Hermione Granger was sat in Gryffindor common room crying her eyes out because of none other than Ron Weasley. She was crying so much that she didn't notice a red head come down the steps of the seventh year boy's dormitories.

"Hermione? What's wrong?" Fred asked

"What? Oh nothing, I'm fine." She tried to say in her most convincing voice and adding a small smile for effect, but Fred knew that there was something wrong and he wasn't going to give up until he found out what is was.

"Hermione, nobody cries for no reason. Now tell me what the matter." Fred said firmly, but it was comforting.

"Fine, I guess you do have a point. It is your brother, your totally oblivious, horrible, pig headed brother." Hermione said whilst trying to hold back as many tears as possible.

"What has he done now?" Fred asked feeling rage towards Ron inside of him.

"He called me a know-it-all, he has just figured out that I'm a girl and he said that he only lets me hang out with him is because I can help Him and Harry with their homework." Hermione said in a shaky voice.

"I'm really sorry about him, he shouldn't have said that and that bit that confuses me is the bit where he didn't know that you were a girl, I mean has he looked at you, you are beautiful." Fred said blushing at the last part.

"You think I'm beautiful?" Hermione asked slightly shocked.

"Well yeah, look at you, your skin glows when you laugh, the way you hair flows, your eyes are like deep pools of chocolate and you are just all round beautiful." Fred said going the same colour as his hair.

"Oh Fred that it the kindest thing anyone has ever said to me." Hermione said with new tears running down her face.

Hermione moved up a little on the sofa she was sitting on to give Fred somewhere to sit.

The two friends talked for a few more hours until Fred felt Hermione's head fall gently onto his shoulder. She looked so peaceful that he didn't want to wake her, instead her let sleep take over him and the two of them slept peacefully in Gryffindor common room with the fire heating the room.
