Chapter 9

Hermione was happy that she and George got back together. They would steal kisses every now and then throughout the afternoon. Hermione wanted to do something it got boring when Georgiana was away. Maybe they can get the gang together and go out to lunch.

"Hey why don't we go out to lunch and see if the gang would join us?" Hermione asked looking at a sleepy George.

"Mione, I'm sleepy, I want to spend time with you," George faked being asleep.

"Get up you faker," Hermione laughed.

"Well I'm not really faking, I do want to spend time with you, I only go two days until I go back. And I have to spend that with Georgiana." George gave Hermione a pouty look.

"Well how about we do this. If you agree with this arrangement to have lunch with the gang, and I'll see if mum will keep Georgiana for those extra days so we can spend time together, and when you go back to the flat you can take Georgiana with you, I have to go out of town for a few days for my case and mum can't watch her because she has work also. Take Georgiana for a few days and show her what you do," Hermione explained.

"Really? You would let me take her for a few days?" George asked with shock.

"George you're her parent too," Hermione smiled.

"Thank you Hermione," George gave Hermione a kiss. "But we do have to explain ourselves before questions arise," George reminded.

Hermione knew what had to be done, so she thought about having lunch at the burrows. Then she can leave everything out in the open.

"Okay, Well George why don't you write to your mum, and get everyone to come over for lunch that you have a surprise," Hermione said.

"Alright, I'll go write to mum," George said walking up the stairs to his room.

All Hermione could think about was how much trouble she was going to be in with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley for walking away like that and for keeping their grandchild from them. All came out of Hermione was an "all boy,"

George entered his room and started writing an note to his mum.

Dear Mum,

I wonder if you can have everyone over for lunch today I have a surprise for everyone. It's good news, and some not so good. But it's nothing life threating or anything like that, so if you don't mind I would appreciate it….

Love,

George

George rolled up the parchment and tied it to his owl, with the letter be taking to his mum all he had to do was wait for a reply.

Molly Weasley was busting around in the kitchen. Then an owl flew through her window.

"George's owl, what does he need now?" She questioned out loud.

Molly opened George's letter and read it. He wanted to know if she can get everyone together for lunch that he had a surprise. Molly wondered what could the surprise could be, so she decided to floo everyone to come over and she wrote back George.

Dear George,

I'm anxious about the surprise, Of course we can have lunch here, I will floo everyone to let them know see you at noon!

Mum

Molly send the reply back with George's owl and went to floo everyone.

George waited for his mum's reply. Hermione was nervous, she was actually biting her nails.

"Love, it would be fine, I'm with you," George gave Hermione a reassuring hug,

"I know, but I'm scared what they will think of me after what I have done," Hermione said in a shaky voice.

"I know, but if I can forgive you, and after they hear what your reasons were they will also," George told Hermione holding her hand.

Hermione gave a weak smile. Then George's owl came flying in, here it was time to see what all of this would become. George took the note off of the owl and read the note, that his mum sent.

"Well I guess we have to be there at noon and she anxious to know what the surprise is," George said with a smile.

Hermione stood up. "Well I guess maybe I should get ready then," Hermione said walking out of the room to get ready.

George went to get a shower and put on his robes. Hermione was looking through her closet and found a nice skirt and blouse to wear.

Hermione was downstairs first, George haven't come down yet. Hermione was nervous and she felt sick but this issue had to get resolved and it had to be fast. Hermione looked up to see George coming down in his wizard attired. She forgotten how handsome George can be.

"You ready?" George asked.

"No, but let's go," Hermione said nervously. George laughed as he took Hermione's hand in his and apperated them to his family home the burrows.

They were the only two outside, maybe they were the only one's here. A lot of questions were running through Hermione's mind. George gave her a gentle squeeze of her had to let her know that he was hear for her. They both walk to the door of the small house. George knocked and Ginny answered the door. Ginny seen Hermione want started to cry, she walked out the door taking Hermione into her arms and hugged,

"Hermione I can't believe it's you. I thought we would never see you, I'm sorry my hormones," Ginny said as she calmed herself.

"It's nice to see you again, Ginny," Hermione said when she hugged her back.

George walked in first and put a finger to his mouth for everyone to keep quiet, everyone seen Hermione behind him. She gave a quiet wave as everyone smiled in returned.

"Can someone please set the table," Molly yelled from the kitchen.

Lavender went to go, but Ron kept her back. "No let Hermione go in," Ron said in a whispered but everyone heard him.

Hermione took off her coat and gave it to George he gave her a kiss on the cheek to let her know it was okay to go on. Hermione walked into the kitchen. "I'll set the table for you Molly," Hermione said as she tried to keep her voice steady.

"Oh thank you Hermione," Molly said as she kept busy. Then it hit her Hermione. Molly turned around and screamed and ran to Hermione. "OH Hermione dear, It's so great to see you," Then she looks over at George smiling. "George Fabian Weasley was this the surprise, Hermione," Molly said excitedly.

"Guilty as charged," George grinned happily.

Molly went back and hugged Hermione, "We've all had missed you dear,"

"I've missed you all too," Hermione said as she hugged Molly back as a tear fell gently to her cheek.

Then the questions started.

"Where did you go?

What have you been up too?

Where do you live?

Why haven't you been in the wizarding world?

Why have you been gone from the last 5 years?

Hermione became nervous, and she looked over at George for help. George knew Hermione couldn't take all at once right now. So George stepped in.

"I know her reasons, and I know why. Why don't we all wait until after lunch? George requested.

Everyone went into they're proper seating arrangements. No one said a word but Charlie knew there was something wrong, but he took George's request not to push it right now. Hermione stayed quiet for the rest of the meal. She could bring herself to talk at the moment. She knew keeping Georgiana from them was wrong, but she hope they understood her reasons why she left. After lunch Lavender and Ginny helped Molly clean up while George and Hermione went into the living room. On top of the fireplace there was a big picture of Fred. But he did not move or talked. It was just a painting. Hermione stared at his painting, seeing him smile. Hermione started to feel bad.

"Oh George, Fred," Hermione whispered.

"Yeah, we could bring ourselves to charm it, Well Mum still has a hard time, I would like to get one but I don't know who to go to, I mean is to get one," George told Hermione with a small smile.

"You want one?" Hermione asked.

"Yes I do. It would be nice to hear his voice again," George said sadly.

"I can get you one," Hermione said.

"Oh Mione, you don't," But Hermione cut George off.

"No George, I want too. After what I've done, I owe it to you," Hermione said sadly.

George stood in front of Hermione and put his hands on her shoulders and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead. "Hermione you have given me enough,"

"No George, I need to. I ran away when you needed me, and I left when I needed you. I have to do this. You might forgave me. But to me that's not enough, not 5 years' worth," Hermione pleaded George.

Then Charlie overheard their conversation. He went up to them. "Why did you leave Hermione?"

George and Hermione were quiet and they look at one another. But George spoke first. "Not now Charlie,"

Hermione look at George. "It's okay, I have to tell them sooner or later,"

Soon as Hermione said those words everyone came running to the living room. Everyone sat as she stood.

"Okay I'm going to tell you of what happened; But I need you to let me finish and don't interrupt or I won't be able to finish," Hermione told everyone and they gave her their word.

Hermione walked over to Fred's picture. "I found Fred and Percy after I was split up from Ron and Harry. They were fighting off death eaters, when Percy told the minster that he was resigning from his place from the ministry. Fred thought he was joking, to which Fred didn't pay attention to his back. Fred saw me and a death eater behind me, Fred Fought him off. I turn to face Fred's side and Rockwood was facing his front in the distances. I screamed for Fred to move but he stared at me when the wall fell. I Heard Percy's cries, as I seen Percy trying to move the wreckage of the walk off of him. I ran to help. As soon we got to Fred's face, He looked at me as with a smile on his face he said. "Hermione take care of George, I'm going to be an uncle am I," He smiled at his own words and he died right there. I was shock at his words. I went to Find George to tell him about Fred. But Harry beat me to it, the only one that knew what Fred said was Percy and I. When I saw George taking Fred's death so hard. I couldn't bring myself to him. After the battle was won. I walked past George. He stopped me and asked me where I was going. I told George that I was leaving to find my parents. George asked me if I was coming back. I didn't give him an answer, I just walked away. After a few weeks went by. Fred's words haunted me. I was in the process of finding my parents. So I went to the doctors to get checked. I was nine weeks pregnant, I got pregnant when we ran into Fred and George being on the run. When I found my parents and restored their memories back. My father had gotten sick with cancer. So I kept the child away from George, because I heard he wasn't doing so well when I ran into Oliver Wood. So I stayed and help my mum take care of my dad. I went to college to become a lawyer. I had a baby Girl that fall in November. Her name is Georgiana Winifred Weasley. She was born on the 6th, she weight 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 22 inches long. She is so much like George and Fred into one. My mum pressured me into telling George and I thought he would had moved on and got on with his life, You know be married and have children already, I thought I would ruin that if I came back to tell him that he had a two year old daughter. I'm so sorry I kept this away from you all, I was scared I didn't know what to do, I was only eighteen not even married, but George wasn't ready for all that, especially losing Fred. I'm so sorry and I hope you all can forgive me." Hermione finished her story as she fell to the ground sobbing.

It was quiet except Hermione's cries, no one didn't know what to say. It was shocking to take it all in. George got from his seat and crawled over to Hermione and took her into his arms and rocked her back in forth in comfort.

The first one to speak was Molly.

"George have you seen your daughter?" She questioned him.

"Yes I've seen her; I've spent time with her, and she will be staying with me for a few days, because Hermione has to go away for few days with this case she's working on." George said to Molly.

Molly looked over at Hermione. "Come here, my dear,"

Molly patted on the seat next to her on the couch.

Hermione was released from George. He helped her up so she can walk over to Molly. Hermione sat next to Molly.

"I'm so sorry," Hermione sobbed. Molly took Hermione into her arms and hugged her as Hermione cried.

"It's alright dear, If George can forgive you, and then I can too. Do you have a picture of my granddaughter?" Molly asked.

Hermione shook her head yes and took the picture out of her purse. There was a picture of a little girl with curl ginger hair and blue eyes.

Molly couldn't believe this little girl was he granddaughter she looks exactly like Fred and George when they were little but she didn't say Fred.

"Oh Hermione she looks exactly like George when he was little. Oh I can't wait to meet her," Molly cried.

"If you would let us meet her?" Molly questioned Hermione.

"Yes you can meet her, George should have her in two days," Hermione said softly.

The picture was passed around and there was awe's all around. George went over and kissed her on the cheek. Then the one question that everyone was really to be asked was finally her.

"So what are you two going to do? I mean she does need her mum and dad?" Charlie asked.

"CHARLIE," Molly scowled.

George stopped his mum buy his brother's outburst.

"It's alright mum. Hermione and I are working that out. We aren't going to rush into getting married because we need to because of Georgiana. We are doing it for ourselves, when we get married is because we want to not have too," George explained.

"So are you two back together then?" Lavender asked.

"Yes Lavender we are," George said as he gave Hermione a kiss on the cheek.

Then George whispered into her ear. "See I told you it would be okay,"

Hermione smiled as she looked around seeing happy smiling faces, it was going to be okay.
