Hermione went up to her dormitory, changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed. She couldn't help but lay back and let the events of the afternoon wash over her. She couldn't help but think how Fred had been so sweet and polite to her. She gave a sigh of content and drifted off to sleep.
She was walking down the streets of Hogsmead with Fred. They were both laughing at a joke that Fred just said. As they walked further down the street, Fred reached out his hand at took hold of hers.
"I've been waiting to hold your hand in mine for so long" he whispered softly into her ear. "I just was never brave enough to do it."
Hermione blushed. "I never thought you felt this way. But I'm glad you do, because I feel the same way about you."
Fred smiled at her. He led her to a deserted corner of the street and faced her. "Hermione, I've liked you for the longest time."
"Me too, Fred" replied Hermione "But I never thought you would ever like me, considering I'm not one of prettiest girls in school."
"That's because you're not pretty… you're beautiful" said Fred. "Everything about you is perfect." He leaned forward and brought his lips to hers….
Hermione woke up with a smile on her face. She had had the most perfect dream in her entire life.
"Wait… did I just dream about Fred? Oh well, at least it was just a dream." she said to herself. She got up and got dressed and went down to breakfast.

Fred woke up feeling very happy. Why am I so happy today? He asked himself. He lay on his back trying to remember the details of his dream last night.
"All I remember was…" he spoke to himself softly, as to not wake up his sleeping dorm mates. " Hermione was in it, and we were back at Hogsmead and I held her hand and I told her she was beautiful and then I…." He sat bolt upright as if an electrical charge was sent through him. "And then I kissed her!" he yelled in spite of himself.
"Shhhh! Some of us are trying to sleep!" said George angrily. Lee grunted in approval.
Fred apologized and got dressed and went down to breakfast. As he made his way to the Gryffindor table and spotted Hermione sitting with Harry, Ron and Ginny (Lavender was sitting with Parvati). His heart did a back flip. Get a hold of yourself Fred! It was only a dream! Not like it meant anything, you're just being stupid. Go on, just sit down and have some breakfast. Fred heaved a great sigh and headed to where Harry and the others were sitting.
"Morning all!" Fred called to the others in his usual cheery voice.
"Morning Fred" said Harry, as Fred took up the empty seat beside him.
"Where's George?" Asked Ron as they all loaded food onto their plates and started eating.
"Still sleeping" Fred answered. He couldn't help but glance at Hermione, who smiled and looked down at her own plate.
Hermione thought to herself. What's the matter with you? It was only a dream… get real! As if he really feels that way about me.
"Hermione?" Ginny was waving her hand in front of Hermione's face "Are you ok?"
Hermione blinked. "Huh what? Oh Ginny… yeah, I'm fine. Just zoned out for a bit. Sorry." Ginny smiled.
"So, it's Sunday today. What do you guys want to do?" Ron asked, starting his second helping of eggs and sausages.
"I don't know." Said Harry. Just then, George arrived at the table and sat down beside Fred.
"Morning everyone"
"Morning George" everyone greeted. "Breakfast! Excellent!" said George and piled his plate with food and started eating. "By the way Fred, what were you yelling about this morning?"
"Nothing. Just something I remembered about a dream I had." Replied Fred, trying to sound casual.
"What was your dream about, Fred?" asked Ron, starting his third helping of sausages.
"About you dancing a jig wearing a sundress, trust me, you look better as a girl." Fred answered sarcastically. Everyone snorted into their pumpkin juice, but soon recovered and burst out laughing, including Ron.
"Nice one brother!" laughed George.
"Hey Ginny!" chocked Harry and grabbed Ron "It's the older sister you've always wanted!" Everyone laughed harder.
"Yeah Ginny!" laughed Hermione "You can do his hair now."
"And I can fix his make-up!" said Ginny with tears of laughter streaming down her eyes.
"But first we have to think of a new name for him." Interjected Fred, clutching his sides. At this, everyone started making suggestions.
"We can…ha ha… call him Ronalyn" Suggested Harry. Everyone agreed and laughed even harder. Fred stood up.
"Ok… I hereby christen thee…" he snorted, and conjured a pink bow with his wand and placed it on Ron's head "Ronalyn!" everyone laughed again and applauded sarcastically. They stopped a few minutes later when Professor McGonagall told them to be quiet or leave the table.
"Well, that was fun" said Ginny; everyone was wiping tears from their eyes.
"Shall we all go back to the common room?" said George, still having difficulty breathing.
"Sure." Said Harry, whose face was red from laughing so hard. And they all got up and made their way to the common room.
