harry Potter sphere and work on something else.

Please leave a review, and you never know, it might get me out of my funk. :)
