Fast forward to 2nd year
Fred's POV
Everything was a disaster. Hermione was petrified, Mum hasn't stopped crying, Ginny was captured by god knows what and Harry and Ron disappeared god knows where (but I think the went to the Chamber of Secrets). Everybody seemed to know what was happening except for me and George, which kinda infuriating. I mean, my sister is in mortal danger and my brother might be in mortal danger AND I can't even talk to Hermione about this
I miss Hermione. I miss seeing and making her laugh. I miss being able to talk with her late at night in the common room. I even miss the times she would scold George and me whenever we pulled a prank. Until now, we are still very much afraid of her.
I just can't wait for the day the mandrakes are ready and Hermione was back to normal and scolding us again.
I visited her every single night. Sometimes with George but I more often by myself. Whenever I visit her I just keep babbling. Sometimes I even pause to wait for her reply which wasn't going to come. But that was alright, at least I still get to see her everyday.
Oh god listen to me, I sound like a lovesick fool
The first thing Fred did when Hermione was unpetrified was hug her. This of course caused a few eyebrows to go up, mainly Ginny's and Molly's.
The whole weasley family had gone home or went to their different dorms. Only Hermione and Fred stayed in the common room. The sat in silence for awhile both just thinking and processing everything that had happened that year
"I missed you Hermione. Quite a lot actually" Fred said breaking the silence
"Me too" she said red as a beet and resumed sitting in silence. When Hermione's eyelids began to drop she stood up
"Good night Fred" she said and tiptoed then kissed him on the cheek.
Fred knew she was going to do that. She did that every time she said good night. But the butterflies were always there in his stomach whenever she did it.
Hermione's POV
Well, I'm back to normal..I guess. This year went in a blur (mainly because I was petrified for quite sometime). Harry and Ron told me everything that happened and I can't help but feel sorry for Ginny. Her first year here and she got captured by Tom Riddle
Anyways. Fred's been really sweet these couple of days but to be honest, I think he's being a little too over protective to Ginny and myself. It's like he expects me to fall over, frozen or Ginny to disappear again. Whenever we're eating, he watches like a hawk. It'a a good thing it almost summer break again. I don't think I could survive his madness for a whole year. But I had to admit, it was kinda cute.
Even when I was petrified he visited me everyday. (People assume that I can't hear them but it's quite the opposite) Ron and Harry did that too but when Fred visited me.. it was different
It felt different when Fred said "I missed you Hermione". The feeling she got was different when Harry and Ron said it and she didn't know what you called that feeling
The weasleys, together with Harry and Hermione boarded the Hogwarts Express. Fred called out to Hermione
"So I'll see you later yeah?"
"Sure" she said with a grin
The twins left to look for Lee Jordan, Ginny and Percy went to look for their friends and Hermione, Ron and Harry stayed in one compartment.
When they finally reached King's Cross Station, the Weasleys and Harry and Hermione grouped together again to say their goodbyes
"Don't forget to write to me! Both of you!" Ron said with a glare at Harry and Hermione
"I'll try Ron, you know my aunt and uncle" Harry said sadly
"Bye Hermione!" Ginny hugged her tightly. The grew rather close towards the end of their school year
"Good bye Ginny. Remember you can write to me whenever you want okay?"
"Okay. I'm gonna miss you Hermione"
"Hey Hermione! Don't we get a hug too?" George asked and Hermione bear hugged him
"I'm gonna miss you George"
"Me too?
"Definitely Fred. Thanks for...everything"
"My pleasure Hermione" she tiptoed and gave him a peck on the cheek as always
"Fred don't get mad, but are you with Hermione?" Ginny asked innocently
"Wh-WHAT? No of course not Ginny"
"But she kissed you on the cheek!"
"Yeah so?"
"Nothing" she grinned mischievously and left her brother. There are two things you have to know about Ginny Weasley. One: She is very observant. Two: She loves playing matchmaker. She knows when two people like each other, even if those two don't even know it yet and to Ginny, she felt like it was her personal job to get those two together. Even if it meant doing whatever it may take.
Fred stared at his sister. He knew that smile! And he knows she's planning something either very good or very bad. He just prayed it was something good.
"Fred, sweetie, are you with Hermione?" this time it was her mother who asked
"NO mum" he said getting rather annoyed. Was Ginny and her mother planning something?
"Well it seems like it"
"Fred-
"Ron if you're gonna ask me if I'm with Hermione I'm seriously gonna kill you"
"WHAT? You're with Hermione?"
"NO"
"Oh" Ron looked relieved "But I'm not here to ask you that."
"So what is it then?" he was already in foul mood
"Can I borrow your broom?" Ron asked with a hopeful look on his face
"No"
"But why?"
"Because I feel like saying no"
I don't know if I like this chapter or not. What do you think? Please review :)
