Fred's POV
I was lying on a bed in the over crowded hospital ward in Hogwarts. Hermione was in the bed next to me the beds pulled closely together because of our hands she hadn't woken up yet what ever she had done drained her she had saved my life and for that I would be eternally thankful. After many arguments with my family I finally persuaded them to go home. Saying that it wouldn't do much good here as I was lying in a bed not able to move and after another hour or so of protesting they had finally left I turned my head stiffly to look over at Hermione.
Wow why hadn't I noticed this before her face was smooth and pretty freckles sprinkled across her nose her usual mass of bushy brown hair was actually more tamed I had noticed it was now thick and curly pulled into a messy bun away from her face a few of her wild curls falling from it and touching her shoulders I had always thought of her as a sort of sister but now... I wasn't so sure.
She was wearing dirty ripped leggings her face despite its beauty was covered in scratches her shirt was long sleeved but was burnt it hung in tatters from her belly button down her under shirt was scrunched up and her sleeve on her left arm was cut off in a jagged rip her arm was heavily bandaged there she flinched in her sleep her eyes scrunched up as if she was in pain and then I heard it not her voice but her thoughts as clear as day I gasped Fred... wait a minute what the hell just happened where am I bloody hell Malfoy manor... I could feel a moment of panic and fear pulsating through our clasped hands ...No Hogwarts! Wait wheres Fred did he survive did I save him?" She jerked awake and looked around wildly her eyes resting on me staring at me with wide eyes "Fred" she whispered barely audible "Hey wassup Mione"
"Oh what a great way to great your savior" replied Hermione sarcastically but there was a smile tugging at her lips so it ruined the image. I laughed softly a bit surprised as I had always seen her as a bookworm but now that i thought about it she really didn't have much of a choice being the brains behind "The Golden Trio" and all. "Hermione Granger joking I must be dreaming". I replied in a dreamy voice not unlike Luna's. Hermione promptly burst out laughing, and soon I joined in. After about ten minutes we calmed dow enough to have a conversation she seemed to realize we were holding hands if you looked directly at it, it seemed almost blinding it was now glowing a purplish golden color. What the hell I thought it was supposed to be blue hey I wonder if we could separate now I thought distractedly as I looked over to ask her I took in the confused expression imprinted on her face her thoughts flashed across my mind: Should I tell him? What the hell is happening? No, no I shouldn't I'll just wait until he shows signs that he can too. Oh shit when did this get so bloody complicated! Ha like they were ever simple in my life what with gringotts,the Ministry,Malfoy Manor, and Godrics Hallow, and thats only in the past few months! Well I guess theres nothing I can do about it until I know for sure. I wonder what spell I cast...hmmm I should probably know the answer to that...
"Mione do you by any chance know why are our hands glowing? I start rambling why the hell am I rambling I don't ramble I'm Fred Weasley prankster extrordanair I don't ramble her thoughts are starting to scare she rarely ever cusses or does she? Okay Fred chill maybe you should just get to know her a little it I mean you really only talked to her a handful of times. Wait a minute is that all? I mean sure I've talked to her but only for a few minutes at a time. Hermione interrupted my thoughts. "Fred?" she questioned tilting her head quizzically and waving her other hand in front of my face "You still with me?" "Huh?" I replied smartly real smooth Freddy! "I said do you want to play a game I'm bored" "Hmmm I didn't really have you pegged for a bored type of person" she snorted "Are you kidding? Thats one of the reasons I read I'm not just a stuffy bookworm its so I can keep myself occupied and it has something to do with achieving the status the brightest witch of her age" wow was this the real Hermione Granger she was nothing like how people described her as but then again only Harry and Ron knew the real her. "I'm going to take that as a yes lets play 10 questions seeing as we can't do truth or dare while glued together like this" she said holding up are hands and then letting them down with a flop. "Alright you first" "Okay whats your favorite color?" I didn't even have to think about it its just one of those automatic answers "Orange" I replied with a smirk.
She rolled her eyes and murmured "Should have known"
"Whats your favorite color?"
"Blue" she said with a roll of her chocolate eyes
"Favorite food" she questioned her eyebrow arched in curiosity.
"Anything my mum cooks" I said solemly honestly that one was easy nobody could beat my moms cooking! I thought for a minute about the next one I wanted to make this one count. "What do you want to do for work?" I questioned honestly curios I had alway pictured her working for those magical creatures rights however her answer surprized me "Well... I suppose I would like to be an auror or an unspeakable I mean I faught dark wizards since first year Its all Ive ever known although I don't know if that will even happen considering what we have done in the past year I don't think the ministry will be too happy with us" she replied her eyes sparkling with amusement her a he gave a small smile as she said "I think mabey we should tuck in for the night its been a long day." she blew a stray curl from her face as she layed her head on the pillow s her breathing began evening outs she murmered tiredly just above a whisper but I could here it "Sweet dreams Fred" and with that she fell back into a peaceful slumber. As I lay back falling asleep with a stupid smile on my face thinking of those three little words.
