Should probably have warned you in the first chapter but I forgot so I´m doing it now. I have writing disabilities (dyslexia) and grammar and spelling is really hard for me. My grandmother always says that I´m "word blind" and that's true, I can't see if a word is spelt right or if the grammar is correct. There for the spelling and grammar in my story isn't the best but I´m working on it. Thanks for your understanding.

This takes place the a half year before "Christmas confessions"

I don´t own Harry Potter

Hermione was running, Dumbledore's words were ringing in her ears: They're dead, they died in a car accident.

It had been a quiet day, it seemed like the school was breathing out after all the excitement yesterday. Hermione had been on her way to the Gryffindor tower when a scared first year student had left her a note from Dumbledore saying that he wished to meet her in his office. Hermione had quickly made her way to Dumbledore's office and to her big surprise had Mr. and Mrs. Weasley been there. They had sent her pitiful looks and Hermione had instantly knew that something badly had happened, Dumbledore's words had only confirmed her suspicions. Dumbledore had continued talking but Hermione wasn't listening, her parents were dead, she couldn't stand listening to what they would do with her, where she would live and who would be her guardian, hearing that would make all of this so much more real. So Hermione fled, she ran out from Dumbledore's office. She continued running till she could no longer run, and then she sunk down on the ground and cried.

Hermione didn't knew for how long she sat there before two arms pulled her in to a huge, she looked up and fund herself in Fred Weasley`s lap, George Weasley was gentle stroking her hair. The Twins didn't ask, they let her cry and when she fell asleep, Fred carried her back to her room. Hermione hadn't been expecting close to the Twins but that was the start to a new friendship. The twins never asked when she needed to cry or be alone, they never made her talk about it but they listened when she needed to tell them. Ron and Harry didn't understand why Hermione was crying so much and both of them were too scared to asked, they gladly let Fred and George comfort their friend.

A few years later Hermione had asked the twins how they found her and how they had known what had happened. George had been the first to answer the question. Apparently Mrs. Weasley had gathered her children and Harry and told them what had happened and that she expected all of them to help and support Hermione. George's next reply made Fred blush, Fred had been the one finding her because he had been watching Hermione the last months and knew nearly all of Hermione´s hidings. Hermione had laughed and kissed Fred on the nose, it was good to know that someone carried deeply for her. George had looked hurt, saying that he too had helped finding her so Hermione kissed his cheek, which led to the twin fighting over the "fair lady" and which of them who held her heart, it only stopped when George´s girlfriend Angelina stepped in to the room and asked what they were doing.

The twins became Hermione´s light in the darkness that seemed to surrounding her; she didn't know if she would have had the strength to go on if it weren't for them. The months that followed before the summer vacation was hard for Hermione, not only did she have to live and get over the fact that she had no parent, but she also had to make sure that Harry survived. It had been many late nights in the library looking for things that could help Harry in the last challenge.

The whole school was sitting outside as the third challenge started. Excitement was hanging in the air and the noise the students made when Harry and Cedric went inside the labyrinth was ear-piercing. Hermione was sitting between the Weasley twins, she hated seeing Harry leave to face the danger on his own.

"Hermione, calm down" Hermione looked up at Fred; he was holding her hand, stopping her from biting her nails of. The twins had been surprised that Hermione could tell the twins apart, something even their mum had problem with, but so far Hermione had never been wrong.

"What if something happen?" Hermione was trying hard not to cry, people had been killed before and she could not lose Harry.

"He´s the-boy-how-lived, of course he will survive!" George watched how his twin tried to calm Hermione, a girl the both of them grown very fond of during the last weeks. George saw her as a little sister but he was quite sure Fred saw her in a different way. Watching Hermione clinging on to Fred for support made George believe that Hermione was felling the same way, now he could only hope that the Fred had the guts to tell her.

Fred was bored, he had thought that the last challenge would be exciting, but it wasn't. They were all staring at the labyrinth, waiting for something to happen. The only upside about being out here was that he got to hold Hermione, the girl he since a few month back had a big crush on. He knew that he should tell her but he was afraid of her not feeling the same way and he would not risk their friendship. One hour past, and another, still nothing happened. Then suddenly a stem of light was shouting out from the labyrinth and the teachers rushed in coming out a minute later with Fleur, shortly after the same thing happened again and this time it was Krum how was carried out. Hermione was now crying softly in to Fred´s shoulder and he pulled her closer, whispering comforting words to her. The panic over the two champions how came out had laid down and once again the stadium was still. The next time something happened it all happened at the same time. Students were crying and screaming, Fred and George decided that the best thing was to wait it out. When things finally Started calming down a bit one hour later George, Fred and Hermione made their way towards the Gryffindor tower but was stopped halfway by Mrs. Weasley.

"I have been looking everywhere for the three of you!" Mrs. Weasley looked as if she had been crying and when she saw them she pulled all three of them in to a big huge.

"Mum, you're suffocation us" George said, Mrs. Weasley let go off them.

"Don't be silly Fred!"

"I´m George mum"

"Sorry dear, now you need to come with me" Mrs. Weasley stormed of in the direction of the hospital wing.

"Do you think Harry is okay?" Hermione looked worried

"Yes he is, but let's go and make sure mum doesn't suffocate him to" The twins grabbed Hermione and dragged her to the hospital wing, that night Fred realized that he wished to always be there for Hermione.

The last weeks of school flee by and soon they were back at the Borrow. Hermione was staying with them, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had been made Hermione´s guardians since she was under age. The first days back at the Borrow was hard for Hermione, she kept being reminded that her parents were died. But as the days past Hermione started smiling and laughing again. Hermione was sleeping in Ginny´s room and this meant that the girls spent many late nights talking.

"So what´s going on between you and Fred?" Hermione blushed; she really didn't like to talk about it.

"No…nothing!" The reply came to quick and Ginny eyed her suspiciously.

"Don't lie to me, I know they're something going on, I´m not blind!" It was clear that Ginny wasn't leaving the subject.

"I don't know, I think I like him" Hermione mumbled

"I knew it!" Ginny was jumping up and down of excitement.

"Ginny…" Hermione didn't knew how to continue the conversation, she wasn't used to "girl talk".

"Yes Hermione?" Ginny was smiling widely as if she just won on the lottery. Hermione was looking at the younger girl as if she had grown another head.

"Hermione this is perfect, I think he likes you to!"

"Why would he, he sees me like a little sister" Hermione looked down at her hands

"Then let´s make him change his mind!" Ginny was jumping again. "Mum is having a dinner to celebrate all the birthdays she missed will we were at school, let´s dress you up really fancy and show Fred what he is missing!" Ginny seemed to love the idea but Hermione wasn't too sure that it would work. But since she didn't had anything to lose she decided to go along with Ginny´s plan.

Fred couldn't believe his eyes, Hermione had never looked better. It was the Weasley´s yearly birthday celebration and Ginny and Hermione had been looked in at their room for hours and now they were standing in the kitchen talking to Mrs. Weasley. Hermione looked like an angel, George looked at his brother and laughed.

"Shut your mouth, you look stupid!" Fred did as he said but never took his eyes of Hermione.

George spent the dinner watching his brother watching Hermione, sometimes his twin really was a coward. Before anyone knew the dinner was over and Mrs. Weasley declared that it was time for bed. They slowly made their way inside

"Fred go talk to her!" Fred looked at him for the first time that night, he nodded.

Hermione was disappointed, the plan had obviously not worked. She was about to walk inside when she felt a hand on her arm.

"Hermione it is me"

"Fred?"

"Yes, can I talk to you?" Not waiting for an answer Fred dragged her towards the small pond. He pulled out a blanket from his jacked and gestured for Hermione to sit down on it. For a minute or to they just looked at each other, neither of them saying a word. It was a beautiful night and the stars were shining brightly on the sky but Fred didn't noticed, he was to busy looking at the beautiful girl in front of him.

"Hermione" Fred paused, he didn't knew what to say

"Yes?" She looked at him, waiting for an explanation to all of this.

"I… you…" He took a deep breath. "You really look beautiful tonight "Hermione blushed, why was I so hard to tell her that he liked her? "I really like you Hermione, not like a friend or a sister" He had said it, now he only had to wait for Hermione to say something. Hermione was shocked, she hadn't expect Fred to return her feelings.

"I like you to" Hermione blushed again, Maybe the blush would become permanent because of how many times she had blushed the last days. Fred was smiling wildly, he lend forward and captured Hermione´s lips in a soft kiss, at first she was to shocked to move but she soon responded to the kiss. They broke away for air and Fred pulled her closer.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" he looked her in the eyes, Hermione didn't respond she only lend forward and kissed him. "I take that as a yes" Fred said before he kissed her again. Hermione pulled away and suddenly she looked worried.

"What will the other think? They all expect me to be with Ron!" Hermione had panic in her voice.

"Hermione, they will accept it, they all loves you." He stroke he cheek "But if you like we could keep it a secret until you're ready to tell them!"

"Really?" Hermione smiled

"Really!" On one hand he would like to tell the word that this beautiful girl was his but on the other he wanted Hermione to feel comfortable with telling everybody and if that meant hiding their relationship for a will it was worth it.

They stayed by the pond, holding each other and enjoying the beautiful night for many hours. First when the sun rised did they move, they hurried up to the house to get a few hours of sleep before it was time for breakfast. They promised each other that they would meet by the pond next night to. Fred gave Hermione on last kiss before she slipped in to her and Ginny´s room, Fred looked at the closed door before he walked over to his own room. Fred sleep well the few hours he got, he was probably the happiest man alive.

This took a little more time than I expected it to do, sorry. I hope the length on the chapter is making up for the wait. This story is going to be many small stories about Fred and Hermione´s life together and if you have any suggestions or things you would like to happen just tell me, I would love to get some ideas.
