George followed Fred into the room and assisted him in getting comfy in his bed before handing him his pain potion and a glass of water.

"Is she okay now Fred?" George asked his brother sincerely

"She's okay for now Georgie, but she's struggling, which is understandable, she's been through hell and back."

A small barely audible knock came on the door

"Freddie, Georgie can I come in" Fred and George had not heard Ginny's voice be as small since before she was at Hogwarts

"yes Gin come on in" George replied

Ginny entered and closed the door behind her. Her face was tear stained and blotchy. George opened his arms and Ginny bounded over tucking herself under his arm and settled herself next to him on his bed opposite Fred's.

"Come on Gin, you going to tell us what's wrong"

She tried to keep the tears that were glistening in her eyes from falling but did not manage to succeed.

"it… it's… m…my…fault…that…Hermione…h…h…had her panic attack" Ginny choked out the sentence.

"Gin it's no one's fault that Hermione had a panic attack, we have all just fought in a bloody war. These things are going to happen. It is a process, were all going to struggle with things. Somethings we will all never get over. Shit. we were young kids fighting in a war we've all seen and done things we shouldn't have had to and we've all lost people we were close to, people that should have been here to see us all grow up. But Gin and listen to me now do not ever and I mean ever blame yourself for anything that comes as an aftermath to this war. The only person to blame is old mouldy shorts and his bloody minions." Fred finished his statement and took a deep breath.

Ginny looked in awe of her older brother before she threw herself onto his lap and squeezed him tight only letting go of Fred when she heard him hiss in pain. "Merlin Gin I'm recovering from a bloody wall falling on me and you're not a tiny little witch either anymore" Fred said with a smile.

"Well excuse me for needing to thank my brother for making me feel better" Ginny answered with a laugh.

"Gin what exactly were you and Hermione talking about before she had her panic attack"

Ginny blushed " erm, well I may or may not have asked Mione if she was going to tell me about why she wouldn't let Ron kiss her after they both kissed during the final battle when they were in the chamber of secrets."

"oh Gin" George said with a Grin "really, she isn't letting him kiss her"

"nope," Ginny said popping the P on the word " anytime he tries to hold her hand she forcibly slides her hand away from his and when he tried to give her a peck on the cheek earlier today and she made sure to turn her head and get him to miss"

"you two are bigger gossips that Charlie and Bill, I swear. Perhaps she just doesn't want to be to close to anyone after everything that has happened."

"Okay Freddie, sure." Said George a mischievous look spreading across his face. "and her snuggling up in bed with you earlier hasn't got anything to do with it" Fred went bright red and George managed to laugh while Fred hit him in the face with a pillow.

Ginny was laughing at the twin's antics and taking note of Fred's cheeks glowing crimson. "Freddie?" Ginny asked tentatively "how long have you like Mione"

Fred began to splutter "err I don't know what you're on about" Ginny looked at him and right there in that moment he knew he would spill the beans.

"Since she began teasing us in sixth year, especially during the Triwizard tournament. I've just not said anything and tried to move on because she's always been so interested in Ron" Fred said looking at his hands in his lap and ignoring the shock on his twins face.

"Fred, why didn't you say anything to me"

"Because Georgie I knew that you would make fun and I couldn't do that to her. Especially when she fancies Ron and I really like her. Like really like her George. There has not been a day throughout this bloody war that I have not worried about her. I really had to keep it together when Ron left them and I even tried to stay at Bills after she had gone to sleep so that I could tell him and Harry to leave her with us. She'd already been through to bloody much" and with that the dam broke and Fred started to cry "George you didn't see her after Malfoy manner, the things she must have been through and I heard everything the Medi-witches said to her. She was so hurt George and she is even more hurt because she came and fought at Hogwarts. They said she's always going to be in pain because that evil bitch didn't let up torturing her and she's that underweight from being on the run and not eating properly they don't know what permanent damage all of it has done to her."

George and Ginny held Fred between them.

"Freddie" Ginny said placing a kiss to his forehead "I think you need to give yourself credit and let this thing with Hermione happen if it happens. She always thought she was going to end up with Ron, but everything has changed. Worry about getting better and then worry about your love life"

Fred had drifted off to sleep. George and Ginny made Fred comfy hugged each other and headed downstairs both a bit shaken by what there always smiling brother had just said. Ginny had always thought Hermione was too good for Ron.
