"I'm so hot," Ginny moaned in discomfort. It had been three days since Fred's embarrassing incident and he had gone back to his normal flirty self. He and Hermione were growing increasingly closer, each falling for each other a little more every time they spoke, which was often.

"Me too," Hermione agreed.

"Too the lake," Ron suggested

Everyone murmured in agreement, too hot to talk, and crawled to their bed rooms to get changed into their swimming costumes.

Ginny got dresses in her light blue bikini and Hermione in her brown bikini, which complemented her tan.

Once down at the lake nobody hesitated to get in, within minutes they were all playfully splashing each other, all so glad to be out of the heat. As the sun got stronger Hermione thought she better put on some sun block. She hopped out of the lake and walked over to her towel, book (which she brought to read if she got bored) and sun block. She applied it to her face and arms but then she had no one to put it on her back, she was about to call Ginny to do it for her when Fred got out of the water and walked over to his towel and dried his face.

"Where are you going?" Hermione asked.

"No Where, just drying my face," he said.

"But you'll just get wet again when you go back in – never mind, can you put sun block on my back?"

"Sure thing babe," he said taking the bottle from her hands and putting some lotion on her back.

Once he finished he turned her around by her shoulders so that they were facing each other, only centre meters away.

She looked up into his eyes, not knowing what to expect, not knowing why he had turned her around.

Hermione stepped forward so that she was pressed against Fred's chest and she could feel his heart beating.

Fred lowered his mouth slowly, maintaining eye contact with her. When his mouth was millimeters away from hers Hermione closed her eyes. She could feel his hot breath on her face. His lips touched hers but broke away milliseconds after they were touching.

Fred had looked up because there was a large amount of screaming coming from the lake. When he realized it was just Ginny screaming because Harry and Ron had picked her up and were carrying her around on their shoulders he was pissed off. They had shattered the moment he had been waiting for so desperately since he saw Hermione in a towel. Hermione opened her eyes to see Fred's eyes full of lust, but it flickered away and a new emotion appeared, awkwardness. Hermione cleared her throat and turned around to face the lake.

"Um … I'm going back into the lake," Fred said to the back of her head."

"Alright," I'm going to sun bake for a while," she said, while lying down on her towel, shutting her eyes.

Wow, that was weird, she thought. She didn't think Fred thought of her that way, sure he is a constant flirt but she thought he was only flirting with her because she's the only girl in the house he's not related to.

Fred dived under the water, staying under for as long as possible. The cool water was rushing all over his aroused skin. That was bad, he thought. They were so close to kissing and stupid Harry, Ginny and Ron ruined everything. Oh well, he'd get a second chance, he have to, he'd make sure of it.

5 hours later they were all pink from so much sun exposure and most were ready to go back. Hermione however was up to a good place in her book and decided to stay.

"But you'll burn, Hermione," Ginny said.

"I'll put a shirt on," she said, pulling a pink t-shirt on as she said it.

Fred also stayed behind, so Hermione wouldn't be out all by herself.

He lay down on the towel next to her and watched her read her book.

"What?" Hermione curiously asked, not looking up from her book.

"What do you mean what?" Fred asked, still looking at her.

"Why are you looking at me," she laughed.

"Because you beautiful."

Hermione looked up from her book in amazement. Did Fred Weasley just call her beautiful?

"Do you want to go for another swim?" he asked changing the topic, he all of a sudden felt shy, now that he and Hermione were alone together.

"Sure," she said getting up and running into the water. This time it was much colder.

She shivered as the water crept higher on her body as she walked deeper into the lake.

Fred smiled and puller her to him. He hugged her from behind, covering her shoulders with the warmth of his body.

Hermione smiled and continued walking. Then, with out warning Fred pushed her under water. When she re-surfaced she was shivering.

"I hate you Fred Weasley," she said, shivering

"You love me," he replied.

Then she hugged him really tight, so that he was covered in her cold wetness.

"AHHH, it's cold," he half screamed.

"You're telling me," she said laughing.

Then she looked up into his eyes. He looked so hot staring down at her, eyes full of lust, or was it love?

Then without thinking she kissed him.

At first he was shocked but then his male instincts took over and he turned his head to kiss her deeper. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip and she granted him access. They kissed, just standing their in the middle of the lake, for what must have been an hour, just kissing, neither getting bored of the others tongue.

The kiss was turning a more passionate turn when Fred decided to go further, he slipped his hands under the bottom of Hermione's top and lifted it over her shoulders, now she was only in her bikini.

Hermione hugged Fred tighter and dug her nails into his chest, Fred moaned with pleasure. Hermione moved her hands down to Fred's waistline of his pants, and then hesitated.

"What's the matter babe," Fred asked her.

"Um … I'm not sure I want to do this yet," she said, referring, obviously, to going further than just kissing.

She felt bad because she thought Fred, being older than her, might be used to that sort of attention from his girlfriends, not that she was his girlfriend, they were just innocently kissing, now she felt stupid for saying anything so she looked down at her feat.

"Hey," he said laughing and lifting her shin up so that he could kiss her gently, "we won't do anything you don't want us to do."

Hermione hugged him and said "Good, can we go back I'm getting cold."

"Of course, madam," he said lifting her up so that he could carry her out of the lake.

They laughed all the way to their stuff and then Fred put her down on her towel and kissed her, again, gently, and turned to gather his stuff while Hermione did the same.
