Fremione: Unlikely Pair

Chapter 3 (Hermione)

"Ugh my brother is such a git! You deserve so much more than that arse! I can't believe he did that!" Ginny rambled on but I didn't pay much attention because me mind kept flickering to Fred.
"Hermione?! Are you even listening to me?" Ginny questioned.
"Oh sorry Gin my heads just full of thoughts right now." I replied.
Ginny came and sat next to me on my bed "I understand 'Mione and I'll always be here for support," Ginny told me as she comforted me.

Finally it was time for dinner, I was starving. Ginny and I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen only to find Ron, Harry, Mrs Weasley and surprisingly Fred was down already too.
"Where are the others?" Ginny asked.
"Working overtime today, Ministry needs as much help as they can get," replies Harry as he grabs her hand and Ginny sits down. I am still standing lost in my thoughts.
"'Mione," someone says breaking me out of my thoughts. I look up and see Fred patting a seat next to him and I go sit down. Ginny and Harry are smirking as Ron scowls.

Dinner was pretty uneventful, but one great thing happened. Fred laughed and smiled, for the first time since the war. What was making him so happy? I thought but didn't say anything not wanting to ruin the moment. Then Fred got up and asked me if I wanted to go on a walk. I said yes,of course, and we left the Burrow. We walked on the trail through the forest talking about many different things. Then we saw a bench and sat down.
"Hermione?" Fred said quietly.
"Yes?" I asked
"Can you tell me about your dream?" he asked me.
"Uh, I-I guess so," I didn't really want to tell him but I knew he would not give it up. "Well, Bellatrix was there and I was with Ron and Harry surrounded by death eaters and uh," I paused and debated how I wanted to word this. "Basically Bellatrix tortured and almost killed you," I blurted out. 
He just sat there looking at me with a bit of shock on his perfect face.
" Why me though, why not Ron or Harry?" he finally said.
"I don't know Fred, I really don't know" I told him, but I actually did know. " I mean Bellatrix has been in my dreams like every night and" I started to ramble but stopped when Fred reached for me arm. He held my forearm in his big gentle hand and lifted up my sleeve revealing the word "Mudblood".
"Does it hurt 'Mione" he said and I swear I saw a tear form in his eye.
"Sometimes but it's more of mental then physical pain." I say holding back some tears.
Then he embraced me in a tight hug and I wanted to stay like that forever.
"I'm so sorry 'Mione, I wish I could have been there to protect you," Fred said.
"Fred you couldn't have protected me, Harry and Ron couldn't even." I told him.
"I guess you're right" he sighed. We sat their together in silence but it was nice not an awkward silence. Then I finally got up and Fred followed suit and we walked back to the Burrow in silence.

"Hello there girlfriend stealer and my slutty ex," Ron spat at us as we walked in the door.
"Ron, get over your self." I shot back
"No!You left me for my brother! How could you do that?" He questioned me.
"Let me remind you that you ended things not me," my voice started getting louder. Ron just got up and walked towards up and I tensed up afraid of what was coming. Fred then stepped in front of me.
"Ron calm down," Fred said calmly.
"No, you stole my girlfriend!" Ron yelled
"We aren't together mate," Fred said still calm but then Ron punched him on his cheekbone making Fred lose balance and fall the the ground.
"Have fun with my brother, slut!" he spat at me then stomped off into his room. I felt tears form in my eyes but I then knelt down next to Fred.
"You alright?" I asked.
"Yeah, you?" he then asked while blood trickled from his cheek.
"I'll be fine" I told him standing up and wetting a paper towel and grabbing an ice pack. I sat next to him and then cleaned his wound and handed him the ice pack.
"Thanks Mia" he said.
"Mia?" I looked at him with a puzzled face but the way he said it made my heart flutter and butterflies formed in my stomach.
"Yeah everyone calls you 'Mione I want to be different, but if you don't want me to call you that I won't" he told me.
"No No I like it." I smiled and then we stood up.
"Sorry again about Ron, he had no right to call you that, you definitely are not a slut." He said with a serious face.
"Fred really it's ok, Ron is just jealous." I told him. "Well it's getting late, Goodnight Fred."
"Night Mia" he said as he walked up the stairs.

I sat on the sofa for a couple minutes and just cried. How could Ron be so cruel? Me and Fred weren't even together. The drama queen. Finally, I got myself together and head to me and Ginny's room. I changed into pajamas and got into bed. Ginny was sound asleep but I just layed there my mind wondering off to many things but Fred was the main one. Finally, I was able to doze off.

Sorry Ron was a douche in this chapter just had to get him out of the way. Hope you are enjoying so far:)
