Fred, George and Hermione were all standing in front of Mrs Wesley, Harry and Ron enduring her yells and cries. "I can't believe you think you can just take away my child like that Fred and George, What were you thinking!" Mrs Weasley was hysterical. "Look mum" George sighed "she's not even your daughter" "she's as good as" Mrs Weasley interrupted, George put his hand up to silence her but it did the complete opposite "Don't you dare put your hand up at me George Weasley!"
"MUM! Just hear us out would you" Fred bellowed, everyone fell silent.
"Thankyou Gred, as I was saying Hermione is 18 and it is legal for her to do whatever she wants, we moved out at 18 remember" Mrs Weasley huffed loudly in reply. "She will have a job with us and we'll pay her good money, she won't even have to pay rent, we will bring her down once a week for you to see we haven't hurt her in any way shape or form" George and Fred both turned to Hermione and winked.
Mrs Weasley let out a huge huff.
"Mrs Weasley, I'll be fine really. I'll make sure they look after me" Hermione said; pointing to Fred and George.
"Ok, Ok, since Hermione agrees with this I'll let you. But Hermione if you ever need anything don't be afraid to ask ok" Mrs Weasley said with her voice shaking as she caught Hermione in a rib crushing hug. "Thank- you- Mrs – Weasley" Hermione managed to choke out; Mrs Weasley was squeezing her to death.
"Mum you're- mum! Let go" Fred said prying his mother's hands off of Hermione. It took all four of Fred, George, Harry and Ron to get Mrs Weasley off the poor suffocating Hermione. "Come on mum. I'll get you some tea" Ron said leading her into the kitchen.
Harry walked up to her and gave her a massive bear hug "good luck 'Mione" He whispered into her ear. Then he walked up to Fred and George "You two look after her okay, if you don't I'll know" he stared the twins down then when Hermione's back was turned he made sure she couldn't hear, "remember, I did kill off Voldermort, I'm sure I could manage you two, however many pranks you pull." He patted them both on the shoulder and walked off humming. Fred and George just stared at each other with wide eyes.
"You'd think she was never going to see me again wouldn't you" Hermione said. The twins both shrugged "she just loves you 'Mione."
"I no" she replied. "Ready to go then?"
"Yep" they both said. Fred grabbed her old Hogwarts trunk and then took Hermione's hand and spun into nothingness. He felt the familiar feeling of being squeezed through a rubber tube and then release.
"OOF" all the air was taken out of Fred's lungs as he landed badly and fell onto his back taking all the wind out of him. "OUCH" screeched Hermione; when she landed she fell over Fred's feet and fell on top of him. Dammit what was with this position! Fred thought. His breath hitched as felt her warm breath on his neck he looked into Hermione's big brown doe eyes; he forgot how to breathe completely.
He heard a loud obnoxious cough from behind him. He just wanted everyone to piss off and leave them be. "Are you guy's right? Or am I interrupting something". "What the hell do you think my genius brother of mine" Fred wanted to say, no shout.
Hermione quickly wiggled around on him, trying to get off as quickly as she could (she really wasn't really making matters easier for Fred).
"Yeah we're good I just tripped again" said Hermione nervously.
"Again?" George raised his eyebrows. With that Hermione turned a deep shade of scarlet. From behind her back was Fred was waving his hands around furiously to try and get George to shut up!
"Oh okay. C'mon 'Mione let's get you settled in. Fred breathed out a huge thank you to George as he walked past. He didn't really fancy Hermione being completely awkward around them and then moving out because she was so embarrassed, so embarrassed that she couldn't even face Fred or George. No one wanted that.
"Close your eyes "Mione" George said "we want this to be a surprise" he winked at Fred.
"Oh I don't- Oh okay fine!" Hermione huffed as Fred went up behind her and placed his hands around her eyes. Fred could smell apples it must be her conditioner; he had seen it in the bathroom of the burrow. It was intoxicating; he couldn't get enough of it; of her.
George pushed the door of her new room open and Fred pushed himself into her guiding her where to go, then he took his hands away from her eyes and backing up to lean against the door frame; He wanted to admire her surprise.
He heard a small intake of breath. "Oh my- Fred, George? Did you two do this for me it's beautiful" she said while walking around the room in awe.
The room was big, very big. It had soft cream walls covered in pictures from her Hogwarts days with all her friends showing their happy faces and waving, a massive king size bed with a lilac bed spread and metallic purple pillows, two bookshelves already half full of books that Fred and George had sneaked out of her room from the burrow, On the other side of the room sitting opposite to her bed was a bathroom; it was simple but still beautifully designed with the traces of lilac the same colour of her bedspread sprinkled over the tiles to give it a summery light purple tinge and then lastly next to the bathroom was a huge walk in wardrobe. Hermione looked close to tears.
"Course we didn't 'Mione, We were just showing you this room, you're really living in the attack, we thought you might like the company of the spiders and rats" Fred said with a very handsome lopsided smile. Next thing he knew Hermione had launched herself at him and George, pulling them into a suffocating hug. "Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you!" squealed Hermione. Fred relished himself in her hug; closing his eyes and sniffing in her fantastic smell. "No worries love, anything for you. We thought we might as well give you a decent room since you're going to hate living with us" Fred joked and winked at her. Hermione pulled away and kissed them both on the cheek "I really don't know how I'm going to repay you guys. This really is wonderful". Fred wasn't listening anymore. He could still feel the warmth of Hermione lips on his cheek. His hand wandered up his face to the spot she had kissed. Then he felt a sharp sting on the side of his face. It was George's hand pulling him out of his daydream.
"You with me Freddie boy?" he heard his brothers voice. "What- ah yep sorry mate."
"You've 'gotta stop doing that Fred, it's creepy. You go all gaga and you're eyes glaze over. Hermione was worried; thought something was wrong."
"Oh" was all Fred had to say. Wait Hermione was worried? His stomach did a small happy dance. Wait why did he care? He didn't like her. No! That's right he doesn't like her.
"Where did she go Georgie" Fred said; he noticed she wasn't in her room anymore.
"Oh I sent her off the have a look at the place. I think she's gone down to the joke shop to have a squiz."
"Oh" was all Fred said again. "Man of many words isn't we" George teased but Fred didn't react. "Oh for God sake! C'mon!" George pulled Fred by the hood from his jacket and yanked him into the lounge room where Hermione was sitting on the couch looking through a Weasley, Wizard, and Wheezes brochure. Fred found his voice again. "So" he said traipsing over to the couch where he sat next to her, "how'd you like the place?"
"It's brilliant! I love what you two have done for yourselves Fred it really is great" she grinned at him. "Thanks. Me and George are pretty happy I wouldn't change it for anything". Hermione nodded. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I was worried about moving in and working with you two but no, I'm looking forward to this new life." This time it was Fred's turn to grin at her; he was glad she wanted to live with them and Fred was defiantly planning on keeping her that way.
"Oi kids."
"Yes Georgie?" Fred asked sweetly.
"We've gotta show Mione how to do her job for tomorrow. We won't have time in the morning and if we don't she'll be running around the shop causing havoc like she always does. Can't control yourself can you "Mione." George joked. Hermione giggled and walked out with George while Fred laged behind and followed the pair while they made their way down the stairs and into the shop. Keeping his feelings under control was going to be a lot harder than he thought.
