Sorry it's taken soo long to update! Just haven't been able to find the motivation to continue with this story. It finally has a title, yayy! Thoughts?

Anyway on with the story…

"So Mia, you missed me?" Justin asked, pinching her side as he kissed her on the head. "Course I have" she replied quietly, her face flushing red, as she spotted Fred sending her questioning looks out of the corner of her eye. She knew she would have to explain everything to Fred later on, but she hoped she'd avoid it for now.

It was then one of the girls stood up on the chair, tapping her glass, "I'd like to propose a toast" everyone murmured in confusion, wondering what the special occasion was "to friends, shall we not forget each other in our year apart, and remember this day until we have another" she concluded grinning, as the others all shouted "hear hear" in agreement with the toast.

After three hours the friends decided to part ways, as they all hugged Hermione and said goodbye for the next year, Fred watched her curiously, and watched her 'boyfriend' even closer. He'd never even considered her having a boyfriend, what time did a bookworm have for a relationship? As they embraced each other tightly and their lips met, Fred smirked, thinking of everyone's reactions if they knew little goody two shoes was sucking face in the middle of a busy London street. He grinned as she finally came up for air, and headed back over towards him to head back home.

"Sorry about all that Fred, I hope it wasn't too boring for you" she murmured breathlessly, with her face flushed, waving goodbye to her friends as she headed back to the magical community.

"Nah it's fine Mione, I had a good time, very , shall we say interesting?" he said with a wink, and at his subtle hint she felt her face burning, she was sure she looked just like a fire truck.

"Do you mind if we stop in at Diagon Alley on the way home? I wanted to have a quick look in Flourish and Blotts for a new runes book." She asked him, her words running together as she nervously questioned him.

"Course Mione" he laughed, "do you really think I'm in a hurry to get home? Ron's driving me barmy." He whined, as Hermione laughed, leaning on his arm as they waited to cross the road.

"Thanks for coming with me today Fred" she whispered with a smile, "I had a really good day."

"Anytime Mione" he responded, smiling as well, as they came to the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron. "After you milady" he said as he opened the door for her, bowing as she passed. She giggled as she skipped past him into the dark pub, waving happily at the bartender Tom.

"Afternoon Miss Granger" he welcomed her, "can I get anything for you this afternoon lass?" he questioned "no thankyou Tom" she replied smiling, "just passing through".

Tom waved as Fred came through stumbling to keep up with Hermione, "afternoon to you too Weasley" he said with a nod of his head, lifting the bottle in his hand as he waved. "Hey Tom, mind if we use the floo when we come back through?" he asked. "Course lad, anytime" he replied coarsely, with a toothy grin. "Thanks" Fred grinned as he left through the back door of the pub.

As Fred used his wand to tap the brick wall, they grinned as Diagon Alley appeared before them, with witches and wizards of all sorts hurried about, trying to finish their shopping before it got too late. Fred laughed as Hermione pulled him forward toward the bookstore, shaking his head he followed her. Being behind her he realised she had grown up lately, appreciating her long legs, and fit body, he had to remind himself who he was looking at 'she's one of Ron and Ginny's best friends, you can't look at her, besides she has a boyfriend. But she's mature for her age, and she's actually pretty funny and easy to get along with, today's proved she's not a total nerd, but Ron's in love with her.' His internal debate continued, as he fretted over the not so innocent thoughts he was having about the young witch in front of him.

After an hour of waiting as Hermione scouted through the musty books, Fred was upset the day was coming to an end. "I've had a good day today, you aren't that bad after all Granger" he winked, nudging her playfully as they walked side by side down the cobbled street. "Thanks Fred, you aint half bad either" she joked as she grinned up at him, squinting as the sun got in her eyes.

The two wondered up the street slowly, taking in the sights of the new first years looking in shop windows, excited by the prospect of starting at Hogwarts, and the parents trying to hurry them along, not being able to dampen their spirits.

They opened the door to the Leaky Cauldron with a creak and headed over to the rusty fireplace, grabbing a small handful of floo powder each and waving farewell to Tom.

"Ladies first Granger" Fred winked, stepping aside as she moved forward, stepping into the grate nervously.

"The Burrow!" she yelled, throwing her floo powder into the fire, as it burned bright green, and enveloped her body, when they were gone, so was she, and Fred stepped into the grate, throwing his powder and speaking the same words, whizzing through the floo system after Hermione.

When she tumbled onto the rug at the Burrow, Hermione quickly stood up and brushed the ash and grime from her close, as she went to move away she felt a force from behind, and fell to the ground, as a weight pushed down on her.

"Sorry Mione!" Fred grumbled, as he jumped off her as quick as he could, helping her back to her feet. "Good end to a good day?" he asked with a smirk, as he ruffled her hair and flexed his muscles, they laughed together at what had just happened, collapsing back on to the floor together in a heap of giggles.
