DISCLAIMER: J.K Rowling owns Harry Potter, not me. I was merely having fun creating a plot!

Also, I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I've been preoccupied with school and other things, but here we go. I'm not very happy with this chapter, but at least I've put something out.

Hermione stared out the window of her dormitory, fiddling with the button on her coat as she admired the scene. It was dark outside, the sky was clear of clouds and filled with lots of twinkling stars and the moon was glowing brightly. She glanced over at the clock hanging on the wall over her bed, and the butterflies seemed to increase as she read what it said. 6.50pm. 10 minutes left. 10 minutes until her date with Fred.

Hermione stepped away from the window and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She had tried her hardest to dress nicely, still keeping in mind what Fred had said. "Dress warm." She had settled with a pair of jeans and her knee high brown boots, a white knitted sweater under a long black coat, and a plain grey scarf. She sighed, thinking she looked too ordinary. He won't mind, will he? She thought to herself, biting her lip slightly. "Relax, Hermione!" She said to her reflection. "Everything's going to be fine." She took a deep breath and turned to head for the door, making her way down to the common room a little earlier than she needed to be.

When Hermione made it into the common room, she saw Fred already down there, leaning against the armrest of the sofa opposite the fireplace, his arms folded across his chest and smirking at her. "Couldn't wait another 10 minutes to see me, could you?" he said with a wink. Hermione blushed. Fred laughed and walked towards her, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her on the forehead. "You ready?" He asked, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Of course." Hermione replied, smiling back at him. Fred held out his hand and Hermione took it, intertwining their fingers as he led the two of them out of the common room.

"Where are we going?" Hermione asked impatiently as they walked down the stairs, passing the second floor. Fred laughed at the tone in her voice. "Stop whining, we'll be there soon." She sighed, but continued walking. They made it down the rest of the stairs and were crossing the entrance courtyard when they ran into George.

"Evening, you two." He said with a wink. Fred laughed and put a hand to his twin's shoulder. "Everything sorted, George?" George nodded, smiling. "It's all set. You two have a good night." He said as he turned to walk in the opposite direction. Hermione looked up at Fred, confused. "What was that all about?" She asked. Fred gently placed his hand on her cheek, caressing her. "Don't worry your pretty little head about it, love." He said before leaning down and pressing a quick kiss against her lips. Hermione blushed, and Fred laughed. "Am I making you nervous?" He asked, stepping back and crossing his arms over his chest. Hermione laughed, too. "Of course not. Let's go." She placed her hand in Fred's and he continued leading her to their destination.

They headed down the long flight of stairs which lead them to the boat house, and Hermione gasped. There was a boat sitting in the lake, with soft cushions on the seats and candles all around it. "Oh Fred," she said, completely lost for words. "I love it." Fred smiled and stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I thought you might." He said as he kissed her neck. He then spun her around so she was facing him and leaned into her, kissing her passionately.

They remained like this for another minute before Fred broke the kiss, making Hermione whine. "Hey, there's plenty more where that came from," Fred said, laughing. "But how about we get started with this little date?" Hermione smiled and nodded, as he led her over to the boat, helping her in then taking a seat next to her. "Are we allowed to be out in this?" She asked, concerned. Fred smiled. "Let's not ask questions, love. Just go with it." Hermione laughed and got herself comfortable as Fred untied the boat, and they started slowly drifting across the still, black lake.

Fred wrapped his arm around Hermione, kissing the top of her head. She looked over at him and smiled, blushing slightly. "This is amazing, Fred. Really." Fred smiled back at her. "I'm glad you like it." He leaned over and placed a quick kiss on her lips. He then pulled away and leaned back, looking up at the stars. Hermione did the same, resting her head on his chest as he wrapped one arm around her, the other arm behind his head.

They lay in silence for a bit, however it wasn't an awkward silence. They were enjoying each other's company, enjoying being snuggled up to each other. After a while, Hermione spoke up, breaking the silence. "Fred?" she asked, lifting her head so she was looking at him. "Hmm?" he responded, glancing over at her. "What was George talking about? When he said it was all set?" Fred smirked. "You'll just have to wait and see, won't you, love?" He looked down at his watch briefly, then looked back at Hermione. "You should find out any minute now." Hermione looked at him suspiciously before resting her head back on his chest.

About a minute later, Hermione's head shot back up at the sound of a loud bang. Different coloured sparks were filling the sky, and she looked on in amazement. It was a beautiful fireworks display. Fred sat up and wrapped his arms tightly around her, smiling. "Fred! It's beautiful!" Hermione exclaimed. The fireworks were making all sorts of different shapes in the sky, some even spiralling down into the water. The reflection in the lake was amazing, and it was sad to see it come to an end.

"I can't believe you did this for me, Fred." Hermione said, sitting herself in his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. "That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." Fred lifted his hand to her face and gently brushed her hair behind her ear, before leaning in and kissing her passionately. Hermione smiled into the kiss. This kiss was not like any other kiss they had shared, this one had more emotion, more passion. Fred slid his tongue along her lower lip and Hermione responded almost immediately, allowed his tongue to enter. Their tongues danced together gracefully for a while until Fred finally broke the kiss, leaning his forehead against hers and breathing heavily.

Hermione smiled at Fred and hugged him tightly. "We should head back." She said softly. "Mmm." Fred responded, clearly not wanting to leave, but he flicked his wand and the boat drifted back to the boat house and they were back in a matter of seconds. Fred quickly jumped out of the boat first, then held out his hand to help Hermione out of it. He smiled as he started leading her back to the castle. Their date seemed to have gone pretty well.

They finally got back up to the common room and Fred walked Hermione right up to her dormitory. He pulled her into a tight hug. "I had fun, Fred. That was the best date I've ever been on." Hermione said, gazing into his eyes. Fred smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Me too. You're a really special girl, Hermione." She blushed again as Fred leaned in to give her another quick kiss on the lips. He pulled away for a second, and whispered softly. "I love you, Miss Granger." He pressed his lips back against hers, and she smiled. He loves me, she thought to herself. Fred Weasley loves me.

Fred broke away from the kiss once again and pulled her back in for one last hug, then he released her. "Goodnight, Hermione." he said as he turned to walk away, but Hermione quickly stopped him. "Fred?" He turned around, grinning at her. Hermione bit her lip. "I love you too."

A/N Sooo yeah, I personally don't think it's my best. But I had to put something out there, considering I haven't updated in soooo long. I'm sorry, I keep getting caught up with things. I'll try stay on top of this now. I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review, they really make my day 3
