A/N: Oh my little ones, looks like we've reached the end. I do love writing these fics. If anyone is interested in collaborating in a joint fic, feel free to email me or IM me on AIM. Until next fic, peace out girl scouts. (P.S I've got a Hermione/Ron fic in the works, and I may have another R rated fic coming soon...)

Chapter 10: Astronomy Tower Race

Disclaimer: I don't own the twins, or Hermione. Sorry to disappoint you.

Hermione took a deep breath and walked over to where Fred was sitting. She was glad it was a nice day, and a Saturday, so there was no one in the common room but them. She sat down on the floor next to him. He continued to look into the fire and made no move to acknowledge her.

"Fred?"

Nothing.

"Fred. I want to talk to you."

He narrowed his eyes a little, but didn't move otherwise. Hermione took this as a sign to continue.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything Fred. I was so fed up with you and your brother playing tricks on me, and I was so caught up in trying to get back at you, that I didn't think about how hurt you might get. And after I started, I began to realize my true feelings for you." She felt the tears pricking the corners of her eyes. "I really like you Fred." She started to cry.

Fred looked away from the fire and down at the girl sitting next to him. He couldn't help but realize how beautiful she was, and his heart pained to see her so sad. 'And it's all your fault...stupid git.' Fred got down on the floor and wrapped his arms around her. She leaned her head onto his shoulder and cried.

"Hermione..." He whispered. She lifted her head off his shoulder and looked into his eyes. "I'm the one that should be sorry. I didn't let you explain what happened. I know now that you really didn't intend to hurt me." He smiled at her. "And you should know that nothing went on between Parvati and I."

"Then you should know nothing went on between Seamus and I either."

He smiled. "I only have eyes for you, you know."

"That's good to know Mr. Weasley." She leaned in close to him. "Because I feel the same way about you."

"Well, Ms. Granger," He said leaning in closer to her. "I've missed you these past few days. Why don't we get reacquainted?"

Hermione smiled. "I'll race you to the astronomy tower..." She gave him a quick kiss, and ran off.

"Oh you little..." He got up and chased her out of the portrait hole, both of them laughing the whole way.

TFS - You know my plot was based on what you said, so really I owe most of this story to you. Feel special! I did pick Seamus over Neville cause I just like Seamus better. It's the Irishness I think. So you should definitely get me your screen name or something so we can talk more! Gives you a pancake.

Olivia Malfoy - Thanks for enjoying my story so much :)
