A/N- NO FLAMES PLEASE :D Criticism is welcome but flames are not ^^

Maggie-I know I do. It's just I don't want people wondering why the Malfoy's were at the party,stuff like that, I wanted to tie up loose ends and it plays a role in the story later,or coming up. I know there was probably a better way to do it but...I didn't. Thank you for pointing that out to me though. I really do appreciate it. ~Victoire who hopes you enjoy this chapter, everyone :D (P.s. Thanks for the review ^^)
**HERMIONE POV**
I was in the kitchen with Mrs. Weasley, the 'get together' already starting. It seemed like everyone was there, there were too many people for me to handle. She had made us all dress up nice so I had on a pair of nice black pants and a sleeveless pink top. I charmed my hair into soft curls. I hummed to myself quietly as I started washing the dishes by hand. "Hermione, dear, you should go out there with your friends." Mrs. Weasley said, waving her wand so the dishes suddenly started doing themselves. I sighed and stepped away.

"Oh no, I'm good Mrs. Weasley. You on the other hand, have children and a grand baby on the way. You should go celebrate with you husband and your friends and your children. I can talk to them anytime, I want to do something nice for you too. For you letting me stay here. Let me fix lunch, it isn't hard. I have magic to help me if I always need it." I said ushering her out of the kitchen, I really could do with a bit of alone time. I didn't mind one bit that I was keeping myself busy. "But dear-" She started and I shook my head. "Look,there's Fleur! And look there's Teddy over there with her. She's due anytime." I said and she headed right over to where her daughter in law is. I sighed in relief as I went back over to the dishes, starting to do them by hand.

I hummed softly to myself as I focused on working on the food. I reached for a knife and frowned when it moved. I glared over at the boy that had, at some point, come into the kitchen just to mess with me. "Fred." I sighed as he levitated just high enough so I couldn't reach it if I jumped. "Yes Mione?" He asked with a smirk as he watched me in amusement. I pouted at him and gave him my puppy dog look, this is how I got any of those boys to do what I wanted. That and the fact I threaten to hex them into next week, which I think I could do. I smiled at the thought and glared at him as I got my wand out. "Fred. I will hex you." I said and then stayed silent, thinking about it. "Or I'll go get your mother." I continued with an evil grin. He glared at me and put down the knife. "That's low Mione. You know that. You really need to get out more, get the humor in things." He grumbled.

I rolled my eyes as I started on the food again. "I do see the humor in things, doesn't mean I like to be messed with though. Fred can you give me a hand?" I asked as I looked out the kitchen, seeing how many people there really were. "Sorry, those don't just become unattached." He joked, starting to help me anyways. "Oh Fred, when are you ever going to grow up?" I asked him teasingly and he looked at me, letting out a big laugh. "Mum says it's when I find the right person. I don't believe her though." He said with a wink.

"Oh? And why not? I believe the right girl could change you, and George. You see the way he changes when Angelina's around. He just changes enough so he doesn't seem too immature. He doesn't speak a lot either, he gets too flustered, thinking he will say the wrong thing." I pointed out with a smile and he stopped what he was doing, thinking about it. "You're right! I never even noticed anymore. My own twin! And it was right under my nose the whole time! How do you bloody know everything?" He asked with a frown as he got back to work, obviously still pondering it. "It's just easy to tell. The signs are so obvious. Or maybe because I'm a girl. Girl's tend to notice that sort of thing, unless it's about them. I'm pretty bright so I know when guys are attracted to me, and now after the war...Everyone seems to be attracted to me just because I helped save the wizarding world. It's a pity really, some blokes are really nice, they're just not attracted to me because of my quirks. It's going to be hard now that Ron and Luna are starting to blossom and it didn't end up being Ron and I, like everyone assumed." I chuckled, not really comprehending who I was talking to.

I blushed and looked at him and then looked away. "I'm sorry about getting off topic like that." I mumbled, not believing I just said all of that to the prankster extraordinaire, Fred Weasley. I expected to never be able to live it down. That he would go tell George and then I would be teased about it until the day that I die. I didn't expect his response. "It's alright, I don't think I've ever actually heard you talk about something like this, that isn't about school in some way or form. Or about the war, this is a new topic for us." He said with a soft smile. "You're beautiful and smart, maybe a tad bit too stubborn for your own good but, there will be someone out there who will like you. Not for your looks or because you are friends with Harry or because you helped save the wizarding world. They will like you for your little quirks, for how you get trapped in your books, and stay up all night just to finish a book when you promise you'll only read for a few more minutes, and how you argue even when you know you're wrong, and how you blush at the stupidest things." He chuckled and I froze. I wasn't expecting to hear any of that from him. I walked over to him and hugged him, he was a good friend sometimes, I never really thought much of him until the war, it brought everyone closer. He hugged me back. "Geez Mione, this is so touching." He teased.

Someone from the kitchen door cleared their throat and we jumped apart, I was blushing even though really there was no reason to, I didn't blush when I hugged anyone else."Hope I'm not interrupting anything." Mrs. Weasley said with a twinkle in her eyes. I frowned and shook my head. "No mum, you didn't interrupt anything." Fred grumbled rolling his eyes as his mother let out a laugh. "We are almost done Mrs. Weasley." I said softly as she looked around. "Fred it was so nice of you to help Hermione! She was being so stubborn, not wanting me to help her. But I will help you two finish up now.!" She said as she started using magic to finish things up, of course Fred and I helping her,, there was no escaping.

**Fred POV**
"How are we the ones stuck cleaning up while everyone else is out there having a good time?" George grumbled as I looked out to the living room, seeing Hermione looking uncomfortable standing around with Ginny and Neville. I snorted and rolled my eyes. "What, since the war is over is everyone confessing their undying love for each other?" I asked sarcastically as I looked around. Harry was with Draco, dammit Hermione was right about him being gay, Ron with Luna, Neville and Gin. "Seems like it." George replied chuckling as he threw the dishrag at me. "Now get to work! I'm not doing all of this by myself!" He grumbled and I rolled my eyes, starting to scrub at the dirty dishes.

"I don't see why I have to help, I was in here with Hermione cooking and cleaning before hand." I grumbled as I handed a dish to my twin. "Speaking of which Mione and I were talking...Do you fancy Angelina? Why didn't you tell me you git? I am your only twin!"I said hitting him on the arm, seeing his face turn red was highly amusing. "I-What?What the hell are you going on about? I don't like Angelina! Where did you even hear that from? O-Of course I would tell you if I liked your kind of ex girlfriend. I'm not a bad twin." He rambled, his face growing redder by the second. "It's okay. Hermione and I were talking about girl's and how you acted differently around her. I'm okay that you fancy her." I chuckled and hen suddenly something came into my mind, something about what Hermione said the other day, about returning to Hogwarts, I had actually thought about that, about going back to Hogwarts. Maybe I would. George was talking, but I wasn't listening. "I need to talk to you." I stopped him suddenly. "About what?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "I'm thinking about going back to Hogwarts. No, I've decided I'm going to. I think it would be good for one of us to, so I can perform more advanced potions for products. You have Lee too. And I've already decided, when we get back to the shop I'll owl McGonagall, I need to tell mum though." I said and he looked at me, searching my face for any hint of joking.

"You're serious?You're going back to that awful place! Merlin, what is wrong with you? Is my twin sick?" He asked looking at me as if I was mad. I shook my head and laughed. "I am going back, I think... I just want to." I said slowly, shrugging my shoulders. A look crossed over his face, something I couldn't tell. "Is it.." He trailed off looking around. "About a girl?" He asked lowering his voice. I looked at him and let out a laugh. "No! Of course not! What girl would I fancy who still goes there? You're a laugh, now you be the good twin and finish up the dishes while I go talk to our lovely mum." I said walking away, ignoring his protests.

Mum took it well, almost crushing me in a hug. She didn't have to bloody announce it to the whole room though. Hermione was smiling when she announced it, it made me smile a bit. When George and I got back to the shop I owled McGonagall, asking if it was okay. I was a special case so she accepted, as long as I wouldn't prank everyone and scare off the first years. I sent back that I couldn't promise it, I bet she let out a sigh as she received the owl. I grinned and turned off the light. "Night Forge!" I yelled to my twin. "Night Gred!" He yelled in return. I somehow thought things would change, maybe this is what growing up feels like. No, I chuckled to myself as I rolled over. I wouldn't ever grow up.

So what do you think? :D Reviews are appreciated. But so is just reading this :P Thank you ^^ ~Victoire
