"I honestly thought he'd be dead by now." Harry laughed as he took a sip from the wine.
"I'm pretty sure Aberforth can outlive us all."
"I can't believe he risked his life again to save you. And you called him hopeless." Harry shook his head in response.
"That was years ago!"
"It was only 2 years ago!" Hermione laughed.
"I missed this Mione."
"You and me both."
"Now we need to make a plan, we need to practice. We need to be ready." She nodded.
" How about you get some rest. And I sort things out at the restaurant. And we sit down and make a plan." They touched the tip of their glasses.
"Sounds good to me."
Fred
There she was with ripped jeans and a white plain t-shirt and a leather jacket.
Her curls tamed in a braid. She walked towards him and with every step she took his heart beat stronger. Like it was going to explode.
"I must say you look exceptionally beautiful." Fred said as he took her hand and touched his lips to it.
"Thank you Fred. You as well."
"Shall we?" Fred offered his arm and she wrapped hers around it.
"Fred?"
"Yes love."
"I hope your plans for this date involve food." Fred laughed. He knew she was not like other girls but her being comfortable with him made him happy.
"A date with a Weasley , without food? Have you met our mother woman?" Hermione laughed.
"You have a fair point there." She admitted.
They walked for a while and talked as they did. Hermione told him about her parents and her life . She was surprised how interesting muggle customs were to him. Like father, like son.
Fred stopped as they reached a lake. He waved his wand and a picnic basket appeared on top of a red and white checkered fabric.
"I know it's not much but-" Hermione placed a kiss on his cheek.
"It's perfect."
She sat down on the fabric and looked at the basket.
"So , what are we eating?" Fred brought the basket in front of her.
"Whatever you want." He simply answered. She raised an eyebrow.
She opened the basket and put her hand in it. After a few seconds she pulled her hand out with a dish of fish and chips.
"Brilliant magic." She said as she placed the dish on her side.
"Thank you." Fred bowed his head. She opened her eyes wide in shock.
"You and George made this?!" He nodded. As he took his part of the diner.
"Brilliant Fred, really brilliant."
They talked for hours about everything. And she looked at him with guilt in her eyes.
"What is it love?" He asked concerned.
"We'll have to leave… After the wedding probably." He knew they'd have to leave eventually but hearing it from her made his heart drop.
"I is exactly why my next action is quite critical. Yet if you want me to stop at any point you just need to tell me." He schooched over to get closer to her. She didn't break eye contact.
He placed his hand on her cheek. She closed her eyes with his touch.
"Like I said, you just need to tell me if you want me to stop. But I just need to know what it feels like before you go." She could feel his breath on her lips.
She placed her hand on his face and this was all he needed.
He pressed his lips softly on hers as his hand moved behind her ear moving around her hair.
Her hand was already at the nape of his neck pulling him closer.
She parted her lips for him and their tongues started to dance in harmony.
Without breaking the kiss she wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her legs around his body , sitting on his lap.
His hands were pulling her close as they were trying to find their way on her back.
With the heat of the moment she let out a small moan and grinded against his body , feeling him.
He was trying so hard not to take another step forward in this kiss. He brought his hands back to her face and broke apart not moving away but resting his forehead on hers.
"That was-" Hermione started.
"Amazing. You are amazing." Fred said, placing another kiss on her lips.
"Another one!" George smashed the newspaper on the coffee table. Pulled from his memories Fred took it and read it.
Wizard Trying To Visit Muggle World Sent To Azkaban
"Georgie?" Fred looked at his brother.
"Yes Freddie." He sat down on the couch.
"Is this our life now? Without them? I am starting to lose hope mate and I don't want to but it seems even if I try I'll be sent to Azkaban without even seeing her and-" he couldn't help the tears started to sob in front of his twin.
"There must be a way.." George said.
"We can't lose hope Freddie, you promised remember."
"Hermione Jean Granger , muggle-born." They brought her into the courtroom and an evil grin appeared on Umbridge's face.
"Miss Granger, is this your wand?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me from which witch or wizard you stole it from?"
"I didn't steal is mine."
" can not own wands. So you stole it."
"I did not steal it."
"Verdict: Guilty. This muggle will be stripped from her magical abilities which she apparently stole from another witch or wizard. And will be shunned to the muggle world." Hermione expected this.
But obviously Fred was not.
"No!No!You can't!" She turned her head to face him. And shook her mouthed;
"It's ok."
"Silence in the courtroom!" Umbridge yelled with a wave of her wand.
With a painful whimper Fred fell down on to his knees.
"No! Please don't. I'll go to the muggle world." Hermione begged.
Umbridge pointed her wand at Hermione and flicked it. The pain was bearable at first but after the first 30 seconds it became excruciating. Her screams were deafening.
"Stop it! Stop it!" Fred was trying to run to her but was stopped by the guards.
As they dragged her out half conscious she managed to look at him.
"Promise me you won't give up."
"Promise."
