174. Epilogue
**NO ONE'S POV**
"Is this really happening? Gred, tell me it is!" Fred said nervously.
"Forge, it is happening, now come the fuck down!" George slapped his arm.
"I can't! What if she changes her mind?" Fred asked with fear.
"She won't change her mind. Now shut it before I get Ginny!" George threatened.
It was the day like any other day. IT WAS FRED AND HERMIONE'S WEDDING DAY! Everyone they knew was there. Even Hermione's parents, who she found in Australia a few days ago. George was trying to get Fred to calm down, but was sort of failing.
"Gred, I'm freaking out" Fred sighed as George fixed his tie.
"Forge, as the Best Man, I'm getting you calm. I can't let you be crazy for your wedding day. I bet Bill was nervous when he and Fleur got married."
"I was" Bill entered the room.
"WILLIAM ARTHUR WEASLEY HELP ME!" Fred begged.
"First off, don't call me William. Second, calm down" Bill said with a smile. "Everything'll go perfectly fine. Hermione loves you and you love her and everyone's happy!"
"Okay, I haven't been this nervous ever since I proposed" Fred said in panic.
"I know the feeling" Bill laughed.
"Everyone gets nervous on the wedding day, Freddie," George said calmly.
"So will you!" Fred said.
"Hey, I haven't proposed to Ange yet. I will, but not yet" George said.
With Hermione, Ginny, and Luna, that was an entirely different story.
"Ronald tells me Fred is freaking out," Luna smiled.
"Of course he is" Ginny giggled.
"He was nervous. As am I" Hermione said.
"It's your wedding day. Be happy and not nervous" Ginny said with a smile.
"Ginny's right, Hermione. You shouldn't be nervous" Luna said sweetly.
"I'm happy and nervous," Hermione said, fixing her hair.
**Fred: You don't need to do that, 'Mione!**
"Sis, as the Maid of Honor, and George as Best Man, we will do everything we can to stop getting you to be nervous and be happy!" Ginny said.
"I know that" Hermione sighed. "It's like how happy you were when you and Harry started dating."
"That was a happy day" Ginny stared off.
"Ginny!" Luna snapped her finger in Ginny's face.
"Sorry" Ginny laughed.
After getting the Groom and Bride ready, the wedding FINALLY started!
As Fred waited for Hermione with George at his side, Hermione entered with Ginny and Luna following and Mr. Granger had his arm linked with Hermione's.
"She looks beautiful," Fred said breathlessly.
"You say that every time you see her" George whispered.
"That's because it's true," Fred smirked.
As Hermione reached the twins, Mr. Granger let go and went to the seat next to Mrs. Granger with Ginny and Luna stepping to the side.
"Hey, 'Mione" Fred linked his and Hermione's arm.
"Hi. Ready?" She whispered.
"Yep" Fred said happily.
After the long vows and regular wedding stuff, the 'I do's came and Fred and Hermione snogged as everyone cheered.
"Finally" George sighed.
"Our little Hermione is all grown up" Harry said.
"She's not little anymore, Mate" Ron laughed.
**Eighteen Year Later...**
"Nathan! Please be good this year. You're too much like your father and uncle" Hermione said to her eleven year old son, Nathan.
"'Mione, if it's my son then of course he'll be like me and George!" Fred joked.
"See Mum?" Nathan pointed to Fred.
"Please watch him, Teddy" Hermione said to Teddy Lupin.
"I will, Aunt Hermione," Teddy laughed.
"Teddy, fix your hair," Tonks said.
Teddy chuckled and changed his hair to his natural hair color.
"Hey, Nathan!" Fred George Weasley smiled as he and James Sirius Potter approached him.
"Hey, guys. Where's Lysander and Rosie?" Nathan questioned.
"Aunt Luna and Uncle Ron are still getting them settled," James said.
"NOOO. We're done" Ron said as he and Luna approached.
Luna and Ron had gotten married and had the twins Rose Luna Weasley and Lysander Ron Weasley.
"And we're right here" Rose said coming from behind Fred II, James, and Nathan with Lysander.
"Merlin, guys!" James jumped.
"Where's Uncle Harry, James?" Luna asked.
"He's over there telling Lily to stop being a prat" James pointed to his Harry and a little ginger girl.
"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER!" Ginny smacked his head.
"Ow!" James rubbed his head.
Unsurprisingly, Ginny and Harry had gotten married and had James, Albus Severus Potter, and Lily Ginny Weasley.
"Ginny, don't do that to little Jamsie" Sirius ruffled James' hair.
"I blame you, Sirius" Ginny crossed her arms.
"Why me?!" Sirius asked, upset. Not really...
"Because, if he hadn't learned all those pranks from you, then he would be perfectly like Harry and I" Ginny said.
"Give the kid some slack, Gin," George said coming with Angelina and their daughter.
George and Angelina got married and had Fred II and Roxanne Angelina Weasley.
"Thank you, Uncle George," James said.
"Pranksters" Hermione rolled my eyes.
"You married one, Love" Fred kissed her.
"And you gave birth to one" Nathan smirked.
"At least try to be good. It's your First Year" Hermione said.
"I will, Mum" Nathan leaned out so Hermione could kiss his cheek.
"Please be good you two" Angelina said to James and Fred II.
"If their namesake are pranksters, then that wouldn't be any good. And both first and middle are pranksters for both" Remus said happily.
As Harry, Lily, and Albus came by, and everyone said their goodbyes.
"Bye Mum! Bye Dad!" Nathan said as the train moved.
Hermione waved and the train was out of sight.
"He'll be alright" Fred wrapped his arms around Hermione.
"I know he will. He's your son of course" Hermione giggled.
"Love you, 'Mione" Fred whispered.
"I love you, too, Fred" Hermione kissed his cheek and they watched the grey smoke dissolved together.
**Flashbacks **
**Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone**
"Excuse me? Do you mind? All the others are full" Hermione said to Fred.
"Not at all" Fred said.
"My name is Hermione Granger" Hermione said with a smile.
"Fred. Fred Weasley. Nice to meet you miss Granger" Fred said with a smile while putting his hand out for me to shake.
"Nice to meet you Fred." Hermione said while shaking his hand.
"I've never seen you round here. You a first year?"
"Ya" Hermione nodded.
"Well maybe once you've been sorted, I can show you 'round..." Fred said with a smile
"That would be lovely. Thank you Fred." Hermione said with a grin.
**Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets**
"What?" Hermione asked retrieving the letter and read it aloud:
Dear 'Mione,
Happy Valentine's Day. Mine was great so I tried to find the perfect gift and I think I found it. I really hope you like it. Happy Valentine's day, again.
With love,
Fred
"Fred! What did you do?" Hermione asked.
Fred heard a gasp come from Hermione.
"Fred. How did you- When did you- I love it!" Hermione hugged Fred tightlyShe looked at the gift once more.
"Oh Fred! It's beautiful! I love it! How did you get this?" Hermione said.
"I'm really happy you like it 'Mione" Fred said, holding the charm bracelet and putting it on her right wrist.
The charm bracelet was sliver. It had a silver charm that was a locket shaped like a heart. The other lockets were stars and smaller hearts.
"Thank you so much Fred!" Hermione said, giving Fred another hug.
"Open the locket" Fred said, putting his arm around her.
She opened the locket and it showed her a moving picture of Hermione and Fred. Just when the picture was being taken, George came in and scared Fred while Hermione laughed.
"Thank you, Fred," Hermione said again.
**Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban**
"Are you okay?" Fred asked.
"All this time, it was Pettigrew. If he really did die and didn't blame it on Sirius, Harry could have lived with him. Or if Pettigrew never met Harry's mum and dad, Harry would have had a family" Hermione said sadly.
"Look at me," Fred said, stopping and kneeling down, looking Hermione straight in the eye.
"You and I both know that we can't change the past. What's done is done. I want to help Harry have a family, too. But we can't do anything about it. He has a new family. Us! Now that he knows Sirius is innocent, he has another family member that can treat him like his son" Fred said.
Hermione let one tear flow down her cheeks and Fred wiped it off. He smiled which made Hermione smile. He stood up and held Hermione into a big bear-hug and whispered "He has a new family. You have another family. We have a family.
"Let's go lovebirds!" George said walking towards the light. Hermione blushed as she let Fred go. Before she did, she smiled in his chest and walked out of the Shrieking Shack hand-in-hand with Fred.
**Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire**
"I can't. I feel like someone else will get killed anytime, soon! What if it was you?" Hermione asked.
" I would cry even more!" Ginny said.
"I would kill whoever killed you," George said, sounding serious.
"And I have no idea what to say" Fred said honestly.
"Exactly. I have this feeling that someone will be next. I don't want it to be any of you" Hermione said crying harder Fred held her tighter and whispered "I wouldn't want it to be you either. I would die if you were killed."
"I love you" Hermione whispered.
Fred smiled and whispered back "I love you, too."
**Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix**
Fred's eyes widened and Hermione asked "What's wrong?"
"Mistletoe" Fred whispered.
"What was that?" Hermione asked not to catch what Fred said.
Fred pointed up and Hermione saw the mistletoe. Hermione blushed and smiled a little.
Fred smirked and she stepped on her tiptoes to kiss Fred.
Hermione's hand went through his ginger hair and his hands were on her hips. After a while, Hermione pulled away from the kiss to look at Fred.
"'Mione?" Fred asked.
"Yes?" Hermione asked looking into his eyes.
"I know I never told you this and it's been going on for five years straight, but I like you, I'm only saying this once, Hermione Granger" Fred said smiling. "More than a friend or a sister."
"I know you do. I should have told you this, but I heard you talking about me before we left Hogwarts. I mean when Harry had his hearing. I'm sorry I didn't tell you" Hermione said showing a weak smile.
**Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince**
"Hello, Love. Care for a Butterbeer?" One of the twins asked.
"I have a boyfriend. And if I didn't, I wouldn't like one from you" Hermione snapped at him not looking at him like Harry and Ron.
"You seriously don't know who we are, don't you?" The other one asked.
"Why would I bother to?" Hermione asked.
"'Mione, you don't bother to give me a hug?" Fred asked standing up.
Hermione looked up and found Fred and George.
"Fred!" She shrieked. She stood up and hugged him tightly.
"Ya. Now you hug me?" Fred smirked, making Hermione remember what happened in her third year when she went to the Leaky Cauldron. He hugged her back after a quick second.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think you would be coming" Hermione said with a smile.
Fred looked into her eyes and pressed his lip onto hers.
**Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows**
"Look Granger, I've been planning to ask you this ever since we came here, well on the hunt" Fred said with a smile. "And it's very hopeful for me and I'm very sure about it."
"Fred, what are you going on about?" Hermione asked.
"If you must know 'Mione, ' it's this," Fred said.
He took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and pulled out of the box.
Hermione gasped, putting her hands over her mouth, and tears were coming into her beautiful, hazel eyes.
He took another deep breath and opened the box. It had a shining beautiful ring with a silver band with silver diamonds going around it and a diamond bigger than all the rest lay beyond the middle.
"Again, only saying this once, but Hermione Granger, I've been in love with you since the day we met. Don't know if you knew that, but I love you so much. I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?" Fred asked.
Hermione removed her hands from her mouth and smiled and shrieked "Yes!"
"Yes!" Fred jumped up, picking her up by the waist again and swinging her around.
"I love you, 'Mione," Fred said.
"I love you even more," Hermione said.
Fred handed her the ring and she placed it on her left ring finger.
"Thank you, Fred!" Hermione then hugged Fred again tightly.
"Hey, I'm just so happy you said yes" Fred sighed with relief.
"I love you so much to even let you go" Hermione buried her tears in his chest.
"I love you with my life" Fred smiled putting his arms around her.
