Thank you all so much, love you all!
I own nothing at all, I wish I did... but I don't and that's sad! I going to go cry now, but not before I write this chapter!
Fred and Hermione apparated into the living room of Number 12 Grimmauld Place and saw that nobody was there.
"They must be in the kitchen, come on lets go find George." Fred said
"Not so fast. Where have you been?" Fred and Hermione turned around to find that Ron was standing in the doorway blocking their exit
"None of your business." Fred calmly said
"Yes it is." Ron retorted
"And how it that Ronald?" Hermione asked
"I didn't tell you to speak, you mudblood." Ron spat
"Never call her that again, never call anyone that." Fred said loosing his temper
"Or what? What are you going to do to me Fred? beat me up, pull pranks on me, tell mummy?" Ron asked laughing
"Yes, yes and oh yeah yes better run Ickle-Ronniekins, you don't want mummy to find you so soon now do you." Fred said and this time it was his time to laugh
When Fred said this Ron paled slightly, no one in their right mind would would want to feel the wrath of one Mrs Molly Weasley.
"Do your best I dare you" Ron said walking away from the room
"Oh don't worry, I plan to" Fred shouted after his brother
"Come on lets go find the others." Hermione said pulling Fred out of the room.
"Okay, I imagine that George would be with Sirius and Harry." Fred said
"Kitchen?" Hermione asked
"Kitchen!" Fred confirmed
Fred and Hermione walked into the kitchen to see George, Ginny, Sirius and Harry sitting round the table
"Hey kids, Molly, Bill and Charlie went out for a while to shell cottage and wont be back for at least a day, so guess who is stuck baby sitting you all." Sirius said
"Please don't say its gran!" Fred joked
"No, but I can arrange that if you would like if you don't want to be with me, Remus and Tonks." Sirius laughed
"I think I will stay here with you guys, as much as I love our dear Grandmother, I would much prefer to be in the care and company of two of the Marauders." Fred said
"Wise decision!" Sirius said " Hermione, aren't those books a bit heavy?"
"Oh, I forgot I was still holding these!" Hermione said
"No worry, Fred would you be so kind to show Hermione where her room is, after all you are going that way." Sirius said
"Sure" Fred said taking Hermione's hand and leading her out of the room
Fred walked Hermione up several flights of stairs and to a landing with two rooms on it
"This is your room." Fred said pointing to a door on the right of the landing " And this is mine, well and George's" Fred said pointing to a door opposite to Hermione's on the left.
"Right well that's handy. give me a second to put these books away" Hermione said opening the door to her bedroom. it was a simple room with a bed, dresser, wardrobe and a bookshelf and that was pretty much it.
A few seconds later Hermione reappeared from her room
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, there is a bathroom just around the corner." Fred said pointing to the corner
"Okay. lets go back down to the kitchen to see if Tonks and Remus are here yet." Hermione said
Fred and Hermione arrived back in the kitchen a few minutes later
"So, how do you like you room Hermione?" Sirius asked
"Its rather nice thank you" Hermione replied
"Your welcome" Sirius replied
"HERMIONE!" Tonks screamed
"Tonks, how have you been?" Hermione said leaping up from her chair and giving Tonks a hug
"Good, how about you, we have a lot to talk about miss!" Tonks replied
"I've been fine, and yes we have got a lot to talk about." Hermione smirked
"Ugh. girls!" George laughed
"Shut it you." Tonks said pulling Hermione away to the library
Once Tonks lead Hermione to the library and Hermione created a mental map in her head she walked in
"Best put a silencing spell on the door." Hermione said " Don't want everyone hearing"
"True." Tonks said and put the silencing spell on the door and sat down opposite Hermione
"So what do you want to talk about?" Hermione asked
"Why did you never tell me about you and Fred?" Tonks asked
"Well, it all happened so fast really, why didn't you tell me about Remus?" Hermione asked back
"The same as you I guess, anyway haw did you know about me and Remus, we haven't told anyone." Tonks said
"Oh please, its so obvious." Hermione said
"Do you think anyone else knows?" Tonks asked
"Nah, not everyone is as observant as me you know!" Hermione laughed
"True. anyway how did it all happen, you and Fred I mean." Tonks asked
"Well it all started with a chart really. Fred found me crying in the common room one night because of what Ronald said to me and he was really nice and let me hang out with him, George and Lee, and we pulled a few pranks over the course of the day, then we found Ron with Malfoy and they called me a Mudblood and Fred stood up for me and then my feelings really started developing, I mean you already knew I had a small crush on him and we concluded that it was a schoolgirl crush, but this time it was like I was falling hard and I couldn't do anything to stop myself, so I told Ginny and She must have told George because together they managed to get me and Fred to go down to the kitchens expecting to meet them there but instead we met each other, Dobby told us that we practically like each other and yeah, it kinda went on like that." Hermione explained " What about you and Remus"
"Wow that seems amazing, Remus just manned-up and asked me out and of course I said yes after all me and you have talked about and ut went from there, we haven't told anyone yet, but we are planning to in a couple of days on Christmas eve or something." Tonks explained
"Aww, you two make such a cute couple!" Hermione said
"So do you and Fred Remus now owes me five galleons." Tonks said
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked
"Well me and Remus had a bet about you and Fred. I said he wouldn't ask you out of pure nerve, someone else would intervene, and Remus said that he would man-up and do it by himself." Tonks said
"Fair enough." Hermione said "Come on lets go back down stairs and catch up with the others, we will talk again later." Hermione said
"Okay." Tonks said removing the silencing spell and walking out of the library with Hermione and back to the kitchen.
"Oi, Remus, you owe me five galleons." Tonks said walking over to him
"Damn it." Remus said handing over five galleons to her
"Thank you very much" Tonks said
"What shall we have for tea then?" Sirius asked
"What about a muggle take-away?" Harry said
"Yeah, I haven't had one in so long, we could get pizza." Hermione said
"Sure, anyone else in this room except Harry and Hermione ever had this 'peet-za' thing?" Sirius asked
"It is 'pizza' and yes I have" Remus said
"Great, you can order, don't worry I will pay." Sirius said
"Fine, anyone got a number?" Remus asked
"Yes, I always keep on in my bag, don't ask why!" Hermione said " Give me a minute." She said and ran upstairs
A little under an hour everyone had a large amount of pizza in front of them
"Where is Ron?" Remus asked
"Charlie came back and took him to shell cottage. this stuff is amazing, why have I never had it before?" Sirius said
"Because you and James would never trust me when I said you should try some muggle food." Remus said
"Oh yeah. good times." Sirius laughed
"Indeed they were!" Remus agreed
everyone laughed and continued to eat their pizza. When everyone was done they all went to the living room and talked until late into the evening
"Well, I'm going to bed." Remus said getting up and walking to the door "Night"
"Same here. night" Sirius said
"Me to night." Tonks said
"Oh yes, Fred, Hermione can I quickly talk to you a second." Sirius said
"Sure. Night harry, Ginny." Fred " See you later George." Fred said
"Night everyone." Hermione said
Hermione and Fred followed Sirius out of the room and into the kitchen
"Now, I understand that whilst at Hogwarts you both shared and room and bed." Sirius began and Hermione blushed " Don't be embarrassed, I just want to say that if you two want to continue doing that, I am fine with it, but we will need to figure out away where Molly wont find out when she is here, but we will sort that out tomorrow."
"Thank you mate" Fred said
"No worries, night" Sirius said
"Good night" Hermione said still slightly blushing
"Come on lets go to sleep." Fred said
Fred and Hermione walked upstairs to her room and got changed, Fred in his room and Hermione in hers. when they were both done they got into bed, said good night to each other,kissed goodnight and held each other close and tight, falling asleep in each others arms.
When George got to bed He didn't see Fred, but he knew exactly where he was, so he didn't bother trying to find him and just went to sleep.
A much longer chapter, but meh, I wont be able to update until tomorrow evening sometime as I have to keep up with course work and stuff. Thank you all so much 3
