A week later it was early in the morning when Fred woke with a start and crawled from the bed George fell asleep in and headed down to the kitchen to grab a cup of tea and ease his mind from the nightmare. He had the kettle brewing and sat at the table waiting and enjoying the silence of a house which is usually very noisy. He put his head in his hand and rested his eyes for a moment hoping everything in his body will calm down, soon the kettle began to whistle and before he could get to it the noise stopped and there sat a cup in front of him when he removed his hands. Sat across the table from him was none other than Hermione. They sat in silence as they both drank their tea but once he went to leave she whispered to him. "I can't sleep at night anymore, after Diggory it's been hard." He stood in the door way and searched for a response but when none came he nodded his head. She didn't look at him but continued "He was my friend, a good guy. Harry has been having nightmares you know? I tend to spend most of my nights with him and calming him when he wakes up with a start. Once Ron tried to help but he ended up getting punched.
She abruptly left after that and Fred went back to his room and tried to get more sleep, thinking all of that was a dream the next morning. He went about his normal routine with George creating their own pranks and jokes even planning their victims. Neither spoke of Hermione that day. Neither saw her once.
That night he had wandered into Ron and Harry's room when they were asleep to set up a prank for them to come across when they woke up but he stopped when he noticed a bush of brown hair next to Harry's. Jealousy jumped threw his entire body. He quickly set up the prank and an extra one to come across her when she awoke as well. Fred wandered back into George's and his room and divulged into his twin about it all.
George sat there a minute before quietly speaking, "So she's barley getting sleep and is sleeping in Harry's bed with him because he's getting nightmares?" Fred nodded. "So when you see her in there you set up the prank we had planned and set one up for her as well. What's this prank you put out for her?"
Before Fred could answer there was a loud scream that shook the house about as well as someone running into their room with a glint in her eyes. She looked like death had attacked her and her hair glowed a bright green that could blind anyone in the dark. She didn't say anything but she slapped both of them so hard it made them stumble before she disappeared again when there was a cry in the house.
