The next day Ginny flood over to the burrow. As she stepped out of the fireplace she saw the twins waiting for her.

"You ready?" Fred asked, she nodded.

"Let's get this over with."

"Harry arrived five minutes ago. He's already in the kitchen." George led her to the kitchen, their mother was putting on a fresh pot of tea while Harry sat across from her on the table nervously twirling his fingers. Ginny made her way over to Harry and gave him a small smile. She took in a deep breath before turning to her mother.

"Mum? Can we talk?" Mrs. Weasley turned around and Ginny gestured her to sit down. The twins already sat down next to her. Mum looked worriedly at them.

"Is something wrong? It isn't Hermione right?"

"No mum, Hermione's fine. Harry and I have an announcement." Her voice trembled at the last part. Harry noticed it and stepped in.

"Molly. Gin and I have decided to separate." Molly's eyes went big, looking between her daughter and Harry. "We love each other but we grew apart."

Grew apart? Molly mouthed, clearly not understanding.

"Mum, I know this is hard but it just wasn't meant to be. Our relationship has been in trouble for a while now but neither of us had to nerve to call it quits."

"But you love each other and have been together for years, surely you can work this out?"

"Mum, we tried! We have been trying but it just not working."

"I love your daughter and probably always will but we are not in love and I think we all know how important that is."

Molly was trying very hard not to let her tears fall. "You are absolutely sure?"

The exes nodded. Molly let out a sigh and stood up, crossing the table and hugging her daughter tight before moving on to Harry.

"I just want you to be happy. And Harry you will always be apart of our family."

"Thanks Molly."

"Now if you will excuse me, I have rooms to clean." She quickly made her way upstairs. They heard her bedroom door close behind her.

"That went better than expected." George looked up the stairs before turning to the rest. They all nodded in agreement. After an awkward silence Harry made his way to the living room.

"I'm gonna get going." He turned towards Ginny. "Gin, I – I'm always available if you want to talk. I know it wont be easy in the beginning but I really do hope we'll stay friends."

Ginny made her way over and gave him a quick hug.

"I hope so to." And with a last wave Harry stepped in the fireplace and dissapeared with green flash.

Ginny dropped down on the couch and let out a sigh. The twins dropping down on either side of her wrapping and arm around her shoulders.

"It will all be okay."

"I know. I already feel like there is weight lifted from my shoulders.""Maybe we should press harder then?" George smirked at Fred. Both pushed their arms down but Ginny already grabbed a pillow and smacked it across their faces before laughing.

It was Tuesday night and George just finished packing when he heard a knock on his front door. He zipped up his bag and took it with him. Dropping it down next to the fireplace before opening the door.

"Hi, firecracker."

"Hi." Ginny walked in and dropped her bag next to George's. She looked around as she flopped down on the sofa. "Where is Fred?"

"Doing some book keeping down stairs." George walked over and took the seat in front of her.

"Great! So.. what's the plan for tomorrow?"

"I'm just going to tell her the truth." George shrugged.

"Is she going to believe you?"

"Yeah, think so. We actually never lied to her. Evaded questions or bending the truth maybe but never lie. And she knows that."

"I hope you're right." She sighed and leaned back against the sofa. George flicked his wand and two glasses and a bottle of fire whiskey flew over.

"What do you think about them, you know together?" Ginny asked as she took a sip from her drink.

"Hmm… In school we had our rows with her you know. I think he never saw her in that way before. But after the wall-" his voice trembled at the thought. "things changed. The Ron and Hermione thing fizzled out before it even started. Hermione broke free from Ron and Harry, thinking about herself for once. She opened up more, to me, to Fred, even Charlie. Fred changed to. He became quieter and thinks twice before jumping in. With her saving his live and looking after him, we all grew close. But Fred and Hermione formed a close friendship. I honestly think they're perfect for each other. They bring out the best in each other you know?"

Ginny gave him a small smile. "Yeah, I think so too. I think they needed the time to grow and find themselves before finding each other. They obviously love each other and it started as friends but I think that since that night it all changed. For the both of them. Mum is still hoping Hermione will be an official Weasley." She let out a chuckle and George joined in. "But she probably wouldn't think that Fred would be the one. We all knew they had a close friendship but nothing ever happened you know. I think most of us thought it was a brother/sister relationship. And with Fred's conquests the last years."

"Yeah, I'm glad that's over. You know how awkward it was when you wake up and a stranger is in your kitchen. Besides Hermione was unavailable for most of the time too. She had a few long term relationships. I think most of us thought she would marry Sam you know."

"And know they are both single and clearly fancy each other. We – you really need to fix it."

"I know. I'll do everything I can Gin. Never seen Fred so down because of a girl."

They both took a sip from their fire whiskey as they made themselves comfortable. They sat in silence for a while both lost in thought before Fred made his way upstairs. Fred walked in with a black ledger tucked under his arm as he walked through the living room and sat down next to Ginny. With a wave of his wand a glass flew from the kitchen straight into his hand. He smiled up at George after he filled his glass.

"What are you grinning about?"

"Great news Georgie." Fred took the ledger and threw it across the coffee table into his twins hands. "We have never had such a huge profit before. Even if we put some aside or invest in some new products I still think we can open a second shop. Maybe not far down the line a third one abroad."

George opened the ledger and his eyes scanned each page carefully. His eyes widened as he looked back up.

"That's amazing. We talked about it before but know we can actually do it! Zonko's is still up for sale in Hogsmeade." He said thoughtfully. "We don't even have to open it full time. Just the Hogsmeade weekends, extra days in the holiday period and we can do the owl delivery to Hogwarts from there. That will cut out some of the cost."

"Yeah, flip a bit further." Fred pointed at the ledger. George started flipping through the pages until Fred called out. "Stop. There, see? I already worked out the costs. For the building, hiring, shipping costs everything."

"Merlin Fred!" Ginny exclaimed. "Is that why you were downstairs so long?"

Fred just nodded grinning at his sister. Even with everything going on with Hermione. He couldn't stop smiling. A second shop! They hoped of course that their shop would work out but that it would be that successful even surprised them.

"I'm so happy for you two. You really deserve it!" She wrapped Fred in a hug before moving to George and doing the same. She pulled back and smiled between the boys. "You guys are brilliant. I'm heading of the bed."

"Night Gin."

"Goodnight Ginny. Oh wake up on time yeah? We leave at 9." George added quickly. He knew his sister, he knew she could sleep until noon if you let her. She nodded her reply and made her way to Fred's room.

"So I guess I'm bunking with you tonight?" Fred asked chuckling as his sister claimed his room.

The next morning at the breakfast table they sat there all in their pajamas's. Ginny had a fleece red/gold Gryffindor pajama with a lion on her chest. George had red checkered pants on with matching sweater. And Fred had a pajama bottom that was filled with bludgers. On his chest a large bludger that soured around his front.

They were discussing the shop as they ate Belgian waffles. Ginny was on her third helping when Zonko's came up.

"Lee is covering the shop today with Verity. So I have time of. I thought I would visit Hogsmeade check out the shop."

"Oh. Yeah that's a great idea Fred. Keep me posted will you if anything happens before I get back."

"How long will you stay there?"

"Just until Friday."

"O-ok." Fred looked down at his half eaten waffle. His mind going back to Hermione. The news for a second shop had been a great distraction for him but know it hit him like bludger.

"Fred. It's going to be fine. I'm going to make this right!"

Fred just hummed a response and stood up. "I'm opening the shop before Lee gets here."

Ginny and George looked up in surprise as Fred turned and walked to the front door.

"Fred!" He yelled and Fred slowly turned. "Maybe put some clothes on?"

Fred looked down at his legs and let out a breath. He ran to his bedroom and came out not even a minute later dressed in his magenta robes.

George sighed as he cleared the table.

"We better get going Ginny."

After the table was cleared they quickly changed in some comfortable clothes sand stepped in the fireplace. Bags in one hand, hands locked in each other with the other. Ginny looked up at her brother and gave a short nod.

"Charlie's cabin!" George bellowed and they disappeared from the flat.
