Nocktiketack Alley

Hermione got up out of the fire place and looked around. She was in a dark house. How long have I been out for? The rooms around her looked different from the ones back at headquarters. She should have been standing in the kitchen by the large table, but instead she was in a long corridor that had a door at the end of it. The door led to the unknown. She ran down the corridor quickly, the wooden floor boards creaking under her. She opened the door at the end; it was dark outside. It was also raining. She pulled up her hood and walked down the empty darkened ally. One of the lights automatically turned on, and there at the end of the ally was a gang. Not a muggle gang. A wizard gang. She turned quickly in the hope that they wouldn't see her. But she saw that not less than a meter away was a large brick wall. Going that way wasn't an option; neither was going the other way. Hermione panicked, she really didn't want to go back into the house. She started slowly heading for the gang in the hopes that they would leave her alone. One of them turned in the light; she could now see that he was very large and muscular.

"Oi look here's one, looks like a stupid little muggle girl" Once again Hermione panicked and turned the other way. The light at the other end had gone out. She could only just make out another figure running towards her in the darkness. She stopped and turned the other way right into another guy's chest.

"Hello darling" He breathed all over her, smelling strongly of alcohol and some other musky scent" "Are you lost? We can help you find your way" He finished. She panicked and tried to turn but he had her tightly in his grasps.

"Now, where you going?" He asked breathing into her ear. She squirmed and pulled away from him. He started getting things out of the pockets and stopped when he came to the list from Hogwarts. He opened his mouth to speak but he was cut off.

"Hermione! Where are you?" A voice shouted from the dark.

"We've got your little Hermione" He shouted back pulling down her hood and exposing her to the rain. Hermione looked frantically into the dark

"HERMIONE!" The voice shouted "DUCK!" Just then, an explosion went off from behind her. She tried to duck but the man held onto her. The man was bewildered with all the smoke and loosened his grip on her. She kicked backwards and heard him shout. Hermione started running forward but was stopped when a strong lanky figure grabbed her. She gasped. It picked her up and started running.

"Hermione it's me" Fred breathed down her neck. The sighed in relief. The smoke had slightly cleared and he could see her face. The rain had washed off her make up. He continued to run faster and faster until they reached the old house again. He put her down but never let her go.

"HERMIONE!" Fred gasped "what did they do to you?" Hermione looked puzzled for a moment then realised, and looked down at the floor. Fred looked at her. Her clothes where ruffled, her lipstick was smudged and her top had come up a little bit from where he was holding her.

"They didn't? Hermione tell me they didn't?... Please tell me they didn't… Rape you!" He almost shouted

"NO!" she shouted back "they didn't, don't worry" she moved closer to him, breathing him in knowing that tomorrow when they go back to school she wouldn't be this close to him, he'd go back to being all 'Angelina' and she'd only see him when he needed help with homework. She stole one last look at his face, gazing up into his eyes

"Then what happened to your face?" He asked. Hermione once again looked down at the floor, realising that the rain must have washed off her attempt of covering it up with makeup and distracting them with her hair.

"Can we just leave it, it doesn't matter" she sighed.

"Hermione, of course it matters. Those guys could have really hurt you! They could have-" Fred cringed at the thought of what they could've done.

"You" she whispered. She let go of Fred and moved out of his embrace. Fred looked shocked "This morning when you pushed me into the rail it bruised my cheek and gave me a black eye. You also managed to split my lip open" She looked down at the floor

"Hermione I'm so sorry!" He sounded shocked. She nodded, not actually accepting his apology. She took a step back away from him and pulled her hoodie tighter around her.

"Can we just go back?" She asked slowly. Fred's face changed. She looked up into his eyes

"We can't" He said quietly "there's no floo powder" he looked ashamed with him self

"Well then just Apparate back" she said like he was stupid "you've been doing it all summer" Once again Fred looked down into her eyes

"I can't" he looked so sad it made Hermione want to cry "The bomb I set off was to stop people Apparating anywhere" he paused "It was the only thing I had, and you could have been -" Hermione just looked at him and begged him to stop with her eyes. She sighed

"Where are we?" She asked

"Nocktiketack Alley" he paused "it's all the way in Australia hence why it's dark" Fred sighed. She took a step back and walked away from him towards the wall. She leant against it hiding her face in her hood and her hands. Fred stood there and looked at her. Hermione's small frame and cute face was all hidden behind this hoodie. Fred felt a wave of guilt crash over him as he realised it was his entire fault they were stuck here.

"Hermione?" Fred whispered as if anyone would hear him, everyone was long gone. Hermione stayed still against the wall waiting for him to talk. He didn't. She waited for his voice but nothing came. Hermione felt his presence close to her. She looked up. There, just in front of her nose was Fred's nose. His eyes gazing into hers; he took her small hands in his.

"Fred?" Hermione asked "How did we end up like this?" Fred found it hard to look away from her but he did.

"I'm sorry, I pushed you too far, I was annoyed because you cared and it's stupid I know, but I couldn't. When you came downstairs and started talking to him like you had never fallen out, it made me realise that I don't know you the way he does and I wanted to. I made you say 'It's not like that' now look where it's gotten us?" Fred tried to smile at his stupidity but couldn't. Hermione didn't answer.

"Hermione, please, I'm so sorry." Fred pleaded but she still wouldn't look at him. She nodded not really excepting his apology.

"We'll just wait until the smoke clears?" she asked. He nodded

"Come on let's get out of the rain" He tried to move her along but she wouldn't move. "Come on I said I was sorry!" Hermione still wouldn't move. She looked as if she wouldn't go anywhere with Fred ever again. Fred looked at her small figure; she shivered from the cold, the rain fell down her small face. She looked at Fred. His face full of concern, his dark eyes full of worry and hatred. His hair was messy and soaking wet making it stand up. His hoodie was open slightly, where you could see his t-shirt clinging to his abs. He breathed in slightly from the cold. Hermione would still not move. Her head was telling her not to trust him; it was also ignoring her heart.

Fred had started to panic they would be coming back anytime now and Hermione still wouldn't move. He took a step closer to her, closing the small gap between their noses, catching Hermione by surprise. Fred used this to his advantage; he move his hands around her waist and smoothly picked her up. He moved quickly in a walking motion, when he got to the door he kicked it open and closed it behind him. He still didn't put Hermione down.

Hermione wriggled and moved in an attempt to get Fred to let her go.

"FRED! Put. Me. Down!" She exclaimed. Fred motioned for her to be quiet and placed her feet on the floor.

"I think they're coming back" Fred stated. He gave Hermione a hug in the attempt to get her to stop shivering. It worked almost instantly, she stopped shivering and looked up into his eyes. She moved her face closer and closer to his and he did the same. Their eyes were full of determination and longing. There was a sound of footsteps from outside the door.

"Fred, Apparate!" Hermione whispered urgently. Fred let out a cheeky smile

"Wait, we were in the middle of something" He chuckled. Hermione blushed, trying to cover it up with her hands

"No, come on let's go!" She whispered frantically

"I think we were" He whispered smiling mischievously.

Hermione tried to take a step back but Fred's hands were still locked around her waist. She gave him a look.

"Hermione they won't know we're here" Fred exclaimed. He was wrong, the door barged open.

"FRED! ANYTIME TODAY!" Hermione screamed. Fred leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek. Before he moved his lips away he had Apparated.
