Hey! The next chapter is here. Hope you like it and please please review! Thanks!

"FFFFFFFFFred!" Hermione whimpered.

"Yep that's me baby." Fred whipped around at the sound of his name. He looked more, well there was only one way Hermione could describe it, more handsome and even smart. His hair had been combed back and gelled, whilst something strange was going on with his clothes. He looked like a respectable person. Not like the trouble maker Hermione knew him to be. She scanned him from top to bottom from the shiny black shoes and trousers to the dazzling sparkling waist coat buttoned over his stripped shirt.

"How," Hermione gasped in awe. "What did you do?" She wouldn't have expected any of the Weaslys to wear clothes like this, least of all Fred. "Simple- we left school made a fortune on our joke shop, that's me and George by the way. Now I can finally give you the gift you deserve. I get the things I need for me and my family and you get what I have longed to give you forever and all because of Weaslys' Wizarding Wheezes." Fred sighed reminiscently. It made sense now to Hermione, of course. But the thing she still couldn't make out was why did he give her the bracelet. Fred seemed to read her mind, "Can't you see? I……… I………I….. um."

"What?" Hermione asked quizzically in the nicest way possible. She had never seen Fred so nervous, he always seemed confident and spoke his mind whoever he talked to.

"Um I just want to say I er, um I like you."

Hermione's mouth hung open.

What! Did he just say I like you? Never. He always kind of made fun of me. But Did he? Maybe he was doing it in a fun way. He has been quite kind to me in the past. He is kinda cute. I think he might have feeling for me. He did act a bit weird trying to flirt and things. Oh stop being silly he probably doesn't mean it like that. Or does he? She just stood there thinking until she remembered Fred was there. She tried to move her lips but her throught was dry and no words came out. Say something. Come on. Again she attempted and again she failed. Come on the quicker you say something the quicker you stop looking silly and the less chance Ron or Harry will see you and make fun of you. "Harry, Ron!" She gasped. Finally she spoke aloud, however this time she didn't mean to. "No I'm FRED F.R.E.D."

"Oh sorry I didn't mean to say that I thought I saw Ron and Harry." This was a lie. Harry and Ron had been fighting over her and she had thought she made up her mind. She liked Ron. She knew she did, but did she like Fred? She had already admitted to herself she liked him, and the bracelet. Fred must have spent a fortune and she didn't want him to waste all that money. On the other hand she didn't want to break Ron's heart. She came to a conclusion. She would go out with Ron. But seen as Fred got her the bracelet she would go out with him for a night. Just this one though.

Hermione noticed that Fred had out-stretched his arms, without thinking Hermione ran in to them. "Thanks for the bracelet, I love it." Fred took it from her hand and gently tied it round her wrist. It was if a huge weight had been lifted from the pit of her stomach. Every emotion she had felt over the last few days had lifted and was replaced by a different one happiness.

Hermione remembered she arranged to meet Ron later on that night and so she decided to rush and tell him she was sick and couldn't make it then went back to meet Fred in the entrance hall.

"So what's been happening at Hogwarts?" Asked Fred. Hermione was so pleased it felt so good to be able to have someone to talk to, it was like after not talking to two friends she had just made a million friends. They talked for hours and ended up outside next to the lake laughing and joking. It was the best thing that had happened to Hermione all week. All the school year infact. Hermione finally told someone about Hagrid leaving and about all the trouble with the Slytherines. There was just one fact she forgot to mention, Ron and Harry. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it, she had actually forgotten about the whole thing and that they existed. It just felt like they were the only two people alive. She was having the time of her life. It was as if he had rescued her from all her troubles that were eating away at here inside and had healed her. He was her hero.

"I came to show our new products to students and then I had the opportunity to talk to you," Fred told her when she asked how and why he came. "Of course I'll be staying for a few days so I can go around selling them."

Sunset soon came and the sky turned a magnificent red as the moons reflection glimmered on the lake. It was just past nine at 6th years could stay up till ten so they had plenty of time. Hermione and Fred huddled together as the night progressed and admired the beautiful sky and the grounds. "It's so beautiful," Remarked Hermione.

Fred Nodded, "I was just going to say that about you." Fred slowly leaned towards her. Hermione became tense. He was advancing closer and closer. He was a cm away from her lips now. Then Hermione lunged forwards and they kissed.

"I thought you were sick," a cold voice spoke from behind the trees. It was Ron.
