George looked at his brother and friend and laughed lightly the pair. Knowing them both as well as he did, he knew what was on their minds and couldn't help but to laugh a little. Still looking at the both he shook his head.

"No, I'm not the only one who's noticed," he said to them finally, after his laughter had finally come to a halt. "I overheard mum talking to Remus some time ago about the two of you. She asked if he thought there was something going on between you two and Remus told her he seriously doubted it because he was sure that you" he looked at Sarah "would have told Sirius if there was. Then later I overheard Remus questioning Sirius about it and he reassured Remus that there was nothing going on, but he thought that you two 'had the hots for each other I believe was his words. They agreed not to tell mum, afraid she go mental if they did. Though I doubt she would have."

"I'm pretty sure that Tonks, Bill, and Charlie noticed something," George said as he thought about what he had overheard them saying. "One night when you two were talking to mum, dad, and Sirius about something upstairs in the drawing room, I snuck downstairs and they were talking in the kitchen and I heard Bill telling Charlie that he thought there was some kind of attraction between the two of you. Tonks seemed a bit surprised by it, but after listening to them, she agreed. Charlie on the other was more curious about it than he was anything else. I'm pretty sure that Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny don't know, well Hermione imight she's very smart, but I know the others don't. I know Dumbledore knows; he knows everything. I think that's all that know, at least to my knowledge."

Sarah was stunned at George's words. So we were that obvious then to everyone else as well, she thought to herself. She looked at George dumbstruck, as he told how many had noticed what she and Fred had not. She couldn't believe she had been so oblivious to what was so clear to everyone else. Maybe it was because she had been too petrified to notice the truth right in front of her the whole time. She didn't feel as stupid as she first had when she saw that Fred was staring at his brother with the same stunned look that she was.

"Don't worry," said George when he saw how stunned they both were, wondering how oblivious they both could be sometimes. "Almost everyone will be happy for the two of you, when you do finally tell them that is." He looked at Sarah knowing she knew exactly whom he was referring to when he said 'almost everyone', her father.

"What do you mean by almost everyone?" Fred asked almost furiously to his brother, feeling a little defensive now. He knew that his parents would be okay with him seeing Sarah; they both loved her already. Ginny will be thrilled and so will the others. Sirius will be happy 'cause he wants Sarah to be happy, as does Remus, Tonks, Dumbledore, Moody, and Dung. So who wouldn't be happy about it? he thought to himself trying to figure it out, but got the answer before this thoughts were even close to being finished.

"My father," Fred heard coming from Sarah rather than his brother, whom he had been asking, and he turned to face her gawking at her. "You know how he feels about your family," she continued to explain and then saw sadness in his eyes as he remembered how much her father couldn't stand a "Weasley" and he suddenly felt ill and apparently looked it as well. "but don't worry I'm sure he'll be fine with us dating after I talk to him, when the time is right." She added it just after she saw the sadness in his eyes and the look on his face. She smiled at him lovingly hoping to ease some of his, what she thought to be, pain.

"If you're sure," Fred replied to her, still unsure that Severus would really 'approve' of him dating his daughter.

"I'm sure," she reassured him as she reached over and took a hold of one if his hands, entwining her fingers with his.

Fred smiled back at her as he lifted the hand that was holding and placed a gentle kiss on the top of hers. He never took his eyes off her, not even for a second. He was pleased to see her still smiling at him, her emerald green eyes gazing back at him.

"Okay, that's enough. We need some rules now if you two are going to start dating," George said quickly, looking somewhat uncomfortable at the pair in front of him. "First off, no mushy stuff when I'm around please. Second, no and I do mean NO making out anywhere near me or within seeing distance please, I'd rather not see my brother and best friend making out. Oh and if you two are going to be all lovey-dovey, please leave the room. Don't get me wrong, I, more than anyone, am delighted for you both, but I'd really rather not see it if you don't mind, especially when it makes me feel like a third wheel, okay?"

Fred and Sarah both couldn't help laughing at George's "rules" as he listed them off. "Don't worry bro I wasn't planning on making out with her publicly….yet," Fred said laughing as he looked at his brother adding the 'yet' to lighten him up a little. Though he was laughing, he was somewhat serious about agreeing to his brother's rules.

Sarah heard her watch making a beeping sound that sounded like an alarm. "Oh bloody hell! Guys I need to get back to work I'm late already the way it is," she said to them, suddenly not wanting to go back to work for the first time since becoming an Auror. She wanted to stay there, with Fred. She looked at him sadly, wishing she didn't have to leave so soon.

"Yes, we don't want you getting fired now do we?" Fred said with a sweet smile, knowing Sarah didn't want to leave as much as he didn't want her to leave. He thought about asking her to ditch work for the rest of the day and stay with him, but knew better than to even consider it.

"If you get fired you can always come and work here," George said with a smile. Then he glanced at his brother. "Then again if you did Fred might not get any work done at all." They all laughed at George's attempt in lighting the mood once again.

"Thanks guys," Sarah said. "George behave and don't pick on Fred to much now." She grinned at him, knowing he was going too give Fred a hard time after she left.

"I'll try not to," said George back to her, and then grinned at her. "I'm not making any promises though."

Sarah smiled weakly at Fred, not wanting to let go of his hand just yet. Why is it so suddenly difficult saying bye to Fred? she asked herself. "I'd better go now," she said to him sadly. "I'll see you tonight though."

"Yeah, we don't want you getting into any trouble for being late," he replied with a halfhearted smile, wanting to kick himself for being selfish and wanting her to stay with him instead of going back to work. His smile brightened slightly when she reminded him that they had a date later that evening. "Of course you will. I'll see you at seven." He lifted up her hand, giving it one last kiss, which made Sarah's heart skip a beat.

George had walked away, letting them say their goodbyes. Neither Sarah nor Fred had noticed he had even left. Sarah looked at Fred as he let go of her hand. She then turned and walked towards the door and after exiting the twins' shop, Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes (which hadn't been open very long since they hadn't quit school that long ago), she Apparated back to work at once.

Sarah had a time trying to concentrate on her work as she tried to look through some more of her paperwork that was covering the entire surface of her desk. She found herself daydreaming of Fred and their conversation back in the storeroom of Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes.

"We've been friends for a while now and you know me better than anyone, other than George of course. I can tell you anything and I know that and you know that. You're one of my best friends." He paused for a moment; he seemed to be rambling too much now and he was more than aware of it. He looked deep into her emerald green eyes. Get your head together and just say it…now or never, he told himself. "But I don't want to be just your friend anymore. I know you probably don't feel the same way, but I can't hide it anymore, it's killing me not to say how I really feel." He squeezed her hands gently as he waited terrified out of his mind that he had just ruined their friendship for good; regret started to fill his mind as looked at her wondering if he had just screwed everything up between them.

Sarah's eyes lit up at the words she'd wanted to hear for so long now. She couldn't believe it; it felt like a dream almost except she was full aware she was awake. She wasn't sure what to say back to him; words didn't seem enough. So she leaned into him slightly and kissed him gently on his lips, then pulled back to look him in his eyes. "You don't know how long I've wanted to hear you say that," she said smiling at him and giggling at the pure surprise on his face from her kiss.

Fred was extremely surprised by Sarah's kiss, but more so by her words. "You have?" he said with a look of shock now expanding through his eyes. "Why didn't you ever say anything?" He blinked at her.

"For the very same reason you didn't I suppose," Sarah said smiling at him. "I was afraid too; afraid you didn't feel that way about me."

"Bloody hell! Why would I not?" Fred replied looking deep into her eyes. "You're smart, sweet, kind, talented, strong," He began to laugh slightly trying to lighten the mood as he finished. "And you can handle putting up with me and George, not many can do that. Not to mention you call me on my crap" He pulled her closer to him, letting go of her hands, so that he could put his arms around her waist feeling the nerves working up again.

Then suddenly she was jerked back to reality when someone knocked on her office door. She shook her head and smiled, wanting badly to hex whomever had just interrupted her daydream.

"Sarah, are you there?" she heard Kingsley Shaklebolt's, another Auror that she knew, voice asks from outside the door.

"Come in Kingsley," she answered and waved her hand, causing her office door to swing open. Though her office was smaller than most, it still had enough room for a cherry desk, a black office chair, two black chairs in front of the desk and a trashcan beside her desk on her right, a planet in the corner that didn't much light at all, and on her desk sat 5 photo's in black frames. The picture on the far right was of her and her friend Ricky back when they graduated Hogwarts together. The one next to it was of her, her father, and her mother just after she was born. The one in the center (her favorite photograph of all) was of her mother and father on their wedding day. Her mom dressed in a beautiful antique long silk white wedding dress with a sheer veil bordered in sparkly diamonds on her head and her father in, what seemed to be, his best dress robes looking very dashing next to her mother. That photo she loved to look at often because of how happy and in love the pair seemed to be in the moving photo. The photo next to it was of her, the entire Weasley family, Remus hiding behind the others unless there was no one around that shouldn't see him in the photograph, Dumbledore standing tall on end of line to the left in the center row, and her father (unwilling) standing uncomfortable next to his daughter. The photo on the end was of her, Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill Weasley, standing hidden in the back was Alaster Moody (a well know Auror), Tonks, Sirius, Remus, and Dumbledore taken at Christmas this past year by her father, unwilling at first, before one of the Order's meetings.

Kingsley walked in and approached her desk. "I was going to ask you if something had happened on your lunch break since I was told you came back late and didn't seem quite yourself," he said to her getting right to the point. "I can tell you are fine, but something did happen, didn't it? Though I'm guessing it was something good and not bad at all as Mitch made it sound when I spoke to him after you got back."

Sarah smiled sweetly and twisted in her seat, out of nervousness more than anything else probably. She was suddenly blushing as she answered him. "Maybe something happened when I went to Fred and George's shop today," she replied with a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Do you care to tell me what happened or are you going to let it bug me to death with worry by not telling me?" he said back to her as he sat down in one of the Victorian antique black chairs that sat in front of her cherry desk.

"I'm going on a date tonight, but just don't tell my dad yet please," she said, almost pleading with him not to mention this information, she was telling him, to her father. She knew he was one of the Order members her father had asked to 'keep an eye on her' though he didn't know she knew.

"On a date? With who?" he asked surprised by her answer of what had happened to her. At least it was good news or he hoped that was good news.

"Yes on date," she said with a soft laugh. Then she sat straight up in her chair to look at him. "Is that so unbelievable that I would have date?"

"No it's not that," he replied, shaking his head slightly. "I just meant that I've never known you to go out on a date before. Who are going out with? You have to be careful who you go out with at times like this, especially with" he turned his tone into a whisper, incase anyone was listening at the door. "you-know-who being back and" he then went back to his normal voice, "Bellatrix being at large again"

She was touched by his concern for her and could help giving him a gently smile. "Kingsley, Kingsley, Kingsley," she said her gentle smile turning into a warm smile. "Don't you think I know that? Besides, it's with someone we know and that I trust a lot as do you I believe."

'we know' her words rang in his ears and he blinked. "Well, who is it?!" he asked trying to think of who it could possible be. There was only one person he could think of that he had ever notice her even look a bit attracted to and she had gone to the twins store for lunch.

She grinned and her eyes lit up when she spoke this time. "Fred," she said simple and found that she couldn't stop smiling again as she thought about Fred. Her feelings for him were written all over her face, that she was sure of.

Kingsley leaned back in his chair and chuckled. "Now that doesn't surprise me," he replied to her. "I've known for a while now that you fancied him. I guess it was only a matter of time."

"Yeah it seems a lot of people already knew," she stated remember back to what George had told her and Fred earlier.

"Well you do seem to light up when he walks in the same room as you," Kingsley responded as he thought back to whenever Fred and Sarah entered a room when the other one was already in there. "You both did that actually and it also explains why you don't wish for me to tell your father and I won't." He paused for a moment. "This is something you need to tell him yourself. Though he most likely already knows, there's something between you and Fred Weasley. I have heard others," he leaned towards the table and whispered, "in the Order," he then sat back as he finished his sentence, "talking about you and Fred, but no one could prove anything, and Sirius always assured everyone that you two were just friends. We all knew if there were something, he would know. You tell him everything and that's no secret at all."

"I do need to break it to my father gently," she said to him as she sighed, knowing that her father was not going to like what she had to say. "This is why I'm waiting, till after my date with Fred tonight, to tell him."

"Well, I should be getting back to my office now," he said as he stood up from the chair. "I just came to make sure you were alright and by the look on your face and in your eyes I'd say you're more than alright." He was joking with her bit, trying to help her to relax a bit. He knew how uptight she could get at times, having worked with her since she became an Auror he knew her quite well. "Have fun tonight," he said as he exited her office and closed the door back behind him leaving Sarah alone in her office once more with a desk full of paperwork.

Sarah smiled as Kingsley got up and then left her office. She looked at her watch, counting down the minutes until she'd get to see Fred, not knowing he was doing the exact same thing at that very moment. She went back to try to do her work for the next few hours, which were going to feel like an eternity.

Finally her workday was over and she Apparated back to her safe place to walk back to Sirius' home. In case anyone was following Dumbledore and her father had set up a 'safe house' for her to go before going to Sirius's house. She Disapparated from the safe house as she usually did, arriving safely at 12 Grimauld Place and walked in the front door. She quickly made her way to her room without speaking to anyone and avoiding Mrs. Weasley at all costs. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to her but she really didn't want to speak to anyone about where she was going.

She took a quick shower and then looked through her closet for something to wear. She found her little black dress in the back of her closet that she had gotten when she went to Paris last year. It was a black satin spaghetti-strap V-neck short designer dress that stopped just above her knees. She found her black strappy high heels and then put the dress on after finding her black bra with thin straps that made it look like her dress had to thin straps on both sides instead of just one. They went really well together which was her reason for buying it in the first place.

She was putting on her a pair of silver antique earrings that had a small fire topaz heart hanging from them, that her mother had left her, when she heard a knock on her door and voice that said, "Sarah is everything okay? Can I come in?"

Oh crap, it's Sirius, she thought to herself, the last person she wanted too talk to right now. "Everything's fine and yes you can come in, but I'm in a hurry," she answered as she opened her jewelry box to take out her silver charm bracelet. Let's just get this over with, she said to herself.

"In a hurry? For what?" asked Sirius as he closed the door behind him. He seemed a little worried as he spoke, but as he looked her over and saw what she was wearing, his mouth dropped open. "Where are you going dressed like that?" He walked over to her his eyes examining her carefully. "Do you have a hot date or something?" He asked it more joking around than actually meaning it. He loved to tease her about going out on dates since she never went on any anymore.

Sarah smirked as she looking into her mirror that was attached to her dresser as she saw Sirius' reaction reflecting in the mirror. "Actually I am going on a date thank you," she replied to him as she fixed her locket she always wore no matter what. It was the one necklace she never took off. It was silver and had her father's family crest on it; he had given it to her when he had sent her to live in America. She walked over, sat on the edge of her bed, and put on her shoes.

"On a date? With who?" he asked, sounding very concerned.

"Yes on a date," she retorted as she put on her right shoe, already having the left one on. "I swear you're as bad as Kingsley. Is it so hard to believe that I'm going on a date? I'm running late, I'll tell you everything later, and don't worry; it's with someone you know. I'll be home no later than midnight." She stood up, grabbed her nice black fancy traveling cloak, and put it on making sure to cover her dress.

"Who are you going out with?" he asked again as she walked towards the door in rather quick urgency and followed her. "I don't care if you are in a hurry. I'm supposed to be looking after you. Does your father even know you're going out? If he finds out I let you go without knowing where you're going and who with, there will be bloody hell to pay and you know it."

"No my dad doesn't know and I'll tell him later," she replied as she quickly made it to the bottom of the stairs, ignoring the screams coming from the pictures on the walls. "I don't have time to be interrogated by iiyou right now Sirius I'll be back later." She passed by Lupin who looked both surprised and shocked and before he could say what he was thinking she answered his question. "I'm going out on a date. I'll be back no later than midnight. Will you keep Padfoot under control until I get back and make sure he doesn't follow me to see where I'm going? I do not want him to leave this house."

"Bloody hell Sarah! Will you just tell me who are going out with!" Sirius said sternly. Then something she had said minutes before came back to him, 'you're as bad as Kingsley.' "Wait you told Kingsley but won't tell me?" He sounded hurt now, but there was no time to make him feel better.

"Sure," Lupin answered flabbergasted at her unwillingness to tell Sirius something, for what he thought to be, the first time. He glanced at Sirius who looked just as stunned as he was. This wasn't like Sarah, something was up, that was for sure, but he did get the feeling it wasn't something to be worried about right now. "Just be careful."

"Yes Sirius, I told him at work today when he told me that someone told him they thought something was bothering me and he was worried when I came back from going to see the twins at lunch," she said looking at Sirius and then looked back at Lupin almost begging him to shut Sirius up. "Thanks Remus and I always am." After she said that, she opened the front door and then closed it before anyone could say anything else or stop her.

She Apparated outside of Madame Puddifoot's in Hogsmeade, hoping she wasn't late and she looked at her watch. "You're right on time," a familiar voice said nearby her and she looked up to see Fred walking up to her. She smiled cheerfully when she looked at him. He too had dressed up for the occasion, wearing nice black dress robes.

"I thought I was going to be late with Sirius interrogating me when I got home," she said, smiling as Fred now stood just a foot away from her. Fred laughed gently at what she told him. She knew he knew what would happen as much as she did.

"This is for you," he said as he held out a beautiful yellow carnation that he made appear in his hand. "I promise it's not one of our joke flowers that will squirt ink in your face or anything." He leaned in and whispered so that only she could hear him as he said, "It's actually a Mood Carnation. Kind of like those Muggle mood ring things. I made the one just for you but reversed the spell so that it tells you want kind of mood I'm in." He grinned as she straightened back up.

"Oh Fred, it's beautiful!" Sarah said, grinning happily, as she took it in her hand and smelled it; it smelled wonderful. She did even notice the few people walking by as she looked at Fred, feeling happier than she had in a long time. "So what mood are you in when it's yellow?"

He smiled at her question. "Yellow means I'm happy," he answered. "Shall we?" He held out his arm for her to take so he could escort her into Madame Puddifoot's.

"Yes," she replied merrily as she took his arm and holding the carnation in her other hand as he opened the door as they both walked in. She noticed that place was romantically lit up with candles on all the tables as the walked over to a table far from the few other couples that were in there. Everything looked so romantic and Sarah was happy that she was here with Fred as she smiled as they got to their table and he helped her take her cloak off.

"Wow!" Fred exclaimed as he saw her dress and looked her up and down. "You look unbelievable!"

"Thank you and so do you," she said as she looked at him as he pulled her chair out for her to sit down. Once she was seated, he scooted her chair up and then took his seat right across from her, never took her eyes off him as two menus appeared in front of them. She laid her yellow carnation down on the table next to it.

"Thank you," said Fred as he looked over at her, looking into her beautiful emerald green eyes. He hadn't even noticed the menus for a moment or two, until Sarah picked hers up to be exact. He smiled and picked up his menu. He wanted everything to perfect. "What looks good to you, Sarah?"

You, she thought to herself. "Hmm, I think the spaghetti with melted Italian cheese sounds very good," she replied after a moment of looking over the menu. The tables all had dark red satin tablecloths with a small floating candle on each table.

"That does sound very good to me as well, and some breadsticks too," he said, smiling at her as their waitress appeared beside their table in a black, somewhat, dress robe.

"I will be your waitress tonight. What will you two be having this evening?" she asked. "Would you like to hear the specials?" Her short brown hair was tucked behind her ear on side with a quill behind that ear and her blue eyes looked at them kindly as she waited.

"No thank you," Fred answered about hearing the specials. "We would like two of her spaghetti with the melted Italian cheese, an order of breadsticks, and a bottle of white wine please."

Sarah smiled at Fred as he ordered for them and then looked at the waitress when she spoke again. Though she couldn't believe, he had order white wine, something she didn't usually drink when in the magic world.

"Anything else?" the waitress asked with a smile.

Fred looked at Sarah to see if she wanted anything else and she shook her head no, knowing the question he was asking without words. "That will be all for now," he said when he glanced back at their waitress and looked back at his date when the waitress disappeared.

"So what other moods does this lovely carnation show?" she asked, intrigued at his new creation and somewhat to make conversation.

"Well, when it's blue it means I'm sad," he answered as the thought of all the moods he had put into the flower. "Green is jealous, purple means emotionally hurt, pink means worried, red means" he began to blush a little and leaned in so that only she could hear him, "well I'll show you what that one means later. Uhm, when it's white with red on the very top of the petals it means I'm feeling very much in love and orange means I'm scared. Ice blue means I'm cold, lime green means cheerful, dark red means I'm angry, solid white means I'm content, pale pink means embarrassed, and yellow and orange together means I'm in trouble. Black means…..well, I think you know what it means but I hope it never turns that color." He looked at her as he reached across the table and took her hand in his and smiled adoringly at her.

"So, you'll show me later what red means huh?" she asked him as she raised her eyebrows at him, more teasing him than anything else. She grinned when looking at his red hair, something that she found she liked about him.

"Yes, sometime when we're alone," Fred smirked, at her hoping she'd get the hint, and when he saw her checks turn a little red he knew she had figured it out, but what she said surprised him more than anything.

"I can't wait," she answered, but before she could say another word, their food appeared on their table, along with two wine glasses and a bottle of wine that he had ordered for them. "This looks great."

"Yes, it does and smells great too," he replied as he breathed in the aroma purring from the food in front of him. He picked up his silver fork and spun it around in the spaghetti as Sarah did the same thing, though she was hoping that the fork would not scratch the white plates they were eating from.

"You came up with almost every mood there is didn't you?" Sarah asked curiously, after swallowing a bit of the spaghetti.

"Yes I did," he replied. "I know sometimes it's hard to read how I'm feeling so I thought that this would help especially for when I am not around for you to know."

"That's so sweet Fred," she replied smiling happily over the table at him and seeing him blush when she said it. It touched her that he cared that much about her.

They talked, ate, sipped their wine and laughed for almost two hours till all their food was gone and there was nothing left on their plates, including their dissert. Fred paid for their dinner as Sarah put on her cloak and picked up her flower, making sure not to forget it. He walked around the table, took her hand in his, and entwined their fingers as the walked out the door, both feeling like they were on cloud nine.

"So, where are we going now?" she asked as she looked over at him as they walked a few feet away from the cafe.

"Well, I thought since you-know-who is back and Bellatrix still out there, that it's not safe for a walk. I think we could go back to my place," he answered. "It won't be very private with George there, but we can sit in the living room and talk if you want."

"I think that sounds wonderful Fred," Sarah replied, grinning at him. They Disapparated together and appeared just outside of Fred and George's store in the back instead of the front as they were less likely to be seen this way. Fred opened the door for her and they walked in, and he made sure that he locked the door behind them to make sure she would be safer. He showed her to the stairs that lead to the upstairs where his and his twin brother's apartment. He knew that George would still be out front minding the store for at least another hour or so and would not be disturbing them and Sarah knew the same.

They walked up the stairs and entered the living room. Sarah smiled as she looked around the rather large living room that had a dark silverish colored couch along the wall and a loveseat, the same color as the couch, across from it and two matching chairs that sat between them, making the furniture almost 'U' shaped. There were oak end tables sitting at the end of the loveseat and couch and a long oak coffee table in the middle. A stone fireplace was on the wall opposite of the two chairs and a small hallway on the right side of the fireplace. On the left at the top of the stairs was a small kitchen connected to the living room. All the walls where white except for the one wall where the fireplace was at which was more of a gray. Pictures where lined along the walls in the living room area.

"Wow Fred, this place looks amazing," Sarah replied, astonished at how great it looked, not that she thought it was going to look horrible or anything. It's just to single guys don't normally live in such a nice looking place.

"Thanks," he said as he took off his dress robes revealing his jeans and a brown t-shirt he had on under his dress robes and then helped Sarah with her cloak. He then laid them both on the back of the chair next to him. "Would you like a tour?"

"I would love one," she answered with a grinned.

"This is our living room and kitchen, not much to look at but we like it," Fred said as he walked around the room towards the hallway, leading Sarah to show her the other rooms. "And this is our spare room, incase mum and dad want to visit and stay the night and it's also a small office." He pointed out the first door on their left. "This is George's room and that's his bathroom." George's room was quite larger than the spare room was with brighter walls and lighter furniture, but it was too much of a mess to see much of the room. "This is my room and my bathroom," he pointed out the room at the end of the hallway. It was the same size as George's, but had a different look to it; it was a little more traditional and a little less messy.

Her eyes did catch a photo of her and him that had been taken a few years before that was sitting on his nightstand and she smiled at him. He had kept that all this time and hadn't said a word to her about it, then again she had forgotten about that photo.

"It's my favorite picture," he said to her, knowing what she was thinking. He closed his door. "Let's go back in the living room and get us something to drink." He then looked at her and walked back down the hallway with her in front of him trying to keep himself calm and cool.

"Have a set on the couch and I'll get us something to drink," he said softly to her and then walked into the kitchen as she sat down on the end of the couch.

"What would like to drink Sarah?"

"A butterbeer would be nice if you have one."

He walked to the fridge, took out two butterbeers, walked back to the couch, and sat down beside her. "Here you go beautiful," he said as he handed her a bottle of butterbeer after opened it for her first.

"Thank you," she said as took it from him, flashing a smile.

"To a great first date," he said, toasting to their date.

"To a fantastic first date," she said and then took a small drink. "I had a really wonderful time tonight, Fred."

"So have I," he replied after taking a drink himself. "I love just spending time with you and being around you." He looked at her and smiled yet again.

"Me too," she agreed and returned the smile.

They talked and laughed for another half hour about how everyone seemed to know they liked each other but no one ever said anything. She told him about Sirius almost having a conniption fit when she wouldn't tell him were she was going and whom she was going with.

She was resting her head on Fred's shoulder when she looked up at him to see him smiling at her. They moved in closer, closer until their lips met, and Fred cupped her cheek with his right hand. A few minutes later Fred broke their kiss and looked deep into her eyes, making her heart race more than it already was.

"I've been wanting to do that for such a long time now," he admitted to her with a smile, blushing somewhat at his words.

She grinned at him. "So have I." She leaned into him and kissed him again, deepening their kiss, and for several minutes, it stayed the same. Her heart seemed to be pounding against her ribs as Fred's tongue made its way into her mouth. He moved his body slightly as did she so that Sarah was facing him

Fred placed his hand on the side of her body, feeling the delicate material of her satin designer dress as he used his left arm to hold himself up as they kissed passionately on his couch. She ran her right hand smoothly through his beautiful red hair feeling his hair between each of her fingers, trying to carve this moment into her memory. It felt as if they were in a completely different world as they sat there on his couch caught up in the passionate kiss that had been held back for so long.

Her tongue explored his mouth more bravely than she expected causing her to blush into their burning kiss, though it was the last thing on either of their minds. All they could think about was this moment that they both had been dreaming of for such a long time that if felt almost as if it was a dream, a dream that would, now never end as long as they both lived.

"Uh-hum, I don't mean to interrupt but," a voice said, causing both Sarah and Fred to jump, break off their kiss. Both looked up at the person standing at the top of the stairs.
