Still Into You

31. The Kiss

You stood up and walked away. It still didn't seem real. He had actually kissed you. You decided to go find Ginny or Hermione, whichever one you found first. 

"Hermione."

"Hey y/n-"

She was smiling and talking to her friends until she saw your face.

"Is everything okay?"

Hermione inquired

"Yeah, yeah. Can I talk to you alone for a minute? If you're busy that's fine."

"No, no of course!"

Hermione followed you to the library where the two of you sat down.

"Are you sure you're okay? You look a bit shaken up."

Hermione coaxed.

"It's nothing super serious, don't worry."

You clarified.

"I ran into Fred when I was looking for Oliver. He was looking for Angelina."

Hermione scoffed at the mention of Angelina.

"We ended up looking for them together. We eventually found them... They were snogging on the floor."

"No!"

Hermione gasped. She was the perfect audience.

"So Oliver cheated on me with Angelina."

"Oh, y/n I'm so sorry."

"I knew I didn't want anything serious with Oliver, but it doesn't make it a whole lot easier. Here's the good part."

Hermione leaned in, very invested in the story.

"I walked away from the Oliver and Angelina. Apparently Angelina had convinced him that I had been shagging Fred. I walked down a hall and sat down and Fred sat next to me. We didn't really talk much. And then, after sitting in a bit of silence..."

"Come on y/n/n I'm on the edge of my seat!"

Hermione whined.

"Fred kissed me."

Hermione squealed loudly, earing a rude remark from the librarian. 

"He kissed me, but then he apologized. He left right after that."

Hermione's jaw fell open. 

"He just, left?"

You nodded in response.

"Have you talked to him about it?"

"It happened only a little bit ago. I went to find you first."

"Maybe give him some time. He's probably just a little confused."

Hermione reassured you.

"Thanks Mione."

The two of you worked on some homework, but you were too distracted to get much done. 

Maybe he regrets it. He had just been broken up with, and she cheated on him. His emotions were probably high, and he wanted to get back at her.

You mind was all over the place, jumping to conclusions.

*Fred's POV*

I rushed away as soon as I kissed her. This was what I had been wanting to do for years, and I just ran away? My mind was buzzing when I ran into George and Lee. 

"Hey mate, we were just working on a new product for the shop."

George whispered.

"Yeah, yeah that sounds great."
