128. Snatchers and Perfume

**Fred's POV**

"That locket has really gotten to his head" I said to Mione.

"Ya. It's the evil in it. It was like possessing him" 'Mione responded with a frown.

"When you said we'd take turns with it, you mean actually wear it?" I asked seriously.

"Of course. We have to hide it and if one of us goes crazy like Harry did, another person takes it" 'Mione explained.

"What if someone does crazy and does something completely mental?"

"Then we take the locket. What would they do anyways?" 'Mione asked.

"I dunno, kill themselves" I said.

"We'll be watching the person every second. Make sure they don't go loony and don't get hurt" 'Mione tightens our hands together.

"If you go completely mental with that, I think I have to kiss you to snap you out of it" I sang with a smile.

"I'm Hermione Granger. I don't do the wrong thing" 'Mione jokes.

"What about when we went to get the Sorcerer's Stone?" I asked.

"You were there, too" 'Mione added.

"I'm Fred Weasley. I always do the wrong thing" I smiled.

"Ya" 'Mione agreed, nodding her head.

"Hey, shouldn't you be supportive?" I asked her to take her waist.

"No. That's what George's for" 'Mione smirked and ran away from me.

"Get back here, Granger!" I chased after her.

We reached the tent and it was nearly midnight.

"Gottcha" I took 'Mione by the waist again and lifted her off her feet.

"Fred!" She laughed.

"Yes, Love?" I asked as I slung her over my shoulder and I walked inside the tent.

"Put me down" She demanded. I could tell by her voice she was smiling.

"But 'Mione, I can't," I joked.

"Why is that?" I could feel her crossing her arms.

"Because, I don't wanna" I smiled.

"Fred, put me down" 'Mione whined.

"Alright, alright, Granger" I set her back on her feet. "You win this round."

"Don't I always?" She asked with a smile and went outside to keep guard.

"You're loony about Granger, aren't you?" I heard George asked.

"Shouldn't you know that by now?" I asked with a smile.

"I dunno. I forget things" George shrugged.

"Ya" I simply said.

"What?" George asked, confused.

"I'm crazy for her" I smiled to myself.

"See. I told you I forget things" George joked.

"Then stop forgetting things. Sooner or later, you're gonna forget who you're dating" I joked grabbing a blanket.

"I do know who I'm dating, thank you very much" George crossed his arms jokingly.

"Who then?" I asked, stopping at the tent entrance.

"Angelina Johnson, that's who" George smiled.

"Whatever, Forge. Night" I headed out.

"Night, Gred!" I heard George call back.

I found 'Mione sitting by the fire.

**Hermione's POV**

"You cold, 'Mione?" Fred asked, putting a blanket around me.

"Bit" I smiled slightly.

Fred sat down next to me and put his arm around me for support.

"It's a gorgeous night" I sighed.

"Not as gorgeous as you" Fred kissed me on my forehead.

"Thanks, Weasley. You're not bad yourself" I leaned on his shoulder.

"I know. I'm amazing" Fred joked.

"I guess" I agreed.

We then heard a twig snap.

"Sh" I said quietly to Fred as he and I stood up.

We whipped out our wands and followed where the snap came from.

"Stay close, 'Mione" Fred took my hand.

"Okay" I nodded.

We heard the autumn breeze clashing into the colored leaves quietly.

"This is where the enchantments were placed" I mentioned.

We heard someone stepping on the leaves and we looked to see Snatchers with one carrying a body.

Me and Fred froze as they walked by not seeing us.

"What's that?" One of them asked me to stop.

He then turned to face me and Fred still not seeing us. He walked closer to us, not passing the enchantments and I gasped. The Snatchers didn't hear me though.

"What's that smell?" The Snatcher asked.

Fred pulled me closer to him.

The Snatcher that was carrying the body then dropped it.

"What are you doing?" The Snatcher that walked up to me and Fred asked.

"It's heavy."

"Oh, sorry. Do you want me to carry it?" The Snatcher asked sarcastically walking towards them.

I let out a sigh of relief as I buried my face into Fred's chest.

"Yes, thank you" The Snatcher that dropped the body said.

"Don't be ridiculous. Pick it back up" They then walked away.

"Snatchers" We heard Harry say.

"Harry," I said with relief.

"Good to know your enchantments work, Hermione" Harry complimented me.

I looked back at the Snatchers and said "He could smell it. My perfume."

"We should get back" Fred said, taking my hand and we walked back to the tent.

"Can we Apparate, now?"Harry asked.

"I've told you, Ron isn't strong enough to Apparate" I told him.

"Can't the twins Apparate us?" Harry asked again.

"We tried, Mate. We only went like a few feet away from here" Fred responded.

"Fine, then. We'll go on foot" Harry said simply. "And next time, Hermione, as much as I like your perfume, just don't wear it any."

"Alright Harry" I smiled and we went inside the tent.
