This was written for the drabble tag thread in HPFC. It's not the best, but I still think it's ok to publish. The word count had to be less than 500 words. Milly's prompt was Fremione and anything AU. My favorite AU is the Fred is alive AU. This was also written for the procrastination competition. Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does.
Fred was teaching Hermione how to fly a few months after the war ended. "There you go! You've got it now, Hermione!" Fred cheered from the ground. He had been teaching Hermione how to fly all afternoon, though she wondered why she let him talk her into it. Her crush on him may have had something to do with it though.
Hermione beamed, though she still felt a little flustered at being so high up from the ground. She looked down and her mind suddenly decided that it had had enough of being in the air. She could feel a panic attack coming along and swallowed."I…don't… think I can do this anymore, Fred. Please get me down!"
"Just a few more minutes!" Fred called from the ground.
"No…please tell me how to get down now!" She frantically tried to lower herself back toward the ground, but the broomstick went even higher and it soared toward a tree.
"Hermione!" Fred's voice sounded frantic and he started running after her. "Oh, this is stupid. Accio, broom!" he shouted, and she heard his broomstick soar toward him.
Hermione tried braking the broom, but it was too late. It hit the tree, and she fell ten feet. She landed on the ground with a thud and carefully moved each arm and leg when she got over the shock of falling. She winced when pain shot up through her wrist, though she knew it was most likely just bruised.
"I'm so sorry!" Fred said when he reached her finally. "Are you ok?"
Hermione swallowed and nodded. "Yes. I think my pride is damaged though."
Fred hugged her in relief, and she couldn't help but smile when he held her in his arms. She cleared her throat nervously when he looked at her again. "You could kiss me and make it all better," she muttered softly.
Fred's eyes widened in surprise. "Wh..what?" he stammered in surprise. They both knew that he heard every word she just said. He lowered his head and kissed her lips softly. Her heart soared, and she allowed the kiss to continue for a few more seconds.
He was grinning at her when she pulled away. "Do you feel better?" he asked her in an amused tone.
"A little," Hermione answered honestly.
"Would you feel better if you went on a date with me?" Fred asked as his eyes twinkled.
"I thought you'd never ask."
