GUYS I AM SO SO SOSOSOOSOSO SORRY. I completely forgot about this story. And I had family issues and my best friend and I were having issues and Christmas and everything so I seriously wish that I had remembered about this to take my mind off everything.

Then back to school and tests and now im sick….IM SO SORRY. But I'm back now and hopefully for a while.

Fred.

"Why does Percy have my ring?" I ask my brother.

George sighs and shakes his head. "He has this whole plan to ruin you two. From what I got, he thinks Hermione will think you're so irresponsible that you could actually lose the ring you were going to propose with."

"'Mione would never believe that!"

"We should tell her. Now that I think about it."

I nod. "I'll tell her. She should be back soon anyway. She was with Gin making wedding arrangements."

"They're making arrangements without me?" Luna asks, wide eyed. She pops away, muttering something about nargles.

"Speaking of weddings…Luna is driving me absolutely barmy. I want mirrors here. I want thestrals to lead me in. I think crumpled-horned snorkacks would be a good gift to everybody. I just want her to shut up!"

"George you know bloody well you don't want her to stop."

He grins. "Of course not but I do want to punch her sometimes. You know I would never hit a bird but…damn she's annoying."

"Georgie. Just imagine. As the two of you are about to make your vows. And you're staring down at her, and she's looking up at you. Will it really matter what's around you?"

George contemplates this for a moment. "I suppose not."

"See I don't know your complete feelings on her seeing as you never told me anything. Not that I mind. Even though I told you about Hermione all the way back in whatever year that was."

He sighs. "Fred-"

"I'm over it bro. Really. Just tell me how you feel about her."

George grins. "She may be a bit barmy and all but she's perfect. She's smart, beautiful, and man…she makes me happier than the shop," He finishes not looking me in the eye.

"Blasphemy!" I shout, laughing along with my brother. "No. No. In all honesty though George, I think she could be dressed in drag and you'd still marry her."

"Probably."

I smile. "Better get some crumple-bone snorlacks, a shite load of mirror and ask Harry to help you find some thestrals then."

George smiles back. "I supposed so. Oh one more thing?"

"Yeah?"

"You're going to be my best man, right mate?"

"Of course bro."

Hermione.

I haven't seen Neville in so long. It's hard to believe we were having lunch together and speaking as though we see each other every day. He's gotten fit since our days at Hogwarts. His shoulders broader and his muscles more toned. I can't imagine how easy it was to get his wife to marry him. He's very handsome!

"'Mione…staring at me is not going to make me fall in love with you. Sorry if that was your intention." Neville grins and I roll my eyes.

"That was not my intention no. But Neville I have to say…your confidence is a slight turn on! I'm almost upset that I didn't go after you during our days in school." I laugh to let him know I'm joking.

"That reminds me. How's Fred? How's your relationship? Last time I saw you the two of you were fighting."

"We're a lot better now. With the fighting at least."

"What do you mean?"

I sigh. "Fred lost my engagement ring,"

Neville raises an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound good."

"It's not."

"Do you think someone took it?"

"I'd like to think that but there's that subconscious feeling that he might have just been…slightly irresponsible and left it somewhere."

"Hermione you don't really think he would do that do you?"

"Of course not! It's just hard to think of plausible reasons."

"Plausible reason number 1, Hermione: Someone took it. Did you have anyone who was upset with you or Fred? Maybe a bit jealous?"

"Percy." I mutter.

"What?"

"Percy! He tried to ask me on a date before Fred and I got together. Oh this makes perfect sense! I knew he was too quiet for someone who swore revenge!"

"What are you going to do about it 'Mione?" Neville asks me, taking another bite of his sandwich.

"I-I-I don't know. Honestly. I'd like to think that he'll realize how silly this is but I'm not sure about that."

"Hermione…maybe you should talk to Fred about this. We'll hang out another time. I think your mind is a bit preoccupied."

I don't even think twice about his offer and I gulp the last drops of my soda. "Thank you Neville." I kiss him on the cheek. "We'll get together again soon."

"Good luck!"

Percy.

I stare long and hard at Penelope trying to make sense of what she's telling me. How is it possible that all this time she's been in love with me? I'm a very smart man. I can't comprehend how I overlooked it.

"Penelope?"

She sighs. "Yes Percy?"

"Can you explain it to me again?"

"Percy…for a smart bloke…you're really stupid." I smile and avert my attention to a wall. From my peripheral vision, I see her smile back at me. "Listen, Percy. I'll put it in layman's terms for you. I. Love. You. I'm in love with you. You're smart. You're ambitious. You may be a workaholic but hey! Someone's gotta make the money. You may have some wacky ideas, including this ring idea right now, but we'll get back to that later-" I sigh, wishing she hadn't brought it up. "-Oh don't give me that. You knew I was going to bring it up eventually. But don't worry about my feelings…it's not like you ever have in the past anyway," she whispers the last part but I still hear her.

To be completely honest, I do love Penelope. Maybe I'm not in love with her but I can learn to be. She's very intelligent, beyond sweet and she may not have all the 'Gryffindor courage' but I know she can hold her own. I feel the ring in my jacket pocket, a burden on my soul right now. Should I continue on with my plan and possibly win Hermione back? Or should I see if I still have a chance with Penelope?

Penelope decides to make that decision for me. "And about your plan…you saw how Hermione and Fred were together. They're inseparable at this point. She loves him. She's in love with him and the same goes for him towards her. She's going to believe him over you any day and she definitely won't appreciate you stealing her engagement ring, which by the way, you should return before she ends up hating you. At least if you do it quickly you still have a chance to be at least friends with her. As you know that anything more will most likely never transpire."

"Penelope…"

"I can see all the little gears in your head turning at this point and I think I should give you a break before your brain implodes. It's a lot to take in I know. And there's a lot that you have to think about. Maybe you can get back to me about what's going on but for right now I'm not sure if I can stay just friends with you for much longer. It hurt Percy. To give you advice on Hermione for the past few months. It hurt. And I love you but honestly. You need to get your shit together. We'll talk soon Percy. Hopefully."

I finally decide to speak up. "Hermione-oh-no-oh-I meant Penelope…"

She shakes her head and grabs some floo powder. "Bye Percy. Like I said before. Get your shite together."

I'm sorry it's so short. And I'm sorry it sucks so much. I just wanted to get something up before you guys stop reading :/ If you haven't already…

Please review with ideas or pitches or whatever. If you give me ideas I'll update faster!
