Author's Notes: One last time……

Disclaimer: Doesn't It Seem Crazy Like Apes I Might Eventually Reply.

….okay I have no idea what that means, my friend just thought it would be funny to spell out disclaimer with other words……but I still don't own it.


Flashback

The Order of the Phoenix was gathered at 12 Grimmauld Place. The mood was tense, as Ron and Harry were about to leave to destroy the last Horcrux. They would be gone for at least two weeks. Then a week later the Order would go after the Death Eaters and Harry after the Dark Lord himself.

Last minute details where discussed and good-bye's where said. Ron and Harry remained quiet as they grabbed their bulging packs. Auror's had supplied dark detectors, and the twins had given some of their "not for sale" products. Molly as always had packed lunches and Hermione had given a notebook with all her research and useful spells. The two boys nodded at the Order and vanished with a pop!

Fred turned to Hermione, but found she was gone. He instantly knew where she was. The Burrow. He gave his mum a weak smile then disappeared.

Fred appeared in the room Ginny and Hermione shared. It was spotless as norm, but the window was open. He looked out and found Hermione standing on the roof her cheek tear stained. Fred quickly climbed out to join her, slipping his shoes off on his way. Hermione sniffled as he wrapped his arms around her.

"It's okay Minnie." Fred whispered in her ear.

She bit her lip. "How do you know?"

Fred gazed down into her eyes. "I have faith in them."

Hermione shook her head. "I don't want to lose you."

"I am not going anywhere."

"You promise?"

Fred turned to face her. "Hermione, I love you more than life itself. If anything was to happen to you I would die." He wiped her tears away. "I love you Minnie."

Hermione sniffled again as she smiled. "I love you Fred."

Fred pulled her in close, her head resting on his shoulder, when a thought came to his mind. He looked down at Hermione. "Marry me."

Hermione lifted her head and looked at Fred. "What?.." Her knees went weak.

"Marry me." Fred knelt in front of her. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you Hermione. No matter how long or short it may be. I love you. You are the one for me." He gazed into her eyes. "So, Hermione Jane Granger. Marry me?"

Hermione gasped and smiled through the tears. "Yes."

"WHAT?!?!" Several voices shouted at once.

Fred looked at his fuming family. He gulped fearing the wrath that would come. Unable to meet the gaze of any of them he looked to the floor.

"We are married." Fred quietly murmured.

"Since WHEN?!?" yelled Ron.

Fred and Hermione looked at each other before saying, "January 16th." Ron's jaw dropped. Fred sunk lower into the couch and Hermione blushed harder. "Four years ago."

Everyone stood still in utter shock; George however did the math.

"That was the night Ron and Harry left. The night we began the plans for the Final Battle." George smiled at the couple.

Fred wrapped his arm around Hermione. "I love her." he shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't want to lose her."

Harry opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by crying. Everyone turned to see Molly still holding Lily, bawling. "Oh my babies!" Molly stood as well as Hermione and Fred. Molly walked to them and hugged them both. "My little boy! And Hermione! I always knew you would be a part of this family!" Molly said sobbing.

Hermione looked nervous, "You aren't mad?…."

"Mad! Mad? Mad that my son fell in love and married the girl of his dreams?" Molly shook her head and glanced at the sleeping child in her arms. "How could I stay mad at the parents of my beautiful grandbaby."

Fred looked cautiously at the rest of the Clan. Jesse, Fleur and Ginny where all in tears. Bill, Arthur, Harry and Charlie had grins on their faces and Ron was still in shock. The women all rushed to Hermione and formed a group hug. Ginny saying, "Your officially my sister!"

Charlie stepped towards Fred and shook his hand. "Good choice mate."

Bill also took his hand. "Bit surprised you kept it a secret this long…but…"

George cut in. "Can't believe you didn't invite your own twin!!"

"But we are happy for you, Fred." Harry put in.

Ron shook himself out of his daze. "We are glad you are back, brother."

Fred looked at his wife, still trapped in the hug. "Me too, little brother, me too."
