Hermione watched Scotty chase the butterflies in the garden. Only George, Ginny, Harry, and Herself knew about Freds secret messenger mouse. Mrs. Weasley had an issue with rats and mice after the whole scabbers revelation. So Fred thought it best to keep Scotty a secret. He liked that because Scotty was so small he wasn't easily seen and therefore not a target for any dark wizards wanting to get revenge for Voldemort's downfall. Fred still used owls for most things but important things he left to Scotty. She liked the little mouse. He was a white mouse mostly, however his feet and ears looked liked they had been dipped in black paint. Fred also had charmed his fur to change colors to match his environment if he sensed danger. It was an amazing bit of magic and training Fred had accomplished on his own. Fred was currently training more mice for the rest of them.

She looked up to see Ginny and Harry walking in circles around the pond discussing wedding plans and the twins crouched down in the tall grass beside the pond plotting something. She couldn't help but giggle. They reminded her of young simba and nala in the lion king film she had seen recently. As amused by their antics as she was, she knew Ginny and Harry needed this time, so she did the only thing she could think of.

"Pssss. Scotty, do me a favor." She watched the mouse become alert and approach her waiting for the message. She picked a blade of grass and charmed a message onto it. Curling it up, she stuck it out for Scotty to bite onto and watched him take off thru the grass. She couldn't help but smile, Scotty was so cute when it came down to business. His business at the moment though was stirring the pot that was already boiling over. She shook her head. She may have just caused the pot to explode.

" Alright so on the count of three we cast the rain cloud enchantment to follow them everywhere. When they go to tell someone about it they will appear perfectly dry and no one but them will be able to see the raincloud. It will drive them batty for sure!" George whispered excitedly. They had been perfecting this spell for awhile now and it was finally ready to test out. Fred grinned, but before he could steady his wand for the spell he saw Scotty running towards him.

" Hold that thought, Scotty has something." Fred whispered to George as Scotty came to a stop in front of him, pushing his nose out to show he had a message in his mouth. Fred grabbed the small blade of grass and unrolled it.

George watched as his brothers body stiffened. If he didn't know better he could've sworn his brother stopped breathing.A slow smile was coming over Fred's face as he rolled the grass back up. His eyes igniting in a way that only one person could cause.

Fred quietly cleared his throat, as not to alert Ginny and Harry to their location, and looked at his twin.

" I am afraid this particular prank will have to wait darling brother of mine. I have very important business i need to attend to. We will have to try again tomorrow." Fred grabbed Harrys invisibility cloak he had borrowed and snuck away unseen, leaving George helpless in the grass, as apparating would give him away and make the two wedding planners suspicious for days.

Hermione cursed to herself as she watched Fred vanish under the cloak. She didn't know he had the cloak and now he had a major advantage on her. She quickly stood up and walked into the storage shed. There was no way to move in there without bumping into something and giving yourself away, so Freds invisibility would no longer matter. She held her breath as she heard the door close behind her. She turned around expecting to see nothing, but Fred had already taken the cloak off. His grin was turning her to mush, but the rest of him was setting her on fire. His hair was wild from the wind and a constant hand running thru it. His white t shirt was proudly displaying every muscle he had, and his shorts while not snug, did nothing to hide his desire for her. She was in trouble. She summoned every ounce of will power to try and stand her ground.

" So, you NEEDED to see me ALONE eh. What my dear is your marvelous self NEEDING so badly?" He stopped just three inches from her, bring his hand to her neck, slightly pushing her chin up with his thumb to bring their lips closer together. His eyes pinned her to the spot, she couldn't have moved, and she wasn't sure she wanted to." What do you desire Hermione?" He whispered bringing his lips just a breath from hers, eyes slowly beginning to close.

" Can i see my mouse now?" Hermione said.
