A/N: So if you've stuck with this story just to read some George/Hermione romance then finally this is the chapter, but everyone else gets to play a part even Harry, Ron and Ginny who haven't been in this story much
'Honestly, you expect us all to be here on time even though you're not' George said sternly, stood hands on hips in his best McGonagol impression, as Angelina and Fred burst through the door panting obviously very out of breath
'You two seem very out of breath' Alicia commented as she smiled a half smile while thinking about Lee who had promised to meet her after practice
'Alicia has a point. What have you two being up to?' George said as he winked in Fred's direction
'Shut up George' Fred scowled at his twin, who was now grinning insanely and whistling very badly a tune which sounded suspiciously like 'Love is in the air'
'But I'm just so deeply moved by all these in love couples. I can't help being happy' George said still smiling
'What are you going on about?' Ginny asked in amazement
'Well Fred and Angelina are together, so are Lee and Alicia. And that's almost half are team' George explained as though it was the most obvious thing in the world
'Don't forget Ron and Hermione or should that be Harry and Hermione' Fred added earning himself glares off Ron, Harry, Ginny and surprisingly George
'Come on stop wasting time, we need to practice' Angelina said quickly before a Weasley argument could get started
The practice passed without incident, except for when Fred somehow turned a bludger into a pink fluffy racing car, which he sent towards George. Who then proceeded to race it round the pitch for ten minutes
George was looking round expectantly for Hermione but he didn't see her waiting with Lee by the broom shed like she usually was
'Hey Harry, is Hermione ok?' George yelled to Harry who was walking towards the castle with Ron and Ginny
'Yeah, of course she is. Why?' Harry asked with a quick sideways glance at Ron
'She normally meets you from practice, but she's not here. You guys haven't fallen out, have you?' George asked suspiciously remembering the look Harry had just given Ron
'Not really, she just had a minor disagreement with Ron' Ginny said not very convincingly, because Ron could be heard muttering about foreign idiots who couldn't even spell properly.
After Harry, Ron and Ginny had left, George looked round and noticed Lee and Alicia who where headed towards the lake. Fred and Angelina were still around near the broom shed so George began to approach them
'You flew really well tonight and I could tell you really inspired the rest of the team' Fred was saying to Angelina with a very large smile on his face
'Wow a compliment. You must want something' Angelina giggled raising an eyebrow
'I do. You want to guess what it is?' Fred whispered in Angelina's ear
'Is it flying lessons so you can be almost as good as me?' Angelina guessed
'Nope, I already am'
'How about a ballerina's dress?' Angelina asked smirking
'Nope, nowhere close'
'I'll never guess, why don't you just show me?' Angelina smiled coyly
'With pleasure Miss Johnson' Fred grinned as though he had won the lottery, as he dragged a giggling Angelina into the broom shed
George got the impression that they wouldn't be out for a while, so he went to the library to do some research. After a couple of hours he got bored and headed back to the common room
'So what was Ron angry about this morning?' George asked settling himself down next to Hermione on a couch in front of the fire
'I have no idea what you're talking about' Hermione replied loftily without looking up from a very large book, which bore more than a passing resemblance to Hogwart's A History
'I think you do. It wouldn't have anything to do with a letter from a Bulgarian seeker with the initials VK would it?' George persisted with his line of questioning
'Even if Victor was writing to me, which I'm not saying he is. Why would that concern Ron? Or you for that matter?' Hermione said still immersed in her book
'Well Ron fancies you' George stated matter of factly, as Hermione suddenly glanced up from her book to look at him
'You actually think Ron fancies me?' Hermione questioned
'Um, yeah, doesn't he?' George said sounding suddenly unsure. Hermione closed her book with a bang to gaze at George
'Of course not' Hermione said shortly
'But all those arguments over Victor, they must mean something'
'Yes they mean we disagree, but they were just arguments, they don't mean we're going to fall madly in love with each other. Ron just wants me to be here as back up, if he can't get Lavender or Parvati'
'Oh well, I feel stupid now' George said looking slightly guilty
'Don't, you've no need' Hermione said with a half- smile as though she didn't know whether to be annoyed or confused
'So Ron doesn't fancy you. Well Harry must' George said determined to make Hermione confess to liking somebody
'No, Harry's like a brother to me, nothing more. You know that' Hermione definitely sounding annoyed now
'Okay, fair enough. I guess I totally misread the signs' George said finally admitting defeat
'Yeah you did. But while we're on the subject Parvati definitely fancies you, so why don't you do something about it?' Hermione asked grinning
'But she calls me Georgie and I don't really see us working. I'll be pulling a prank while Parvati does her hair in the mirror and forgets to warn me that Snape's coming. I need someone better, someone like you' George said while he and Hermione laughed at the thought
As they realised what George had said they stopped laughing and feel silent, neither of them sure what to say. Hermione was staring at the closed book in her lap and George was gazing intently at his shoes.
Eventually George decided that if there had been any possibility that there was going to be one of those awkward romantic moments, it had definitely passed by now. So he looked up and found himself staring straight into Hermione's brown eyes. Neither Hermione nor George moved, they couldn't blink, George wasn't even sure if they were still breathing.
Suddenly George felt Hermione's lips on his, he couldn't remember if it had been him or Hermione who had leant forward first, but the important thing was neither of them had pulled back.
When they finally broke the kiss, the entire common room was staring at them in silence. In one corner were Fred, Angelina, Lee and Alicia and in another Harry, Ron and Ginny, George didn't know which group looked more shocked, but he finally recovered and pulled Hermione through the portrait just as Lee wolf-whistled and the common room burst into excited chatter.
'Wow, the Weasley magnetism strikes again' Fred who was sat in an armchair with Angelina on the floor in front of him said in awe
'Oh, is that what it's called?' Angelina said leaning back to smile at him
'Absolutely, it got you didn't it' Fred said wrapping his arms round Angelina's shoulders
'It definitely did' Angelina agreed as she settled back contentedly in his arms
(A/N I was going to leave it here, but I decided this is George/Hermione chapter so I couldn't just leave it)
George and Hermione had reached the astronomy tower in silence, neither was overly sure where they were going so they just took some random turns. George groaned silently when he realised where they were, if anyone else saw them here they would get the wrong impression but he needed somewhere quiet to talk to talk to Hermione about what had just happened.
'If you're going to confess to being madly in love with Victor, Harry, Ron or anyone else, now would be the time to do it' George said finally breaking the silence
'Well I love Fred but Angelina might have something to say about that' Hermione said. It took George a few horrifying minutes to work out that she only joking
'Don't do that, I make the jokes not you' George said with some relief
'Sorry, we should probably talk about what just happened' Hermione said growing serious
'Yeah, I guess so, but I'm not sure what to say' George said
'Neither am I. It wasn't something my books covered'
'Shame, it would make it a lot easier. I think I better tell you how I feel and then you can tell me where I stand' George said deciding that confronting the issue was the only way
'Ok' Hermione agreed quickly
'Right, I think you're really good looking, smart, nice, and a hell of lot of other things. You even made my list of fanciable girls, so basically I think that even though I have no idea where we are going, I would like to find out' George said
'So would I' Hermione said catching George by surprise
'Hang on, if I like you and you like me, then what happens now?' George was happy but confused
'I suppose we should kiss again' Hermione said with a grin
'You're right, it is traditional up here after all, and who are we to defy tradition' George said with a dramatic sigh and a very large grin as he pulled Hermione close to him and kissed her
'So we're going out' Hermione said when they finally stopped kissing
'Yes, definitely. You get to go out with me the completely wonderful in every way George Weasley' George said smirking as Hermione rolled her eyes
'You forgot modest' Hermione pointed out sarcastically
'You're right, the completely wonderful in every way and modest, that sounds a lot better' George said as Hermione giggled
'Come on, I think we should go back to the common room and meet our extremely nosy friends' Hermione said as they left the tower
'I didn't know you were friends with Parvati and Lavender' George joked
'Oh no, I forgot about Parvati, she's going to kill me' Hermione said suddenly looking worried
'Don't worry, I'll protect you, so long as I'm not killed by any mysterious Bulgarian assassins' George said putting his arm round Hermione and checking over his shoulder in case Victor was wearing all black and stalking them ready to leap out and attack George at any opportunity
'Shut up about Victor, you know we're just friends' Hermione said punching him lightly in the stomach
'Sorry, I just don't like sharing you with anyone' George said grinning as he pretended to be winded by Hermione's punch
'Well I think we're both about to be shared with the whole common room' Hermione said as they stepped through the common room to be smothered by a large group of giggling teenagers
'The things I do for you' George said shaking his head as he attempted to escape from the grip of some sixth years
'Yeah, but I'm worth it' Hermione smiled at him as she dodged a second year and headed towards Harry and Ron who were sat in a corner with Angelina, Alicia, Ginny, Lee and Fred all huddled round a model Quidditch pitch. Ron looked up just as Hermione reached the table
'Oh you've returned, would you care to explain what is between you and my brother' Ron asked looking very put out
'Nothing, I haven't seen Percy for weeks' Hermione said in amazement as most of the group laughed
'What's this I hear, you're running off with Percy, and we only got together a few minutes ago' George said grinning as he reached Hermione and placed his arm casually round her shoulder
'I guess I go for the more mature men' Hermione said twisting round to grin at George
'Oh she's got a point, hey Fred do you know if Bill has a girlfriend yet?' Angelina asked smirking
'Yeah, what about Charlie?' Alicia added
'Hey' Fred and Lee both protested
'Err guys, if you've finished interrupting, Hermione hasn't answered my question' Ron said
'I don't think she needs to' Harry said looking slightly shocked at Hermione who was now in the middle of kissing George
'Youngsters nowadays' Fred said tutting while he shook his head in pretend shock
'You didn't seem very against kissing earlier in the broom shed' Angelina said smiling seductively at Fred
'Ah the happy memories, I think we should make some more' Fred said as he pulled Angelina to her feet and they headed off towards Angelina's dorm
'Great, now I wont be able to go to bed for ages' Alicia complained
'It is great, now you can spend more time with me' Lee said
'Oh yeah good point' Alicia said settling back down next to him
'I think I'm going to head of to bed now' Ron said standing up
'Yeah me too' Harry agreed
'And me' Ginny added
'See you later' Ron said to Hermione
'I get the feeling she's a bit too busy to answer at the moment' Harry pointed out as Ron looked over his shoulder to see Hermione and George kissing again totally engrossed with each other and nothing else
A/N: So that's it, they're all together. I will probably do an epilogue thing to wrap it all up, so review me if there is anything you didn't understand and want explaining. It may not have worked out exactly like I had planned, but I needed to include a lot Fred/Angelina because they were the only couple I could realistically make funny, so I'm sorry if you thought there was too much F/A and not enough of anything else. Please review, I really do appreciate it and even if you don't like it or something like that, please review

'Come on stop wasting time, we need to practice' Angelina said quickly before a Weasley argument could get started
The practice passed without incident, except for when Fred somehow turned a bludger into a pink fluffy racing car, which he sent towards George. Who then proceeded to race it round the pitch for ten minutes
