So here is Chapter 6. There isn't any Fred/Hermione interaction in this one because thats all coming out in chapter 7- still read and review tho! Hope you like it
Chapter 6-
Hermione had run off into the distance crying her eyes out. She had just told Fred that she fancied him and he just stood there gawping. He didn't even say anything. She was so embarrassed and although she probably wouldn't admit it, she was heartbroken that he didn't say anything back.
Fred mentally slapped himself. Hermione had just said that she fancied him and he just stood there staring like she had gone totally insane! What was wrong with him? As he went to open his mouth, Hermione let out a sob and ran from the kitchen as fast as she could.
"Hermione, wait! I'm so sorry, I need to tell you..." Fred shouted as he attempted to run after her. His attemps were cut short as Mrs. Weasley entered the kitchen.
"Fred, what on earth are you shouting about at 7 o'clock in the morning? And why are you up so early? I don't think I've seen you awake this early since you and George were 3." questioned. Fred didn't know wiether to run after Hermione and tell her he felt the same way orto answer his mother's silly questions. 'answer mum, if I don't she will hex my balls off.' Fred thought.
"I was just getting a glass of water. And I was just talking to Hermione...she..um.. well she kind of ran off...crying." Fred rubbed the back of his neck nervously, waiting for his moher's angry outburst.
"Well if dealing with Hermione for nearly 6 years has taught me anything, it's let her cool down before you speak to her again. She will come round to what ever you did to her. I'm guessing it was some cruel, inapropriate prank, right?" Fred reddened with embarrassment as he mummbled "Yeah, something like that... so you think I should just leave her for a while? Just to let her cool down? I suppose you have a point, maybe then she won't hex my bal...umm I mean hex my...back. Yeah.. hex my back off." Mrs. Weasley raised her eyebrows at this and gestured for Fred to follow her into the sitting room.
"You need to stay out of her hair for a while. And I have the perfect way for you to do it. You and George are the only ones who haven't had your dress robes measured for Bill's wedding yet, so you can both come into Diagon Alley with me. No buts, now go get your twin and meet me at the fireplace in 5 minutes. Understand?" Fred nodded and ran up the stairs to find George.
How could he have been so stupid? He likes Hermione. And Hermione likes him back. Why didn't he just pick her up and snog her senseless right there in the kitchen? Oh yeah, thats right- because he had never in a billion years expected Hermione Grager to let slip of her deppest feelings right infront off him and it threw him a little off guard. And by a little off guard I mean that if he was standing by a cliff at that moment, he would have surely fallen and toppeled to his death out of shock.
Fred ignored his confused thoughts and ran to his room to find George happily sitting on his bed. "Oi, Georgie boy! Mum said we have to go shopping today for Bill's wedding. So get your arse outta bed and get dressed." George groaned and climbed out of the bed to collect his wand. The twins could have easily got changed the muggle way but, hey they were Wizards for Merlins sake! Both boys flicked there wands and were instantly dressed and their hair was sucessfully brushed into a 'I just rolled out of bed, but you still find me hot' sort of look.
"For Merlins sake! I said 5 minutes, Frederick, not 15!" Mrs. Weasley scowled, as the twins came bounding down the stairs to the fireplace.
"Sorry, dear mother but Freddie here was moping around the bedroom mubiling about snogging someone senseless right her in our very own kitchen. Shocking I know." Fred sent daggers at a perfectly happy George and made his way to the fireplace. They were going to floo to Diagon Alley then visit Madame Malkins for dress robes. Then after the shopping trip, Fred was planing on finding a certain bookworm and was going to try and persuade her that he wasn't some giant git with a dungbomb for a brain.
"Diagon Alley!" shouted as she stepped into the emerald flames of the fire. Fred and Geroge followed her example and soon they were standing on the cobbeled street of Diagon Alley. The three wandered to Madame Malkins but not without stopping at Quality Quidditch Supplies and of course Weasley's Wizard Wheezes before hand. The boys had asked their good friend, Lee Jordan to mind the joke shop for a few weeks so they could have a break at the Burrow. The shop was just over a year old but buisness was still blooming and the place was rushed off its feet.
"Boys, hurry up! We still need your robes and we have been here for nearly 3 hours!" anyone who was anyone could tell that Mrs. Weasley was getting annoyed, so Fred and George followed her to the Robe shop.
After trying on several different dress robes, Mrs. Weasley decided on a very dashing pair off dark blue robes that complimented their firey hair perfectly. 4 hours after ariving at Diagon Alley, the three finally floo-ed back home. "Mum, what time is it?" Fred asked as he charmed his robes to go up the stairs by themselves.
"It's nearly 12 o'clock, dear. Lunch will be ready about one."
'Perfect, now I just need to sort out this mess with Mione' Fred thought as he left the Burrow to find the bushy haired girl. Although he didn't exactly know Hermione that well, he still knew her in his heart. 'She wouldn't have gone back to the house after the incident because she prefered the outdoors. And she wouldn't have just sat there, she would have conjured up a book of some sort. Probably, her favourite- Hogwarts: A history.' Fred thought as he walked into the acres around the burrow. He gazed around for her. She wasn't at the Quidditch pitch they had created usuing trees as goals and she wasn't in the forest either. Then he saw her, curled up under a big Oak tree next to the lake at the bottom of the Weasley's land.
"Hermione?..." Fred whispered.
I know there wasn't any Fred/Hermione action in this chapter but I needed to wait until chapter 7 where I will put in the big reaction scene between them. The next chapter will be there reactions to the Kitchen Incident. And you will find out how she ended up in his bed a few chapters ago too.. ;)
PLEASE REVIEW... I PROMISE THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE MORE FRED/HERMIONE!
