Chapter Eight: The Time of Her Life

As Hermione stood in the Astronomy wing, she wondered why Fred could have possibly brought her here, instead of catching up with her at the feast, or in the halls while she was patrolling. She would have hell to pay about that note from Lavender and Parvati, especially once they found out that she had broken up with Ron.

Where the hell was he? Hermione wondered to herself after standing in the wing for almost 10 minutes. Another few minutes passed and he didn't show up. She turned to leave when all of a sudden the dark Astronomy wing was suddenly light by dozens of candles throughout the room.

Fred stood in the middle of the room, holding a bouquet of lilies and roses; her two favorite flowers. She walked over to him and he handed her the flowers. He held out his hand to her. "Dance with me?" he asked softly.

"There's no music," Hermione said, the logical part of her kicking in. 'Shut up brain' Hermione scolded herself. 'You should have said yes.'

"That's never been a problem before," Fred grinned. She set down the flowers and her wand and took his hand. He held her closely to him and they danced in the silence for a few moments. As they were dancing he started singing to her.

"Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
I saw the writing on the wall
As I felt this magical
Fantasy
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
But I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you"

"Is that good dancing music?" he whispered into her ear.

She shivered as his breath tickled her ear. "Hermione, will you be my girlfriend?"

She kissed him in response. When they finally came up for air, he said, "I take that as a yes." They both laughed and kissed some more.

"Holy shit, what time is it?" Fred asked after about 20 minutes.

"I have no idea, probably around midnight," Hermione said.

"That's what I thought," Fred said. "We have to get out of here."

"Why?" Hermione asked.

"Because if we don't move, then an Astronomy class is going to come walk in on us," Fred said a bit urgently. "Does that sound like fun to you?"

"There's an Astronomy class on the first day back from Christmas?" Hermione wondered aloud as she grabbed her flowers. He made all of the candles disappear with a wave of his wand. He grabbed her hand and half walked, half ran out of the tower. "Where are we going?" Hermione said to him as he led her around the castle.

"You ask too many questions," Fred replied and appeared to have no inclination to tell her where they were going. They eventually wound up on the fourth floor in an alcove behind a statue that Hermione had no idea even existed.

"So, where were we?" Fred asked.

"I believe right about here," Hermione said and kissed him gently on the lips.

"I think you're right," Fred mumbled in between kisses.

A/N: Yay for fluff! Sorry, I just had to write a chapter like this. I always thought it would be so romantic to be serenaded and all of my characters eventually are. But my ex boyfriend sang to me a few times and every time he did it, it was really weird and kind of awkward. Oh well. I also realize that I completely butchered the song, which should be a crime, but I couldn't have him singing her parts or the duet parts. Sorry about that. Hope you enjoyed and please review! I've been suffering from a bout with writer's block, so sorry it took so long to get this chapter.
