A/N: Hello everyone! I'm back! Although, you probably didn't know I was gone… Anyway, I got hooked on another "drabble" challenge, so here is the first of (hopefully!) fifty! They are all going to be in the same story, but each "chapter" will be a different story. I don't think these are going to be as connected as Iron Crosses was, but to make up for it they are much longer (And by longer I mean about 400 words versus 50-100 )! So, I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Obviously, none of this really belongs to me… I'm just borrowing from the lovely J.K. Rowling!
P.S. The prompt was Acrid…
To Prove a Point
"Please, 'Mione? It'll be fun, I promise!" Fred was practically on his knees, begging Hermione to help him with his newest idea for a prank.
Hermione, however, wasn't having any of it. "Ginny and I are going out tonight, remember?" She sighed. "Tell me again why George can't help you with this?"
"He'll mess it up!" Fred stated adamantly. "Every time we use this spell it goes wrong. You are the only person I know that can pull it off! Please, Hermione, for me?"
"Resorting to flattery, now, are you?" Fred smiled, making Hermione laugh. "Ginny and I have been planning this night for months now. You're not going to make me miss a night out with my best friend, are you?
"I thought I was your best friend…" He mumbled, just loud enough that Hermione could make out what he had said.
Hermione stepped closer to him. "You're my boyfriend, there's a slight difference." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek as she headed up to her room, leaving Fred to his plans.
She began getting ready for her night out when a knock on the door interrupted her. Ginny let herself in and sat on Hermione's bed.
"Merlin's beard, 'Mione, you are really slow! We have to leave soon, remember?"
"Don't blame me! Your brother kept me!"
Ginny shook her head. "I'm the priority tonight! We are having a girls night out, no talk of my brothers allowed! Now get dressed!"
"Yes Ma'am."
Hermione pulled a sweater out of her wardrobe and began pulling it over her head. She stopped midway, smelling something that just seemed … off. She sniffed her sweater, then looked at Ginny. "Do you smell that? It smells… acrid. Like smoke…"
Ginny nodded and together they walked downstairs, where they found Fred and George frantically trying to "Aguamenti" the flames on their robes. Hermione ran to them and stopped the flames from doing any more damage.
"Fred, what happened?"
He gave her a weak glare. "I told you we would mess this up without you!"
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Then why would you do it?"
"To prove a point."
"And your point was?"
"That I need you." Fred gave her a smile and pulled her into a hug. "I love you, 'Mione. Have fun tonight."
I hope you enjoyed it! Look for more to come periodically, so if you like it follow it! I am also doing this exact same challenge for the Dramione paring as well, so if you're a Dramione fan you should check those out too! Thanks for reading!
Peace and Love,
