Okay hey so this is how I'm gonna try to work,it's told in Fred's point of view although I might add is Hermione's once in awhile. So ya, if you have any idea just tell me and I'll try to fit them in as long as they go with the story. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: As much as a hate to write to this…..I don't own Harry Potter! OH how sad I'm gonna cry!

I remember how me and Hermione first started out. I first started
to realize her, as more then icky ronnikens best friend, at the night
of the Yule ball. We were all waiting for our dates in the common room...
Soon it was only me waiting for Alicia Spinnet. One of the hottest girls of my year and I'm embarrassed to admit but at the time, being a teenage boy, I only had one thing on my mind for that night.
When I heard a girl walking down the steps I thought it was my date
so I walked up. To my surprise it was Hermione granger. She wore a
cuffed sleeved light blue dress with a trace of sparkles in her hair. Wait, I though, did her hair looks very different, except for the fact that it had sparkles (I'm not that oblivious). It took me a little while to figure it out but she had sleeked it down and magiced her teeth to be straight. She was beautiful.

I realized I must have been staring because Hermione had stopped walking down the steps. In order to make myself not look stupid I said

"Hermione you're late. I'm in shock".

'oh great that helped', I thought. 'Why am I so stupid'
"Haven't you heard of being fashionably late, Fred." she said as she
walked by. "Now if you don't mind I have to go meet my date" she
said in a-mater-of-factly way.
"Ya by the way who is he" she had been keeping it from us for so long, as if not to jinx it.
"You'll just have to find out" she said with a smile and walked out.

At the ball me and Alicia just sat at our table. I'm not the most graceful dancer but Alicia didn't seem to understand and she dragged me to the floor. I think she started to understand once I started stepping on her toes. I was just about to apologize for the 6th time when I saw her face. I could tell I was getting nowhere tonight so I wasn't in the greatest mood. A scream suddenly cut off my thinking.
"A WHAT?" a girl screamed
"Listen, Herm-on-ninny that's vat it started out as but-"
"NO, I don't care how it started out" the girl's voice started o crackle as she tried to continue." I don't care! But that's how it did!" and the girl ran out.
The mumbling starting up again and I went to get some drinks for us.
When I got back to the table Alicia was gone. To tell you the truth it didn't come to a complete surprise to me.
I decided to go out for a walk to get some fresh air. I was walking
along the bang of the lake when I saw a girl walking back and forth with her sandals being held by the strap in her hand. It took me a little while but then I then realized that the moon made her hair glitter...
"Hermione?" I whispered to the girl hoping it was her and that I didn't just make a fool of myself.
She looked at me with a face that looked like she had just been crushed. "It was a dare" she said as if still in shock "Victor only asked me out on a dare"
"Mione listen, don't worry about him, he's just a git." I mean what could say she was just turned down at the Yule ball and to make it worse it was by Victor Krum, the all famous Quidittch player! The only other line that came to my head was " If you ever need to talk you can always talk to little 'ol Fred" I said with my famous lopsided smile.

It seemed to work though. It made her smile. It was one of those 'I was just crying' smile, but it was beautiful all the same. "Thanks but I'm going to stay out here for a little bit'' she said trying to keep her voice steady.
I nodded and turned around getting ready to walk away. "Fred?" she asked.
I turned around and waited for her to finish. "Save me a dance?" she asked uncertainly.

"Sure" and said with a smile. She looked at me and then continued
to walk along the bank.
Thank goodness that it was dark out or else she would have seen my ears started to blush.

As I walked back into the great hall I saw Alicia dancing with Cedric Diggory. Now every girl has a crush on him so it's only natural that I hate his guts.
So I joined my little brother Ron by the fire, his date has also 'mysteriously' disappeared. After a while of talking about quidditch, I gathered up my courage and asked Cho Chang for a dance. She was a Ravenclaw in my year and had this exotic look in her eyes.
As the school started to mix and mingle, soon people were dancing with the kids from other schools. When I danced with at least five girls the one really wanted to dance with came up to me at the drink table.

" So did you save me a dance?" Hermione asked in a shy voice. I could tell she was feeling weird but hey, I thought, I mean why not I am THE FRED WEASLEY (wow my ego was really big back then).

"Why of course Miss Granger" I said trying to put charming my voice. It didn't work, I just sounded dumb. I felt my ears start to become red while I tried to cover it with my hair. Hermione didn't seem to notice but now that I look back on it I think she just wanted to make me feel good and not hurt my ego.
I took her by the hand and brought her into the middle of the dance floor. It felt like in those muggle movies when you bring a lady out to the dance floor and everybody makes way for you to walk through. It felt great! I could see that Hermione felt a little uncomfortable dancing with me as I am Ron's older brother but half way through the slow song we were dancing to she loosened up a bit. As the song started to end the Weird sisters made an announcement, "Thanks folks but we only have time for one last song so grab somebody special to dance with!" Hermione started to move away but I reach out for her arm. She turned around with a smile "why two in one night, I must be lucky tonight", she said.
By now I was able to see Ron leaning up on the wall looking at me. Just then Malfoy came up next to him. I could hear what they were saying and couldn't believe my ears.
"What's the matter didn't get a chance to dance with the muddleblood Weasel?" Draco asked in a smug voice.
" Don't call her that" Ron spat through his teeth.
" Fine have it your way. At least I know how to get what I want"
Now that was going too far. Almost everybody knew how Ron felt about Hermione but nobody was stupid enough to say it.

"I would shut up if I were you" said Ron taking his wand out of his pocket. Draco had started to reach for his wand then Ron Said "I wouldn't take that put if I were you". Draco pulled his hand of his pocket not to reveal his wand. He showed his palm and then made it into a fist and threw the first punch.

Ron's wand fell out of his hands but didn't seem to notice. He just used his fist. Now it was Hermione' turn to see the action.
As she turned around to see what was happening, she let go and started to make her way through the circle that had form around Draco and Ron. When we got there we saw Harry holding Draco back and a couple of other 4th years holding his two body guards in a full body bind. Draco broke free of Harry's grasp and said "Well Weasel look, the mudblood came to watch". Ron threw a punch at him and hit his left eye, while Draco threw one back. To my shock Hermione ran in front and took the blow. I didn't realize why she did that until I looked at Ron. I always remembered how he got beat easily and never backed away from a fight but this was ridicules. He had a black eye and looked like he was about to faint.
Hermione just stood there with an odd smile on her face "You stupid git" he said calmly then threw a punch back at him.
I didn't know what to do I just stood there (again). I didn't know if Malfoy would hit back. He had this death glare in his eyes. He looked at Hermione for what seemed like an hour then stalked out the great hall.
Seamus and Harry help Ron up to the dorm and Hermione waited for the circle to go back to the dance floor to finish up there dance. When everybody left, she walked into the entrance way.

I ran to the pumpkin juice table got and a napkin and filled it with ice, then ran out after her.

When I caught up with Hermione she was half way to the common room. She was shaking her fists muttering. I walked up behind her "Hermione?" I said, holding the ice "It'll help" I said trying to sound like I know what I'm doing.
She took it and put it on her knuckles. "I haven't done that in years" she said. I couldn't hold back my next comment " When the hell did you do that before!" she looked at me sternly "I was in sleep away camp" she shrugged "It was self defense!" she said defending herself. I just laughed it off.
We walked back to the common room laughing at how she punched Malfoy. As we got to the picture of the fat lady she took the ice off her hand and put it on her eye. The fat Lady gave her a look and said at least she looked better then Ron. Hermione smiled and walked into the common room. When we came in we saw Ron with his back on the couch with the ice on his eye. She went over to keep him company. At first they sat in silence for a little while before Ron asked a question. It was so quite that Hermione had to ask him to repeat it.
"WHY DID YOU COME IN THE MIDDLE OF IT! I WAS HANDLING IT!"
Hermione looked in shock "HA! You call that handling it! I had the right to get on the middle you were arguing over me!" People starting turning around so Ron kept his voice low "He was insulting you, moine, I had to." he said in a pleading voice.
"Don't call me MIONE! And you don't have to protect me Ron. I can stand up for my self or do I have to punch somebody for you to notice! You know there no point in arguing with you!" she said as her temper started to rise.I went after her and called her name. "What Ron!" she said turning around. "oh sorry Fred" she said with wincing her eye." listen I'll see you tomorrow, thanks for the ice. Good night"
I stood there as I watched her go up the steps. "If only you knew" I whispered and went to my room.
