Chapter One
Hermione rolled over and snuggled into her boyfriend, "Morning" he greeted her.
She opened her eyes, but before she could say a word a horrible wave of nausea came over her and she dashed into the bathroom. When she reached the toilet she emptied the contents of her stomach into it. She soon felt fingers rubbing soothing circles on her back and her hair was pulled back out of her face.
Once she had finished she moved over and sat back against the tub, "Water?" Fred asked holding a glass out to her. She took it and rinsed her mouth out.
He sat down next to her and she climbed into his lap, "I must have the flu."
"That or it could be all that weird Chinese food you ate last night." He laughed.
"Whatever it is I am taking the day off today, just in case. Not to mention I feel miserable."
"Well since you aren't going to go in do you want to keep me company in the shop?"
She contemplated this idea, "Yeah that sounds fine, I would rather be with you downstairs than up here all alone."
"Alright why don't you get a shower and I'll go make breakfast." He stood, and then helped her up.
She grimaced; thinking about the smell of eggs and bacon "Just orange juice and crackers for me, I don't think my stomach could handle much more than that right now."
"Sure love." He gave her a quick kiss then walked back into their bedroom.
Hermione took her clothes off and threw them into the laundry basket in the corner; she turned on the shower and waited a minute for it to warm up before stepping in. She washed her hair, body and face then just stood there for a while just letting the hot water soothe her. Once the hot water had run out she figured that she ought to be done and stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around her body.
She padded into her and Fred's bedroom going over to the dresser where she found a comfy pair of sweats and a Puddlemere United t-shirt she had stolen from Fred. She pulled her bushy hair back into a ponytail making it a bit more manageable. Once she had finished getting dressed she wrote a note to her boss at the ministry saying that she was sick and wouldn't be coming in today and then gave it to her owl to deliver.
She walked out into the kitchen where Fred was just finishing up his breakfast. She sat down at the table and took a sip of her orange juice, "Feeling better?" he asked.
"Yes the shower helped."
He checked his watch, "We should probably go ahead and open the shop. George will be here any minute."
"Alright." They both stood and walked down the stairs to the shop hand in hand. Fred went and unlocked the front door and Hermione went over to the counter and sat down deciding that she would man the register for the day.
Fred turned around and saw her seated their, "You don't have to work if you don't want to, especially since you aren't feeling well."
"It will keep me occupied, and I am actually starting to feel better. I must've just had some dodgy egg rolls."
"Suit yourself." He walked into the back room to take stock and Hermione waited for George.
After about five minutes the other Weasley twin walked in, "Hullo George." Greeted Hermione; not looking up from the Witch Weekly that she was currently reading.
He jumped, "Jeez Granger, do you enjoy scaring people this early in the morning."
"Well strictly speaking it's not that early" she looked at the clock on the wall "only eight thirty."
"Yeah, yeah whatever Granger."
Fred walked out from the storage room, "Finally decided to show up." He commented restocking the Puking Pastels.
"You know I think you two living together isn't working out. Her attitude is starting to rub off on you dear brother."
"I for one don't think that's a bad thing, at least one of you should be a tad bit serious." She commented.
"What are you doing here anyway?"
"I was feeling a bit under the weather this morning and didn't want to go into work, so Fred said I could help out here if I wanted." She explained.
He looked like he had just been slapped in the face, "Wait did I just here correctly? Hermione Granger is missing a day of work?"
"Yes she is, now will you go do your job for a change?" Fred answered as two teenage wizards walked in the shop.
George went to go assist him, "Is it really that shocking that I'm missing one day of work?" Hermione asked.
Fred leaned on the counter, "Well…yes actually." He laughed.
