A/N: Hey everybody! This is just a short collection of drabbles written for the Rainy Day Challenge. I know the length is a little longer than most drabbles though. I'm going to write them for Fred/Hermione and James/Lily. I have not written any James and Lily fics, so I hope they will turn out ok! The first chapter will be Fred and Hermione. Hermione and Fred have been best friends since before Hogwarts. I also tried to use the beginning of Sweet Home Alabama here. Enjoy! Please leave a review! Disclaimer: I own nothing. Rowling owns Harry Potter.

Chapter 1: Why Do You Want to Marry Me?

Hermione Granger thought she had the best life ever at nine years old. She lived only five minutes away from her best friends, Fred and George Weasley. Her parents got along, and they had respectable jobs. They were both dentists. The only thing that could be better was her friend staying here instead of going away to school. She had no idea where they went, though Fred promised that he would tell her everything one day.

He came around to her place early that morning and knocked on her door. Her mother answered the door. "Can Hermione come out and play today?"

Hermione's heart leapt and she quickly got off the chair she was reading on. "Can I mom? Please? Oh, please, oh, please?" Her mother glanced at the clouds and then at her daughter's happy face.

"All right. But you come back if it starts thundering. I don't want you two to be out in a storm."

Hermione jumped up and down in excitement and ran to get her coat before going outside. Fred grabbed her hand and started running towards the woods. "Come on! Let's go to the tree house!" Her eyes brightened at the idea, and they took off running.

An hour later, the two friends climbed down the tree house. Hermione learned that her best friend had gone to a school called Hogwarts, and he was a wizard like the rest of his family. He told her that she probably was a witch too since she was already beginning to do some magic. She didn't like believing things without proof, but Hermione believed her friend. He also admitted a secret; that he liked her and wanted to marry her one day. Those words made her giggle, but she tried not to giggle out loud because she did not want to hurt her best friend's feelings.

Thunder sounded from a distance, and Fred's eyes got round. "We have to get back!" He shouted as it started to rain. Lightening struck the ground about three feet away, and Hermione screamed and froze in place. She hated storms!

"Hermione!" Fred shouted, running towards her. He grabbed her hand and they took off running. They made their way toward the lake that was in between their houses. Hermione had to know something though, so she stopped her friend even though it was pouring out.

"Why do you want to want to marry me anyhow?" She asked, doing her best to give her best friend a charming smile. She wanted to get this secret out of him; he wouldn't answer her earlier when she asked him. Fred stopped in his tracks nervously and looked down at her as if he was seeing her for the first time. Her heart quickened when he gave her one of his crooked grins and brushed a strand of hair out of her face.

"So I can kiss you anytime I want," he answered in a confident tone. He inched closer to her, and Hermione widened her eyes in surprise when he started to lower his head. Was he going to kiss her? She wondered frantically. She didn't have to wonder for long though. He placed his lips on hers and kissed her gently. Hermione stopped thinking and closed her eyes to kiss him back. Just as she did, lightening struck the ground next to them. It nearly threw them apart, but Fred caught her just before she went flying back.

"Come on, let's go to my house! My mother can let your mom know where you are at!"

A/N: Thanks for reading! Chapter two will be up soon!
