This is how I picture Graduation to go. Also nobody died in this, George never lost his ear either.
P.S, I'm not British, so I apologies for any American English instead of British English.
Disclaimer: If I own Harry Potter, everyone that died would still be alive (Only if they were good, of course.)

Fred never thought he would ever graduate Hogwarts, with all the pranks he and his twin played, it would be no surprise if one of the Professors convinced Dumbledore to hold the tricksters back a year or two. Yet here they were, standing with all the other seventh years.
Dumbledore gave his speech about graduating, Fred didn't listen and judging by George's glazed expression, he didn't either. The reason Fred wasn't listening was because he was too busy staring at the girl sitting beside his littlest brother Ron.
The only person that knew about Fred's obsession with Hermione was George, and that was only because he in turn knew about George's obsession with Angelina.
The only words the twins caught from the whole speech was "Let the party begin!". George raced to flirt with Angelina, leaving Fred standing there, completely clueless of what to do.
He finally decided to go get a snack after standing there like an idiot for a few moments staring at his brother twirling Angelina around and around in endless circles. Fred felt sorry for Angelina, no doubt she'll have a headache after one dance with George.
Fred grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice from the table and proceeded to walk around the room, occasionally giving out some witty comments to everyone he was familiar too, mostly fellow Gryffindors.
Fred caught sight of Hermione, who was talking casually to a Ravenclaw in the same year as her. The Ravenclaw it looked like, was trying to flirt with Hermione, to no avail.
Fred's eyes suddenly gleamed wickedly and he strolled over to the pair, when he came close enough, Fred faked losing his balance and flung his hands up in the air wildly. The goblet he was holding, still filled to the brim with pumpkin juice went flying into the air, splattering all of its contents on the expensive dress robes the Ravenclaw trying to chat Hermione up was wearing.
"Oi! Weasley!" the Ravenclaw yelled staring down at his dress robes, which were once in pristine condition.
Fred cackled as the Ravenclaw stomped away glaring daggers at him. He turned to see Hermione trying to suppress a smile.
"Ah, dear princess, join me on my horse and we shall gallop away into the sunset!" Fred called out dramatically gesturing frantically with his hands.
Hermione raised an eyebrow at him "Shouldn't it be 'ride into the sunset'?" She corrected. Fred grinned. "Whatever you want princess." He replied smoothly while raising his eyebrows suggestively. Hermione laughed and Fred couldn't help but notice how nice her laugh sounded. It wasn't quite the tinkling of bells, no, her laugh was more natural, it sounded like songbirds singing. Yes that sounded right, Hermione's laugh sounded like songbirds singing.
"Whatever I want? Okay, I want you to dance to this next song with me." Hermione replied her eyes twinkling with amusement. Fred's grin widened and he grasp Hermione's hand tightly in his own as he led her onto the dance floor.
The previous song had just ended and Lee Jordan, the DJ and one of Fred's best friends decided to put a more romantic one on . Fred instantly recognized it as "If I Die Young" by the band Perry.
"Oh! This is one of my favourite songs!" Hermione exclaimed happily. Fred saw Lee Jordan wink at him from over Hermione's head, Fred decided right then that he would forgive Lee for playing that prank on him last week, the one with the flying razors.
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in a river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Fred could hear Hermione hum contently on his shoulder as they swayed gently to the music. Of course George had to ruin the moment by twirling right into them, dragging along a very dizzy looking but still very lovely looking Angelina.
A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
"The music really doesn't go with the happy theme." George commented idly as he helped his dance partner and potential girlfriend up. Fred held out his hand for Hermione, he was delighted when Hermione took it, he was even more delighted when she still gripped his hand firmly after she got up instead of letting go.
After that collision, Fred and Hermione had a relatively quiet and romantic evening, save for the time he and George hexed that cocky Slytherin boy. It wasn't Fred's fault really, the Slytherin had insulted Quidditch and everyone knows not to insult Quidditch while Fred and George Weasley were around.
The next morning Fred once again stood lined up with his twin and all the other seventh years. Everyone had woken up quite early that morning, well the girls woke up early to beautify themselves, the boys slept in until five minutes before the ceremony. Maybe that's why George's robes were inside out and Fred looked like he had dressed while he was still half asleep, which he did.
They were instructed by Professor Mcgonagall to row back to the other side of the lake with the boats they had used to first arrive in. Fred was on the same boat as George, Lee Jordan and another Gryffindor that he couldn't quite remember the name of. When they were halfway across, George got the brilliant idea to tip the boat over, sending all of them into the murky waters below. They all got out of the water safely of course, but George got quite a long rant from Mcgonagall about behaving while still on Hogwart grounds.
Only when they were finally on the other side of the lake did Fred remember something. "George?" He asked tentatively "What?" Fred gulped. "We forgot to play our Graduation prank."
