Chapter 11: You'll have to kill me first
George walked over to his bed across from his brothers. "Hey Fred, I have a huge favor to ask you."
"Yeah what is it?"
"Could you switch with me tomorrow? Something kinda came up and I won't be able to clean the shop."
"I can do it but you owe me, I'm not going to clean this whole shop by myself. Too bad that everything is so dirty that I don't know a spell to clean that will work on it."
Laughing to himself George thought, if only you knew then you would owe me that favor, "Thanks so much…and I won't have to clean the shop all by yourself." Yeah Mione will be there to help you, George added in his head.
At breakfast the next morning, Hope asked what everyone's plans were for the day.
"Harry and I are just going to hang around here and go flying sometime today." Ginny said as Harry nodded in agreement and still kept shoveling food into his mouth.
"Going over to Padma's house" Ron said while eating so it sounded more like "oing oer ma ouse"
"You know you could finish chewing before you answer Ron." Hermione said in a really good impression of Mrs. Weasley, which got everyone laughing.
"Sorry Mione."
"I'm going over to the new shop and work on getting it cleaned up again." Fred said after chewing his bite of food.
"Oh would you like some more help?" Hermione said eagerly.
"Yeah I would love some help." Fred answered as eagerly as Hermione asked.
"Well I have a few things to do, what about you Hope?" George asked.
"Oh, well Mrs. Weasley was going to show me how to make Chocolate Mousse. I really love to cook so that was my plan for the afternoon. Might catch up on some homework and such, I was just sent what you guys were given at the end of last year."
"That sucks" Harry finally stopped eating to say.
Everyone finished their breakfast with not much else said and then went on their way. Fred and Hermione headed over to the new shop and gathered up the cleaning supplies.
"So where do you want to start?" Fred asked Hermione.
"We have already done the back room so we should work on the front." Hermione said rolling up her eyes and in the process hitting her wand. "Oh my god I am soo stupid!"
"I wouldn't say that. You are one of the most brilliant witches I know."
Hermione gave Fred a smile and then took out her wand and said a few choice words. Soon all the sponges started cleaning the shelves on there own and a mop was mopping up the floor. Fred looked around amazed at what Hermione had done because he certainly didn't know that spell.
"How did you do that?"
"Well your mum taught me that spell last summer after she tried teaching me to cook. I am much better at cleaning then cooking with magic. I can make some pretty good food the muggle way but I guess cooking is one of the few things I can't do with magic."
"Well I'm impressed you can clean so well." Fred said laughing. "Well this gives us a free afternoon because George and I weren't planning on moving any stock over for a few days."
"What would you like to do today then?" Hermione asked shyly.
"We have a whole day in Hogsmeade together. Want to go up to the Shrieking Shack?" Fred said, his ears turning a bit pink, but Hermione didn't seem to notice.
"Sure I would love to." With that the two headed outside and down the street towards the Shrieking Shack. Once they got there they sat on a rock over looking it and started talking.
"George and I always tried getting in there to see if it is as haunted as they say but there is no way in." Fred told Hermione.
Hermione started laughing and Fred gave her a weird look. "What is so funny?" Fred asked.
"Oh nothing really, I just can't believe that the two of you hadn't found a way in."
"Why would that be so funny?" Fred asked curiosly.
"Harry, Ron and I went in there during our third year."
"What? How!" Fred exclaimed in astonishment.
After laughing at the expression on Fred face for a few minutes she finally calmed down enough to answer his question.
"Well Sirius Black dragged your brother in and Harry and I followed."
"Wait why didn't any of you tell me?"
"Dumbledore told us not to."
"Oh, so how did you guys get in, I mean every trip to Hogsmeade George and I tried to find a way in."
"That there would your problem."
"What do you mean?"
"Well the entrence in is from Hogwarts."
"What, how is that possible?" Fred said thinking and then all of a sudden it dawned on him "How did you get past that crazy willow tree!"
Once again waiting until she calmed down from laughing Hermione answered, "If I told you then I would have to kill you," and then she was in another fit of laughter.
"Hermione Granger! Tell me right now!" Fred said and started tickling her.
"I'll never tell you" Hermione managed between fits of laughter and then somehow managed to escape from Fred and run away heading into the village with Fred right behind her. The two of them got some pretty dirty looks as they ran down the street. Hermione ran down to the Three Broom Sticks and went inside closing the door before Fred could get in. Hermione headed for a table and Fred soon joined her.
"I will get revenge on you for that." Fred said with a huge grin.
"If you say so" Hermione said giggling. The two order lunch and sat talking and eating before heading back over to the shop to see if it was clean yet.
