A/N So I'm sick and while there's other things I should be doing I have been neglecting my fanfictions for too long! Enjoy and thank you for everyone who reviewed, and sorry for not taking the time to personally reply to each one like I usually do. ~V
~FRED POV~
"So mate did you have fun?" George asked as I entered our shared bedroom, locking the door behind me so mum wouldn't barge in the following morning. I gave him a blank look, not bothering to answer when I had no idea what he was talking about. Instead I laid down on my bed, expecting my beloved twin to continue. "With Hermione I mean, heard you took Mrs. Know-It-All on a ride." He finished and I let out a chuckle.
"Does nothing stay quiet here?" I asked in amusement as he glared at me, I obviously wasn't saying anything he wanted to hear come through his single ear. "What?" I asked innocently, or as innocently as I could which wasn't anywhere near how the girls looked when they acted that way. I knew it hadn't worked when my twin threw a pillow at me. "Why? I thought she was scared? Explain yourself! First you want to go back to Hogwarts, a school of learning, and then you choose to spend your time with her and not your favorite twin-"I cut him off. "But you're my only twin." I pointed out, earning a dirty look mum would be furious at. "As I was saying, and then you take her on a broom, and we all know how much she hates it. What is going on Gred?"
I stayed silent as I thought over his question. What was going on? "Great question Forge, I'm not sure really, but as soon as I am fifty one percent positive I will tell you." I answered within the next few minutes. "Which is more than half." I pointed out quickly before he could get a word in and he seemed to take it, he didn't look satisfied but it looked like he would deal with it. "Fine then." He said with a huff as he disappeared into our bathroom to get ready for bed.
I smiled slightly; even though I knew he was slightly more irritated with me than usual I'm glad he wasn't pushing this on me. "As soon as I'm sure myself I will tell you first." I said quietly, knowing he couldn't hear me. Was there really something happening? I shrugged my shoulders and pulled off my shirt, throwing it on the floor; we'd clean up tomorrow or something.
~~~
"Up, up get up! You are so lazy, both of you! Get your arses out of bed!" A voice yelled, making me jump out of the peaceful sleep I was thoroughly enjoying. I heard George groan from the other side of the room. "Where's the bloody snooze button on this thing?" He groaned and I let out a noise in agreement as I rolled over on my side. "Your room is a mess; don't you two ever clean it when you stay here?" The voice asked in a huff, and we both just let out a groan in response. Summer was coming to a close for me and I wanted to enjoy all the sleeping in I could get.
"It is past noon if you don't get up your mum gave me permission to hex you!" The nagging voice continued and I heard a thump from the other side of the room where George slept. "You need a bloody snooze button, I'm glad for the one ear; it means I can off it as not hearing you. Now get out of our room woman!" He huffed as he disappeared into our bathroom, or it's what I assumed from hearing a door slam.
"We lock our room at night for a reason." I said groggily, the first words I've said all morning as I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I let out a hum as I saw the fuming brunette girl, she did not look happy. "I know you do but we actually have things to do to get ready for Hogwarts and we've been waiting on you for two hours now! I've been trying to get you up for almost half an hour and you are lucky I am generous enough not to hex the both of you! Now you have five minutes to meet us downstairs before I come up and do something I shouldn't to you, and no breakfast since you have already delayed us so much. Understand?" She asked narrowing her chocolate brown eyes. "Yes dictator Mione." I said under my breath. "What was that?" She growled and I shook my head. "Nothing, I just said yes dear Mione."
I was downstairs right as Hermione was on the bottom step, coming to get me. "I'm here; I'm here, no need to fret. Although I could do with some-" I started before mum started into a lecture about how I was already showing irrespirable tendencies and how it was obvious I needed to go back and learn discipline and whatever else she said after I tuned her out, it was so easy to do. I could tell by just glancing at Mione she was upset at me, I just played it off. She couldn't be mad at me all day could she?
Yes, the answer is yes. She could be mad at me all day amazingly enough, it's not like I killed her bloody cat or anything, just that I kind of gave her a hassle this morning. I frowned when I realized I thought this was bad, Hogwarts had to be worse since she really is in charge there. Oh well, she didn't say much to me directly but that's okay, I could have possibly gotten flustered if she did.
I realized just how beautiful she was over the summer, but there's no way I fancied her, I thought plenty of girls were beautiful. She had a pink top and a long black skirt that flowed as she walked and it looked really nice on her, I guess, I really wasn't the best judge when it came to clothing. Luna, Neville, George, Angelina, and Draco showed up to have lunch with us and mum and dad went somewhere else to be away from all the kids I assume.
We almost got kicked out, because of George and- No, wait, just me because he was too absorbed trying to impress Angelina. I swear I saw Hermione let out a chuckle though, and that's all I really cared about. At lunch I found out Neville was the Head Boy, thank Merlin, maybe I'll get some help from Hermione's… Torment, I suppose, is the only way I can describe her being Head Girl.
We wandered around Diagon Alley until it started to get dark I counted up everyone, and realized we were missing someone, my biggest fan of the day. Everyone else was seemingly oblivious and I rolled my eyes. "Hey guys, you head home, I'll meet you there soon enough, if I'm not back by morning then you can worry." I said with a chuckle as I thought about where we could have lost the not so bushy haired girl.
Of course, the bookstore, I should have known. I found her immediately but decided to hang back a bit as I watched her, no, watched sounded creepy, as I observed her. She had a book in her hands and looked completely enthralled and entranced in it. I squinted to try and get a look at the title of the book, but I couldn't see it from where I was. She had a smile on her face and her eyes were wide, soaking up the knowledge the book had for her, I couldn't help but smile myself at how at ease Mione was.
I cleared my throat as I interrupted her a few minutes later. "O-Oh, sorry, I picked up this book and, well, you know how I get. Where's everyone else?" She asked in confusion as she looked around, seeing just me. It seemed all her anger towards me had disappeared; I actually had to thank that bloody book. "They all left, we lost you in here about twenty minutes ago so I said I would go looking for you, no need to have everyone look for you when one person would do the job." I answered. "What's the book about?" I asked curiously, motioning to it.
"Oh, it's just about old wizarding myths that have been proved wrong and some that are still in questioning. A lot of them prove that muggle superstitions about wizards and witches are false, some of the comments are very witty." She answered, not being able to keep the smile off her face as she explained the book to me; as if it was the best thing she had ever seen. That's how she acted with any book now that I think about it.
"Are you going to get it then?" I asked her and she glanced at the price, a wave of disappointment going through her face probably without her realizing it. She did have to provide for herself now, her still not having contact with her parents, or able to revive their memories. She had gotten a job over the summer but I guess she didn't have a lot leftover and wanted to save it. I frowned; she deserved the book, even if she had been a complete… Witch, to me the entire day up until this point.
"Hey, I forgot one of the books I need for Hogwarts. You know me, always forgetting things, why don't you go wait outside and I'll grab it and put this book up?" I asked as I reluctantly took the book from her. She nodded her head and went away without a word; she looked like a little kid who couldn't get the puppy they wanted.
I couldn't believe she fell for that, of course I didn't forget any school books, mum made sure we all had what we needed. Instead I took her wizarding myth book and went to pay for it as quickly as I could before meeting outside with her. "Ready to go home?" I asked her and she nodded, grabbing onto my arm as we apperated away.
I knew she was downstairs with Ginny still, I could hear there giggles from the room I shared with George. "Could they be any louder?" He grumbled from his bed. "Don't jinx it Forge, they're teenage girls of course they could be louder than they are. Be happy they are only this loud and we don't have a room closer to the living room. Now I have a few things to take care of before I go to sleep which reminds me, I'm going to miss you when I'm in a dormitory and you are at our home above the shop. It's nice staying here at night though; someone's always here to make sure we are up on time." I said as he let in a grunt in agreement.
"Goodnight Forge." I said before slipping out of my room with the book I bought earlier and heading to the girl's room, being as quiet as possible as to not wake anyone up in case they could actually sleep with all the noise from the living room. To think two girls could make that much noise, I'm glad I don't have any more sisters or I don't think I'd be able to handle all the noise making.
I walked into the girl's room and scribbled a quick note as I sat the book on her bed, putting the piece of paper in the book. I felt pretty satisfied as I double checked the short note I wrote for Mione.
Dearest Mione,
I might as well say this while I can, because when we get to Hogwarts we both know I probably won't mean it. I think you will make an amazing Head Girl, and I'm okay with you always busting me. That is where we both know I won't mean it. Anyways, I never formally congratulated you with a gift and it was obvious you wanted this book so…I lied to you and got it, pretty sneaky of me right? Anyways, here you go, I hope you enjoy it and all of it makes you as happy as you looked at the book store. I wish you could always be that happy.
With lots of jokes,
-Fred-*Hermione Pov*-
Ginny and I were in a fit of giggles as we walked back to our room. I went over to my bed and was about to lay on it before I noticed the book. I gaped at it and then looked at my friend. "Did you do this?" I asked curiously, I mean, everyone saw me reading it before they left me. She shook her head as she went to the bathroom, mumbling something about changing and brushing her teeth.
That's fine, I opened the book and a note fell out. I smiled fondly as I read it over, letting out a small laugh before putting it to the side. "So who was it from?" Gin asked as she emerged from the bathroom. "The note is on my bed, feel free to read it if you won't, it's not anything personal." I answered her as I took my turn in the bathroom.
"This is also probably his apology for being such an arse today." Ginny laughed as I laid down on my bed, putting the book on the nightstand. "Yeah, probably, but they didn't necessarily deserve all the screaming, I was a bit upset they wouldn't get up though, it's as if I were waking them from the…"I trailed off, becoming quiet at what I was saying, it felt wrong to say.
"At least we know that he has a good side right? I always wondered about that." Ginny joked, pushing a new subject upon us, I loved that girl. "Right." I agreed with a laugh as we started settling down for bed.
