A/N:

Hi. April here. Enjoy chapter four (: Leave me reviews with ideas? Maybe? No? Okay.

Disclaimer: I wish I wrote Harry Potter. That would look really good on my college application.


An Accident

Chapter 4

They're kicking us out saying it's time to close

We're leaning on each other try'na beat the cold

Carry your shoes and I give you my coat

Walking these streets like they're paved of gold

Anymore excuses not to go

Neither one of us want to take that taxi home

Hermione was having a lot more fun than she had ever had in a long time. The start of summer holiday party was in full swing. Hermione guessed there was around two hundred people at the Burrow household but she really wasn't paying attention to that particular detail. Fred had dragged her out on the dance floor, and she was actually dancing and having a good time.

Fred was trying to show off with all his 'cool' moves that he had, but he just ended making himself look silly. Hermione laughed every time. She had to admit, he was a good dancer, though. He seemed to dance much better when he wasn't trying. At random moments during the night, he would take her hand and spin her around on the dance floor for awhile with her laughing the whole time.

It was these spontaneous occurrences that Hermione loved. She didn't ask for them; Fred knew when she had to be entertained. She could sense his look when she would be standing on the sides with Ginny, obviously bored. She liked that he noticed her, and she had been noticing more that he had been casting her glances recently. Noting motivating him, just little times during the day where she would see him out of the corner of her eye looking her way.

Flashing lights and louder music brought her back to the present. She was standing on the side of the dance floor with Ginny, just the two of them nodding their heads to the music. She scanned the crowd for Fred. Then again, it was hard to miss the crowd of people around him while he was dancing.

Hermione merely smiled.

"What are you so happy about?" Ginny asked, well yelled, over the music.

"Oh, nothing. I'm just happy it's finally summer holiday."

Ginny gasped. "Did the great Hermione Granger just admit she was glad she was off of school?"

Hermione laughed. "Maybe I did, Gin."

"Who are you and what have you done to Hermione Granger?!"

Hermione laughed again, louder this time. It was true, though. The only reason she was happy school was over was because she would be able to see Fred all summer. That was truly the only reason. She was going to miss school, and all her academics, but still...

She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Fred make his way over to her.

"What's got you two girls so happy?" he asked, startling her.

"Hm? Oh, nothing," Hermione replied with a smile.

"Nothing my arse, Hermione!" Ginny exclaimed. "She's happy to be out of school," she said to Fred.

Fred gasped in fake horror. "WHAT? It can't be!"

Hermione playfully hit him on the arm. "Shut up." Fred just smiled, his eyes shining in the bright lighting.

Hermione decided at that moment that she could stare into his eyes all day.

Her thought was interrupted by the DJ. "Alright witches and wizards, it's that time of night! Grab yourself a partner and get ready to slow dance!"

Ginny looked from Hermione to Fred. She said, "Well, I'm off to find me an attractive partner. Bye!" And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

"Harry's the other direction!" Fred yelled after her. Hermione smiled, and shook her head.

The slow song began, and couples started making their way onto the dance floor. Hermione stole a glance at the certain Weasley next to her, only to see he was staring at her as well.

He held out his hand to her. "May I have this dance, Miss Granger?"

"Only if there's no danger involved," was her reply.

"Now that I can't promise, but I can promise it will be fun," he retorted back with a wink.

She sighed with fake annoyance. "If I must, Mr. Weasley."

Fred grinned, took her hand, and led her onto a spot on the dance floor. She put her arms around his neck, he slipped his hands down to her waist, and the two swayed back and forth. Hermione couldn't find herself to look at Fred directly.

"You know, Hermione, my eyes are up here," Fred said.

Hermione laughed lightly. "I know," but she still did not move her gaze up to Fred's face.

Fred tried again. ""Mione, I believe you are well aware of the custom of looking at your partner while dancing?"

Hermione smiled. "I know, Fred. I'm sorry, it's just-"

"Just what?"

She couldn't' take it any longer. She shifted her eyes onto Fred's face, and the confusion it held.

"I don't know why you're being so nice to me, and it's totally awkward, and I'm dancing with my ex boyfriend's brother, and-" Hermione stopped short. No one was supposed to know about her and Ron yet. And Fred wasn't entirely the best at keeping a secret.

Fred's eyes widened. "You and ickle Ronniekins really broke it off?"

"Erm, yeah. But no one's really supposed to know that yet..."

To her surprise, Fred laughed. "Well 'Mione, hate to burst your bubble, but it was quite obvious by the awkward tension between you two lately."

Now it was Hermione's turn to be surprised. "It's that obvious?"

Fred just chuckled. "Don't worry about it." They swayed in silence for a few seconds, but Fred broke it. "Aren't I always nice to you?"

Hermione thought about that. "Well, yes, but it seems to be more of an occurring trait as of recently."

Fred just shook his head. "Alright then, Ms. Granger." And the only words he spoke next were of the song they were dancing to.

Come away with me

In the night

And I will write you a song

Hermione had never heard Fred sing before. His voice was deep, yet passionate. She could barely even describe it; his voice was so wonderful.

"How come I have never heard you sing before?" Hermione asked him.

Fred shrugged. "I guess it's not something that I really thought about sharing."

"Well, you should reconsider that thought."

"Is Hermione Granger complimenting me?"

She giggled. "No, never that."

He laughed, and the two continued to sway while Fred accompanied the music.

Come away with me and we'll kiss

On a mountaintop

Come away with me

And I'll never stop loving you
