Chapter 2: A New Threat
As they sat in the Three Broom Sticks, Fred and Hermione talked about their favorite things. "Which one of our Products do you like best?" Fred asked as he absentmindedly rested his hand on top of hers. "My favorite product of ya'lls would have to be your Wildfire Whiz-bangs, the magic ya'll used for them was amazing, watching them take the form of different animals was amazing especially when they went after Umbridge." Hermione said as she looked up at him.
Fred smiled and looked at her. "Fred while I was upstairs, did you find out who Ron is marrying?" Hermione asked as she looked back down at the table noticing that his hand was resting on top of hers she immediately slid her hand out from under his and placed her hands in her lap. "Yea, I heard who he was marrying, and it's one of the most interesting birds, you could ever meet." Fred said as he moved his to slowly raise her chin so that she was looking at him.
"Who exactly is he marrying?" She asked as she looked at him. "Luna Lovegood" He said in a disgusted tone and shivered. "I must say that will be one interesting wedding if Mum lets Luna plan it, which I don't really see happening, if Luna was in charge of planning that wedding I can almost guarantee that there would be radishes, for decorations." Fred said causing Hermione to laugh a real true laugh that he hadn't heard from her in a long time since the War had begun. "I must agree with you on that one Fred, Luna has some very interesting taste, I remember during my sixth-year Luna attended Slughorn's Christmas Party with Harry and she wore this dress that looked like it was made of plastic." Hermione said while laughing. Fred smiled and looked at her. As they were talking a loud explosion could be heard from outside The Three Broomsticks causing the two to jump and withdraw their wands from their pockets and rush out the door ready to fight whatever that was out there. Once outside they saw the remains of Zonko's Joke Shop still smoldering. "Hermione stay close to me, in case anything happens we need to make sure we don't get split up, but in case we do I want you to go straight to the ministry and inform them of what is going on." Fred said as he looked at her. "I'm not going to leave without you Fred, we almost lost you once, if anything happened to you, I don't know what I would do, or what I would tell everyone." She said as she looked at him. "Okay but stay close to me." Fred said as he kept his wand out and at the ready in case anyone was out there.
"Fred there's someone over there next to The Hogshead Inn." Hermione said as she saw someone moving. Fred nodded and grabbed her hand. "We need to get out of here now." Fred said as he apparated them to the Burrow. "Come on let's get inside, we need to inform Mum, and Dad about what happened." Fred said as he pulled her inside the house. "MUM, DAD." Fred yelled as he and Hermione ran into the living room. "What have I told you about yelling inside the house." said as she walked down the stairs with following behind her. "Sorry, but we have something to tell you." Fred said as he looked at his parents. "Well what is it?" asked as she noticed Fred and Hermione's hands entwined together. "While we were in Hogsmeade, there was an explosion, someone blew up Zonko's Joke Shop, and we saw someone hiding next to The Hogshead Inn." Fred said as he noticed his father's facial expressions change. "You don't think it was one of the many Death Eaters that are still out there do you?" asked as he sat down on the couch. "From what I saw they didn't cast the Dark Mark into the sky, this could be something totally new." Hermione said as she looked at . "Alright I'll alert the Minister in the morning, but as of now I don't want anyone going out alone, from now on everyone must have a buddy when they go anywhere. Oh and Hermione call me Arthur, you are family now." said as he got up from the couch and walked back up the stairs. "Fred I want you and George to stay here for the next couple of days at least until we know what we're up against. Oh and Hermione call me Molly." said as she went back upstairs. "Fred, I'm going to head on up and go to bed, I'll see you in the morning so that we can talk most likely your mum will want to see us so she can start planning our wedding." Hermione said as she reached up on her toes to kiss his cheek before walking to the stairs, before heading upstairs she turned around and looked at him. "Just so you know I had fun tonight before everything happened." She said then ran up the stairs to her and Ginny's room. "Oh come on open the door." Hermione said as she tried to open it finding it was locked. "Alohomora" Hermione said as she tried to unlock the door, "Why won't it work?" She asked as she tried to open the door again. "Locked out?" A voice behind her asked causing her to jump. "Geez, Fred you scared me, I didn't even hear you come up the stairs." Hermione said as she turned around to look at him. "Sorry, and again I ask are you locked out." Fred says as he looks at her. "Yes, I am locked out and I even tried Alohomora and the door is still locked." Hermione said as she gave a huff of frustration. "You won't be able to get in till morning when Ginny unlocks the door, she must have taken one of our new products, it's a type of lock the goes on the door knob completely sealing the door, so no one can get in making the room completely impenetrable until the lock is removed, we still haven't come up with a name for it." Fred said as he looked at the door. "So what am I supposed to do?" Hermione asked as she tapped her foot in frustration. "Come on you can stay in mine, and George's room, You can have my bed I'll sleep on the floor." Fred said as he looked at her. "Well what am I supposed to do for clothes, my pajamas are in Ginny's room." Hermione said as she looked up at him. "I'll lend you some stuff." Fred said as he took her hand, and walked with her to his room. "George, Hermione is locked out her and Ginny's room, so she's going to crash in here." Fred said as he walked into his room with Hermione. "Let me guess Ginny took one of our locks?" George asked as he noticed Fred holding Hermione's hand. "Yea, oh by the way Mum says we have to stay here for a few days, something happened tonight while Hermione and I were in Hogsmeade. While we were in The Three Broomsticks, there was an explosion, someone blew up Zonko's Joke Shop, and Mum wants us to stay here until we know what exactly is going on, and Dad says that if we do go anywhere we have to go someone we can't go alone." Fred said as he let Hermione's hand go and walked over to his dresser pulling one of his old Weasley Jumpers with the F on it out and a pair of pajama bottoms. "The jumper should fit you but you may have to transfigure the pajama bottoms." Fred said as he handed the clothes to Hermione. After changing Hermione walked back to the room and stopped outside the door when she heard Fred and George talking. "So how was it before all that happened tonight?" George asked as Fred pulled a pillow and a couple of blankets out of their closet and laid them on the floor at the foot of his bed. "It was fun, I got her to laugh, when we talked about who Ron is marrying." Fred said as he went back to his dresser and pulled out an out t-shirt and a pair of pajama bottoms. "I'm going to go change." Fred said as he walked towards the door and bumped into Hermione as she walked into the room. "Sorry didn't see you there." Hermione said as she acted as though she never heard their conversation. "It's okay Hermione, I'll see you in a few minutes." Fred said as he walked past her to the bathroom. "So did you have fun tonight?" George asked as he watched her walk over to Fred's bed and sit on it. "Yes I did up until the explosion happened." Hermione said as she looked at him. "Hermione can I ask you something?" George asked as he watched her play with the edge of the jumper she was wearing. "Well technically you did just me something but go ahead." Hermione said as she looked around the room. "What do you think of Fred?" George asked as he stared at her. "I think he is a great guy, and an amazing friend." Hermione said as she looked down at the Scarlet red and Gold comforter on the bed. "I'm back." Fred said as he walked into the room with a smile on his face.
"I think we should all get to bed before your Mum comes in here, besides we have to be up early to start planning." Hermione said as she crawled under the sheets and curled up on her side facing the wall.
"Good night Mione." The twins said at the same time. "Goodnight Fred, Goodnight George." Hermione said as she closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Fred and George were awakened from their sleep by Hermione screaming in her sleep. "Hermione wake up, come on wake up Hermione." Fred pleaded as he ran to her side and gently tried to shake her awake. "Come on Hermione, please wake up." Fred pleaded again as he sat down on the end of the bed and took her hand in his and used his other hand to shake her again, causing her to wake up gasping, and crying. "It was just a dream Hermione, you're okay." Fred said as he hugged her while she cried. "Are you alright?" Fred asked her as she pressed his face into her hair dropping a kiss to the top of her head, hoping to calm her down. As she nodded she looked up at him then she turned to look at George. "I'm sorry I woke ya'll up." She said as she wiped her face with the back of her hand. "It's okay, just so long as you're okay Hermione." George said as he kneeled down beside the bed and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm fine, I get nightmares about being in Malfoy Manor every now and then, and it always feels like I'm being tortured all over again." Hermione said as she looked at them. They nodded and looked at her. "Are you going to be alright going back to sleep?" Fred asked as he squeezed her hand. "I should be fine now." Hermione said as she squeezed his hand in return. "If you have another nightmare, we are always here to talk about it." George said as he patted her shoulder and got up to go back to his bed. "Fred can you lay here and talk with me until I fall asleep?" Hermione asked as she looked into his bright blue eyes. "Of course Hermione." Fred said as he released his grip on her hand and laid down next to her. "What's your favorite color?" Fred asked as starred up at the ceiling. "My favorite color is Blue." Hermione said as she yawned. "My favorite color is Blue as well." Fred said and smiled as he turned his head to look at her. "What's your favorite book?" Hermione asked as she looked at him. "My favorite book is Beating the Bludgers - A study of Defensive Strategies in Quidditch." Fred said as he watched her as she slowly began to fall asleep. "What is your favorite book?" Fred asked as he played with a strand of her hair. "I know ya'll tend to think my favorite book is Hogwarts: A History, but it's not my favorite book is actually Quidditch through the Ages." Hermione said as she closed her eyes as she started to drift off she heard Fred whisper in her ear. "Je serai toujours là pour vous protéger et prendre soin de vous , mon doux ange."
