Author's Note: Well, even though I did not get any more reviews (sniffles) I'm going to write another chapter. So. bum ba bum bum!

Here we go!

---------------------------------**---------------------------------

Miles knocks on Hermione's door and slips an envelope underneath it.

She walks over to pick it up and opens the flap.

She reads the note and stares at it in a bit of disbelief.

"Well, isn't that just dandy," she said with a smirk crawling across her face.

---------------------------------**---------------------------------

Miles was standing in the living room of the Bachelor pad waiting for one missing person to come down the stairs.

When they all heard foot steps they turned around.

"Draco, how nice of you to grace us with your presence," Chris said jokingly.

"Gotta do the gel, sorry," Draco said pointing to his hair laughing with everyone else. The guys actually liked Draco's company. Of course, Fred and Justin were a bit weary of him but they were making the best of the situation.

"Ahem," Miles said gaining the attention of the room. "The next set of dates will be two group dates and two individual dates. The individual dates will be chosen on a basis of compatibility. You all previously took tests before the show and based on those answers we are choosing one man to go based on intelligence and the other based on likenesses. The information for the first date is in this box. Have fun guys," Miles said then apparating out of the room.

Jake opened the box and saw three cowboy hats and a pairs of spurs. He took the yellow envelope that was placed on top of it and read aloud,

"John, Fred and Chris will be joining me on a ride through the
Tuscan hills.
Love Always,
Hermione

Fred was already wearing his hat smiling happily, "Ride 'em cowboy!"

---------------------------------**---------------------------------

Hermione stood at the stables waiting a little impatiently for the men.

"Just like them to be late," she said to herself, but before she knew it they popped up in front of her.

"Sorry were late 'Mione, but Fred had a little mishap with the spurs," John said apologetically.

"Oh, what happened?" Hermione said inquisitively.

"Well apparently putting them on isn't that easy," Fred said showing his bandaged fingers from behind his back, "It seems like every stupid thing in that house happens to me."

"Sorry to break it to you Fred, but I think its pretty natural," Chris said jokingly.

"Oh sod off," Fred said as everyone climbed up on to horses.

"And that's nice of you to leave me with the horse which is so conveniently smelling Chris' horse's arse." Fred said getting on his horse and trying to pull it away from Chris'.

They all began riding along the path through the trees occasionally making fun of how Fred's horse refused to obey him. Finally they came to a clearing with a hot tub conveniently placed in the middle of it.

Fred was instantly off his horse and tying it to a tree.

"In we go," Fred said stripping to his swim trunks jumping into the hot tub.

---------------------------------**---------------------------------

After they sat in the hot tub for a while joking around Hermione stood up. "Fred, can you come with me for a minute?"

"Surely," He said walking out of the hot tub and helping her out.

They wrapped themselves in towels and she guided him through an archway in the trees there was a cushion sitting on the ground. Fred basically leapt on it and laid down patting the spot next to him inviting Hermione on.

She looked at him and smiled. Fred could always do that to her. Even though some of the things he did with Fred she disapproved of greatly she still found that there was something about Fred that made her come out of her usually stiff self and just let loose. She jumped on the cushion too.

"Umm, Fred, do you think Ron will be angry at us 'dating'?" she asked looking into his eyes.

"Well he wasn't mad at Harry for marrying Ginny was he?"

"Actually when they first started dating he put up a fit about it. I guess it grossed him out a lot," Hermione said in her know-it-all voice.

"Well, ickle Ronniekins is just going to have to deal with it wont he?"

"I guess he will," she said chuckling a little. The couple laid there just thinking for a while. "Fred?" Hermione said sounding a little more serious than normal. "Do we actually know each other really well?"

"Err, I guess not." Fred stared at her for a moment analyzing every part of her face. He never truly noticed how magnificent a face was, or was it just that she was so amazingly stunning?

"Well Fred we should really try to know each other better shouldn't we?"

"Yea, we should," and on a sudden impulse Fred just leaned into her and kissed her. When he pulled away she just looked at him in a state of shock. "Umm, I smell food, uhh, I think we should go back," Fred said very jittery as he got up and walked back through the archway in the trees.

---------------------------------**---------------------------------

They walked back into the clearing and next to the hot tub was now a table with all types of barbequed food covering it.

Chris and John were already stuffing themselves so Fred and Hermione just helped themselves. They all sat in chairs underneath a red and white umbrella and were in the middle of a conversation when a note appeared.

Hermione picked it up and read, "Go in a circle and the guys must say their most embarrassing moment, starting with Chris,"

They all looked inquisitively at Chris waiting to hear his answer.

"Ok, well when I was like 2 years old I used to enjoy standing on the dining room table at Christmas and sing and dance around it. At first my mom was mad but she then decided it was funny so she took pictures of it instead. So I was dancing around in my diaper and it falls over so I bend over to pick it up and instead I summersault into the ham. The embarrassing part is, when I was like fourteen and some friends came over my mom brought them into the living room and showed them everything while I was in the bathroom. Of course they made copies and posted them everywhere saying, 'Chris wishes you a Merry Christmas'"

They all laughed a little and then turned to John.

"Alright, when I was 12 I was sitting in class minding my own business when someone tells me there is a spider on my desk. Since I am deathly afraid of spiders I got up and screamed like a little girl and ran around yelling 'Get the bloody thing off me'. The teacher held me down and took a piece of black paper off me saying 'If you think this is a spider then I am the great wizard Merlin'. It was pretty awful." John said blushing as they all laughed at his expense.

Now it was Fred's turn. "Well, it was the summer after my seventh year at Hogwarts and well, I have a twin brother, George, and we always play jokes on each other. So I was taking a shower and I heard my mom yell at me to come downstairs quickly. So I run out of the bathroom at wrap my towel around me. Then I'm standing at the door of my kitchen with my whole family, my brother's friend Harry and four of my sister's friends sitting there staring and laughing at me. So George takes a sausage from the platter and says, 'this little sausage is bigger than that. My brother charmed my towel so I could see it but to everyone else it was invisible. My whole family couldn't look at me straight for days. Needless to say my brother thought it was hilarious."

Everyone at the table laughed hysterically as another note appeared.

It read, "As your ride back to the stable say what you like most about Hermione."

They all got on their horses and began riding.

John began, "Well, Hermione is all around a great person. She is accomplished, she has goals and it seems like you can always count on her to be there."

"Thank you John," Hermione said smiling at him.

Next Chris said, "Hermione can catch the eye of everyone in a room. She has a presence and you can feel her warmth and her gentle heart."

"Your so sweet, Chris," she said with tears beginning to well in her eyes.

Fred started taking a deep breath, "Hermione can make any situation good. She is just all around amazing. When you see her you cant keep your eyes off of her because her inner and outer beauty shines all around her, as if she were an angel with a halo."

"Fred," was all Hermione could say through her silent sobbing. It was very rare for her to be told she was amazing. She never thought of herself as beautiful or wonderful but now it was apparent to her that people thought a lot of her and it made her feel truly special.

They all reached the stable and put their horses away.

Hermione gave everyone a kiss on the cheek before they apparated away.

Fred was the last one there.

She hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, you are absolutely wonderful." She pulled back with her arms still around his neck staring into his eyes "And don't feel bad," she said pulling him into a passionate kiss.
