A/N: I'm sooo sorry about my lack of updating. My mum hasn't been bringing her laptop home. And school started on Monday, so I haven't had much time anyways. But here I am now. Along with a chapter. Yay! This is me :(. I am upset because I don't own Harry Potter.

I don't know what color Fred's eyes are, so I just guessed blue. Sorry if I'm wrong!

Hermione searched through her clothes for something to wear, glancing at the clock occasionally. 'Why am I so nervous? It's not like he came right out and said it was a date. Maybe we're just hanging out as friends?' she thought as she decided on an outfit. 'I don't even know if we're staying at the Three Broomsticks or going somewhere else!' she applied a bit of make-up and cast a glamour charm on her hair, taming it a bit.

She was about to leave when she realized she had to let someone know where she was going. "Ginny!" Hermione called as she ran outside to the quidditch field.

The red-haired girl signaled for a time out and flew down to meet her friend. "What do you need, Hermione?" she asked as the boys landed behind her.

Hermione pulled Ginny away from the guys, so they were out of earshot. She didn't even noticed George apparate away. "I'm going to meet Fred at the Three Broomsticks," she explained, "so could you please tell your mum an excuse if she starts asking questions?"

Ginny was the master of excuses. The Weasley nodded, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Going on a date with my brother, are we?" Ginny teased.

Hermione shrugged. "I don't know. He didn't really specify." Was there a hint of disappointment in her voice? If there was, it was gone quickly. "Bugger! I'm going to be late! Bye, Gin!"

With that she apparated to Hogsmeade and entered the pug she was to meet Fred in.

As George watched the beginning of the conversation between his sister and Hermione, he backed away from the group and apparated with a -pop- to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, just in time to catch his brother before he left.

"So everything's going as planned?" George questioned his twin.

"Yep. I'm just going to meet Hermione now. She's going to be so surprised. And happy." Fred thought about the brown-haired girl who had come to occupy his mind so much. He was glad he got to be the one to do this for her.

George looked at his brother, noticing him gazing off. He knew what he was thinking about. Fred really cared for Hermione. "Blimey, Fred! You better get going! You're going to be late."

"Right. See you later. Bye!" Fred waved as he walked out of his flat and apparated to the Three Broomsticks and walked in.

Hermione looked around the crowd, searching for the familiar red hair. She spotted him sitting at a table in the back. As soon as she saw him, he looked up. They stayed like that for about a minute, her standing halfway across the room, him sitting a table, just staring into each others eyes. Chocolate brown meeting a deep blue.

Hermione eventually snapped back to herself and walked over to his table. "Hi Fred," she managed.

Fred stood as she walked over. "Hey, Hermione," he replied, hugging her. "How are you?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Just been a bit bored at the Burrow, you know? Not a lot to do really," she said.

"Ah. Well, I think I have something that could maybe cheer you up a bit." She looked confused as he beamed. "Come with me."

He led her over to the side of the busy pub, passing many witches and wizards who had stopped in for an after work drink, and some who were just flat out drunk. They stopped at a door. She looked at him, still not sure what they were doing. "Open it," he whispered, though there was clear excitement in his voice.

Hermione's hand reached the knob and turned it. She swung open the door, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes grew wide, and then filled with tears as she ran inside. "Mum! Dad!" she cried, running to her parents and hugging them both at the same time. She gripped them tightly as she sobbed, not thinking about letting go. She didn't want to lose them again.

Fred stood in the doorway watching this all take place. He couldn't even imagine how Hermione was feeling right now. He slowly turned away and walked out. They needed to be alone.

"Fred?" he heard a muffled voice sniff behind him. He turned around to face Hermione. "Thanks."

He smiled at the girl. "It was no problem, Mione. Now go catch up with your parents." He smiled at her again as she nodded and turned her attention back to her mother and father.

"Mum, Hermione told me to tell you that she…" Ginny began, but her mother held up a hand.

"Don't worry Ginny. I know where Hermione is. No need to make up excuses."

"You know where she is?" the girl questioned. "And you're okay with it?"

Mrs. Weasley nodded, as if it were obvious. "Of course I am! They haven't seen each other in ages! They deserve to see each other!" Her mother exclaimed.

"What are you talking about? They haven't seen each other in a week, tops!" Ginny said, looking confused.

"Ginny dear, I believe you have been misinformed about something. Hermione hasn't seen her parents since before they went missing."

Ginny's eyes bugged out. "Her parents! But I thought she was meeting…," she caught herself in time.

"Thought she was meeting who?"

"No one, just a friend from school," Ginny said as she climbed the stairs to her room.

Hermione sat down on one of the bed's in the room. "I can't believe you guys are here! You're really here! But what happened, where were you?" Hermione started asking many questions.

"Hermione, dear, please slow down," her mother said gently.

"Sorry, Mum, I'm just excited is all."

"We know, so are we," her father said. "But let's start at the beginning, shall we?" His daughter nodded. "Okay, then. Well, it began a few nights before your last day of school before summer holiday. Your mother and I were lying in bed, sleeping, when we heard a few loud popping noises and a rather large crash. I got up to investigate, and suddenly found myself stunned. I couldn't move at all. I tried to call for your mother, but I was able to see that she too had been stunned. There were about five people in masks, all wearing dark cloaks."

'Deatheaters' Hermione thought to herself.

"I don't remember much after that. We were knocked out. I remember occasionally waking up in a dark dungeon, feeling as though something was poking through my mind, and I had various memories pop randomly into my head, mostly of you growing up." Hermione knew her father was describing Voldemort using legimency on him.

"And with you mum? It was the same?" Hermione questioned.

"Yes, exactly as your father described it."

Before Hermione could say another thing, the door opened. Dumbledore walked into the room, with Snape following behind him. "Hello Miss Granger, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger as well," Dumbledore said.

"Hi Professors. What are you doing here?" Hermione hoped it wasn't bad news they were bringing.

"I am here to inform you that now that Severus has successfully gotten your parents back from were Voldemort was keeping them, they will unfortunately have to go into hiding until the Deatheaters' search for them dies down," the headmaster of Hogwarts explained.

"What? No! They just got back!" Hermione yelled.

"Miss Granger, I assure you, it is for the best. You will still be able to keep correspondence with them. You can give letters to me or Severus, and we will be sure to pass them on to your mother and father."

Hermione looked reluctant to agree. She wanted to spend time with her parents. "If you don't mind me asking professor, why did Voldemort want them in the first place?"

"Well, Hermione, I believe that he was looking for information about you or Harry by using his skills as a legimens. Fortunately, we don't think has found any useful facts." Hermione looked at least a little bit relieved at this news. "Now, I can give you about an hour more with your parents, but then I must take them to their safe house." With that, Dumbledore walked out the door.

Snape made to follow but was stopped by a hand on his arm. He looked down and saw the brown-haired girl looking up at him. "Thank you so much, professor," after she said this, he turned and went to find Dumbledore.
