{Hermione's POV}

I woke up warmer than usual. I was in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room. There was a weight around my torso, I looked down and saw an arm then I breathed deeply and noticed the warm, musky smell of one, Fred Weasley. I smiled to myself and tried to get up, his arm tightened and he pulled me down

He pressed his face into my hair

"Where do you think you're going?" He growled, but I knew he was smiling

"Fred, I have to go to breakfast," I muttered, turning to look at him "Pavarti and Lavender will wonder where I was!"

"Mhm, you could tell them you slept with me," He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively

"Ha, right, like they wouldn't take that in a different way," I laughed

"Hermione, as much as I love you, and I do" A voice from across the room said loudly "I'm trying to sleep."

"Sorry, George, you're twin-" I smiled at Fred "Won't let me leave,"

"Fred, let your girlfriend-" my stomach flipped "Go!" Lee said louder than George had been

"Guys, what kind of wingmen are you?" Fred feigned disgust at his roommates

"We love you, Fred, but your girlfriend has to eat," Lee and George said together

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" Fred muttered as he looked into my eyes before pulling me down to kiss him

I felt him smile into the kiss, he felt victorious

"As much as I've enjoyed this," I leaned my forehead on his and looked into his eyes "I really need to go,"

{Fred's POV}

I didn't want to let her go but I did anyway. She rolled to the edge of the bed before sitting up and stretching. I sat up and leaned on the wall

"So tell me, 'Mione, what are you going to tell your friends about where you were last night?" I questioned

She turned her head and scowled

"The library." She said, dammit they would believe her

"You're not gonna tell them you slept with me?"

"Nope," She smiled at me, I faked being hurt

"Are you ashamed of your indiscretions?" I said to her leaning in

"Not at all, just the rumour mill, I can keep up the façade of being a two timer, a three timer is too much work"

She kissed me before turning and leaving, giving me a view of what I had, through her nightgown

I turned to face the other beds in the room to find Lee and George gawking at the door

"Guys!" I shouted, snapping them out of their no doubt impure thoughts of my girlfriend

Their heads snapped to face me

"Yeah, Fred?" The said together, hiding their guilt quite well

"Arms, Hands, Head and every other body part off!" I yelled, "She's mine."

"Sorry Fred," George said "Couldn't help it," he wiggled his eyebrows

"Yeah, me too, Fred." Lee continued, "I'm a man, and that's quite a woman you've got there."

I threw a pillow at him

"I know," I thought to myself before lying down and returning to my dreamland, I would get breakfast from the kitchen later.

{Hermione's POV}

"Harry is so arrogant sometimes." I vented to Fred one night after everyone else had gone to bed.

"First, he goes off into the forest with Viktor-" he tensed up

"O.K even I admit that was dim-witted." I continued

"Then when Sirius tells Harry not to go out of bounds he says that Sirius is out of line telling him what to do, because of what they did at school." I finished up, knowing Fred would ask . . .

"What did they do at school?" as if on cue

"Just ran around school as illegal unregistered Animagi with a werewolf, found every secret passage in and around the school and left a map to any future troublemakers to help them." I finished with a deep breath

"The Marauders Map?" he asked

"The very same." I replied

"We found it in Filch's office! Gave it to Harry last year so he could get to Hogsmeade." Fred continued

"I know you did, Harry had some fun that day, he messed with Malfoy." I couldn't help giggling when I remembered it

"Ha! So it was Sirius Black's Map? Who else?" Fred asked, I loved when he was curious, especially about thing that only I and a few others know

"It was Scabbers', Professor Lupin's, Sirius' and Harry's dad's." I explained.

"What a strange group," I thought to myself

"So it got back to its heir eventually," Fred smiled at the thought

"That it did," I smiled back at him

"Moody says Ron and I need to keep an eye on Harry, someone is out to get him." I continued

"Could you get hurt?" Fred asked in an alarmingly horrified way

"No, just keep and I on, not take a killing curse for. Though he is one of my best friends I probably would" I had to say it, it was the truth.

"Please, don't. I don't know what I'd do if you died." He said with so much sincerity that I almost cried

"Fred," I caressed his face "I won't die, not this year anyway."

I smiled at my attempted bravado and saw it have worked when he kissed me. He laid me down and hovered above me kissing my lips then from my hairline to my collarbone. I could almost feel his internalised battle of whether or not to carry on, so I stopped.

"I should go to bed now, Third Task practice tomorrow." I said, feigning tiredness

"Want to stay with me?" he asked, he was tired too, but there was too much hope in his tone for me to turn him down

"Of course, Fred."

Just then Harry came through the portrait hole with a look on his face that told me that I was not going to bed anytime soon. I gave Fred and apologetic look and he gave me an understanding look. Harry went upstairs to get Ron and while he was gone I told Fred that I was sorry and that I'd make it up to him after the third task. I kissed him, and let my lips linger near his then I smiled and said goodnight. He turn and walked to the stairs then turned back and said "I love you, 'Mione." I smiled at him and said "I love you too." He continued up the stairs, probably passing Ron and Harry because they emerged a few seconds later.

Harry, Rita, Dumbledore, Rita, Bertha Jorkins, Rita, Barty Crouch, Rita, Barty Crouch Junior, Rita, Winky, Rita, Hagrid. Harry was telling me the whole tale about what he had seen in the Pensieve and all I could think was how in the world Rita Skeeter, the cow, was getting her information.

{Fred POV}

Hermione, Ron and Harry were already awake practicing when I got up. I really wanted to talk to Hermione. The girl I love. But I knew that at this moment she needed to be with her friend. She could be saving his life right now. She looked up when I came down the stairs. Her look was apologetic. And I looked into her bright brown eyes and smiled, trying to tell her that it's was fine, that I understood.

She grabbed me one afternoon, and pulled me behind the same suit of armour that I had done to her earlier in the year.

"Come with me." She said mysteriously

"And no one gets hurt?" I added with a chuckle

"I'm glad you know the rules already, Fred." She sang as she pulled me along

We finally got where she was taking me. It was McGonagall's classroom. Complete with all the cushions Harry, Ron and my love were practicing with.

"So this is where you've been hiding." I said kissing her with deep desire

"Hmmm," She said when I finally released her "Someone's impatient today," she sang as she picked up a pillow and threw it at me

"Hey! I waited until we got here didn't I?" I told her in her very matter-of-fact way, catching the pillow

"Yes, I guess you did." She gave up. I loved to win. Victory is good.

I lifted her up, kissing her, and she wrapped her legs around my waist and I carried us over to the cushions then set her down and lay beside her.

"I love you." She told me, taking my hand

"I love you too." I squeezed her hand

"So where are my brother and my boy-who-just-won't-die-no matter- how- voldy- tries?" I asked her playfully

"I don't know, talking to Moody probably. He has The Marauders Map you see." She told me

"Do you worry about them much?" I asked her seriously

"All the time, mainly Harry. He's like a brother to me and every year he's put up against something wanting to kill him. It is entirely unfair."

"I love how much you care. You care about so much. And all at once too." She smiled at me.

Just then Harry and Ron walked in. 'Mione grabbed something off the desk beside her and threw it over me. Harry and Ron weren't looking when they walked in so they didn't see me straight away. In fact they didn't even seem to see me when they looked right at Hermione and said

"Good you're already here,"

I stood to say that I was just leaving but then heard her

"Silencio" I looked down at her as she whispered the spell and noticed her wand was pointed at me, that little minx.

Then I realised that I couldn't see my body. I could feel something on my head though. A sheet? Something soft. I sat on the cushions and stayed there through their entire practice. I loved seeing Hermione so strong.

Harry and Ron left for dinner but Hermione told them that she'd just clean up. I stayed under what ever she put on me and snuck up behind her, grabbed her around the waist and let her remove the silencing charm

"Well, love, that was some very good wand work there," I told her over her shoulder

"I'm sorry they came, I figured that they'd be gone for much longer." She sounded guilty

"No, no, not at all. I'm glad I got to see everything you've been up to lately." I kissed her on the cheek, gave her back whatever she had put on me

"What is that exactly?" I pondered

"Oh, it's Harry's dad's invisibility cloak." She said in a way that made me think she had known about this for a while

"Since when did he get one of those?" I continued

"For Christmas, first year." She answered nonchalantly

"Oh, right."

"I've missed you recently, Fred, A lot." She said, looking at her feet

"Hey, don't cry now. Soon, Harry will have won the tournament and everything will be back to normal. I'll have you all to myself again." I tilted her chin up and gave her a kiss

We walked out of McGonagall's class and we went back to the common room.

{Hermione's POV}

"It couldn't possibly be true," I thought to myself as I rushed to the library "It's so illegal!" I continued to myself

I saw two tall redheads in front of me and I jumped on the taller one's back.

"Hey, you." He said as he kissed me on the cheek

"Hey, 'Mione," George said smiling

"Where's the fire, love?" Fred asked me

"I think I know how Skeeter has been getting her intel." I said, I knew I was grinning like and idiot

Fred was supporting my legs and carrying me on his back

"And it's sooo illegal!" I was giddy with the excitement of finally getting her!

"Good for you love, I need to go to Transfiguration now though," He kissed me on the cheek and left with George.

I ran to the library and found exactly what I was looking for. She's and Animagus! A beetle to be exact.

As I entered the great hall for lunch I noticed that Fred was sitting with Harry, Ginny and everyone else. I noticed Mrs. Weasley and Bill were there also. I guess they'd have to wait before I told them about Rita.

"Hello, Hermione." She said to me stiffly as I sat beside Fred

My heart sank; she really did believe the stories that cow made up. Fred placed his had on my leg under the table and made circles with his thumb; he was trying to comfort me, it wasn't really working.

"Hello," I replied, knowing that my tone was quite sad

Fred looked at me apologetically I smiled at him. Just knowing he still cared made me feel slightly less sad

"Mrs. Weasley, you didn't believe that rubbish Rita Skeeter wrote in Witches Weekly did you? Cause Hermione's not my girlfriend!" I heard Harry say, shocking me out of my funk.

Fred had tensed up beside me when Harry mentioned the idea of me being his girlfriend. He knows that Harry is like my brother but it still bothers him that people think that I am with other people.

Mrs. Weasley warmed up to me after Harry said that
