Fred's POV
"No Ron, you don't care about me!" I heard Hermione snap.
"Maybe I don't maybe I have realised that I don't care about you! You re such a book worm anyway, why would I love you?" replied Ron fiercely
SLAP! The unmistakable sound of Hermione slapping Ron echoed in the house, followed by the sound of a door slamming shut.
I stood up and made my covers fall to the floor, before George had even opened and eye, I had apparated in the dining room. I walked over to Ron and punched him. That felt good. How dare he treat Hermione like that? Calling her a bookworm in front of everyone? He knew very well she didn't like being called that and he still did. Mum yelped when I punched him, but I didn't take any notice of it. Instead, I walked out the door and headed off to find Hermione. I found her curled up in a ball in the same high grass as last time. I could hear her sobbing even before I had reached her. I touched her shoulder and she jumped in my arms, squeezing me in a tight hug.
"What did my git of a brother do to you?" I asked and there was a hint of ferocity in my voice.
"He… He was… He said that I was worthless, and a bookworm and that… that he didn't care about me." She replied between sobs.
"I heard that bit, but before that, what happened?" I asked, my voice shaking with anger.
"This morning, he said he cared about me and loved me, then I saw him leaving the Burrow and I followed him and he went to snog Lavender." She spat out the last word.
My body was shaking with anger now. He didn't deserve Hermione, he was a worthless git who knew nothing.
"Wait till I lay hands on him, I ll give him more than a simple punch!" I whispered in her ear
"You punched him?" She asked, her voice had a hint of admiration but her face was full of anger.
"Yes, after he called you a bookworm and all that crap." I replied
Instead of yelling at me, like I expected her to, she kissed me. I didn't push away, instead I deepened the kiss and held her tightly to me. The kiss made my body light up and my heart was pounding. I felt the same tingly feeling as before. It felt so right to have her in my arms.
The sound of the back door closing broke our kiss, but the need of air would have broken the kiss soon enough. Hermione didn't look at me, but I lifted her head so that her eyes locked with mine. I tilted her head back and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. She smiled the sweetest of smiles. I heard the grass rustle and Ron appeared. I was disappointed to see that he had a black eye but no further damage had been done. When he saw me, his look changed from innocent to completely insane.
