Don’t You Know You’ve Got the Best of Me?

by Raquians

“Oh, my poor old heart can't take this," Fred says, clutching his chest.
"You're thirteen," Hermione scoffs, rolling her eyes. "There's nothing old about you."
"I'm a twin. Combined we're twenty-six years old."
"That's still not old, and that's still not how it works."

*\

(or: the rewrite of the books where the twins befriend hermione early on. some things change, some things stay the same, some things... do a little bit of both.)

This fanfic was amazing! Highly Recommend!

favorite quote


“ Fred gets up while she's packing up her books, and turns to leave. He hesitates. "Hermione?"

"Hm?"

"They can't just send you back to your old world. This is your world, too. It's not… temporary." He shifts his weight and stares at her with a meaningful look in his eye. "Hogwarts or no Hogwarts, you'll never just suddenly belong in the Muggle world, because it was never yours. The Wizarding world has just been waiting for you to arrive."

Spanish/English Review.

Una historia muy dulce y muy bonita. No se dejen engañar, serán pocos capítulos (uno por libro) pero está lleno de historia y desarrollo entre nuestros personajes principales. Y aunque no es mi usual Dramione, leer acerca de Fred y Hermione fue igual de bueno.

Vemos esta relación desarrollarse en sus años escolares, desde que Hermione se sienta en la mesa de Gryffindor, hasta la batalla de Hogwarts. Hay un par de epílogos y one-shots adicionales, pero no he tenido la oportunidad de leerlos aún.

Una historia tan bella, que con solo el nombre wow. El desarrollo entre estos dos, así como sus relaciones con otros personajes se siente tan natural y tan real. Lo recomiendo totalmente aunque no seas fan de esta pareja.

Esperen un review en Youtube muy pronto!

A very soft, very beautiful fic. Don't be fooled, there may be few chapters (one per book) but it is full of story and development between our main characters. And though it is not my usual Dramione read, reading Fred and Hermione was just as good.

We see their relationship develop through their school years, from when Hermione sits at the Gryffindor table, until the Battle of Hogwarts. There are some epilogues and additional one-shots, but I haven't gotten around to read them yet.

Such a beautiful story, just the name is *chef's kiss. The development between these two, as well as their relationships with other characters feels so natural and felt all too real. I recommend this wholly even if this is not a pairing you ship.

I’ve read this book multiple times now and ever so often I get in the mood to read it again. I love that it is short and has all the important parts of the plot but I still wish it was longer. A positive of this story is that it is not like other hp books that are retelling the story. As in the author doesn’t repeat the unnecessary parts of the books that we have all already read and that don’t change. But that being said I always wish for more every time I finish it. Since I have read this book multiple times I know exactly what happens but Alicia’s death gets me every time and I while I know that no matter how many times I read the book it won’t change I always wish that it doesn’t happen.

This was nice but not very memorable.
It was nice to see Hermione have friends apart from Harry and Ron tho, especially female friends.
The pacing was a bit off, sometimes too fast sometimes too slow. And Hermione and Fred were a bit too corny for my liking sometimes.
But it's a fast read, so it was worth it.

very characters based than plot based, but it’s done so well😭 u will love all the characters and the found family aspects in it

fred has a habit to call Hermione “Mine”

Best Friends to Lovers

fred is a green flag, (ex. when him and Hermione were still just best friends) he got jealous of Ron and Viktor at one point, but ultimately wanted Hermione happy so he didn’t do anything stupid

Cute and simple. If you're looking for a sweet Fred/Hermione pairing with no spice, this is a good option.
