Chapter 9

Hermione's POV

"Well, Max now that we both know each other can we come through?"

" No!"

" Why ever not Max?"

" You can't until you agree to be my girlfriend."

" Well, I will just have to go in a different direction because I don't want to be your girlfriend."

" Then, I might just have to stop you from leaving. Gang!" The gang surrounded me and Fred. Fred was the first one to throw a punch, punching the leader and his gang before they can punch him and I. Fred managed to knock out the leader and they ran toward the mall. It wasn't that much longer 'till we arrived there. It's a big mall full of muggle things that Fred has never seen. I don't know how I'm going to get him out, with that muggle obsession he has. He most certainly got that feature from Mr Weasley.

" Here Fred, you can spend 150$ dollars." I shook the dollar bills in my hands to show him what were the dollars. " Fred, I know you don't know what these all mean so, the 10 dollar bill is this one, it has the number 10 on it, k?" I said pulling a purple dollar bill out the bundle of cash.

" K."

I went on till he knew them all. As soon as I passed him the money he sprinted into the closest store. I walked over to a store that sells clothes for female teens hoping that Fred wouldn't cause any problems. Obviously, he did cause a problem.

" That young man over there caused havoc in my store!" I distinctly heard a store manager say to the security officer on the other side of the mall. He wasn't happy at all and neither was I. He ran over to me picked me up from the waist and flipped me in the air so that I was now held over his quite muscled shoulder, he kept running all the way out of the store. I was too shocked to move or talk. If I hadn't, I would have been thrashing against his buff body and started reprimanding him in a shill voice. But seeing how I was shocked I didn't and instead stayed silent.

When we reached my house/ my parents' house, Fred hadn't put me down. I wasn't happy at all.

" I'm quite pleasantly surprised that you didn't reprimand me or hit me. Much appreciated."

" May you now put me DOWN?"

" Sure, just promise to not hit me no matter what I tell you or do."

" I will somewhat promise to try not to."

" Well, that's probably the best I will get out of you, soo…" He said finally putting me back down.

" Thank you for putting me down. Now tell me why that salesperson said ' That young man over there caused havoc in my store!'. I really want to know why."

" Well, ok, I kind-a, ya know…"

" Fred, stop stuttering it'll just make it worse and I don't know why exactly."

" Fineee, I knocked everything down on the shelves because someone dared me to."

" You are a child you know that, right?"

" Yes, and I always will be."

" You can say that again."

" Yes, and I always will be."

You don't need to repeat what you said just because I said ' You can say that again', okay?"

" Okay, now I know thank you."

" Fred, you don't need to thank me."

" Oh, yeah."

" Who dared you?"

" Some teenagers," Fred said not really caring, caring more to look at Hermione.

" Why did you listen to these teenagers?"

" You know that I can't stop myself when it comes to dares."

" Well, that's true. But we're going to go back and ask if we can help with anything to make up for what you did."

" But... but… bu…"

" Fred, you will do it, let's go. Don't do this again please."

" Fine, you have to tell your parents that we're going back to the mall."

Fred had to shelve the new stocks on the shelves. It's a good thing that the store happened to be a pillow + blanket store ( Home Outfitters ). So nothing broke. So, when Fred finished the job we went shopping. I went back to the clothing store since I hadn't got anything thanks to Fred. And Fred went to goodness knows where. I see this bright red spaghetti strap top and place the shirt in my ' try on' pile. On the other side of the store, I found these perfect baby blue jeans to match. I found other outfits to try on and walked into the change room. All the outfits I chose fit perfectly and looked great on me so I bought them. I ended up getting the outfit I saw earlier plus black leggings that show off my curves well, a purple t-shirt with a V neckline, some easy slip-on shoes ( 1 black and 1 white ), and a maroon t-shirt with a V-neckline which reminded me of Ronald's Christmas sweater. Too bad that relationship didn't work out.

When I step out of the store I see a red flash coming toward me from the other side of the mall for the second time today.

"Fred, why're you running in the mall again?!"

" Faster I get to you the better, more time I get to spend with you," Fred said to me once he had gotten to me and gained his breath.

" Thanks? Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?"

" If you want to." He replied. "Now I'm bored of the mall can we please go back home." He pleaded to hold my hand on the way back. I rose my eyebrows at him but took his hand in mine none of the less.

" Where did you shop?"

"Where did you shop Hermione," Fred said changing the subject.

" Just a clothing store," I said not really wanting to know where exactly Fred went.

" What did you get yourself?"

" You'll see me wear them throughout the week, you can see them then." On the way home Fred suddenly stopped in his tracks still holding my hand I hadn't known he was going to stop so I came crashing into his strong body.
