Chapter 1- It wasn't relevant at the time

Harry walked down the stairs of Dumbledores office with Ron and Hermione by his sides. There faces wore the same confused expression, they didn't know what to feel. They were happy because Voldermort was gone but extremely sad because of the loss of so many people close the their hearts. They tried to push the thoughts of Fred lying there, his last laugh plastered across his face, out of there minds but, as they approached the entrance hall it all got to much for Hermione and a small tear tricked down her cheek. Ron turned to face her.

"Hermione," he said," what's wrong."

"You know what's wrong," she replied, "we've just lost lot's of the people who are closest to us, I know the pain will go away eventually, but right now Ron Weasly, you can't be strong." She paused for a moment," Fred we lost Fred and Colin and..."

Ron interrupted her, "hey, don't cry" he lifted her chin so she was looking straight into his eyes," I know that it's hard right now but Fred well he um he went the way he would have wanted to, heroic, he would have hated it if he would have died of old age of something. You have to focus on the positive, Voldermort's gone."

Hermione sighed ," It just seems so unfair but I'll try to be strong and fo- you said his name, you said Voldermort."

"Nothing to be scared of any more." Ron said and shrugged.

"There was never anything to be scared of, we beat him," A smile spread across Hermione's face, "we won."

"That's right, focus on the positive, that's what Fred would want us to do,"Ron replied, a smile also on his face.

"Thanks," said Hermione, hugging him.

"What are friends for?" Said Ron.

Hermione took a deep breath "Just friends?" She asked

"Not now." Replied Ron, "every thing's changed, even though I think it did a bloody long time ago."

Hermione's head edged towards Ron's and his moved closer still they inched closer and Hermione closed her eyes, they kissed, it wasn't anything special, but to them a peck on the cheek would make them blush! About a minute later they broke apart.

"Anything like kissing Lavender?" Hermione asked.

"Come on you know that I didn't like Lavender."

"Why did you date her then?"

"Cos I liked you."

Hermione frowned. "I will never, ever get you Ron Weasly."

" That's right I'm the master of mystery."

They both giggled.

" I love you."Said Ron.

Hermione opened her mouth to speak but Ginny suddenly appeared behind her and grabbed her her arm which turned her around.

Ginny began to jump up and down and chant, " We beat Moldywart, we beat Moldywart!"

Hermione soon joined her. Harry walked passed and Ginny, just Ginny, changed her chant to.

"My-will-be-my-boyfriend-again-soon beat Moldywart!" Hermione laughed so much she was crying.

Ron began to walk off with Harry and Harry said something to him. Ron laughed and said.

"Girls, you could stay there jumping up and down all day or you could come with us to the burrow to get some sleep."

"Oooo, Hermione, what should we do?" Asked Ginny

"We could go and get some sleep." Replied Hermione.

" Then jump up and down the tomorrow."said Ginny

"And the day after."

"And, the day after that"

"Woo Hoo." The girls said together. They then grabbed each others arms and ran after the boys.

Hermione ran strait into Ron's arms and he caught her and smiled but as Ginny got close to Harry she stopped and looked at the couple.

"Hermione, why the hell didn't you tell me?"She said.

"It didn't seem relevant at the time." Hermione replied.

"And what time was that?"Ginny asked.

"Weeeel, kinda in the middle of the war."

"In the middle of the war! You've like each other for, what, over 4 years." Ron and Hermione turned a shade of crimson. "And you choose the middle of the war!"

"And I STILL had to make the first move!"Added Hermione.

Ron opened him mouth to speak but shut it again.

"Great comeback Ron!" Harry said.

"Shut it, Potter!" Said Ron.

"Come on lets go!" Said Ginny.

The walked out onto the grounds and once they got out of it, they disapperated to the burrow. When they got there, their mouths dropped, they couldn't see the warm, welcoming, family home that they would usually see; they saw wreckage and, as they looked up they saw a skull in the sky, the dark mark, Voldermort's last work. Mr and Mrs Weasley were standing closer to the house with their wands out trying to fix some of the rubble. Mrs Weasley turned to face the trio and Ginny.

"I don't know what you were expecting, You Know Who would have sent some people here, it's inevitable, Harry , Ginny, Hermione come and help fix the house." Said Mrs Weasley sternly.

"But mum I'm under age and-" Said Ginny

Mrs Weasley interrupted her. " Do you honestly think people will care right now."

"I guess not."

Without another word Hermione walked around the burrow swishing her wand. Harry followed but Ginny grabbed his arm and smiled, they also began fixing the burrow.

Mrs Weasley walked closer to Ron. " I need you young man to talk to George, he's in the paddock, tell him positive things, make him laugh, please."

"Of coarse mum." He walked off to the paddock and found George sitting there tears trickling down his cheeks. Ron sat down besside him.

"Oh George, I know it's hard right now bu-"

"HARD, HARD, YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW."

"No George I haven't got a clue. But I do know how close you were, I know how much you relied on each other, I know how hard it's gonna be without him, for all of us. But Fred wouldn't want us to be like this, to mourn. He would want us to remember the good things about him. How he made us laugh, how he always found the positive in everything, how he cared for us and loved us all.

"That's what he would want us to remember and he died the way he would want to, he was fighting for his rights, fighting for your rights, fighting for all our rights, fighting for freedom. And now, now he's up there in a happy place, where he can look down on us, he's watching us right now,can't you feel it? He would want us to be happy about the victories, about what he, and everyone fought for. I know it hurts real bad now, George, but we have to fight it because the happiness we could feel right now is worth fighting for and we have to fight for it. It's what Fred would have wanted, don't you think?"

George looked up and said "Wow, I guess so, when you put it like that it all seems okay, like he died and it wasn't in vain because we got what we wanted, and I wish I could share it with him but Fred, mate, if your listening, you'll always be here, in my heart. Your the best brother anyone could ask for and I think that I will celebrate and be happy, because that's what you would have wanted me to do. You celebrate to, up there and You No Poo's gone to hell, and I know it's frozen over. Were all safe, thanks for fighting. And Fred. Keep On Laughing.
