-A Walk in the Dark-
My heart was beating a mile a minute as he directed me towards Mrs. Weasley's beautiful garden, everyone else had gone inside, completely oblivious to what had happened between Fred and I only a few hours ago. He stopped at the edge of the garden and let out a sigh, running his hand through his red hair. For just a second I felt as though I saw something more than just Fred the jokester as he stood there searching for words that didn't seem to come. He looked dignified as he looked off towards the moon, and yet at the same time, worried, his eyes seemed gentle and caring as he finally turned and looked into my own eyes. He opened his mouth, sighed, then closed it again, his face turning red. Finally he sighed, and whispered.
"Hermione…" Touching my hand for a brief moment before continuing, "I…" He began, but then I interrupted.
"I'm sorry Fred. I didn't mean to walk in on you. It was a mistake. To be honest I'm completely embarrassed." Oh god Hermione, shut up! I thought to myself as I continued to ramble on hopelessly, "I should've knocked on the door, but I assumed that everybody was already out…"
"Hermione…" Fred asked, his evil grin returning to his face, Fred the jokester was back, "Just admit that you liked it" He laughed playfully and I grinned at him, shoving him slightly with my hand.
"You wish." I replied with a laugh. Then there was silence and I looked up at him, amazed to see that he was looking down at me with a serious look on his face. He sighed once more and whispered, "I do." and then without another word turned on his heels and walked back into the house, leaving me dumbfounded and stunned. What just happened? I asked myself. Was he serious? No…no he couldn't have been serious…why would he be?
But Still…what if he was?
I know this chapter is small and I'm sorry, but its one in the morning and I need to get some sleep. I promise the next chapter will be longer!
