Hi guys :)

Here is chapter 10, I hope you'll like it.

Thank you to punkyredhead and everyone who read, favorited and/or followed :)

The weeks went by quickly. George reopened the shop and it was a total success. The day was definitely difficult without Fred, but George knew that he would have wanted it that way. Hermione was busy helping George in the shop while studying for her NEWT's, but she wanted it that way and was confident that she could soon take her exams without problems.

Today was Hermione's day off and she wanted to meet up with Ginny and Luna for some much needed girl time. They agreed to meet each other in a nice café in muggle London. All three girls arrived at the same time and after they greeted each other properly, they took a table at the window.

"So how are you?" Ginny asked them.

"Great!" Luna and Hermione answered at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed.

"And you, Ginny?" Luna asked.

"Very tired, but fantastic, thank you."

"Why are you tired?" Hermione asked her.

A smirk appeared on Ginny's face "Well….I had amazing sex last night."

The girls laughed "Ginny, you say that every time."

"Well, what can I say? Harry is always amazing in bed." Hermione and Luna rolled their eyes.

"So Luna, how are you and Neville doing?" Hermione asked.

"We are doing fine. I really didn't think we would work that well, but we do." she smiled.

"That's great, Luna." Ginny said, Hermione nodded.

"And you and George?" Luna asked Hermione.

"We are fine. It's stressful at the moment with the shop and me taking my exams, but he's so sweet and caring. Just yesterday, I was helping at the shop and he brought me lunch, telling me, I should take a break." Hermione smiled as she remembered yesterday.

"Who knew, my brother could be so loving and caring. I suppose, with you, he can be." Ginny said.

"Don't be silly, Gin. He isn't just caring when it comes to me."

"I know." Ginny said, smiling softly.

"Oh look! Isn't that George?" Luna exclaimed, pointing on someone on the street, just exiting a jewellery shop.

"Yes, that's him. What is he doing in a muggle jewellery shop?" Ginny asked.

Hermione wanted to say something, but in that moment, a beautiful woman, who she recognized as Angelina Johnson, stepped out of the same shop. They didn't start walking immediately. They talked and had happy expressions on their faces. Before they began walking down the street, George hugged Angelina and by the looks of it whispered something in her ear.

Ginny and Luna alternated between watching George and Angelina and the reaction of Hermione.

"Hermione? Are you okay?" Luna asked.

Hermione looked at her two best girlfriends as George and Angelina were out of sight and said "Of course, I'm okay. Why shouldn't I?"

"Well…if I saw Harry with a woman, walking out of a jewellery shop together, laughing, hugging…and he didn't tell me about it, I wouldn't be okay. Or did he tell you about it?" Ginny said.

"No, he didn't tell me about it, but I bet, there is a logical explanation for it and he'll tell me about it tonight. And besides, it's not like they kissed or something. Come on, let's order some cake!" Hermione reasoned and changed the Topic.

In the evening, Hermione waited for George. It didn't take long and she heard him opening the door.

"Love, I'm home." he called.

"I'm in the bedroom."

She heard his footsteps coming nearer and soon, he was entering the bedroom. Hermione put the book she was reading aside and looked up at him.

"Hi."

"Hello love." he said and kissed her on the forehead "How was your day off?"

"Fine. I met Ginny and Luna for some girl time. How was your day?"

"Busy, but fine." he replied, not mentioning anything about Angelina.

"Did anything interesting happen?"

"No, not really."

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked again.

"Yes. Is everything alright?"

Hermione stood up and took her wand from the bedside table.

"Are you cheating on me?" Hermione blurted out.

"NO! Of course not. Why are you asking me this, Hermione?"

"Because you are lying to me and you never lied to me. Well, at least I thought you never did."

George grabbed her arm, forcing her to look at him "What are you talking about?"

"We saw you today, Ginny, Luna and I. In muggle London with Angelina, coming out of that shop. And I was so stupid and defended you. I'm not worried, he'll tell me tonight all about it. But no, YOU ARE LYING TO ME."

"Hermione, it isn't what you think." George tried.

"Oh, really? Well, I don't want to hear it at the moment. I'm bloody pissed, George and I'm spending the night somewhere else. And I really hope for your sake, that you aren't cheating on me. I swear to Merlin, if you did…."

"Hermione, please. Just let me explain. Stay and let me explain. I didn't cheat on you. I would never cheat on you. Please, Hermione, you have to believe me. I love you."

A big sob shook Hermione's body. George wrapped his crying girlfriend into his arms and didn't let go of her. He sat down on the bed and stroked her hair.

"Shh, love. Please, let me explain. I love you so much, I would never cheat on you." he quietly said.

Through her sobs, Hermione said "Explain." and George was relieved.

"Angelina came to the shop today. We talked for a bit and well, we talked about you too. I told her how happy you make me and how much you help me coping with Fred's death and then I told her what I wanted to do soon." George reached into his pocket and revealed a ring with a small diamond. Hermione's eyes widened and her mouth stood open.

"Hell, this isn't the way I planned to ask you this. So, I told Angelina that I was planning on proposing soon, but that I was searching for the perfect ring for you and she told me about this shop in muggle London and told me that if I had time, she could show me right now. Well, she did and I found this ring. I thought it's perfect for you, because you wouldn't want something big, but if you don't like it, we could search for something else together, well, if you say yes, that is. So, Hermione Jean Granger, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
