Chapter 9 Enjoy! :)


"Ready to go, love?" Fred asked. You can see the nervousness creeping in him.

"Yeah. Ready when you are." Hermione answered as she squeezed his hand.

And they apparated in front of the burrows. And now both of them looked at each other. Finding encouragement at their stare.

"Let's go." Hermione said. And they knocked at the door.

Everyone was in the living room. Harry and Ron were playing wizard's chess, George and Ginny were playing exploding snap, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were discussing biting toilets.

"Fred dear. Good you're home." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Yeah. Hermione's here too." Fred answered.

Ron stood up "Hermione, can we talk?"

"What? I mean. Yeah. Sure." Hermione followed Ron to the kitchen. Fred eyed them suspiciously.

At the counter, Ron was very nervous. You could see him shaking. "Listen, I know we're friends and everything."

"Yeah. I know. How long was it? 5 years. Pretty long. Amazing memories."

"Yeah. It was crazy. You know."

Hermione feels something bad about this conversation so she said " Look Ron. I've got to go."

Ron pulled Hermione's hand and plunge for a kiss. It was straight in the lips. Hermione pushed him and said almost whisper-like "I have a boyfriend Ron." And left the kitchen.

When Hermione returned to the living room to face all the Weasleys, "I am in love with someone in this room."

And she received blank stares from the audience. Ron returned from the kitchen and said "Who's the prat?"

"Actually, you are the prat Ron, however, you are not the one she's talking about." Fred interrupted.

"I'm in love with Fred." Hermione said and left the room.

"Good one Fred!" George said.

"You choose very well, big brother." Ginny patted Fred's back.

Everyone congratulated Fred except for Ron. "Ron, listen. I'm sorry. I just fell. I had no stopping it."

But Ron looked outraged and hit Fred right to the nose.

Fred went to look for Hermione. She immediately saw Fred's bloody nose. "Oh my gosh! Are you alright?" while damping a cloth to his face.

"Yeah. Ron punched me. He's too angry."

"Fred, I have something to tell you."

What is it love?

"Promise you won't get angry?"

"What is it?"

"Ron kissed me." She bit her lip.

"I'm gonna kill him." And he stood up running to Ron's room.

"Ronald! Why the hell did you kissed Hermione? My Hermione?"

" Because I wanted to. You gotta problem with that?"

"I do!" And Fred punched him the face.

"Guys listen-" Harry began.

"Stay out of this Harry." Fred said.

"Yeah mate." Ron said.

"Fred let's go. Don't mind him." Hermione said and dragged Fred to his room.

"Love, don't worry. He won't do it again." She said and kissed him in the lips. "You're the only person I want to kiss.

"I do hope so love. There are lots of predators for my beautiful prey." And Fred grinned and they kissed again.

"Hey George, will you look after him? You shouldn't let him out of this room tonight. And don't do anything harmful to Ron. Ok? Both of you. Goodnight." And she left them.
