After that day's classes, Emma sat against on of the trees over-looking the lake. She couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of Fred liking her. Her hand unconsciously went to her cheek. "Wow, that sunset sure is pretty." a voice said behind her.
"I know." she replied.
Fred came and sat next to her, "Hey, about this morning…I don't know what I was thinking."
"Don't worry about it Fred. Although, you did help Hermione's and Ginny's theory."
"And what's that?"
Emma smiled, "That you like me. As more than a friend."
Fred looked down, "Well…I do."
Emma blinked and finally looked at Fred, "What?"
Fred grabbed her hand, "Em, I really like you. I have since second year."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I was too afraid of rejection."
Emma threw her arms around him, "Fred…I've always liked you."
Fred smiled, "Does this mean what I think it means?" Emma nodded. Fred stood up, pulled Emma up, placed his hands on her wais, and placed his mouth on hers. They kissed as the sun went down. They pulled apart and Fred smiled, "You need to wake up now."

Emma's eyes shot open. Apparently she had fallen asleep during History of Magic. She looked up and saw George, "Hello Emma."
Emma grabbed her stuff and stood, "Hey George." She began walking out.
George followed her, "So, fancy my brother do you?"
Emma stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face George, "What?"
He smiled, "Just what I thought."
"H-how did—"
"I know? You mumble in your sleep." Emma's hands flew to her mouth. "Didn't say much. Just mumbled Fred's name a few times."
"Oh no, did anyone else hear?"
He shook his head, "No, the only reason I heard is because we sit together."
She sighed, relieved, "Thank god."
"But I could tell him."
Emma pushed him up against the wall, "You say anything and you're dead." She let him go.
George smiled, "Wow! You really like him."
"Yeah."
He nodded, "Hmm…you sing right?"
"Yeah…what are you getting at?"
He smiled his 'I-am-up-to-something' smiled, "I think I have a plan."
"Oh boy." Emma sighed.
