The Fremione Story

Year 4

I was distracted. Normally, Charms was my favorite subject. Now, I couldn't focus on the Accio Charm and instead was thinking about something else. SomeONE else to be exact. Fred Weasley, the boy I had been obsessed with since I first met him. I desperately wanted to go to the Yule Ball with him. If only Viktor Krum hadn't asked me first. I mean, sure, he was an international icon and to object of affection for millions of witches everywhere, but he was no Fred Weasley. Just then, Charms ended and the students flooded out of the classroom and into the corridors. I met up with Harry and Ron, who were debating Quidditch teams. "Oi, Mione, you going to the ball?" said Ron. "Actually, yes." I said. "Although I wish it was with Fred." I thought to myself. "Come on you lot, we have to get to Care of Magical Creatures before Hagrid freaks out." Harry said. I couldn't imagine Hagrid being mad, but I ran to catch up with the boys anyway, right into Fred Weasley. "Hey Mione, nice to see you!" Fred said, totally unfazed that I just knocked all of his books on the ground. "I'm so sorry Fred! Here, I'll help you pick these up!" I said, mortified. "Don't worry about it, Mione. Go to Care of Magical Creatures before Hagrid make you feed the Blast Ended Skrewts for fun!" Fred said, a mischievous smile on his gorgeous face. "Thanks Fred, see you later!" I yelled, running away like the embarrassed monkey I was. "You totally blew it, now he thinks you are a klutz!"I hurried to the clearing where Hagrid taught class and began to actually focus on lessons.

Later that night I was sitting in the Common Room reading Witch Weekly with Crookshanks purring on my lap. Just then, Fred walked in from the boys dormitory wearing Hogwarts PJs and slippers. "I thought I saw a light in here. What are you doing up Mione? It's almost midnight." Fred asked. "Sorry to wake you Fred, just having trouble sleeping is all." I told him. "Mione, is it true you are going to the Ball with Viktor Krum?" Fred asked. "Yes, but he asked me, I would rather go with somebody else." I said. "Well may I at least have one dance because something tells me Vikky isn't going to be that graceful." Fred chuckled. "Of course Fred, I would love that." I said, with a goofy smile on my face. "All right then, it's settled." Fred said. Then he kissed me on the cheek and proceeded to walk up to the boys dormitory again. I fell asleep feeling pure joy.

Finally, the day of the ball came. Ginny was helping me with my dress, which she said was going to dazzle Krum. I wanted to dazzle someone else. Ginny went off to find Neville. I looked at the time and realized I had to go to the Great Hall to walk in with Krum. I walked down the Grand Staircase. All eyes were on me, including Fred. Krum took my arm and walked me to the door. I looked back at Fred and he mouthed "You look beautiful." I smiled at him and walked through the door with Krum. During the ball, Krum and I danced but he was a boring date and kept looking at other girls. During a song break, Krum abandoned me entirely and went off to dance with Lavender Brown. I sat down dejected and alone. Just then, Fred, in his dashing black dress robes, approached me. "Did Vikky abandon you Mione?" Fred asked. "Yes Freddie, but now I'm not alone." I replied. "May I have this dance?" Fred asked shyly. "Definitely Freddie!" I said. We danced together to almost every song, much to the dismay of Ron and Harry, who both got dumped together. Later on, Fred asked me if I wanted to take a walk in the courtyard. "Of course I do!" I said. Fred took my hand and we walked in the courtyard among the snow. Fred looked at me seriously and I knew why. He kissed me full on the lips and I gladly returned it. Nothing could ever tarnish that perfect moment. "I love you Mione." Fred whispered. " I love you too Fred!" I exclaimed, overjoyed. Then we sat there, kissing, until the ball was over.
