Okay I obviously don't own anything, except the lyrics in quotes cause I wrote those.
So this is longest chapter I've written so far, and it'd be really cool if you could leave a review :)
"The storm may be over. The sky may be calm now. It may be peaceful now but it won't last very long."
My eyes started to squint and I swiftly realized that I wasn't in Ginny's room. The grass was wet, and I was damp. It must have rained while I was out here. Soon the memories of last night came back to me, and in a flash of a second, I frowned at that thought. While the sky was so beautiful with that lovely turquoise it portrayed, I was still crying on the inside.
I didn't want to return because then I would be obligated to face Fred, but I had to get out of these moist clothes. Reluctantly, I walked backed towards the burrow. I must have ran far enough because it took me quite a bit of time to get there. I peeked through the window to see if anyone was there, but luckily no one was there. Must be early. I tip-toed through the burrow so I wouldn't wake up anyone and also I didn't wish to be heard.
I managed to make it to the room without making a peep. I entered the bedroom to see that Ginny was still asleep. I took off all my wet clothes and replaced them with black and white striped pajama bottoms with a white V-neck attached. I glanced at the clock on Ginny's side of the room and it read 6:30a.m. Sheesh no wonder everyone is still sleeping. I went to my bed and covered myself up with blankets, so I could blissfully disappear into a peaceful slumber. At least for a short time.
I felt a pillow slap my head and the only thing I could perceive was long red hair, automatically I assumed it was Ginny.
"What Ginny?!" I groaned, trying to go back to sleep. I buried my nose in my pillow, so she would get the message and abandon me.
"Wake up! It's important!" She replied rapidly, still hitting me with her pillow.
"Ugh! What?!" I spat out. I criss-crossed my feet to see what she wanted.
"What happened last night?" She asked, with obvious worry in her tone.
"What do you mean?" I replied, a bit confused as to what she meant. Although I do have a bad feeling about this question.
"YOU" she said pointing at me, "KNOW what I mean". While crossing her arms around her chest.
I sighed, "I left the Burrow, ran many miles away, and stopped at a tree. I accidently fell asleep there. That's all."
"But, why?" She asked curiously. Oh no, I was afraid of this. What was I suppose to tell her? Then everyone would know. But then again, everyone probably already knows.
I didn't respond, so instead I began playing with my blanket because I couldn't come up with a clever enough response.
"Fred has been gone for hours searching for you" Ginny said abruptly.
"WHAT?!" I shouted. It must have been loud because I saw my best female friend cover her ears. "Where is he?!"
"I don't know." she replied quietly. "But, I do need to know what happened last night"
Ginny usually isn't one to get all sentimental on me, but I figured she had a right to know. So I told her everything that happened; The story about Angelina wanting Fred back, Her comments on me, and finally how I stormed out of the room and ran distantly into the field.
"That bitch!" Ginny retorted, slamming her pillow on her bed. Meanwhile, I was too preoccupied with being depressed to even agree with her.
When she noticed I didn't respond, her eyes immediately softened.
"Hermione" she said gently, "You don't actually believe it do you?"
"Well of course I do" I muttered, staring intently at the ground.
"WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. YOU?!" She began assaulting me with her pillow once more. I tried to block the hits, but there was no use with this girl.
"Well, how can I not?!" I snapped. "Angelina is so perfect, and I'm just a bookworm!"
"He likes you!" She retorted, "How can you not see that?!"
"Please" I said shaking my hand downward, "I highly doubt it, and besides I don't fancy him all that much anyway"
"Oh really?" Ginny asked suspiciously, "So you wouldn't mind if Angelina and Fred got back together?"
I glared at her. However, she just smirked at me. Oh, why even bother trying to cover it up with her? Ginny knows everything! "Oh fine! I like Fred a lot!" I confessed, "I think I might even love him, but I'm not certain."
Ginny and I just gazed at each other until we heard Mrs. Weasley shout that breakfast was ready. I walked down the stairs and I could feel every eye looking upon me. Oh great, everyone knows I was gone last night.
"Oh Hermione, dear!" Mrs. Weasley came up to me and immediately pulled me into a hug, "We were so worried about you"
"Oh it's nothing, I just went outside and slept there, unintentionally of course" I forced a smile out of me, even though I felt like crap inside. She seemed to have believed me and left to go to chat with .
I glanced up to catch Fred's eyes looking straight at me. Wow, he must have been out all night. It looked like he barely slept; he had dark circles under his eyelids, and his hair was a mess. And yet he still had the most beautiful brown eyes I have ever seen.
"Your eyes are so mesmerizing. I can't get them outta my head no matter how hard I try."
God, I felt a rush of guilt wash all over me. I couldn't believe I deserted him just like that. What kind of person does that? Oh right, Me. I frowned and started to eat my scrambled eggs, even though all I wanted to do was to crawl into my bed, and hide myself beneath my blankets.
As I was finishing up my breakfast, I then caught Ron staring intently at me. It seemed that he calmed down a bit, however he still looked extremely furious. Well...why wouldn't he? I'm "dating" his brother. God I'm an awful person. I pushed my plate away, cause I was unable to eat anymore. I politely excused myself, and went to go crawl under my blankets, and never get up...again.
"I saw an old movie long ago. About a girl who was waitress and he was everything that every girl wanted. I wish he would give me the time of day. But I know it'll never happen because his heart belongs to another girl."
Resigning under my blue blankets, I couldn't help but let my mind wandered to an old muggle film I used to love. A romantic type of movie called "A Cinderella Story". Even though the main character went through some tough times, in the end she got her prince. But I know life isn't a movie, no matter how much I want it to be. Fred was the prince charming that every girl wanted and I was the waitress. But I knew deep down inside that I was never ever gonna claim him as my own. I could see Fred and Angelina getting back together just like how it was in my fifth year. I swept the tear that formed in my eye and once again I went into a deep sleep. Trying to forget reality.
(Fred's P.O.V)
I wanted to finish my breakfast, so I could quickly find Hermione. Poor thing she must have had a terrible night. sheesh she slept outside, damn it Angelina why couldn't you just leave me alone?
"I'm done!" I shouted suddenly. Everyone appeared shaken by this. oh yea I forgot I eat a lot. I saw Ron get up as I was getting out of my seat. We came face to face with each other. "She's mine" I heard him mutter, violently.
"She was never yours'" I growled softly, so that no one could overhear me. I pushed him away, and made my way up to Ginny's room. As soon as I approached her room, I saw that she was sleeping. Must have had a terrible night.
I crawled into her bed since I was exhausted as well. I put my arm over her chest, so she couldn't escape if she did by chance wake up before me. I laid my head down on her pillow, and drifted off into a slumber.
6 Hours later. (Hermione's P.O.V )
I sensed a rush of warmth spread throughout my body. Nonetheless, my eyes were kept closed because I didn't fancy waking up to reality. However, I felt a hand grip my stomach, hesitantly I slowly opened my eyes and saw a hand there. Why is there a hand in my bed? Why is it gripping me? Better yet, Who the hell is in my bed?! I shifted to the other side of my bed to see none other than Fred Weasley snoozing there. Damn it, I better get outta here. Crap, his grip on me is tight. He probably didn't want me fleeing...Brilliant git.
I could see him gradually starting to awaken. He rubbed his eyes, Aw he looks so cute when he does that. He flashed a look at me with such compassion, it was like he was taking the fault for what happened last night. But, it was my fault. I knew that.
"Hi" I said timidly, glancing downward. I was terrified he was gonna yell at me.
"Oh, Hermione" He said gently, softly kissing my forehead. Okay I was so NOT expecting that.
"Do you despise me?" I whispered sadly. I focused my eyes on my hands, since there was no way I could look him in the eyes.
"Never" He replied. My eyes promptly shot up. That one word changed me.
"How?" I asked curiously, "You were searching for me all night...Why?"
Fred seemed undecided on how to answer this question. But nevertheless said, "I care about you"
"That's sweet, but I'm perfectly fine" I muttered.
"No you're not. You may be able to fool the others', but not me" He responded.
"Fine" I said bitterly. I noticed he seemed taken aback from my reply. "I'm sorry, my anger isn't meant for you"
"It's alright" Fred said softly, he then pulled me into a hug, "I've been looking for you all night"
"I can't believe you did that!" I groaned into his arm, "You have no idea how guilty I feel."
"But...how?" He sounded so shocked by this.
"How?!" I shrieked, "How could I not?!"
"Shush Hermione calm down" He tugged me even closer to him. Okay Hermione breathe in, breathe out.
"You didn't get any sleep, you were extremely worried, and it was all because of me" I said, feeling my eyes getting watery.
"You can't blame yourself for this, it's not your fault" Fred replied, "Angelina should've never been here in the first place"
The tears started to fall as I clearly remembered what Angelina had said about me. Although she wasn't lying, everyone thought of me like that; a bushy-brown haired bookworm.
"She's an athlete, and I love reading books. She has perfect hair and mines all frizzy"
"Don't tell me you actually believe it." Oh my god, he sounded exactly like Ginny.
"Well..." I muttered softly, "I'm not exactly the prettiest thing around" I started fidgeting with my fingers, and then I felt him grab my hand. I glanced upward and saw his face darken. How? A Weasley twin never gets angry.
"Never say that again" He spoke so coldly, Oh lord it was so out of place!
I was starstruck, speechless, why was Fred acting like this? Something just didn't add up.
He started playing with my hand and then interlocked our hands together. Stay calm Hermione, don't do anything stupid in front of the boy you love. Wait love? No! Yes! No! No! No! Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh bloody hell I'm in trouble.
"Hermione, you're not pretty" I heard Fred say; my heart died a little, I knew he couldn't think I'm pretty. I'm boring. "You're beautiful" I looked up at him with wide eyes. What? Did he say I'm beautiful? Oh my merlin! I need to tell Ginny! Well as soon as I get up which I don't think will be anytime soon.
"All my life I'd wish someone would say I'm beautiful. So then maybe I'd feel good enough"
"Thank you Fred" I replied mildly, drawing myself further into his chest. I could hear his heartbeat and I was pretty sure he could hear mine. We stayed there in silence for the next couple of minutes, but I didn't mind it one bit.
"Hermione?" He seemed troubled, scared even, "Ron said you were his"
"What?!" I screeched. My face was definitely filled up with such anger. Even though I couldn't see my face, I knew it was absolutely RED.
"I'll be right back" I said sweetly. Departing the room, I screamed for Ginny. I told her what Ron said and she scolded him, stating that he was a "git". I told her my idea and she agreed with me. She was more than eager enough to take blame for this.
A couple minutes later, it was all set up. I'm going to make that git pay for what he said. I went back into my room to find that Fred was still there.
"Hello" I said happily, actually smiling for first time since...well you know what happened.
"Hermione..." He said slowly, "What did you do?"
I smirked and said, "You'll see". Hehe there is nothing than I do better than revenge.
-CRASH!-
