AUTHOR'S NOTE

I began this as a OneShot for Fred and Hermione, but I received several requests to extend. The last chapter ("Seventh Year: The Burrow") is the original story. Chapters that precede it are the new, expanded backstory. The latest edition is "Fourth Year: Apparate." Not all chapters are yet published, so know that you will encounter large gaps in time as you continue. All should still make sense as stand-alone chapters (or individual OneShots), but looked at as a whole will tell you the story of this couple's evolution. I've added HP book quotes for the respective timeframes as references.

Also, I've received a lot of notes begging that this story diverge from canon and keep Fred alive. Rest assured, my dear readers! I will either end the story before Fred's death or deviate from canon. I also could not relive that tragedy after writing a love story like this without thoroughly hating myself. :3

Please review and let me know your thoughts!

SUGGESTIONS:

I'm looking for suggestions of canon-compliant times when Hermione and Fred may have snuck off together to engage in a little "unsupervised frivolity." I've already posted one chapter based on your lovely ideas, and I'm ready for more.

Leave your ideas in the comments or message me, and I'll get my naughty, creative muse to work!

Thanks and hugs! Xoxo
