Author's note:
THANKS(!) for the reviews, it means a lot to me! I'm sorry it's been a while since I updated but I just started school again after the summer holiday. This is kind of a transition to the next chapter, but I hope you'll like it.
Thanks for reading. xx Lu!
Hermione fell on her bed in the dormitory. She felt nothing. Tears fell from her eyes but she didn't feel a thing. She had did such a wrong thing, but in the same time; good thing. She wasn't sure how she felt; the only thing she knew was that Fred was an amazing kisser. She had enjoyed their kiss, but she didn't know how she felt about Fred. Do I have to know? Hermione asked herself and sighed. Of course I have.
Fred and George were sitting on a bench in one of the many corridors of Hogwarts. George stroke Fred's back to comfort him. George knew how Fred felt and was eager to comfort his soulmate, to George no one else was more important.
"Y- You're the b- best person I'll ever know" Fred sulked through his tears and George smiled and stroke some tears away.
"Is she worth the pain, man? You don't even know her."
"I've known her since she was eleven, it's just that then she was this little duck and now she's grown into a beautiful swan. You know what I'm saying?" Fred wiped away his tears and looked at his brother. George sighed and though of something to make his brother happy again.
"Want to take a ride outside? It's actually great weather for flying and our classes don't start until after lunch." Fred agreed and the brothers stood up and walked towards the quidditch pitch.
Ron entered the girls' dormitory and found Hermione on her bed, she was reading a book.
"It's good you know…" Hermione said when she heard Ron's familiar steps "the book I mean, it's a good way of thinking about something else." she sighed and turned around. Ron bent down beside the bed and gave his almost-sister a warm smile.
"I love you, you know that eh?" he said and brushed away some of her tears.
"I know Ronnie, me too!" she said "you're an amazing friend."
"Brother!" Ron corrected her and she giggled at his enthusiasm. "I don't want you to be hurt 'Mione, I just did that so you could talk. I know he fancies you, and I thought you fancied him too?" Hermione closed her eyes and her lips started to shiver, she couldn't say anything
"Oh, take it easy." Ron said when he saw her expression. Ron lay down beside her and held her tightly, stroking her hair to calm her down.
"Our lessons start in some minutes; you should probably go wash your face. I know you wouldn't miss class because of this" Ron said in her ear and Hermione nodded.
Fred was lying on the grass, pushing himself up.
"Ten, eleven, twelve" George counted as Fred was doing push-ups. As George reached 30 some girls walked past, giggling at the shirtless guys working out.
"Not every day" Fred said when they had passed and George snorted. Fred stopped, and looked at his empty bottle. "Aguamenti" Fred said and waved his wand, the bottle filled up and he took a sip. He passed it to George who took a large gulp. "Your turn?" Fred said and George nodded. Fred started counting as George pushed himself up and down. When George was done the twins swung themselves up on their broomsticks and kicked off. Fred loved the feeling of fresh air rushing against his naked skin; he threw the bludger towards his brother who smashed it away with his bat.
"Nice!" Fred shouted and leaned forward to steer his broom towards the bludger.
After potions class the golden trio walked down to the Great Hall for lunch.
"Oh, I have so much to do now. I couldn't concentrate at all!" Hermione exclaimed when they sat down.
"Calm down, you're ahead of both of us." Ron said and stuffed a potato into his mouth. Hermione sighed and took a bite of her toast. "You still sad?" Ron asked and tried to make eye contact. Hermione didn't answer, she just opened a book from her bag and started reading.
Fred and George were sweaty from their training, but decided to eat lunch before hitting the showers. With their t-shirts on they walked into the Great Hall, and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Some of the girls watched after the well-trained, sexy-before-showering-twins.
"Strange, innit?" George said and Fred nodded and thought when did girls start to gaze after them? Was it some kind of joke? but the girls continued to look and giggle.
"I hate it."
"Well, it's your problem. Maybe you should stop training, not a problem to me; I would get all the girls!" George answered and laughed.
"Reckon I would look better than you anyway" Fred said and joined the laugh with his brother.
Hermione heard a familiar laugh, looked up and saw the Weasley twins laughing with each other. She quickly dived her face into the book and blushed; I wonder if he has seen me? she thought and risked another gaze upon them. It looks like they just had been out training, and he's looks so… sexy? Hermione dived into her book again as Fred turned his head.
Fred smiled at the look he saw, Hermione was deeply into a book. It was so first-year, and he quite liked it. Fred knew he had to do something to either describe his feelings or make her feelings grow. He looked upon his brother who caught his eyes; they made a silent conversation and stood up. Fred and George walked 5 meters before they stopped, said hello and sat down. Fred sat down opposite Hermione and George beside her.
"You practice before practice, huh?" Ron asked his brothers who smiled at him and nodded.
"Want to be the best, right Georgie?"
"Who said they were better than me?" Harry asked and laughed at the sight of the twins each raising an eyebrow at the same time. George started talking quidditch with Ron and Harry, and Hermione decided she would return to her book. She hadn't dared a glance towards Fred.
"What are you reading?" Hermione surprised looked up and met Fred's gaze "Why do I always scare you?" he laughed and took the book from Hermione's hands.
"It's a muggle book; my parents gave it to me my last birthday." she said when she saw the surprised expression on Fred's face.
"Hermione! May I take your notes from today's potion lesson? I couldn't make it to class." Parvati, who sat on Hermione's other side, asked. Hermione turned to her and started searching in her bag. When she had given the notes to Parvati she turned back and was about to ask Fred to give her book back when there was no Fred in front of her. Her book lay beside her. Hermione took up her book and search for the page she'd been on. When she opened the page it was written something in the marginal.
"Be up and dressed 2 am. Please wait. – F"
