Spring had finally arrived at the Burrow, the girls were helping Molly garden again and the boys were playing quidditch almost every day.
On a particularly bright day, they decided to eat lunch outside. The whole Weasley family sat around a large picnic table, and scarfed down all of the delicious food Molly has prepared earlier. When they were done, the boys all played Quidditch once again and the girls watched. A little ways into the match Fred got benched and replaced by Arthur, for trying to knock George off of his broom. Hermione found the match uninteresting after that, and offered to clean up the table and kitchen. Molly agreed, though it wasn't keen she knew what she was saying, she was too concentrated on the match and making sure the boys didn't get hurt.
Hermione walked into the kitchen, only to be followed by Fred only seconds later.
"Nice day isn't it?" Hermione said grabbing a dishcloth and started doing dishes the muggle way.
"Yeah, it sure is." Fred said smiling wide.
"Why are you so happy?" Hermione asked also smiling, like his had happiness rubbed off on her.
"No particular reason." He said still smiling.
"Here, let me get that." He told Hermione, he pulled out his wand and made all the dishes start to clean and dry themselves. Hermione laughed at the site before turning around to face Fred.
"Thank you." Hermione said. Fred moved closer to her.
"Fred why did you come in here?" Hermione asked, suspicion in her voice rang through Fred's ears and he smirked slightly before leaning in and kissing Hermione square on the lips. Hermione was stunned at first, but then melted into Fred. She put her hand on his shoulder as she kissed him, and he wrapped his arm lightly around her waist.
They'd been waiting for this moment for the longest time, all the lust that filled both of them exploded while their lips moved in sync with each other. Hermione's stomach was filled with butterflies that fluttered up to her heart while Fred embraced her closer to him, their lips never disconnecting.
Fred drew his lips away; Hermione's lips were swollen as were Fred's. They both were breathing heavily. Hermione smiled as tears brimmed her eyes.
"I love you Fred Weasley." She said, a single tear fell over. Fred delicately wiped it away before kissing her softly.
"I love you too Hermione Jean Granger. I always will." Fred said. More tears spilled over.
"Don't cry 'Mione." Fred said running a gentle hand through her hair.
"But that's what got us here in the first place, isn't it?" Hermione said smiling even more wide, if that was possible.
Fred couldn't help but smile even more. He kissed Hermione again.
Fred and Hermione walked out of the kitchen and back down to the quidditch pitch with their hands intertwined. Everyone looked at them, Molly was shocked but smiled, Ginny was smiling and Ron almost fell of his broom. George yelled something along the lines of "Atta go Freddie!" from up in the air, while Arthur was smiling wide at his son.
"About time!" Harry yelled, diving after the snitch but quickly glancing at the two when everyone else had been making a commotion.
Fred smiled and released Hermione's hand, turned towards her and lifted her chin before gently kissing her in front of his whole family. The war was fading into the past as Fred and Hermione began their future.
