A Boy Near the Lake

Hermione was sitting the common room studying with Ron and Harry when she
left her Transfiguration book in the girls' dormitory.

"Down to the lake." Hermione said simply.

"No, what he wants you to do is go on with your life."

"Herm'"

"Yeah?"

"I just wanted to thank you for," Fred paused her and though, "helping get my life
back on track."

"You're welcome."

Fred and Hermione slowly came together and then………………………………
