Now was my chance. I could wake up, kiss the girl of my dreams, and tell my family that I didn't die.
I focused harder than I'd ever focused in my life. I tried to move my finger. Nothing. Maybe that's a little too much. I thought. I tried to take a deep breath. Nope. One last try. I tried to open my eyes.
"Oh my God!!!" Hermione yelled. "Is anyone there? Can anyone hear me? Fred is alive. I was right. Fred!!!"
"M-m-mione…" I mumbled.
"Fred!!! Can you hear me? Wait, I'm supposed to go get George."
"W-wait. Don't g-go y-yet."
"Ok. I'm here Fred." She grabbed my hand and held on tightly.
I laced my fingers around hers. This was the feeling I was always dreaming about. "Mione, I… I heard the whole thing." She tensed up. "Don't worry. I feel the same way. Mione, I think I love you."
"Did-Did you feel my kiss?" She stuttered.
"Yes Mione. It kept me going." I tried to sit up.
"Then would you mind if I kissed you again to know how it feels to have you kiss me back?"
"It'd be lovely Mione. Just be careful. I'm in a...a lot of p-pain still. I did just wake up after being presumably dead."
She gently lifted my head up and bent down until our lips touched. Her lips were warm, and gentle. She grabbed my head and tangled her fingers in my hair. This was the best kiss I'd ever had. It was everything I imagined and more.
She pulled away, her hands still entangled in my hair, her nose almost touching mine, her brown eyes shining happily. "I'm so glad you're ok, not to mention that kiss. Now I need to go get George. I promised him."
"Can you, apparate me back with you? I would like to be there to surprise my twin."
"Are you sure you're ok enough to do that, Fred? You're in pain, clearly, and you can barely sit up."
"I need to be there Mione. If I physically could've cried while everyone said goodbye to me for what they thought was the last time, I would've been bawling like a blubbering idiot. You need to let me do this."
"Alright fine, but I swear if anything happens to you, I'll kill you." She grabbed me tight in a warm embrace and apparated back to the flat. She helped me hobble over to the couch and laid me down.
"Mione, couldn't you have apparated me into his room?"
"Believe me, I know what I'm doing." She kissed my head as she walked towards his room.
I heard her knock on the door, before it opened. "HERMIONE!?! Did he wake up?" I heard my twin tell from down the hall.
"Listen, George, I don't know how to tell you this, but…" I heard her stop as I looked up to see my twin standing in the hallway.
"Gred? Is that you?" George asked calmly.
"Yeah Forge. It's me. I'm right here. I was there the whole time. I love you George." I said. He ran over to me and wrapped me tightly in his arms.
"I don't know what I would've done without you. Mione, do you want to go get the rest of the family?"
"Sure George. No problem. I will leave you with your twin." She turned to look me in the eye. "I'll be back shortly," she said as she winked at me and aparated out.
A few moments later, I was surrounded by all my happy family smothering me in hugs and kisses and joy and laughter.
"Frederick Gideon Weasley, how dare you scare me like that?" Mum piped up after smothering me in kisses.
"As weird as this sounds, I missed that nagging voice." I chuckled.
"Oh my God Fred. I'm so glad you're alive!" Ginny yelled.
"Bloody hell mate! We all thought you were a goner." Ron piped up.
Percy looked at me. "Did you hear what I said?" He looked as though he were about to cry.
"Yeah Perc. I did. You don't need to be sorry, I'm just glad to have you back in the family. I love you, mate."
Hermione looked at me. "Fred, can you walk?" she asked.
"IDK but I feel a lot better." I sat up. Ok Fred. You can do this. Walk. I thought.
I stood up and started to walk. Everyone clapped.
"So now that we know you can walk, is it alright with everyone if I steal Fred for a few minutes? I need to talk to him about some things." Hermione said.
"No offense, but I don't really care if you guys are okay with me going with Mione for a couple minutes. She and I really do need to talk." I said to everyone. They all laughed and motioned for me to go with her.
Hermione and I walked down the hall to my room. She opened the door and immediately walked in and sat on my bed.
"So what did you want to talk about? Also, do you know how incredibly adorable you look when all you want to do is kiss me?" I closed the door and walked over next to her.
"Fred Weasley, how dare you assume what I want to do with my time? I did not want to kiss you. I just wmhmhmhm….." her voice trailed off.
"What was that?" I laughed as she blushed. She was so cute when she was embarrassed.
"Anyways, I wanted to talk about us. Do you actually like me? I mean you kissed me, but George said you've liked me since my fourth year?"
"You weren't supposed to change the subject Mione." I sat down next to her and grabbed her hand. "George wasn't lying when he said that. I have liked you since I tried to put my name in the Goblet. You were right. It didn't work. Mione, I want to be with you. I've wanted to be with you for a long time."
"Fred," she said. She grabbed my face with her free hand and slid it into my hair. She pulled my face right up next to hers. She gently kissed me on the nose. "I have liked you since I first saw you that day on platform 9 . I would love to be yours.
With that, I pulled her closer to me and kissed her. This was even better than our first real kiss. I had full mobility now, and she was more aggressive while still remaining very passionate.
She pulled back. "We should probably go back out there, so George doesn't think we're having sex. You know your twin."
I couldn't help but laugh. "Well, we could make George's assumptions be a reality."
"Absolutely not. We haven't even been a thing for more than a minute, nevermind on a real date, and you're suggesting sex?"
"Mione, have I ever told you how adorable you are when you get angry? It was a joke, and you're right. We should go back, but I wouldn't mind staying here forever with you. How about tonight?"
"Tonight? You want to have sex tonight? Fred, I already said that's not happening."
"No no no no no. I didn't mean sex, although…"
"NO!" She interrupted sternly.
"I was kidding. Anyways, I meant how about I take you out tonight. You don't need to get fancy, just come in your normal clothes and be here at 8."
"That sounds wonderful. Are you sure you're up for it? And where are you planning on taking me?"
"That's a surprise. Just be here at 8 and I'll handle the rest. Now let's go back before my family starts to wonder about us."
We left my room, and re-entered the living room where all my family had been sitting around talking, only now, we were holding hands.
Here's chapter 3, hope you like it! At least one more chapter should be published by tomorrow. Please let me know what you think and give me suggestions. I would also like to know where you think Fred should take Hermione on their first date.
