I don't own Harry Potter
"We got it Fred, we got it!"
Hermione looked up from the book she was reading and shock her head. On the other side of the room was Fred and George jumping up and down of excitement, they were acting like five year olds at Christmas eve. She closed the book and walked over to the twins who was now spinning a scared first year student round and round, laughing as they did so.
"Fred and George Weasley you put the first year down right now!" The boys stopped spinning and released the first year that quickly ran to her friends.
"What was that good for?" Hermione crossed her arms and gave the twins a stern look
"Love we got it, we got the place in Diagonally!" Hermione looked at her boyfriend, not understanding what he was talking about.
"What?"
"The place for our joke shop" Fred screamed as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"Congratulations guys" Hermione was smiling, before she got a chance to say anything more both twins had picked her up in a double huge.
"You help us fix the place up, right?" George said as he let go off her.
"Of course. I wouldn't even dare to leave the two of you to do it on your own, who know what it would look like if I did" Fred looked hurt but George was only smiling like a madman.
"Hermione" Fred had let go of her to. "Me and George are moving out because there is an apartment on top of the shop" He paused, searching for the right words "I was wondering if you might like to move in with us?" he was looking stubbornly at his feet will he talked.
"Fred look at me!" Hermione put her hand under his chin and forced him to look at her. "You know that I hate to be in the way for Molly, I would love to stay with you!" She kissed him softly on the lips, at the same time Harry and Ginny came in through the portrait hole and George proudly told them about the Joke shop. Fred looked down at his girlfriend, she had tears in her eyes and he knew it was for thinking about her parents.
"Come, let's talk about it" He led the way up the stairs and in to his and Georges room.
"I´m missing them" Tears was now running freely down her cheeks, Fred pulled her closer to calm her.
"I know love" He hated seeing her this way
"I still have the house, I don't know what to do with it"
When Hermione´s parents had died in a car accident a year ago they had left her with everything except their dentist clinic who they had left in the care of a co-worker they trusted. It had been the day after the second task that Dumbledore had told her about the accident and her world had fall apart. It had quickly been made arrangement for her, she was underage and needed a guardian. The Weasley family had stepped in since they already saw her as a daughter. But she had not set foot at her parents' house; she didn't have the strength to do it.
"You don't need to do anything before you're ready and when you are I´ll come with you!" He placed a kiss on top of her head and held her close, giving her time to calm down.
The rest of the semester past by quickly and soon it was time to board the train back to London.
"Our last ride with this" George said as the group sat down. The train ride was spent playing cards, talking and just enjoying the time and before they knew it the train stopped in London.
Mrs. Weasley came in view as they dragged their trunks over the platform, Luna and Neville had already left with the promise to write. Mrs. Weasley hugged all her children (except Ron who didn't seemed to be there), Hermione and Harry before she started pushing them in front of her and out to the muggle part of King's Cross. Mrs. Weasley assured Harry that they would pick him up in a few weeks and told her children (still no Ron) and Hermione to hurry up. Ginny was the first one to mention Ron and when she did Mrs. Weasley stopped, turning around to look at them and then said in a low voice.
"Apparently his family isn't important any more, he doesn't want anything to do with blood traitors like us" How she managed to say all of that without crying none of them understood.
"Ooh and Hermione dear don't blame yourself, you didn't do anything wrong" Mrs. Weasley smiled at Hermione before she continued walking.
It took most part of the summer to fix the shop and the apartment but when it all was done everyone who had helped was proud.
"Let's celebrate by going out to dinner" George declared as they put the last things on the shelves, the store was to be open the following day. The workers (Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Neville, Luna, Charlie (who happened to be in England at the moment) and of course Fred) agreed on the idea. So a few hour later they all stood outside the joke shop trying to decide where to go. It ended when Hermione, Ginny and Luna had had enough and just dragged the boys to the nearest restaurant.
"You're moving in to night?" Charlie asked as they had finished the dinner.
"Yes, mum is not too pleased about us moving or us dragging Hermione with us, apparently we are no good company for a young woman" George winked at Hermione who clearly remembered the conversation earlier this summer with Mrs. Weasley
"You doing what?" Mrs. Weasley looked at her sons as if to force them to rethink
"Were moving out" George said
"And Hermione is coming with us!" Fred filled in
"Who's stupid idea was that?"
"Mum were all old enough to make this decision" George tried to argue
"You most definitely are not!" Mrs. Weasley was not fond of the idea of letting her sons move out and them taking with them Hermione who she saw as a daughter
"The two of you are not a good company for a young woman like Hermione" Mrs. Weasley stated as if it was the end of the conversation. Fred began to say something but Hermione broke him of
"Mrs. Weasley"
"Call me Molly dear"
"Molly, I know that it must be hard to see you're children grow up especially as Ron just left, but they won't be far away and if I´m right they will come back here to eat often. I wish to move with them to see if it works, if we can't live together then were just not right for each other and I need to know if we are. I promise that if the boys becomes too much I´ll come back, I value you're opinion but you can't make me change this decision, not yet." Hermione paused taking a deep breath before she continued
"You're like a mother to me and I love you for that, for not trying to replace my mum but still being there like a mother should" The both women embraced each other and Molly had tears in her eyes as they pulled back.
"Okay move out, but know that I warned you!"
"Well not hard to guess she would think that, but I´m surprised she actually is letting it happen" Ginny said looking poignantly at Hermione. Hermione shock her head and muttered "Not here". Ginny dropped the subject but Hermione knew that she would be waiting to interrogate her about it when they were alone. The group left and as they walked back to the Twins shop they talked about the opening the next day, they had all agreed on helping the first week except Charlie who would only be there on the opening day because he had to get back to Romania.
"Just be here half an hour before we open and were jeans and black t-shirts" Fred said before they all went different ways. Charlie took Ginny and Harry with him as he appeared to the Borrow, Luna and Neville went to the Leaky Cauldron to floo home and George, Fred and Hermione went up to the apartment to spend their first night there.
A week later it was time for Hermione to go back to Hogwarts and Fred followed her to the train.
"I love you" Hermione said as she let go off Fred´s hand
"I love you too, promise me you write every day?" Hermione laughed
"Every day?" she asked looking at her boyfriend to see if he was joking
"Every day! And I´ll come to see you in Hogsmeade" He promised her before he gave her one last kiss. She boarded the train and as it left the platform she waved until she couldn't see Fred anymore. This year was going to be a long year.
