*Hermione's Dream*

The crowd was cheering as the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams flew out into the field. As they all assumed their starting positions, she saw Fred waving to her. But she also noticed that Ron was waving at her too. Just as he was blowing her a kiss, a great force nearly knocked him off his broomstick, and that force was Fred, who had body slammed him from the side. Just as Ron caught his balance, the ball was thrown and the game began. As Ron took his place as keeper, Fred flew really close past him at such a speed that he was knocked off his broom. He fought to hang on but his fingers were about to slip.

*Gryffindor Common Room*

"Hermione! Fred! Wake up!" she heard Ginny whisper while shaking her shoulder.

She opened her eyes to find that she was still on the couch in the common room, with Fred curled up around her, still fast asleep. She carefully lifted his arm off of herself and got up.

"Please do me a favor?" Ginny whispered nervously. "Don't let Ron find out about this. He likes you. A lot. And I don't want to see him and Fred get into a fight."

"Don't worry. I swear I would never tell. I'd hate to see them fight." She whispered as she picked up her book and climbed up the stairs to the dormitories to get washed up and dressed. She was glad that Ginny was an early riser, or else Ron would have gone nuts. She wasn't sure what to think about the previous evening. She never had feelings like that for any of the Weasley boys before, although Ron made it obvious that he had feelings for her. She was struck with guilt from the fact that she did not have similar feelings for Ron.

*Great Hall*

As she sat down at the table, she couldn't help but notice that neither Ron nor Harry was there yet. Just then, George walked over and sat down across from her.

"I heard you became quite fond of Ol' Freddie last night" he said, trying to not burst out in a fit of laughter.

"Oh shut up." She said, not sure what to think about last night. "I-Harry! Where is Ron?" she said, happy to change the subject as Harry approached the table and sat down next to George.

"He wasn't feeling good this morning. He seemed a bit queasy, so I took him down to the infirmary."

"Oh, ok. That was nice of you." She said, not wanting to face Ron, afraid he would become suspicious about the previous night's activities.

"Good morning!" said Fred looking directly at Hermione, and his face beaming. He sat down next to her and put his arm over her shoulder, and gave her a big, loud kiss on the cheek, making her once again turn bright red.

"Hmm, since when are you two so close?" Harry asked, quite shocked at this new behavior he was witnessing.

"Since last night, when we realized our true passion for each other!" he said with his usual hint of sarcasm, which Harry apparently didn't pick up on right away.

"Wait, what?" he nearly shouted at them, causing a few nearby stares.

"It was just a bit of snogging." She said quietly, her face glowing bright red. "And he started it!" she said as she nudged Fred with her elbow.

"Really? You two? How'd you swing that Fred?" Harry joked

"Well you have to start by irritating her." He said as he gently nudged Hermione's arm. "Then you have to get really close." He said as he pulled her in towards him. "Then you have to just go for it!" he said quickly and just went straight into a kiss that nearly startled her.

"Bloody hell! What is going on? Fred, get away from her!" he shouted, causing them both to jump and look up at him.

"R-Ron… what are you doing here, I thought you weren't feeling well." Hermione asked nervously, and suddenly very guilty.

"Well I feel fine now! How long have you two been sneaking around together behind my back?" Ron shouted at the two of them.

"Well it was just since last night, for your information!" George said as he stood up to defend his twin.

"Shut it George!" Ron yelled across at him

"Thank you Georgie. As for you Ron, you have no say in who I date." He said as he stood up and faced him, towering over him.

"Well I have had feelings for her much longer than you have! And I have known her longer than you! Go ahead Hermione, tell him you like me better!" Ron shouted as he turned to her.

She looked at the two of them with teary eyes. She couldn't stand to see the two of them like this. She then looked around the room, trying to avoid eye contact with either of them, and realized the commotion that they had caused. People from all four tables had their eyes dead set on them. She panicked and felt the tears roll down her cheeks as she got up and ran for the door.
