---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fred Weasley stired, a shiver went down his spine and he yawned, his heart started to race as he
realized the feeling of a warm body clinging to him, helpless and very close to his skin in an
intimate embrace.
Fred wrapped his arms tight around her, a gentle smile twitched about his face, it felt good
holding someone like this, even though he couldn't remember who it was. He waited to open his
eyes for the moment, just in case it was someone he didn't know or didn't like. He sighed,
curiosity was getting the best of him, his blue eyes slid open to find someone he didn't expect
about him, twisted naked and very innocent in appearance, his heart sank.
It was someone he knew, someone he knew very well, too well for his sake. Fred had loved this
girl in the secret of his heart for several years, now she was here in his arms asleep and lovely as
ever, the closeness was becoming quite too much for him and resisting doing anything was
harder.
Slowly he moved now, so as not to disturb her sleeping form, his eyes crinkled as he smiled at
her, she was utterly beautiful with her hair tousled about and a thin sheet about her, covering
her nakedness.
Fred sat down in a chair, staring at her wrapped in the white gossamer sheets, his heart felt
bitterly now. When she awoke she would be very angry at him, probably even berate him quite
furiously. A tiny tear rolled down his freckled face, he had been surprised to wake up to her, he
would've almost been happy if not for the streak of disappointment he felt creeping in.
Last night was a painful blur of depressant alcoholics and furious sex. He let his mind slip further
back into the night, slowly he remembered all that had taken place.
He had ran into her on the street, she was happy as ever and in a relationship with no one, save
maybe Ron, but only in Ron's mind really. He had invited her back to his flat to have a drink and
reminisce about school, life, and all things going and coming. She was a Hogwarts professor now,
teaching Defense Against Dark Arts for two years now, a record for that position without harm
being inflicted to the teacher.
Their subject changed to Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes and the success being found in it, the war
came about and the mood was sullen, they both drank more and with each drink they loosened
their inhibitions. Both opened their hearts and much more, then it happened like a furious snap,
and well, now they were here together tangled in the sweaty sheets.
It blew Fred's mind now as it flooded into his head, he knew he would probably never have her
as his own, and that this was a one time thing, but he wished it wouldn't be that trivial… feel that
trivial. He paused his thoughts to listened to her steady and easy breaths.
Fred's thoughts now snapped back to the sound of her stirring now, she rubbed her eyes and tried
to decipher her surroundings, then their eyes met. She said,
"Fred?"
"Hermione?" He replied,
"Oh Fred! I'm So sorry…" She trailed off, apologizing weakly and quietly,
Fred turned his eyes,
"I know," a second tear rolled down his cheek.
Fin.
