(This is taking place in seventh year so you people don't get lost)

He was glancing out into the street of Hogsmeade. The children were swarming around and the store was extremely busy. Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it was his home away from home for seven years. Only there was one girl that he felt comfortable with, besides his sister Ginny. She was everything he wasn't, smart, studious, wonderful, he wished he could just touch her face without Ron going off the handle or most of the time, off his broom. George noticed his brother staring out into the street and tapped him on the shoulder, scaring the crap out of him. Fred turned around quickly and almost smacked George across the face. George jumped back slightly to miss the swing of his brother's hand but he hit a display of Elongated Ears.

"What the bloody hell are you doing sneaking up on me like that?" Fred yelled at his counter part.

"You were in dream land and that was the kindest way of bringing you back," George stated simply as he picked up the fallen items and placed them back onto the shelf. Fred stood up quickly and walked to the back room. He looked around and found his new prototype, a love potion. Who should I test this on? Fred smirked and one thought came to mind.

"Hermione come on we need to go and visit Fred and George at the shop." Harry yelled as Hermione walked down the stairs from the girls' dormitory.

"Harry you don't need to yell, I'm not deaf but I will be if you keep yelling like that."

Ron looked at his girlfriend of three years and smiled, today is the day! She was wearing a tight pink sweater in a low cut v-neck style and dark blue jeans with an embroidered dragon going up her leg in pink thread; her black overcoat that looked like a long suit jacket was placed over her outfit to give the sweater some contrast.

She smiled at Ron. She loved his red hair, it was such a wonderful trait, and it set him apart from everyone else. That and that he was the thickest boy she had ever met…ever. Grabbing his arm, she walked out into the cold with Harry on the otherside of her.

As they reached the shop, they saw a familiar glint of red hair.

"Ginny." Hermione screamed. Letting go of Ron's arm, she ran to her best friend. They embraced until Ron and Harry caught up with them.

"Ginny you know that she's my girlfriend." Ron stated matter-of-factly.

"Ron, I'm not a lezzie and you know that." Ginny scolded playfully.

"Harry, why are we standing out in the cold?" Hermione asked shivering slightly. She started to walk towards the shop when a pair of arms snaked around her.

"I'll keep you warm." Ron smiled into her neck.

"Um, Ron, I'm going to go inside now." She pulled away from him and walked into the store. I really do like Ron but I really don't like him that way. Oh my god I'm in way over my head. Why did I ever go out with him. Well three years ago I did like that.

Harry caught up to her and pulled her aside.

"Mione what's going on with Ron?"

"Nothing, we're just perfect." Yeah perfect like a tank of gas next to an open flame.

Harry didn't believe her for an instant.

"No, really what's going on?"

"I don't think I like Ron anymore. It's like dating my brother. You know, awkward."

Harry nodded.

"You have to tell him."

"I can't! I don't want to hurt him."

"You're only hurting him more if you don't tell him."

"You're right Harry but I've never broken up with someone before."

"Just tell him that you see him more as a brother than as a boyfriend. Don't worry. I'll be right there if you need me." Harry smiled.

Hermione gave Harry a hug. Then Ron walked over.

"What the bloody hell are you doing with MY girlfriend?"

"Hermione would like to tell you something. Don't you?"

She gave a weak nod and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry Ron but I see you more as a brother than as a boyfriend. I'm so sorry." Ron looked at Harry and then at Hermione.

"How long,"

"What?"

"How long have you two been dating behind my back?"

"Huh? Harry and I never ever dated. I only see you both as my brothers that's all."

A Weasley twin was watching the whole scene unfold; on the inside he couldn't be happier.

But then he felt a twang of guilt, his little brother got dumped and he was happy about it. What kind of man was he? A man inlove.

Ron looked around and then back at Hermione.

"I was going to ask you to marry me." He whispered and pulled out the ring in his pocket. Hermione gasped and fell backwards. Seeing her start to fall, Fred launched himself and caught her before she reached the floor. Her whole world collapsed around her and then a strong grip caught her. As she looked up she stared into crystal blue eyes.

"Fred," She whispered.

"That's me." Fred smirked at the girl in his arms. A deep crimson blush crept onto her cheeks, straightening herself up she moved her hands to Fred's and pulled on them gently to let her go. Reluctantly, he did so. Turning around to leave she gave Fred, Harry and Ron a kiss.

"I'm sorry Ron," She whispered and left the shop for Hogwarts. Ginny ran after her.

"What did my brother do?"

"Nothing, I just couldn't be with him. I can't believe that he was going to ask me to marry him."

"Yeah I know. But why?"

"All right, it's like kissing your brother. I love him but just as a brother don't you understand Ginny?"

"Yeah I know." They both walked back to Hogwarts in silence.

"Ron what the heck was that?" George asked.

"I have no idea. I thought she loved me." Ron tried to be strong but inside he was breaking down.

"Hey mate, it's not that bad, it could have been worse, she could have cheated on you." Fred said trying to be sincere.

"Yeah, I guess. But it just hurts."

"Let's go to the Three Broomsticks and grab a few butterbeers."

They all agreed and walked into the pub to forget their troubles. Lavender Brown was sitting at the bar and staring at Ron. She walked over and whispered something into his ear. Ron nodded leaned over to Harry.

"Hey, I'm going back to Hogwarts with Lavender, bye mate."

With that he left with Lavender on his arm. Fred knew that nothing good would come of this.

Hey everyone. I adopted this story from Viktor Krum's lazyllama101. I didn't change anything in this chapter. But if you can think of anything that would make it better let me know.
