Hermione ran behind Harry and the brood of redheads, her chest aching with painful breaths as she tried to keep up. It had been all fun and games when they had suggested a race around the Burrow, but now Hermione was regretting it. While her friends were accustomed to physical activity, her stamina just couldn't compete and she was falling further and further behind.

Her muscles cried out for rest and she paused, bending over with her hands on knees. "Wait... for... me..." she called out. However, they all kept running, their laughter carrying on the fine summer wind that blew through the trees.

Hermione groaned, closing her eyes and trying to calm her breathing. She would catch up with them soon. Sure, they would laugh and tease, but she just couldn't go another second.

Eventually, she regained enough strength to continue. She opened her eyes, stepping forward and right into Fred who had appeared before her. She cried out as she lost her balance, sending the two of them stumbling to the ground.

Fred chuckled as he looked down at the red-faced girl laying on top of him. "Hermione, if you wanted to kiss me so bad, you could have just asked," he said.

The girl's face got even redder as she jumped to her feet. "I did not kiss you!" she practically screamed as she adjusted her clothes.

Fred rose to his feet and placed a hand on her arm. He turned her towards him and asked, "Well, can I kiss you?"

Before she could even respond, he leaned down and placed his lips against hers. A small sound escaped Hermione's throat, but once she got over her surprise, she threw her arms around the Weasley's neck, pulling him closer.

"Get a room, why don't you?" someone called out.

The pair pulled apart to see George smirking, while Ginny, Harry and Ron stared at them in shock. Hermione turned tail, and ran away from the gangly redhead she was just kissing and back towards the house.

Fred just scowled at his twin. "Did you have to do that?"
