Hermione walked into the corridor just as Harry and Ginny came up for air. Even though they had only been going out for a few weeks, they had been at it like rabbits the whole time! Hermione turned away in disgust, but as she did, she wondered why she felt like this every time she saw anyone kissing. A thought suddenly struck her. I'm jealous!! No! She quickly pushed that thought aside. How can I be jealous, I don't like Harry that way! But the thought (that she was jealous, not that she liked Harry) kept niggling at the back of her mind, just waiting to pounce.
"OW!" Hermione exclaimed as Fred and George ran into her. "Sorry!" George yelled over his shoulder as he and Fred ran towards the Great Hall. Hermione wondered what they were doing back at Hogwarts. They had finished school 2 years ago, and since then had opened a chain of very successful joke shops called "Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes," or "WWW" for short.
But Hermione didn't have long to consider the possibilities before Ron came running up to her and Harry, who had finally managed to detach himself from Ginny. "Guess what!" Ron exclaimed, absolutely ecstatic. "Harry's defeated Voldemort, you're Quidditch team captain, and Percy's being transferred to Mars," replied Hermione. "No, but this is almost as good." By now Ron was jumping frantically from one foot to the other as they walked down the hall to the Gryffindor common room. "Fried pickles," Hermione absent-mindedly told the Fat Lady as the portrait hole swung open. "Oh, hurry up, I haven't got all day. I have to do that 10 foot essay for Snape." "But Hermione, that's not due for another 3 weeks!" exclaimed Harry, now sitting on Ron, who had gone blue in the face. "I know, and I haven't even started," wailed Hermione with a look of utter dismay on her face. "Now Ron, what do you want to tell me?" she asked briskly. "Fred and George are coming to Hogwarts to help with Quidditch training!" "Ron they're already here, I literally bumped into them about 5 minutes ago." "Oh." Ron was extremely disappointed by this, but soon brightened up when Hermione mentioned that she had been wondering why they were at Hogwarts.
George's PoV"Sorry!" George yelled over his shoulder as he and Fred continued to run towards the Great Hall. "Hurry up," said Fred impatiently. "Sorry," George replied distractedly, then realised he was gazing intently at Hermione. God she looks good, he thought. Wait, what am I thinking! I have a girlfriend! George had been dating Miranda since he had met her at Club Skunk 6 months ago…
