A/N:: I couldn't get onto Fan fiction all day yesterday, so I couldn't get
anything. Really good news!!! My mother left town for tonight, so I can
stay up as late as I want!!! I'm not going to spend all that time on Fan
Fiction, but a good chunk of it. I hope you all like this chapter. It gets
more interesting I promise.
Lilaznpinky525:: No, Cho's not a playa. Ron, Draco, and George, all in the course of what... 24 hours? No, that's doesn't make someone a playa. Lol, jk, I think she is too. Hmm... (
Toxiclove1:: that's the second time you've said the exact same thing as lilaznpinky525. Hmmm. but yes, I must agree. I was sort of evil to poor Ginny, but I'll fix it all up and in no time flat Snape will be neutered. Jk, maybe in another story. Lol.
Anon:: No, it's probably my slowness.
Panuru4u:: Yeah, I think I'd like to call it a love triple helix. I guess it's supposed to be confusing. But thank you all the same.
Story time!

"Ginny that's horrible!" Hermione squealed, making half the common room look up expectantly. Ginny nodded. This was all she could do, like she was in shock.
"But you're not going to go out with him right?" Ron asked angrily. Ginny was silent. "Right?"
Ginny made a small sound, wiping a tear from her eye.
"No Ginny! This is Malfoy we're talking about, not Ernie Macmillan!" Ron said, crouching down in front of her. "You don't like him! You have to go up to him at dinner and say it was a mistake to even think about it. That's all you have to do. N-no don't cry!"
But now Ginny had tears all down her front. "Maybe all Ginny needs is a friendly talk with a good friend," Harry said. Ron shot him daggers through his eyes. "Not me! Hermione!" Ron lifted his glance and Fred quickly started up the stairs to the boys' dormitory, closely followed by George, Harry, and a reluctant Ron.
Fred gave an evil laugh, reached into his pocket and drew out the extendable ears. He was about to listen in when George put his hand up.
"No. Fred... don't. I think Harry was right. They just need to talk. If you think Hermione won't tell you every single detail, you're in serious trouble. ..."
"...And if you don't tell us every single detail you'll be in more serious trouble." Ron said through gritted teeth.
"That's a definite maybe." George said. "See you care about Ginny more than we do, so the news of her going out with Malfoy might make you upset, maybe even angry."
"It's for your own happiness." Fred chimed in. Ron glanced sharply at Harry, as if to say 'What do you think about this?' Harry, of course, knew that he would be told if Ginny was going out with Draco. He knew that he was told everything.
"Er... I'm going to think about that for a while." Harry said nervously. Laughter was coming from downstairs. "It's probably safe now." He added nervously, starting down the stairs. Ginny and Hermione came into view. Harry saw that Hermione was smiling weakly- wait no that was Ginny. 'I hate to say Malfoy's right, but they do look alike.' He shook his head of the thought and smiled at the girls.
"Everything's sorted out?" George asked happily.
"Yeah is our sister pregnant with Malfoy's child?" Fred called from behind Harry. Everyone laughed except Ginny and Hermione, who just smiled.
"Wait a second, she is pregnant?" Ron squealed.
"NO!" Hermione said angrily.
"Maybe you should talk without me. Harry will tell me everything anyway." Ron said, backing away out of the common room. "Won't you Harry?"
Harry nodded a lie, then turned to Hermione and Ginny as Ron left the common room.
"So is she pregnant?" George said smiling.
"Nope." Hermione said.
"And Malfoy's not going to be our brother-in-law?" Fred added.
"He only asked her out, they didn't do anything." Hermione said.
"Speaking of which, what did you say?" Harry said, almost feeling like he was intruding on a family conversation. Hermione glanced at Ginny, who had returned to a state of shock.
"She said yes." Hermione whispered.
Ginny started sobbing uncontrollably. "W-what w-was I supposed to s-s-say and now Ron's going to k-kill me!!! I just said yes without t-thinking about it but I r-regret it now. I n-never should have d-done that - AND WHAT IS DAD GOING TO SAY?" She put her head in her hands and kept complaining.
"I'm sure your father won't care as long as it was makes you happy." Hermione whispered.
"But it doesn't make me happy. At least I'm not positive I'm happy." Ginny said, her hands muffling the sound.
"Tell Malfoy you need time to decide." Harry suggested.
"I don't think time will help anything." Ginny muttered.
"Well maybe a chat with Mr. Malfoy would help." Hermione said, getting up. "Come on. I'll bet you anything we'll find what he has to say about the matter."
"Maybe seeing Malfoy getting beat up might make her mind up." George said, helping Ginny off the sofa.
"And you'll get a taster of that if we run into him along the way." Fred joked as they left the common room. They immediately saw Ron, lurking around in the corridor.
"About time!" He said.
"We're on our way out. Urgent business with Malfoy." Fred said sarcastically.
"What do you need to talk to him about?" Ron asked, following them down the halls.
"Ginny." Harry, Fred and George said together.
"Ah." Ron said, looking at Ginny.
"Let's hurry. I don't want to run into Draco with Ginny there too." Said Hermione as she sped up. They got inside the room and rushed over to the shelf. There was a tiny piece of parchment with a rushed-looking scrawl::
'Granger-
I knew you'd find out about Ginny.
She reminds me of you.
And she said yes.
So now we're going out.
I hope I run into you sometime when Ginny's there too.
I love her.
-Draco.'
Everyone passed it around, each of them having their own reaction. Hermione said loudly, "God I hate him so much!" before passing it on. Ginny made a small noise in her throat and was very reluctant to give it to the next person. Ron screamed, "You said yes to him?" and probably would've gone on if Hermione hadn't said, "It's already been done." Fred and George exchanged smirks and Harry boiled with rage. They all decided to sit down and think about the whole dilemma.
"That's the only reason he asked you out." Ron said. "Because you look like Hermione."
"He says I remind him of her here." Ginny said, picking up the note from where they left it on a bench and scanning it quickly.
"It could mean with looks or personality." Harry suggested.
"Probably means you're a pureblood Hermione." George said.
Hermione, who was curled up against Fred made a noise of disgust. "That's so like him."
"Oh please, stop!" Ginny said. "I feel bad enough already."
Ron jumped up. "Food. Dinner. It's eight o'clock. We're late."
Everyone was glad for the ready-made excuse to get out of there. George led Harry, Ron and Ginny out of the door. They were halfway to the Great Hall when they noticed Hermione and Fred weren't with them.
"You know what?" George said happily. "I don't think they're in too much danger."
"Only of getting Hermione pregnant." Ron replied laughing.
*****
Meanwhile, in the room where Harry and the others left Fred and Hermione::
The door creaked open. Hermione and Fred immediately stopped kissing and listened. Hermione turned to the door. Draco Malfoy was standing in the doorway, a triumphant smirk on his face. Fred and Hermione scurried to get off of each other and stood up, feet away from Draco. Hermione gulped.
"That's disgusting." Malfoy said, his smirk widening. "Take it to the common room, please."
"Get out, Malfoy." Hermione said coldly.
"Why? So you can start snogging your boyfriend again? I don't think so. Mudbloods like you shouldn't be doing that with purebloods." Malfoy said in his usual drawl.
"Don't you dare call her that!" Fred said, but the other two ignored him.
"You didn't seem to mind until your dear father told you off, did you?" Hermione said. It happened in that instant. Malfoy wheeled around and hit her in the face. Fred walked up to Malfoy punched him in the stomach. Malfoy aimed a punch to Fred's stomach, but missed as Fred sunk his fist into Malfoy's face and then dragged Hermione out of the room. They stopped and Hermione leaned up against a wall.
"Your face...Is it ok?" Fred asked, touching where Malfoy hit her. Hermione's eyes filled up with tears as she buried her face in his shoulder. "Do you still want to go down to dinner?"
Hermione nodded. "I can't let him bring me down." She said firmly. Fred took her hand and they started to the Great Hall.
*****
Once they sat at the table, it took a while to calm Hermione down.
"I'll explain everything later." Fred whispered and served Hermione her food. George wasn't there, but no one noticed. Later in the meal, Harry and Ron were still questioning Fred, as he hadn't told them anything yet. Suddenly, Draco Malfoy opened both the doors to the Great Hall with a black and swollen eye.
"That has something to do with you, doesn't it, Fred?" Ron said gleefully. Fred nodded.
They left dinner late, because they came late. It was 9 before they got to the common room. Ron, Harry, and Ginny sat on one couch. Hermione made another couch fly across from the one the others were sitting on. She and Fred curled up next to each other, Fred caressing her now-bruised face. When the common room was slightly empty, Fred explained everything (Exaggerating a little on the parts where he punched Malfoy).
Ginny whimpered. "Now there's no way I'm letting him do that to you. He said he loves me. Let me go see how much he would give away for me." She left the common room without another word. Harry and Ron carried on the conversation. Fred and Hermione cuddled.
"Hey where's George?" Someone called. Harry, Ron, Fred and Hermione all turned around. It was Katie Bell, holding two wands. She approached them. "He left his own personalized fake wand lying around and by accident I picked it up."
"Where is he?" Ron said curiously.
"Uh-oh." Fred said getting up. "I know exactly where he is. Hermione. Come with me. Harry, Ron, stay here, go to bed, we'll be back soon."
"Don't get into any more fights." Ron called after them as they left the common room.
