"Hiding Fred?" Hermione asked, smiling. Fred turned around grinning.
"Mum can be really frightening sometimes." Fred replied gesturing for her to sit down next to him.
"Yeah, I know." Hermione mumbled.
It was then that Hermione realized where they were sitting. They were sitting right in front of a sunset.
"How romantic," Hermione thought.
"What was that?" Fred asked, confused, "romantic?"
"Oh Merlin! I can't believe I said that!" Hermione cried burying her head in her hands.
Fred started laughing and pulled Hermione's hands away from her face. Hermione looked up into Fred's face and saw the same dark eyes she had seen earlier that day. Somehow she understood why they were dark. They were full of lust and want. She sat there hypnotized as Fred held her hands.
He leaned forward a few centimeters, unsure of what he was doing. Hermione understood completely. She filled the gap between them. She caught his lips in a soft kiss. They broke apart after a few minutes.
"Hermione," Fred said shyly, "I really like you. I may even love you. Will you go out with me?" Fred nearly shut his eyes, afraid of what her answer would be.
"Of course I will," Hermione sighed, "I feel the same way about you. I am just relieved that you mentioned it first. I was too scared to tell you." Hermione started laughing, but noticed that Fred wasn't laughing with her.
"Fred is everything-" Hermione began to say, as Fred caught her lips in a more passionate kiss. She leaned into him and wrapped her arms around his neck as Fred placed his hands on her hips.
After a while Hermione pushed Fred onto his back, not breaking their kiss. She took her hands from around his neck and slid them down his chest. She brought her hands towards the first button and started to undo it.
Fred realized what she was doing. He broke the kiss and grabbed her hands.
"We should stop." Fred said breathlessly.
"Too fast?" Hermione asked knowingly.
Fred nodded regretfully. He wrapped his arms around her.
"Saturday night?" Fred asked.
"Saturday night." Hermione nodded.
They lay there cuddling until the sun went down. They both came back in the house at separate times so as not to attract too much attention.
