I'm back! I'm back! I didn't abandon it! I've just been writer lazy! Sorry! Here's the next chappy! Hope you like it!

Don't own anything, just love to play.

"Oh no", Hermione thought, "What am I going to say? What's he going to say?"

Quickly letting go of each others hands Fred and Hermione each tried to think of something to say.

Ginny finally reached them and was bouncing in place waiting an explanation.

"Um, I was just showing her around the new store," Fred said, "I guess, um, well I had to lead her down a narrow hall way and I didn't want her to fall!"

"Yup! Clumsy me!" Hermione added

Ginny didn't look convinced, "Clumsy? Since when are you ever clumsy?"

"Weeelllll," Hermione replied searching for an answer, "We missed lunch and I didn't really get a good breakfast so I was kind of weak from not eating! So we decided to look at the last room before we went to lunch. I almost fell a few times! So… Fred grabbed my hand for balance!" Hermione didn't know why she was trying to explain herself, but she didn't want to say anything right now because she wasn't even sure what was totally going on. She also didn't like lying to Ginny.

Ginny though for a second then said, "Ok, makes sense I guess. Can we going you for lunch, we were just headed there ourselves!"

"Sure!" Fred answered "The more the merrier!"

Off the group walked towards the leaky cauldron.
Once they arrived they sat at a table and waited to be served. Small conversation carried then the waitress came to take their orders.

"The special please, extra mash!" Fred said

"I'll have the same as him thanks! No gravy" Lee added.

"Hmmm, soup and salad please." Hermione said.

And finally Ginny asked for "Meat pie and a bun."

"Ohhh, I have to go to the girls room! Hermione! Come with me!" Ginny had an odd look on her face.

"Er, ok." Hermione replied and stood to leave with her.

Once they were in the bathroom Ginny turned round on Hermione and stood there.

"…. I thought you had to use the loo…." Hermione said, not really sure what Ginny was up to.

"I thought you were reaaaaaally hungry. I thought you had a bad brecky and no lunch. Weak eh? You look pretty fine to me, and since you only got a soup and salad…. Something's not right." Ginny cooed to her now flustered friend.

"Well, um, I, er, OK OK! I had a big breakfast! We did miss lunch though! And well…. We were looking around the shop and then he led me to one of the storage rooms in the back. He took my hand to lead me there." Hermione said blushing "Once we were done we were still holding hands and well, just didn't stop. I thought it was interesting and wanted to see how long he'd hold on."

"So, You DO like him!" Ginny said triumphantly

"Ya, a little I guess. I'm not sure what he thinks of me though! We get along great, and I can talk to him for hours and not even realize the time has past. Whenever I'm with his everything is just so natural." Hermione said getting a far off look in her eyes.

"Does he leave while your in the middle of a sentence? Does he add a joke to the end of every sentence? Does he act weird? He was still holding your hand when we found you guys, how long were you holding hands?" Ginny asked.

"Well, no he doesn't do any of that. We were holding hands for about," Herione thought for a moment "wow, 10 or 15 minutes!"

"Well, according to my expertise in the area of Fred Weasley." Ginny said with an official air, "Fred never talks to anyone longer then 5 minutes before leaving them in mid sentence to find something more 'interesting.' Fred never talked to anymore longer then 10 minutes without added some sort of joke. Fred never acts 'normal' any longer then 15 minutes if he doesn't want to be there. So, seeing as you guys can 'talk for hours', I'd say there's a pretty good change he likes you too. He was also holding you hand for a while and it's not like he couldn't have notice either."

"Alright!" Hermione said with confidence, "Um….what do I do now?" her voice now full of questioning.

"Don't worry, just act like you have been. I'll talk with Lee and get him to put a bug in Fred's ear. He'll find out what Fred is planning to do and try to 'push' him in the right direction!" Ginny said.

"And what," Hermione asked, "Is the right direction?"

"Going on a date with you of course! After that you're on your own and you guys can feel out what will happen in the future. Just keep me updated alright!" Ginny said with a wink.

"Thanks Gin!" Hermione hugged her friend, "I don't know what I'd do without you! We'll….I could probably find some help at the bookstore. There are probably a lot of relationship books there."

"Don't! I'm here! You don't need a book." Ginny smiled, "You have me, no book will be able tell you the quirks of Fred."

With that the two girls left to rejoin the boys for lunch.

There it is! I'll try to have more chaps up in less time then I did this one.
Review and get a brownie! I just baked them today!
