In Love With Trouble
Hermione Granger sat outside behind the Burrow. ans she was still in"Harry's" clothes. She was tending to Polyjuice Potion for Harry during Bill's wedding. As she did, she began thinking about the Dark Lord, school, and Horcrux searching... Not to mention the boy who held her heart. She had never tried concentrating on so many things at once. Even as a third year, when she had a Time Turner.
"Thinking?" She turned to see Fred standing behind her.
"How did you guess?"
"Your expression. You bite your lip when your thinking."
"I do?" Fred nodded, "I never knew that... Wait why do you know?" Fred's ears and cheeks turned red.
"Um... I... I just notice these things."
"Really? It sounds more like you have a crush on me."
"What gives you that idea?"
"I know everything."
"That you do." Fred then leaned forward and kissed her.
"Wow... You do have a crush on me?"
"Ever since my seventh year."
"What about Angelina?"
"She and I are just friends. You and Krum?"
"The same."
"Then." Fred kissed her again. "Do you want to date a troublemaker?"
"Only because I've practically been in love with said troublemaker since I first met him."
"What?... You've been in love with me since you met me?"
"Practically!"
"Doesn't matter. Practically is close enough." Hermione rolled her eyes as he embraced her.
"No one's going to believe this."
"That Hermione Granger fell in love with an incredibly handsome guy?"
"More like that a Prefect is dating one of the Weasley twins." Fred gave her his mischievous smile.
"That's true. But I'm still incredibly handsome." Hermione laughed.
"I guess that's true as well." She placed her head on his shoulder and they both looked up into the sky.
"The stars are almost as bright as your eyes."
"Fred..."
"Don't deny it! It's true! Almost as true as the fact that I-"
"Are 'in love' with a Prefect?" Fred nodded and his ears turned redder.
"You need to stop-"
"Finishing your sentences or knowing everything?"
"Both."
"I can't help it! I am very good-" Fred silenced her with a quick kiss.
"At not shutting up. But that's why I fell for you."
Hermione smiled and took Fred's hand. "I wish I could stay in this moment forever."
"So do I. I mean stirring Polyjuice Potion is defiantly what I'd want to do forever."
"Not that. Being with you."
"I know." He winked, then stood up. "Let's move away from the door. I think the Potion is fine." He offered his hand. Hermione took and stood with him.
Fred escorted her to a large tree a little ways away. Then he gave a quick flick of his wand.
"What's this?"
"A tree house Geoge and I found. We used it to get away." They climbed up and sat under the branches.
"This is much better." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
