Hermione emerged from Professor McGonagall's office after being caught up in one of the twins' stupid pranks. She was really worried that her record was put at risk but McGonagall explained that she would have detention and it would be further overlooked. She closed the door and jumped in surprise.
"Hermione!" Fred shouted and leaped up from his spot on the ground.
She merely looked at him for a brief second and then walked in the direction of the Gryffindor Common Room, ignoring him call her name. Until he slipped in front of her, that is. She tried to sidestep him multiple time but he moved with her, causing her fury to rise.
"What?" She asked, irritated.
"I uh-wanted to apologise for getting you involved." He said, rubbing his neck and looking off to the side.
"Huh?" She gawked, not believing what she was hearing. She then put a hand up to his forehead to check his temperature, not in a mocking way but to actually check. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm feeling perfectly okay, thank you very much." He stated, brushing her hand aside.
"I'm sorry, I just haven't heard you apologise. Ever." She giggled, putting a hand to her mouth.
"Yeah, well, it happens." He shrugged.
"I guess it does." She nodded, smiling.
The two then headed to their common room together.
"So, anyways, I'm sorry." He said, awkwardly.
"You are forgiven." She replied.
"Phew, I don't think I could take you hating me." Fred said, absentmindedly.
"Oh, really. Is that so?" She smirked and watched him crumble as he realised what he had said.
"Wh-whatever." He muttered, before quickly changing the subject. "So, Hermione Granger in detention, again."
"Ugh, don't remind me!" She sighed, running a hand down her face, dramatically.
"Admit it, it was funny." Fred said, nudging her.
"The prank on Snape, yes. The getting caught, not so much." She said, nudging him back.
With that, they continued the walk back, laughing and chatting.
