{Fred's POV}
It was summer, almost the holidays now and when Harry left one night to find out about he third task I got George to distract Ron while Hermione and I snuck out. I took her to The Room of Requirement; I asked for a romantic room that no one could bother us. I asked for there to be flowers and romantic music and for when we walk in, for our clothes to turn to formal clothing fit for the occasion.
As I ushered her through the door she looked around fascinated. There were rose petals on the floor and pink, red and white cushions in the corner. And a harp somewhere was playing music. I must say I out did myself
"You look divine, 'Mione,"
Her dress was a deep red bringing out the brownness of her eyes and the tan of her skin. I wasn't until I spoke that she noticed that she had changed clothes. She looked at me and saw that I had changed and said
"You look very handsome, Fred." She smiled at me and kept looking around
"Where are we anyway?" She asked
"The Room of Requirement," I answered
"This is far bigger than a broom closet," she commented
I pulled out her chair and gestured for her to sit
At that moment two owls flew in with our food
"Butterbeer and pumpkin pasties?" she questioned
"I didn't want to make the house elves work any harder," I replied with the cheeky smile
With that I opened her a Butterbeer and opened one for myself and said
"Cheers," I didn't know what to though
"To us." Hermione finished for me
We drank and had a few pasties and then I pulled her over to the pillows and began talking
"Listen, Hermione…" I wasn't sure how she was going to take this
"Yeah, Fred?" Her smile faded a bit
"I'm not sure how to say this," I continued
"Are you breaking up with me?" She asked, I could see tears forming in her eyes
I was shocked
"What?! No! Of course not! I love you." I tried to make her feel better
It seemed like she had gone into shock
"What did you say?" she said quietly
That was when I realised what she was in shock over
"I said . . . that I love you," I stated in a matter-of-fact tone that she often used, I looked into her eyes as I finished
"You do?" she sounded confused
"Yes I do, more than anything," I continued
"Really?" she was insecure, she couldn't help herself being unsure
"Yes, how many times must I say it? I love you more than Charlie loves dragons, more than Harry loves being the hero, more than Ginny loves Harry, more than my dad loves muggles and more than Ronald loves food." I finished; I knew all my words were true
"You love me?" she asked a final time
"I love you." I answered.
"I love you too." She said while looking into my eyes
"What?" even though I heard, I wanted to hear her say it again
"I love you too." She repeated, then my trickster self took over I pulled her up lifted her and twirled her around
"What did you say deary?" I said quietly as I lowered her to the ground
"I love you." She whispered to me
"I love you too" I looked down into her eyes the lifted her slightly off the ground and kissed her. She was only 15 and I was in love with her and she was in love with me.
We spent most of the evening talking, and then I said
"Hermione, you must be getting back. I'm sure that my twin is bored of my brother's company," I helped her up and we left the room. Our clothes changing back in the process. I kissed her outside the portrait hole before we went in, knowing that it would be a while before I got another chance. She went in and I waited 2 minutes before I did. When I got in she was sitting with Ron in the corner talking and George was waiting by the stairs for me with an expectant look on his face
"Well?" He asked me pressingly, Hermione's head snapped up; I looked at her and smiled.
She looked down but I could see that she was smiling
"Tell you upstairs," I said and raced him up to our room.
{Hermione's POV}
"So either someone attacked Viktor-" Fred tensed beside me, I frowned at him
"And Mr. Crouch or Mr. Crouch attacked Viktor-" Fred cringed
"Then he ran off." I finished
"Or the Krum pig attacked crouch, hid the body, then stunned himself?" Fred added unhelpfully
"No, Fred. There wasn't enough time." I replied
"I'm sure there was," he pressed
"There wasn't." I confirmed
"Are you tired?" he asked me in a very caring tone
"A little bit," I answered, down playing how I really felt
"You should go to bed," He told me
"If you insist," I smiled at him, he could see right through me.
I go to the stairs,
"Goodnight, love." He called to me
"Goodnight." I called back to him
It was much later. I had woken up and realised I left my book in the common room. I snuck down to find it and I found Fred instead. He was working on stuff for the shop. I'm so lucky sometimes.
He looked up at me, smiled and then looked a bit worried
"We're going to try blackmailing Ludo Bagman." He said very seriously to me
"What? Why?" I sat down beside him
"Because he cheated us out of our money at the World Cup,"
"Right, try not to get caught. You could end up in Azkaban for that." I half-heartedly tried to talk him out of it
Bagman is a pig to try and rip my Fred off
"But so could he."
"It's your word against his," I continued
"Oh, 'Mione, sometimes you are just amazing. I'll love you 'til the day I die." He whispered into my ear
I feel a "but" coming on…
"But we're doing this, he ripped us off. And you really should not rip off the Weasley Twins." He spoke with and air of power
"I love you too, but right now I need to go to bed." I gave him a quick peck on the lips then started up the stairs.
Of course, I forgot about the trick stair and went tumbling backwards. Strong arms appeared behind my knees and the top of my back, he had caught me and was now holding me bridal style
"You falling for me all over again, 'Mione?" He smirked
"How did you know I was going to fall?" I asked him, incredulously
"I didn't, you were lucky, I saw your book and was trying to catch you before you left." He laughed at the pun
"I'm glad you did." I smiled at him then went up to bed.
