Alright. Here's another story from meee :) I just can't keep this to myself. I thought of the idea this morning and I just have to do this immediately. I hope I won't regret posting this. I still have "A Year to Remember" which is currently in its second chapter. I might get a bit confused as to what should I write first. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: HP's not mine. I'm not JK. Let's not make this too long.
"Fred Weasley!" a very livid Hermione Granger shouted from the portrait hole. All the occupants looked at her. They seemed to be waiting for a very entertaining and amusing confrontation between the two. Fred, who was sitting with his twin and Lee Jordan, looked up at her and smirked. He stood up and sauntered toward the red-faced (from anger, I tell you) Gryffindor Prefect.
"What is it my lovely Hermione?" asked Fred in an overly dramatic way which made some of the spectators snigger and the others shake their head from Fred's stupidity.
"Why did you prank those Ravenclaws?! You could have been given detention by that foul old bat!" Hermione referred to Umbridge.
Fred smiled at her. "Concerned are you?" he teased in a low voice so that the others wouldn't be able to hear. Hermione blushed. "O –of course I am!" stuttered Hermione. "I mean, we all know that Umbridge is evil! You know what he did to Harry! I'm only looking out for your safety. I just don't want her to have a reason to punish students in that horrible way." Realizing that she was only focusing on being a concerned friend rather than a disciplining Prefect, she added, "And you wouldn't get away with what you did Fred! I'll still deduct ten points from Gryffindor."
"Do what you wish Perfect Prefect Hermione Granger." Fred answered with a cocky grin. Hermione left with her nose high up in the air, not noticing Fred's affectionate gaze on her.
After their encounter in the common room, Hermione decided to stay at the library for a bit of light reading (and of course, peace). She was already on her second book when she heard a loud bang which was followed by earsplitting screeches just outside the library. Hermione immediately darted toward the library door to investigate on the commotion.
Three Ravenclaw girls were covered in what seemed like troll booger. Hermione closed her eyes in disgust. After a few moments, she decided to approach the screaming students. When they finally saw her, they glared at her as if it was all her fault they were covered in the disgusting booger-like substance.
Hermione just ignored their outraged gaze on her. "Who did this?" she simply asked.
"The twins! Obviously!" shrieked a very irate Ravenclaw. Hermione furiously walked away, leaving the girls to clean up themselves and looked for the source of her frustrations. She knew that they would be around. They would want to see their prank's success. Hermione thought of the secret passages near the library. Having a best friend who has a map of the school can be a very good advantage. She already knew hideouts where those two could possibly go. And there is only one passage near the library which they could hide in immediately if ever there would be somebody to look for them. She scampered toward the portrait in between the library door and the stairs. Hermione made sure not to make any noise so she wouldn't alert the twins of her presence.
She silently entered the entrance to their hideout. Voices. She heard the twins' voices. And then there's Lee as well. They're talking and laughing. Hermione gritted their teeth. How can they be happy about what they did!
"And what are we going to do next?" a very eager George asked. They haven't seen her yet. Fred was just about to speak when Hermione informed them of her presence by saying, "THERE WOULDN'T BE ANOTHER PRANK!"
Three heads immediately turned and looked at her. Their eyes were big and round; mouths hanging open. "Wh-what a-are you doing here?" "Blimey Granger!" "Hermione!" The three conspirators exclaimed.
"What did you do to those girls?! Why did you do that? Do you want to get into deep trouble?! I already talked to you about this Fred!" scolded Hermione as he looked directly at Fred.
"Well, sorry Hermione, but we only did this because –" George countered a bit sarcastically. Whatever he was supposed to say was cut off by FRed's loud cough. "I think it's probably better if you'll let me handle this one George." Fred commanded.
George looked hesitant at first but Fred looked at him with a determined gaze which made his twin sigh and mumble, "If you say so. Let's go Lee." The two stood up and were about to go when Hermione demanded, "And where do you think you're going?"
"Out?" Lee replied.
Hermione raised a brow and crossed her arms in front of her. "I didn't ask you to leave. Go back!" she ordered.
"Now, now Hermione. Don't be too harsh. We'll leave Fred here to discuss things with you." George added with a wink. "He'll be our spokesperson." With that, George and Lee rushed toward the exit even before Hermione could utter another word. She was just about to follow them when she felt Fred's hand on her wrist.
"What?!"
Fred just grinned at her. "You heard them. I'll be the spokesperson. Whatever it is you're going to say will be delivered to them in a short while."
Hermione growled. "They should be here!"
"No." he simply said.
"Alright! But you have to tell them what I'm going to tell you!"
"Sure Hermione. Clear as Harry's eyesight." Fred consented.
"That's not clear at all!" Hermione protested.
"If he's wearing glasses then."
"Good." Hermione did not know why in the world she's giving in to Fred's childishness. It's a mystery she cannot solve.
Alright! So what do you think? Please tell me.
