Chapter 25- Nobody knows to Everyone Knows

They, they being Hermione, Harry and Adie, got the train the next morning. At Kings Cross, they met up with Adie's dad and Lupin and headed back to Grimmauld Place. Sirius was overjoyed to have the kids back in his house. There was no sign of the Weasley's and Hermione smirked when Adie asked where they all were. Franklin answered.

"They're still at the hospital aren't they! They winnae be home till later..."

Hermione whispered on her friend's ear.

"That'll give you plenty of time to tell your dad!"

Adie glared at her. So far it was only Hermione that knew about the incident with her and George, though Adrian knew that she'd have to tell her dad at some point...rather than him finding out himself.

"Tell her dad what?"

Both the girls looked over at Harry. He was sipping some tea and looking at them curiously. He had dark circles under his eyes from where Snape had kept him up all night learning Occlumency, which Hermione had explained, to a very confused Adie, was the guide to protecting your mind from invasion.

"Oh nothing Harry!"

He raised an eyebrow, obviously not believing them. Hermione smiled sweetly and then walked away to admire the Christmas tree. Adie ran a hand through her hair and cast another glance at the door.

"Looking for someone?"

She looked over at Harry, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

"No...maybe...yes..."

Harry's jaw dropped a little.

"Did something happen that I should know about?"

Adie tried to look innocent, but failed miserably. Her friend sucked in a breath.

"So did George finally ask you?"

"I'm not one to kiss and tell..."

Hermione lent on the table.

"But your certainly one to kiss in front of your friends!"

Adie flushed scarlet.

"I didn't know you were awake! Besides if I hadn't done that then George would probably have never spoken to me again!"

Harry chuckled.

"So he did!"

The girls nodded. Harry looked impressed.

"Well, that's Fred's devious plan screwed."

Adie frowned.

"Beg your pardon?"

"Fred had an ingenious plan to get you two together, honestly it was a work of art according to him."

The blonde shook her head, very unimpressed by her new boyfriend's twin. Suddenly the door to the kitchen opened and Remus walked in with Franklin and Sirius.

"We've just heard from Molly. They're bringing Arthur home!"

They all grinned.

"Great, so he'll be here for Christmas!"

Lupin nodded. Franklin sat next to his daughter and she lent her head on his shoulder. They looked nothing alike, apart from one feature. Their stormy grey eyes. Adie had always been proud to have that in common with her dad.

She bit her lip as she thought about how he might take the news of his little girl being in a relationship. He was usually very protective, and she wondered whether or not he might actually kill George. She knew her fears would be answered later when the Weasley crew arrived.

And that wasn't until after dinner time. Adie and Hermione were just finishing clearing the table, whilst Harry reread the days issue of the Daily Prophet. Franklin was puffing a cigar in the corner, Remus had left and Sirius had gone to feed Buckbeak: the hippogriff Harry had saved in his thirds year. The front door slammed at everybody looked up.

"Hey."

Ron's head poked into the kitchen and Harry grinned. The red-head inhaled deeply and they all heard a small growl from his stomach.

"Any dinner left?"

Hermione laughed.

"We saved you a plate, Ron."

"Yes!"

Ginny, Fred and George walked in shortly after. They looked tired, but happy. Adie caught George's eye and blushed. She noted how Ginny sent her a knowing look and wondered whether she knew or not.

"So how's your Dad?"

"Well Mum's going to be home with him shortly, but they're just gonna put him to bed."

Both Adie and Hermione joined them all at the table. Adie sat right next to George and her hand rested a little ways from his. He smirked and laced their fingers, pressing a small kiss to her knuckles.

"Missed you..."

He spoke quietly, so not to attract any unwanted attention. Adie couldn't hide the fact that her heart skipped when he said that, nor the various shades of red her cheeks were as she blushed yet again.

"Missed you too!"

George grinned, he knew that they'd only really started going out, but he didn't care, the cuteness of her flushed face and wide eyes just made him feel like the luckiest guy ever. Without even thinking he placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"No way!"

The pair looked over to see that Ron was staring dead at them. The dumbstruck boy pointed from one to the other.

"You? And you?"

Hermione snorted.

"Wow...I am truly amazed how you figured that out."

Sarcasm laced her voice thickly.

"Well I knew they fancied each other..."

George rolled his eyes at his little brother, but he did fail to hide his red, embarrassed cheeks.

"Honestly, Ron, I asked her out big deal!"

When Adie tensed, he realised who was in the room. Franklin had lost his eyebrows to his hairline and the cigar dropped onto the floor. Adie watched as her dad struggled for words. In the end he ended up snorting and saying gruffly.

"Gah it'll make nae difference what I say, its yer life!"

He stalked out of the room, sending George a weird look. Adie ran a hand through her hair and looked at George.

"I'd better go and talk to him."

She got up, squeezing her boyfriend's hand, and walked out. George turned round. Both Harry and Hermione looked highly amused by the turn of events, Ron was chortling into his second dinner, whilst Ginny was acting as if it was the most normal thing in the world, but Fred looked positively ticked off.

"You do realise that you've now destroyed two months of scheming!"

George furrowed his eyebrows then Fred started laughing.
