Hermione stared at the envelope, frozen in shock. Her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were as wide as plates. She couldn't force herself to move. Then she heard someone calling her. "HERMIONE!!! HERMIONE!" Ron called from the doorway.

"YES, RON?!" Hermione called back, quickly getting out of her state of shock.

"COME HERE, LUV!" I wish he wouldn't call me that... Hermione ran over to Ron. Without saying anything, he handed her a handwritten poem:

The first thing I think of when I think of you, Is your wonderful smile , Second would be your adorable laugh , Third would be your cleverness , And there are more, But the list would go on forever

Love, Ronald W.

"Aww, Ron!" Hermione giggled. It was corny, but it was sweet. She loved it. The he intertwined his hand in hers and they walked off to Charms for a Saturday review. There was only acharms class today because the last class Flitwick was sick, but he said they didn't have to wear their robes. Harry caught up with them a few paces from the door. He noticed Ron and Hermione and gave Ron the thumbs up. Hermione deicded to ignore that. During Charms, they learned how to put someone to sleep. Hermione tried to talk to Ginny, but Ginny seemed to be preoccupied with someone else. She was staring ta the new hufflepuff boy 4th year, Justin. Wonder what's with her.... The bell rang, and, obviously, Hermione was the only person to make her partenr fall asleep. Hermione walked up to the Gryffindor common room to enjoy the rest of her Saturday. Walking up the stairs, she accidentally dropped her books, and when she sent down to get them, she tripped on a candy wrapper and went sprawling down the stairs. Before she hit the second step, however, Fred caught her.

"You O.K., Hermione?" Fred asked with genuine concern on his face. Since when has he cared about me...

"Ya, I'm fine, just a few bruises. Oh! You forgot your envelope!" Hermione suddenly remebered, handing him the envelope sh ehand in her pocket, pretending she hadn't read it.

"T-Thanks" Fred said, searching her face for any signs that she had read it. She kept her face blank, so Fred heaved a sigh of relief, shoved the envelope in his pocket, and walked her up to the common room. After a few minutes, Hermione sat down and started reading her book. Fred sat down beside her. The common room was empty, since every had decided to stay outside and watch a gobstones match.

"What are you reading, Hermione?" Fred asked.

" Vanity F-F-F-Fair" Hermione yawned. She leaned her head on his chest. Freds breathing got quicker.

"Why don't you go outside and watched the gobstones match?" Hermione asked. "

I hate gobstones." Fred lied. He just wanted an excuse to be with a few minutes, Hermione closed her eyes. Fred put an arm ove rher, and closed his eyes too. After a few minutes, George came barging in, telling him about some new passage he found.

" HEY, FRED, I FOUND A NEW SECRET PASSAGE BEHIND THE INSANE UNICORNS PORTRAIT! WANT TO CHECK IT OUT? UNLESS YOUR BUSY WITH SOEMTHING ELSE LIKE YOU KNOW... SHAGGING ANGIE?" George called form the doorway. Fred and Hermione quickly righted themselves.

"See you..." Fred mumbled. He walked over to the doorway.

"Ha, I saw you with Hermione... can't keep secrets from your twin, Fred! Now I know why you have been avoiding me lately..." George teased Fred.

"Shut UP." Fred grumbled.

"Sourpuss..." George muttered and they went off to find the secret passage. Poor Fred must have felt so awkward... but he was so warm... and his arms were so strong.. oh, no! I am not thinking this... I lo-- like Ron... I think... Hermione thought. It was around eight, so too ealry to go to bed. Hermione wnet downstairs to grab her book when Ginny came in.

"Hermione! There's a secret party in the Room of requirment! I have a dress for you come on!!" Ginny squealed, already in a pale blue dress.

"Er... Ok..." Hermione sighed. Ginny took her upstairs, gave her a a V-neck deep red dress with beads along the bottom. When they were done getting changed, they ran down the hall to the room of requirement. After a few mintues of pacing, the door finally opened and they walked into a giant room with gold and red banners, and tons of food. Justin came up and took Ginny away for a dance, so Hermione was left alone. A slow song came on, and Ron finally found Hermione and asked her to dance.

"Want to dance, Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Sure, Ron" Hermione replied. After a few dances, Fred came and tapped Ron on the shoulder. "Could I cut in?" Fred asked.

"Uh.... sure." Ron reluctantly replied. Fred grabbed Hermione and started swaying along to a slow song while Ron went to talk to Harry.

"Why did you want to dance, Fred?" Hermione inquired.

"Well... because... I really like you Hermione," Fred admitted. "Oh..." Hermione blushed. "Rons gonna kill me. Well, he's gona try, at least." Fred joked.

"Ya.. I like you too, Fred" Hermione mumbled.

"...That's good. I knew you couldn't resist my awesome charms." Fred beamed, and leaned down to kiss Hermione. Unfortunately, Ron noticed Fred and Hermione kissing, and balled up his hand into a fist to punch Fred in the back of the head.
