"Spontaniety"

Disclaimer: Everything you recognise is so mine... Not.

N/A: A little Fred/Hermione goodness because, honestly, I haven't been posting or updating in ages!

"Fred Weasley, don't even think about using your wand!" Hermione called out as Fred tried to reach for his wand in her book bag. She was overseeing Fred's detention as Professor McGonagall had other prior engagements at the time.

"Just for one little bit, please?" Fred had seated himself in front of Hermione. "I'm dead beat!" At the shake of her head, Fred pouted, "Could I at least have a break?"

Hermione relented with a slight nod of her head.

All was silent for a while, until Hermione asked, cocking her head to the side, "Fred, have you ever been bored of your ways of living? I mean, all the pranking and the joking…don't they get boring after a while?"

Fred shrugged in carefree. "Not really, I suppose. All the pranks and the jokes, you don't really get tired of them… Why? Are the books and all the studying getting to you?"

Hermione smiled, "Maybe a little. With the DA added in, my life is just so hectic."

"You know what you need? You need a little bit of spontaneity in your life!" Fred's bright azure eyes shimmered with joy and humour.

A wry smile crawled up her face, "I'm Harry Potter's best friend, Fred. Spontaneity doesn't really come with the package. I could be spontaneous one moment and dead the other."

Fred laughed and stood up, stretching his tall frame a little, "I suggest you be spontaneous in something that doesn't kill you."

"Like what?" Her head was still cocked to one side as she gazed up at him. Her caramel eyes looked up at him in curiosity.

She expected a myriad of different answers, ranging from pranking the students with him and George or playing truant for the day. What she didn't expect was for him to pull her up, flush against his body.

He brushed his lips slowly, softly against hers.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

Then he pulled away slightly.

"Spontaneous enough for you, Miss Granger? Or would you prefer to go out with George and I on our next prank?" he asked, his arms still tightly wrapped around her waist.

"I think I'll stick with this," she answered with a small smile.
