A/N: Thank you for the reviews! I hope will like this chapter as much or more than the previous ones. I've got a little surprize in the end.. Enjoy reading! I only own my own imagination! (As I mentioned before and will say again!)
Mrs. Weasley had taken Ginny, Ron and Lavender on a trip to Diagon Alley. George was in the joke shop and Fred was packing the last things they had to take with them. I had stayed behind to clean the room I shared with Lavender and Ginny. I had taken my wand out, knowing the ministry could not track me here while there were still wizards of age in the house. I put the radio on and started to dance. Every twist and turn, every step and every movement was carefully made while enchanting everything in the flow of the music. Every single item founds it's place in the soft hush of my spells, twirling as they went. Clothes danced into the suitcases of their owners. Books flew to their shelves and everything found it's place within a few minutes. I bewitched some dolls to fly and dance in the air around me, dancing along with them. I was so absorbed in my little spell that I did not hear the door open. I was completely embarrassed when I saw Fred standing in the doorway with an amused look on his face. "Tell me you did not see that." I stammered. "I could do that. But why deny to have seen such a magical scene?"
"If your mother finds out she will hex me!"
"I won't tell her, I have been stepping out of line since I got my wand. Why should you not be allowed? I kind of like seeing you being the bad girl." He said with a cheeky grin. I turned red and made the dolls disappear. I heard a loud bang! I scared myself senseless and Fred was smirking like an idiot. "Fred! What did you do that for?" I shouted. He just grinned impishly and slowly walked up to me while I was preparing myself to go into a tirade. When he was only a foot away from me I felt my heart beat faster. "Fred…" I said threatening. He leaned over and whispered in my ear. "I did it because I like you. As I said, you can fall for me anytime."
"You did not say that. You said, and I quote, you can fall on me anytime." He laughed at that. "I might have known you would remember my words literally. It seems you have a talent for that." He shook his head and walked out the room. When he was out of hearing range I jumped into the air as far as I could, Fred liked me! When my feet touched the ground I thought again. This should not make me so happy, besides, quoting him literally might have made him think I did not like him at all! I had messed up big-time. How would I ever tell him I liked him too? I should go now, I said to myself but the door opened and I heard Mrs. Weasley and the others come in. Too late, my chance at a happily ever after had just left the building. I kept hoping he might not have misunderstood my quoting all the way until dinner. He and George were both unusually quiet. I kept hoping it was just a prank but they said a silent goodbye and George looked at me before he went out the door. Fred didn't look back. The guilt was overwhelming. I fled from the room and ran to my bed. How could I make this right? I can't make this right! I have to make it right. I don't know what to do… "Open the door!" Somebody said. "Go away!" I answered shouting. "Hermione, open the door or I will blast it out!" Ron shouted angrily. "I won't open the door! If your mother would know what you planned!"
"I warned you, besides, I don't think my mother would mind all that much." An instant later the door was blown away and Ron was putting his wand away. "You foul loathsome little rat! You don't come in by blowing the door away!" I shouted swinging my fists at his face. "You. Knock. And. Wait. For. The. Darn. Door. To. Be. Opened!" I shouted while trying to punch him with every single word I said. I was not really angry at him of course. I was pissed at myself for the mistake I had made, even though I would never admit it. "Mione! Relax! What is wrong with you!" He said, terrified by my reaction. "Nothing!" I said putting all my weight into stepping on his foot as hard as I could. "Ouch!" He said and hopped around the room clenching his foot. "I'm sorry." I said in a little voice and I fell down crying on my bed. "I'm so stupid." Ron knelt beside me. "Not any more stupid than I am. I should have noticed it."
"You couldn't have done anything, why does it matter?"
"Because my best friend and my brother got hurt for no reason at all. I have an idea. I have a room at the Leaky Cauldron reserved for the coming week. I was planning to spend some alone time with Lavender to celebrate our relationship, I think you should use it. I am sure Lavender won't mind, you know how much she loves love scenes. The only thing she won't like is not being there when you get together."
"You can't do that. You must have been saving up for it a terribly long time!"
"Ever since I asked Lavender. Which has been about three months now."
"I won't take it."
"Fine, I'll let Lavender put you in a box to be delivered at the shop. Take it or accept the idea of the box. I am sure Lavender will do it."
"Fine!" I said angry but inside I was relieved he gave me the chance to make it up to Fred. I packed my stuff and Ron went to tell Lavender what he had planned and why he had cancelled it. I did feel sorry for him. I would be saving up to pay him back, it was the least I could do. I went to bed without telling anyone, Ron had told me not do tell the others, they might take it out on Fred. I would leave in the morning and reach London in the afternoon. It would wait until closing time and go to the shop. That way we could talk things over without too much of a hurry. I slept without dream that night, waking up early to disappear before anybody would wake up. Sneaking out like a thief in the night to seek my love. How melodramatic have I gotten? If I were looking down on me now, I'd be disgusted with myself. I don't like the whole love drama things. I guess that all changes when you fall in love. Where did the chapter of my life where nothing happens go? I kind of want it back. It feels good not to know what love is like when your heart is broken. But then again, I would give anything to have a full and complete love with Fred, maybe I should tell him that. I just hope he will forgive me. I sat in my room preparing myself all day without being prepared in the end. I just had to face him on pure strength and I don't have much of that. The short walk to the shop of the twins seemed to take forever. It felt like I had walked for miles when I finally entered the shop. It was deserted, apart from George. He gave me one look and ran upstairs calling Fred, leaving me at the bottom of the stairs. There he was, Fred. He was more beautiful than ever before, knowing I might have lost him. I was speechless. "What do you want?" He asked, with a harsh tone. "I wanted to say I'm sorry."
"Ok." He said and turned away walking back up the stairs. "Please don't go!" I begged and I started crying. It was not supposed to go like this. He kept on walking. I sat there, numbed and crying, sinking so low in self-pity that I did not hear the fight Fred and George were having upstairs. George pushed Fred of the stairs, making him fall right on top of me. He winked slyly and yelled, taking me by the arm. "We'll talk." He said dragging me out of the shop. The moment we were out of the shop I felt the strange sensation that I figured, must belong with disappearating because we were in no place I knew with the blink of an eye. "Now we can talk. I'm sorry I hurt you back there. I didn't realize you liked me until George started yelling at me like a maniac. Do you love me?"
"I've never loved anybody more!"
"How much would you do for me?"
"I would do anything for you, you know that."
"Yeah…" He blushed with such an intense red that it was hard to see what was redder, his hair of his face. "What is it?" I asked him curiously. "I shouldn't be thinking this, let alone asking it."
"Asking what?" I said, getting a little bit scared. He looked me in the eyes, his gaze piercing straight into my soul. He took a deep breath and asked me the one question that would change our lives forever. "Will you marry me?"
A/N: Thank you for reading! Please review! I really love reading what you think! I think I am keeping Chapter 5 a little longer after finishing it, just to keep a healthy tention :P
