Darkness was falling fast around the Hogwarts' Express as it spread through the countryside towards Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Fred sat by the window, staring out at the blackening hills and forests as they travelled further and further north.
It was very relaxing, the movement as she rocked back and forth. It was peaceful, Hermione's head resting in his lap, the cross word in front of her, pen tucked behind her ear as she concentrated on the paper in front of her.
"Fred, what would be another word for 'a person you travel with' 9 letters?" He looked down at her up turned face, smiling at her. She looked so funny looking up at him from her upside down position.
"Um, friend, companion?" she clicked her fingers, grabbing her pen and scribbling the word down in the little squares she loved filling in so much.
After a few moments of silence Fred said, "Am I your companion?" She looked up at him again; a confused look on her face.
"No." His face became down cast. "Your not just my companion, you're my friend and my boy friend" He smiled, pushing back some of her hair as she sat up straighter, leaning her back against the window so her head was level with his.
"Really? I mean that much to you?" She laughed, her lips brushing over his check, causing him to shiver.
"Yeah, you mean that much." He grinned, kissing her lips.
"What's the next clue?" She just laughed and handed him the crossword, happy travel with her beloved companion.
