A/N Just a short chappie to tease you and no doubt pyo


"Uh, no," Hermione said. She looked at Fred, scared.

"No, mum, you can't force us." Fred squeezed Hermione's shoulder reassuringly. She was freaking out.

"Yes, I can," Molly said matter of factly. "If Mr and Mrs Granger and your father and I deem in necessary for you to marry then by wizard law we can force you. Why don't you want to get married?" Molly looked at the young couple, her eyes wide and a confused look on her face.

"We're too young to get married," Hermione practically yelled.

"If you're old enough to have a baby then you're old enough to get married," Mr Granger stated. "Molly, I like this idea. Do I have to sign something?"

"Mum," Hermione said panicking. "No."

"Hermione, maybe it's for the best."

Hermione looked around wildly at her friends, searching for someone to help her but they were all nodding slowly, getting used to the idea.

Hermione stood up suddenly, nearly knocking Fred off the side of the chair. She walked up to her father, her eyes pleading with him.

"Daddy, no. Fred and I don't want to be married."

"Are you sure about that?" Mr Granger asked. Hermione turned to look a Fred. He had slipped into her chair and had a strange look on his face; a cross between happy and scared, if that's possible.

"You are actually considering this?" Hermione screeched. Fred stood up quickly and led Hermione upstairs to the room he used to share with his brother.

"Hermione, we both like each other, we're having a baby together," Fred tried to reason with her.

"Exactly; we like each other. Fred I care a great deal about you but I don't love you," Hermione said, tears falling freely down her cheeks.

"I don't love you either but I know, in my heart, that I could. It won't be so bad; we could have a long engagement." Hermione cried in earnest then, burying her head against Fred's chest, wrapping her arms around him. Fred held her tightly to him, whispering comforting words in her ear.

Eventually Hermione calmed down and offered Fred a watery smile.

"Sorry, I seem to crying all over my friends today."

He offered her a hankie from his pocket.

"It's okay, we don't mind." Fred took a deep breath and got down on one knee.

"So, Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"
