Yet another silly one shot. I'm trying to get used to writing the character of Fred so I'm going to keep writing until I'm satisfied.

"Will you marry me, Hermione?"

Hermione Granger stared down at the man before her. He was smiling nervously up at her clutching a ring waiting for her answer. Hermione inwardly cursed herself for getting into this situation. Months ago she had seriously thought about telling the Weasley's about the man she loved. Their secret relationship had been going so well until Ron shocked her with a spontaneous proposal. To make matters worse he had decided to propose in front of his entire family leaving the girl speechless.

Hermione glanced up and saw Mrs. Weasley who was smiling and looked like she might cry while her husband looked extremely confused. Bill, Charlie and Percy were looking at her at impatiently waiting for her to respond. Her eyes then landed on Fred who was sitting next to his twin. His eyes danced with amusement but she could tell he was thinking the same thing she was: Bugger.

"Hermione?" Ron called from his position on the floor. Her eyes flew back to him, to the ring he was holding and to the hopeful look on his face, "I've loved you forever. Will you marry me?"

Hermione took a deep breath before her eyes met Fred's. His lips twitched as if he were about to laugh but he made no move to help her out in this situation. Complete arse! She looked back down at Ron and sighed, this wasn't going to go well.

"Ron, I can't marry you. I'm sorry." Hermione knew even saying the words he would push as to why she couldn't and it would make matters worse.

"We're perfect for each other! It's always been just you and me." The hopeful look in his eyes was slowly fading. "Why?"

"I'm already engaged." She mumbled with a cringe, she knew Ron wasn't going to take this well. If only Fred would get up and do something to help her! Hermione's eyes met his and he remained silent watching the scene before him. He's evil!

Ron frowned as disbelief flooded his face. "To who?"

Hermione's eyes once more moved to meet Fred's glance but he still remained silent. She sighed, bracing herself for the yelling that was about to happen, "Fred."

"WHAT?" Ron shouted standing up and turning to his brother. Mrs. Weasley turned to Fred as well, her glare fierce.

"YOU GOT ENGAGED AND DIDN'T TELL YOUR OWN MOTHER?" Hermione was almost positive that the tiny woman's yell had shaken the house.

With all eyes now on Fred he paled. With a tiny wave and a sheepish grin he finally spoke, "Surprise?"

Oh, he was SO going to get it later.
