All's Fair In Love And War

Chapter 4: Breaking Me

Hermione went down to the Great Hall to have lunch with Ron and Harry. "I still can't believe you're dating my brother." Ron cried, staring at his food. Things were still awkward between them because of him dating Lavender. This is actually one of the first times they talked in weeks. "He's such a player. He hasn't had a girl friend since Angelina! Your relationship is too perfect. Isn't that right Harry?"

Harry just nodded and went to find Ginny to get rid of all the fighting. "Ron, I can date whoever I like. Be supportive, you're my bestfriend!" Hermione whispered angrily.

"Fine doesn't listen to me. I know what's best for you 'Mione. Now excuse me, I've um got some homework to finish."

Ron broke into a sprint. He wanted to make sure Hermione wouldn't be hurt at the end of this. He ran to his room and ransacked through Harry's trunk. He found it. The invisibility cloak. He put the invisibility cloak over him and ran to spy on Fred and George.

Ron found them by the black lake. He held his breathe and listened.

"It's one week til Christmas break Freddie." George kept reminding his twin everyday since Fred went on his first date with Hermione. "You still sure you're not falling for her. Kissing her in the hallway, both of you sneaking to the quidditch pitch at night."

"A lot can happen in a week George. Maybe a lot could happen for me tonight." Fred spun around and walked towards class; George tried to catch up.

"What do you mean a lot could happen? Are you gonna deflower little Ms. Granger?" George loved teasing him.

"Maybe." Fred said darkly. He couldn't bear doing this to her. But he had to. "Maybe." He repeated.

Ron couldn't believe it. He was right. He was just using her. Ron just sat in the grass debating whether to tell Hermione or not. He did; he ran around the castle trying to look for her. He had to find her before Fred did.

"Fred where are you taking me?" Hermione asked as she was being led, blindfolded, by Fred.

"You'll see." Fred said as he untied her blindfold. As soon as the she could see again, Hermione let out a gasp.

"Oh Fred!" They were in the room of requirement, there was a picnic in the middle of the room and the ceiling was filled with stars.

"Like our first date." Fred led her to the picnic. They talked and one thing led to another and they kissed. This kiss was slow and sultry.

"Would it be weird if I asked you something?" Hermione asked when she broke from the kiss.

"Go ahead Love." Fred kissed her nose.

"Will you be my.." Hermione paused. "Will you be my first?" PLEASE SAY YES… Fred nodded. Hermione felt a surge of happiness flow through her. She grabbed his button down shirt; pulling his lips to hers. She fumbled with the buttons on his jeans and she slid off his boxers. Fred let out small groan.

"Your turn." Fred whispered. Fred undressed her and started kissing her neck.

"Oh Fred." Hermione begged. Fred watched her expressions. Fred quickened the pace. Their breaths quickened. His arms gave out on him and he lay there on top of her. Fred laid his head on her chest listening to hear heartbeat.

"I love you Fred. This is the best night of my life. You were breath-taking."

"I love you too Hermione." He meant that. But at the end of the week, it would mean nothing at all. He kissed her lips one more time and they both fell into a deep sleep.

Fred and Hermione woke up with grins on their faces. They walked out hand and hand. Nothing can ruin this week. I'm going to live it to the fullest. But Fred thought it too soon. As soon as they thought the coast was clear, Ron comes out of the corner speeding towards her and Fred. "'Mione, I have something to tell you about your precious Fred. In Private." Ron practically spat out the last part. Ron gave his brother a dark glare.

"Ronald, if you're going to talk about Fred might as well say it to his face." Hermione felt her anger rise in her. Why talk to her and not Fred? She clutched.

"Alright then," Fred started to look nervous. "I'm only saying this because I don't want you to get hurt. I know lately I haven't been a good friend but here goes, Fred is using you. He and George made a bet that Fred can't get you into bed in a month without any feelings or strings attached." Ron looked at the floor, he felt guilty that he betrayed his brother, but he could never forgive himself if she got hurt at the end of the week.

By now, Hermione let go of Fred. "Is it true?" Fred wouldn't look at her and tried walking away. Hermione ran after him, turned him around and slapped him. "Is it true?" Hermione had tears pouring down her face.

"Yes I made a bet with George. But the no feelings thing is hard because I fell for you Hermione. I'm so sorry. I love you." Fred tried holding her hand but she took it away.

"Well you should've thought about that didn't you?" Hermione strode off and pulled Ron with it.

Hermione hugged Ron for the first time in ages. "Ron, I should've listened to you. I'm sorry."

"Hermione, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have ruined what you guys had. The way he looked at you, it seemed like he really loved you."

"Well, I don't like being used." Hermione clutched onto Ron while he tried to soothe and calm her. "He broke me."

A.N What do you guys think? :D
