Hermione POV

I felt pillows hitting my body as I blinked open my eyes."Bloody hell! Ginny!"

Ginny laughed,"I was bored. Come on, breakfast is ready. Mum said she had news for us."

I smiled, getting up and walking downstairs with Ginny. She took her prompt spot next to Harry. I looked to see Ron sitting next to Harry, and Percy sitting next to him.

Man, maybe the 'Golden Trio' really was finally coming to an end.

I had no choice but to next to Percy and Fred."So, Mum, what's this news?"Ginny asked.

's face dropped a bit."Finish eating, dears. Then we'll tell you all."

A look of worry came on my face a bit."Don't worry Granger, it'll be okay."Fred smiled at me.

I smiled, a bit uncertain. A lot had happened between Fred and I lately, since I saved him.

*flashback*

"Fred!"I heard someone scream. I looked away from the Death Eaters I was dueling and ran over to him,George,and Ginny. Fred's eyes were fighting to stay open, and tears were falling freely from mine.

A few drops hit his face. I brushed the hair out of his eyes with my shaky hand. I kept one hand his cheek, stroking it softly.

Tears fell from George and Ginny's faces, and it broke my heart. Fred closed his eyes, and I felt his heart beat one last time.

We thought that was it. End. Game over. No redos. But, that wasn't the case. More tears fells from my eyes, landing on his face once more. I leaned over him, sobbing. George was solomn. His face filled with blankness, filled with emptyness. Ginny was gasping uncontrolled sobs, leaning on the ground. More of my tears hit his face, soaking into his skin.

That's when I felt it. A heart beat. Not just one, either. Two, then three, then four."You guys!"I screamed.

George and Ginny's heads shot up, looking at me"His heart! It's beating!"

George and Ginny scrambled towards me in a hurry. They felt his heart."It's true."George gasped.

Ginny was crying tears of happiness. I followed suit, stroking Fred's cheek again. The two of us had never been extremely close, but close enough for it to hurt to even think of losing him.

You're okay. I thought softly.

'Mione...I heard a distant voice.

I gasped, placing a hand over my mouth. Did I just hear what I thought I did? I brushed it off, thinking I was going crazy.

*flashback over*

Fred had not said anything about hearing thoughts, so I never brought it up. It has not happened since then, but it was still been on my mind.

I snapped back to reality, realizing breakfast was over and we were getting the news. came out of the dinning room, handing us each letters with our name on it."A new law has been passed by the Ministry."she said."Any witch or wizard older than seventeen is to get married by the end of summer, to the person in your letter. The two must have a child within two years after marriage."

My eyes widened, as did everyone elses. I looked at my letter, scared as to what it might contain."How is that fair to any of us? We might have to suffer un-happiness, because of a stupid law?"I said,getting angry.

nodded sadly. She clapped her hands together, sighing."Okay. Who wants to open their letter first?"she asked. No one spoke a word. They looked at each other, scared.

"I will."Harry said bravely. He opened his letter, reading it, eyes widening with happiness."You are to be married to Ginevra Weasley by July 30th!"

Ginny started crying tears of happiness. They were planning on getting married sometime this year, anyway."Congratulations."I smiled happily.

Percy,Charlie,and George open their letters next. Percy was marrying Penelope Clearwater,Charlie was marrying Jessica Andrews,and George was marrying Angelina Johnson.

Ron looked around."I guess I'll go next."he sighed. He opened his letter, reading it, eyes widening."You are to be married to Luna Lovegood by July 30th."

I smiled. I liked Luna. They would be good for each other. Ron and I had gone over the kiss, and we both came to the realization we did not have feelings for each other, and would be better off as friends.

I took a deep breath."I'll go next."I smiled at Fred. I read my letter.

Dear Hermione Granger,

A new law has been officialy passed by the Ministry of Magic. You are to be married and have a child within two years after marriage.

We wish you all the best.

You are to be married to Frederick Weasley by July 30th.

My eyes widened."Who'd you get, 'Mione?"Harry asked.

"Just, ask Fred to open his letter."I mumbled."I need to lie down. I have a headache."

Everyone nodded, as Fred opened his letter."Bloody hell!"he screamed.

I shut my eyes tight, rubbing my temples. Fred was my fiance, and we had to be married within two months, then have a child. That means...oh my god.

"I'm getting married to Hermione."Fred said finally, after everyone's pleas to know who it was calmed down.

Everyone's eyes widened. They all looked over at me, and I stood up, walking over to them. Fred was looking at me straight in the eyes, and I sat next to him."May I talk to my...fiance alone, please?"I asked quietly.

They all nodded, leaving the room.

This just left me and Fred.

Okay, a few things to clarify.

*Hermione's tears and touch saved Fred.

*Fred doesn't remember hearing Hermione's thought.

Fun facts: I listened to Hallelujah (Rufus Wainwright version) the whole time I writed this.

I've been writing for an hour. (and loving it)

Okay, well that's all for now. Hope you liked it better. (: I sure know I do.

Anyway, goodbye for now!
