Author's Note: Hello! I don't know why I wrote this one *sighs*. I have different ideas for the next chapters but I don't have the time to write. And I really appreciate all those who've read, 'favorited', followed, and reviewed.

She was at the library again. Hermione could not remember a day in her life when she went to a library not for academic purposes, well, except yesterday and that day. Fred really left her restless. She was busy thinking about what else to add in her list of "Good qualities of Hermione Granger" The things Harry told her the other night were already on the list. Her talk with Harry made her a bit confident about herself. Although she couldn't avoid being embarrassed every time she would remember what he said before he went to their dorm. He knew it was for Fred. Hermione groaned.

Hermione was too preoccupied with her own thoughts that she failed to see Fred walking towards her. He stood behind her and peered at the paper she carelessly left at the table without any cover. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Fred whisper, "You should have added courageous, kind, optimist, sexy, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, and breathtaking." Hermione froze when she heard him. She felt him behind her, his face a few inches away from her own, his breath tickling her neck as he whispered. She wasn't able to utter a single word. Her pulse quickened. Her face flushed.

Fred, noticing Hermione's lack of response, asked, "What is this list for Hermione?" He sat beside Hermione, his elbow resting on the table, supporting him as he rested his head on his hand while looking directly at Hermione's flushed face.

Hermione's face turned even redder which amused Fred even more. "It's –it's, umm, it's just something, umm-"

"Isn't this a first?" Fred interrupted. "Hermione Granger, stuttering? Impossible." He teased. "What's the matter Hermione?"

Hermione gathered all the courage she could muster. She faced Fred while hoping that the blush on her cheeks would go away. "It's nothing." She denied.

"Come on Hermione." Fred whispered. "Tell me, what's the matter? I can keep a secret. You know you can trust me." He encouraged. "Of course you can trust me. I'm Fred Weasley." Fred puffed his chest proudly.

"Of course. You're Fred Weasley. I bet I can even trust you with my wand. You're just an honest wizard with a clean reputation." She whispered back dryly. Fred grinned. They were back to their usual friendly banter.

Fred gasped. "You don't trust me Hermione?"

"Oh I trust you." Hermione assured him. Then her smile turned into a wicked grin as she added, "I trust you way way more than I trust Crabbe or Goyle." Fred's grin widened. "Well, you sure do trust me a lot." Fred stood up and held a hand for Hermione. "Come on Hermione, I'm going to show you how much you can trust the incredibly handsome and intelligent Fred Weasley."

"Uh-oh. I think I could already hear Percy warning me. I think I must listen to him now. Don't you think? Especially since I trust him more than I trust you." Although it was only meant to be joke, she could feel Fred tensed a bit because of what she said. His enthusiastic grin vanished and was replaced by a polite and forced smile. Just suddenly remembering that Fred "likes" her, she mentally slapped herself in the face for her careless blunder.

Just to reassure Fred, Hermione smiled widely, grabbing Fred's offered hand and stood up. She stood on tiptoe then leaned closer to Fred and whispered conspiratorially, "Just so you know, trusting Percy was young Hermione's way. Now? Things change."

After hearing Hermione's whispered 'confession', Fred's grin came back, earning a noticeable flush on Hermione's cheeks. Pretending it didn't affect her, Hermione continued, "Well? Where are you taking me? I'm not going to wait forever Fred Weasley." She crossed her arms across her chest while tapping her foot on the floor with her eyebrows raised.

Fred's excitement was obvious. His eyes lit up. His smile widened even more. He immediately took Hermione's hand in his, making Hermione blush. Again. He dragged her along corridors, not once did he let go of Hermione's hand.

When they are finally in front of an empty portrait, in a part of the castle Hermione haven't reached before, Fred knocked and a middle aged woman peaked at the corner, assessing the students in front of her. When her eyes finally landed on Fred, she gave a cry of excitement and shouted, "Oh Fred, it's you! Haven't seen you in a while eh?"

Fred shrugged. "Well yeah. I've been busy." The woman's eyes transferred to Hermione. She gave her a small smile which she returned with her own. "So I see." The woman replied, earning a blush from Hermione.

"I would assume that you want to go inside."

"Oh yes. I would like to show Hermione what's inside. I know she'll be thrilled." Fred replied with a grin. Hermione watched the two interact. Obviously Fred had been here many times. And the fact that the woman inside the portrait seemed to know a lot about him.

"Very well. I hope you enjoy your stay." She said, more to Hermione than to Fred. She gave them a final wave and the portrait opened.

When the woman in the portrait left, Fred turned and looked at Hermione. "Let's go pretty perfect Prefect." Fred went inside with Hermione just behind him. He still didn't let go of her hand, Hermione noticed. She felt her heart skipped a bit.

Hermione tiptoed and peeked above Fred's shoulder to see what was in front of them. She knew that they were already near the place Fred wanted her to see.

Finally, when they reached the end of the tunnel, Hermione adjusted to the light that was barely there before. Fred squeezed her hand when she gasped. She finally saw what was in front of them.

And Merlin bless Fred, the place was amazing.

HEYYYYY. As you can see, I've left it hanging. :) What do you think should make the place "amazing"? What did Hermione see? Well guys, whatever it is, it's up to you. ;) So what do you think?
