Hermione sat at the table that was next to the dorms main window. They had been gone for nearly an hour she wondered momentarily if they had been side tracked by a prank opening. She smiled knowing full well she would hear about some poor first year being terrorized in the morning.
"Hello love." she turned to see Fred and George with a platter in hand.
"Hey I was getting worried." She said with a soft smile.
"Ah no worries, we made sure the house elves made it from scratch so no magic short cuts would upset your stomach." Fred said.
"That was sweet of you." She said.
"Well you know us." George said placing the platter down on the table while Fred lifted it off.
"Ooh looks pretty good." She said seeing a creamy chowder, there was other food there including the chocolate cake they had mentioned before.
"We were hungry as well hope you don't mind us joining you." George said sitting down beside her while Fred sat down on her other side.
"Of course not you guys got the food after all."
"Oh drinks." Fred said getting up and walking to a cabinet in the corner of the room. "This is the perfect time to test our new drinks out." He said coming back with three bright orange bottles in hand.
"What's this?" she asked as he handed her one.
"A drink we're coming up with." George said. "It's called liquid candy… when you drink it you'll taste your favorite candy."
"Really?" she asked eyeing it.
"Yeah try it." Fred said popping off the top for her.
"Alright…" she said taking a sip.
"Wait you drank it." Fred said.
"Was that wrong?" she asked.
"No its just we didn't expect you too we thought you would give a little bit of a fight." George said.
"Please tell me I didn't trust you for nothing… you didn't do anything to this did you?" she asked with a dreading look.
"No we didn't but we're just glad that you trusted us." Fred said.
"Well you guys have more than proven yourselves…" she said before taking another sip. "This is incredible by the way."
"What does it taste like?" George asked interested to see what her favorite candy was.
"Oh it tastes like a shmallow." She said shrugging.
"What's a shmallow?" Fred asked.
"It's a butterscotch marshmallow dipped in chocolate." She said.
"I have never had those." George said.
"Never?" she asked. "I'll have to get you guys a box because they are the greatest things ever." She said. (AN: They really are people for the recipe private message me) "They're so good I love them." She said smiling. Fred and George decided to put the information back in their minds for later use. "So how was your day?" she asked. Fred began first, followed by George. They talked and ate for the next hour enjoying each other's company before Hermione knew it she had eaten all her food and she was feeling pretty okay about it.
"I forgot how much a missed food." She said with a smile. "You know every week my mother and I would cook this huge meal for my dad when he came home. We would spend just hours prepping and cooking." She laughed covering her mouth as a memory came to her. "This one time we tried baking a cake, and my mom put the flour into the mixer too fast and it sprayed all over the kitchen." a Joyous laugh escaped her as she covered her heart. She looked to them with bright eyes. "I swear two years later we were still finding flower in different places of the kitchen…" She giggeled softly before her hands dropped to her lap and she suddenly frowned. Fred and George took either of her hands to comfort her. "I'm fine I'm fine." she said with a smile. "I just forgot about that is all..."
I'll never be able to make another memory like that with my mother again… not ever…
"Are you sure?" Fred asked.
"Well share that piece of chocolate cake with me and I will be." Fred and George smiled as they handed her a fork and began to dig into it with her. "Okay that… that's pretty good." Hermione said tasting it allowing the deep dark chocolate taste to chase away her sorrow.
"Pretty good that's the best cake I've ever had." Fred said.
"Yeah yeah it's up there on the scale of cakes." George said.
"Then you clearly have never had one of my cakes." She said. "But then again not even my cakes beat your mums."
"No one can beat mums cakes." George said.
"Has a bloody gift she does." Fred said.
"The best." Hermione said. "I wish I knew her secret, she said though she'll teach me over Christmas break…"
"You're spending Christmas with us?" George asked.
"Yeah, it's not like I have anywhere else to go; besides someone has to help your mum cook." She said with a smile. "Is that okay with you two… or are you sick of me yet?"
"Of course not but now we get to think of what to get you." Fred said with a smile.
"What do you like?" George asked.
"This cake and you two boys." She said with a small smile.
"Awe that was adorable." Fred said kissing her on top of her head while George pinched her cheek. She swatted his hand away with a laugh.
"But really Mione what do you like?" George asked.
"Mmm… I dunno… I love books all kinds…"
"But knowing us we'll buy you the book and you'll already have it."
"Yeah probably." She said with a chuckle "To be honest I sometimes find that I have two copies of some of my books because I forget I own them and re buy them." She said with a small smile. "But uhm.. If it helps I love music." She said. "Especially things on vinyl… CDs are okay but records are the best…" she said.
"I didn't know you liked music." George said.
"I love it, I have about twenty of my best Vinyl's up in my new room. Another good thing about being kicked out I can know play my records at all hours. With a silencing charm so no one will be disturbed of course."
"What kind of music do you like?" George asked as he got up while flicking his wand to the door.
"uhm… jazz, a little big band, a lot of seventies rock… but mostly lately I'm all about the classical." She said. "Ennio Morricone specifically." She said. "I love his compositions…" Fred smiled loving the distant dreamy look she had in her eyes.
"How's this?" a soft bohemian tune came up and Hermione turned to see George messing around with a CD player. (Song is Mondo Bongo by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros)
"Hey you are wizards you're not supposed to have such muggle items." she said. "Takes the magic out of things." George pulled her up from his seat and started to dance around with her.
"Would it help if I told you it wasn't plugged into an outlet."
"Magically running?" she asked, he nodded. "Yeah I guess that helps." George spun her out only to be captured by Fred who pressed his cheek to hers as he moved about the room.
"You are a lovely dancer Hermione…" he said dipping her down to the ground only to drop her in the waiting arms of George.
"You really think so?" Hermione asked as George twirled her in a circle making her white skirt flow out around her. She smiled as he picked her up easily her hands resting on his shoulder to smile down at him.
"Oh yes love you are one dancing queen." She laughed as she was handed off to Fred once more.
"Well you two aren't so bad yourselves." In truth they were some of the best partners she had ever been with.
"Well thanks love." Fred said as he twirled her around so she could be taken by George.
"It would be even better if I wasn't so dizzy." She said from the constant twirling. George pulled her closer steadying her as she swayed.
"Want to stop?" he asked huskily his lips just inches from hers. "Because I could think of other things to do…"
"Other things that would make me equally dizzy if not more."
"I make you dizzy?" he asked his lips now brushing hers.
"Sometimes…"
"Not all the time?" Fred asked coming up behind her to wrap his arms around her waist. he kissed the tender spot just below her ear. She smiled as a shiver ran through her.
"When you do that you make me dizzy." She said. George pushed her hair over her shoulder to give him access to her collarbone and ran his tongue along it. "Or when you do that." He smirked against her skin only to have it torn away from him by Fred who had pulled her hungrily to his body. His mouth crashed against hers in the most heated kiss she had experienced yet from him. She stumbled back while sighing against his mouth as her hand moved through his hair.
"Hermione…" he whispered when he pulled away before George tugged her back to himself cutting off what his brother was about say. His mouth moved against hers as he pushed down her white button up shirt that hung open over her light blue tank. It fell to the ground forgotten as her arms wrapped around his neck. Fred growled as he walked up behind her and wrapped one arm around her waist while his other hand traced down her extended arms. she shuttered instantly letting go of George as she was pulled tighter to Fred who kissed her neck. Hermione reached behind her and wrapped her arm around his neck as his hand started to drag down the smooth skin again. Her back arched as she let a small moan escape her. his brother smirked at him almost challenging him to do better.
George walked straight to Hermione her body arching against him from Fred's actions. He placed two hands on either side of her neck before capturing Hermione's mouth with his. His hands traveled down from her neck to her breasts, giving them a soft kneed, she gasped into his mouth making him smirk before his hands traveled down to the hem of her tank. In one swift movement he had lifted it off her body revealing the smooth warm skin that lay beneath. His head dipped down and kissed each breast before licking the spot right between them. He trailed his kisses up to her mouth and pushed a strand of hair from her face.
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen…" he said against her lips. "I just wanted to let you know that…" Hermione smiled before placing one of the most delicate, soft kissed George had ever felt against his lips. It had been one of the simplest kisses he had ever had but it had held all the emotions one person could ever feel for another.
Before she could lay another butterfly kiss against him she was turned to face Fred who smiled as he kissed her forehead and hugged her close. She beamed as she laid her head against his chest and breathed in his scent. It was so sweet, like candied fruit but with a hint of musk. She lifted his shirt off his body and ran her fingers up his toned chest. At that moment she was thankful for Quidditch and what it had done to Fred and George's bodies. She blushed deeply when she found Fred smirking down at her roaming hands.
"You should blush more often." Fred said as he kissed her neck. "It suits you." She shivered as he swooped her up into his arms and carried her over to his bed. George frowning as he fallowed throwing his shirt off before reaching the bed to climb over Hermione next to his brother. It was overwhelming as two sets of hands worked over her. She enjoyed the double sensation but sometimes it was too much, an overload to her senses. She wondered momentarily what it would be like if they ever moved on to the next step.
"Love…" George said kissing her once more; he had been for the past minute with no reaction. "You still in there?" her eyes snapped.
"Oh hello." Fred and George smiled.
"Oh hello?" Fred asked.
"We're clearly not doing our job…" George said.
"Oh no no you're doing your job." She said smiling with a deep blush.
"Your mind was somewhere far off." Fred said
"Was it?" she asked. "I was uh… thinking. I tend to do that."
"About us?" George wondered, she blushed deeply.
"That would be a yes." Fred said smirking.
"What were you thinking about love?"
"Actually I was thinking… about… what seamus said." Fred and George exchanged looks.
"You don't want to be called a little dirty-." She covered Fred's mouth with a laugh.
"No!" she said. "No… it's just… what he said has really been bothering me… everyone is going to be staring at me tomorrow… and the boys… god the way they looked at me was downright vulgar."
"Love… you're not going to have to worry about Seamus…" Fred said.
"Tomorrow the air is going to be cleared I promise." George said. Hermione looked at them before slowly sitting up.
"What did you two do?" she asked. Fred and George smiled as they fallowed her actions.
"You'll find out."
"Don't tell me you slipped him a truth serum because I asked you two not to do that." She said with a worried expression.
"Of course we didn't." George said.
"You asked us not to." Fred said making her smile.
"So did you just prank him into submission or something?" she asked.
"Something like that." The two said.
"So please… don't worry about it." George said.
"You've got enough on your mind…" Fred said.
"So don't waste one more thought on him." Hermione smiled.
"Okay." She said as she got up and pulled on her shirt.
"What are you doing love? I like you without your shirt on." George said.
"Oh I'm sure you do." She said with a smile. "But I don't want to snog. I want to have fun…" she said.
"Fun?" they asked standing.
"Snogging is fun." Fred said with a small pout.
"Mans got a point." George added making Hermione laugh.
"That may be so but… revenge can be sweeter then the best snog…"
"What are you thinking?" The twins asked feeling like a prank request was coming on.
"Well… lavender really helped spread around those rumors about me… I heard her muttering them to everyone…"
"You want to get her back?" George asked with a smile.
"I really do." She said. "Oh that's awful. I'm an awful person…" she shook her head before looking at them. "But I really want to make her pay!" they laughed at her evil look and curled fists.
"What are you thinking?"
"I actually… I think I might not need your help with Lavender… but I need your help with the girls in my old dorm…"
"Okay what can we do with them?"
"Remember that hair color potion you were working on…"
"Yeah?" they asked.
"I need you to make it green."
"Bright green?" he asked.
"No… slytherin green." Hermione said.
"What?" they asked despising the color.
"Just trust me." She said with a smile. "Let's get working." She said rubbing her hands together.
"Alright… Fred get the cauldron ready, Hermione you get the ingredients in that potion book."
"What will you do?" Hermione asked.
"I'm going to figure out how exactly to get the hair potion into their shampoo." Hermione smiled as she watched George head off. She had already figured that part out, but she wanted George to do it on his own, she had a feeling that was his job when it came to pranks with him and Fred and she didn't want to step on any toes.
-o-
It had been two hours and was starting to get late but the potion was coming along nicely.
"Not going to be green enough." Hermione said looking down into the bubbling green potion.
"How can you tell?" Fred asked.
"Oh that's easy." Hermione said with a smile. "As you know Color potions such as this are rated from vibrant, bright, middle scape, or very dark… we need this color somewhere in the middle of middle scape or very dark… right now we're at vibrant which tells me this potion will end up being a neon green instead of a slytherin green. " She said staring at the glowing green.
"How do we make it darker?" he asked.
"Well you know how." She said.
"No I don't…"
"You color peoples hair all the time." She said.
"Yeah but we really don't ever care about the color." Fred said.
"Oh well if you want it lighter you add simple things such as Lemon juice… you want it darker…" she walked over to their ingredients and smiled. "You add something more heavy… such as ash…" she walked over with a vial and poured a little in." the color went dull and no longer glowed it turned to a deep emerald green. "Perfect!" she said with a smile.
"It doesn't say anything about controlling color in the book…" Fred said flipping through the pages.
"It's something I picked up in my studies." She said with a smile. "I can get the book for you if you like."
"I would." Fred said he caught her looking at George was hunched over a desk.
"I'll be right back." She said with a smile. Fred only nodded and watched her walk over to his twin and wrapped her arms around him.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Can't figure out how to get past the charms into the girls wash room." He said. "The only thing I can think of is for you to do it but I don't want you to get in trouble." He said.
"I won't…" she said with a smile. "Trust me."
"You really want to do this?" he asked with a smile.
"Oh I really do." She said with a smile.
"Potions bottled!" Fred called as he walked over. Hermione smiled as she stood to face him.
"Now when you get into the showers you just put-."
"A three count into each bottle." She said with a smile.
"Each bottle is right." George said standing. "You'll not only want to do the shampoo but the conditioner as well." He said.
"Really?" Hermione asks.
"Makes sure that the color stays in longer." Fred said.
"Oh… very good." She said with a smile. "You two think of everything." She kissed them on both of the cheeks. "Now meet me at breakfast tomorrow bright and early around six…" she said with a smile as she kissed them each and ran off.
"She's having a lot of fun." Fred said as the door closed.
"We should involve her in pranks more. She's very smiley tonight." George said.
"I think that's a god idea." Fred said with a smile.
"Cheer her up a bit." George said.
"We should make more prank plans." Fred said.
"Indeed."
