(A/N: Okay...I'm posting this shortly after number 9 so...I still don't have a
beta reader...applications needed...thanks...here we go.)
Rumors were being spread more than ever that night at dinner.
"Ron and Hermione in a broom closet?" "No, Ron and Parvati in a broom closet." "Parvati?" "Yeah, can you believe it?" "No, not at all...poor Hermione."
People had no idea how Hermione really felt...she had just broken up with Dra—Malfoy. She couldn't bear to call him by his first name now...it just wouldn't be right.
Hermione had no one to go to now...Harry would be with Ron the whole time, she couldn't go to Parvati, not that she wanted to...whatever she said would be spread around the school that very same day.
Just then, the twins came into the great hall and sat with one on either side of Hermione.
"Look you two, I'm not in the mood to hear any of your jokes or any of your pranks that you're planning on pulling."
"Hermione, we're shocked," said Fred "Yeah, is that all you think we ever do is pull pranks," said George. "We can actually be very helpful sometimes." "But only when we feel like it." "And in your case we just happen to feel like it." "Listen, we're sorry about what our dolt of a brother did." "Yeah, but he was just grieving over having lost you to Malfoy." "Who, by the way, we still don't approve of you going out with."
"First of all, yes, pull pranks is all you ever do. Second of all, I don't want to talk about my love life to you, or anyone for that matter. And third of all, I really don't think I need your permission to go out with someone."
"Well, first and last of all, you do need my permission." Fred and George jokingly chorused, imitating Hermione's voice, "We just want to help you..."
Hermione looked up, surprised. "Y—You want to help me?"
"Yeah, come with us to hogsmeade today. It'll be fun," said George.
The twins looked at her and stuck their bottom lips out pleadingly.
"Oh all right! Just get that look off your face...I have to say, it's beginning to scare me." Hermione laughed...it felt so good to laugh.
Just then, Ron came in and miserably sunk into his seat across from Hermione. Their eyes met for a split second, before they both looked away. Tears began to find their way into Hermione's eyes, but she quickly hid them and told herself that she wouldn't put herself through this. She was going to have a great time at Hogsmeade with Fred and George.
(A/N: Okay, short again, but it's longer than the last chapter...lol...review, review, review, and maybe, just maybe then I'll be happy. Thanks for your reviews...and you know what I was thinking? Why is it always Fred and George and never George and Fred...I just think that's a bit odd. Anyways...hope you liked this chappie.)
