So sorry my lovely readers. Life just got in the way. But I'm back and I hope you all enjoy!

Hermione went to her dorm to write to her parents about the unchanged of plans. So basically saying that she couldn't make it and that she would need a dress for the Yule ball. She explained why the unchanged plans were.

Dear Mum and Dad,

I can't make it for the Christmas break. I have exams the week we return so to get a good start, I'm going to stay here and study. I hope you don't mind, that I do. As for Christmas they're going to have a small party for the ones that stay, so could please send me a dress please. Fred and his family and also Harry is staying so I won't be alone, so I will have friends here. Please let me know about your decision about me staying.

Love,

Hermione

Hermione sealed the role of parchment, and quickly went to the owlry along with Fred. To send the letter to her parents. Fred started to walk out but Hermione turn around.

"What are you wearing?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, yeah. Dress robes. Mum sent me Bill's and George one of Charlie's since we're built like them." Fred replied bashfully.

"I see. I bet you would look truly handsome," Hermione smile.

"Me Handsome? Mione you got it all wrong." Fred said as Hermione gave him a confused look.

Fred chuckle at Hermione's reaction. "Mione, I'm joking, I'll be incredibly handsome. George is the unattractive twin,"

"Keep telling yourself that?" Hermione walked away giggling.

"Oi, Hermione. Wait! What do you mean by that." Fred called as he ran after her.

Hermione laughing as Fred chased her as they ran back to the common room. There they were met with everyone crowded around Ron as he looked in shock.

"What's wrong with him?" Hermione asked Ginny as she was sitting next to him.

"He tried to talk to one," Ginny laughed.

"Who?" George asked.

"Her name is Fluer declar, she is so beautiful, soon as I went to ask her, I couldn't speak, nothing came out," Ron spoke from his trance.

Fred and George howled with laughter. Hermione look over at the with a glare that said later that made them both shut up quickly. Hermione proceeded on asking questions.

" Ron are you alright?" Hermione asked.

"Sure I'm fine, could you tell me what I have done wrong?" Ron asked confused.

" Well for starters you have to speak to ask someone. Not saying will make you look like an Idiot," Hermione said trying not to laugh.

Come on George. Let's take Ron on a lessons on how to ask a girl out since you haven't yet," Fred told George as he got up and went over to Ron, George was right with him as they drug Ron out if the portrait door.

Hermione shook her head. " Boys,"

Fred and George took Ron along for George's quest for asking Angelina to the Yule Ball. George was nervous but he didn't let it show. When they found Angelina in the great hall. She was there eating a raspberry tart. Fred, George, and Ron sat the corner facing Angelina.

Hey Angelina. Do you want to go to the ball with me." George asked with a big grin.

"Sure George, I'll go with you," Angelina said with a grin.

"Now Ron. As you seen how George done it. It takes words to ask out a bird. Do you understand now?" Fred asked Ron after the lesson from George.

"I'm not stupid, Fred" Ron retorted.

"Could of fooled me," George muttered.

Ron gave his brothers a stone glare and stormed out of the great hall.

"I say what a right git. I wonder who he gets it from?" Fred asked George.

"Don't know. I reckon we'll figure it out one day. How about a fever fudge in his dinner tonight!" George requested.

"Wicked!" Fred said with a wide grin as he high five his twin.

The plan was in full swing where Fred and Hermione will be Cedric and Victor free for the night.

Hermione stood infront of her mirror with her long periwinkle gown. Ginny just finished her hair.

"Ginny, thank you so much, I thought I would never get the mess tamed." Hermione said excitedly.

You look beautiful, Hermione. You're going to knock Fred socks off when he see you," Ginny said proudly.

"What time is it?" Hermione asked.

"7:30" Ginny repiled.

"Oh no! I'm late! I have to meet Fred at the Great Hall." Hermione cried.

"Don't worry he'll be the one that's late, it's normal for a young lady to be late." Ginny grinned.

"Now I you Weasley's are related," Hermione laughed. "See you soon"

Hermione hurried out of her dorm and made her way down to the common room. As soon as she hit the last step to run out of the portrait door.

"Hermione? Love?" Fred called from where he said in the arm chair.

Hermione turned around, with a slight blush the grew on her cheeks.

"Wow! Hermione, you look very beautiful," Fred said softly.

"Thank you; You look handsome as well," Hermione quietly.

Fred walk over to her, and stood in front of her as his hand softly touched her cheek.

"You look beautiful when you blush," Fred said in a husky voice.

Hermione look deep into Fred's eyes as she knew what he wanted. As she wanted to kiss him as well. Then she remembered they were taking things slow this time. So she adverted her eyes away.

"So, should we be going," hermione said uncomfortably.

" Uh sure, let's get going then," as Fred dropped his hand from her cheek and start heading to the Great Hall.

George and Angelina were in front of the Great Hall waiting for them.

"You two ready?" George asked.

"All plans a go?" Fred questioned.

"Fire at way," George grinned.

Angelina and Hermione were talking their plans out.

"Well shall we ladies," Fred asked as him and George held their arms out for Hermione and Angelina.

"We shall,"Hermione said as she took Fred's arm as to threw Angelina a grin.

Hope you all like you know what to do, until next time! Sorry for the cliffhanger!
