Some Things Happen For a Reason

Author's Note: Thanks for the tremendous help I've been getting on my stories. I'd like to thank RemusGuurl a lot. We help each other so much. Oh, me and RemusGuurl decided to co-write a story, so the pen name is Moony2_and_Padfoot2.

Hermione woke up in a much better mood than usual. Her and George were friends again.
"Hermione, your finally awake!" Ginny squealed. "Have you forgotten we are going to Diagon Alley today for our supplies?"
"No, I didn't forget. I'm just not as excited as you are," Hermione replied pulling a black T-shirt out of her trunk. She also pulled out a pair of denim capris. "Umm Gin. Do you have black sandals?"
"You bet I do!" Ginny rummaged through her closet and tossed black strappy sandals at Hermione.
"Thanks!"
"No problem," Ginny said applying mascara on her already, outlined eyes.
"Trying to impress Jeremy?"
"Well, yes."
Hermione laughed and finished getting dressed.
* * * * * * * *
Hermione and Ginny sat at the table giggling about boys. George bounded downstairs dressed in a dark green shirt and black shorts.
Hermione looked up and stopped giggling. "Hello George."
"Mione. Always a pleasure," he said smiling. He took a seat next to her and draped an arm over her shoulder. Hermione turned red and she buried her face in her cornflakes.
"Are you two going out?" Ginny whispered into Hermione's ear.
"No. Of course not!" Hermione said bitterly.
"Where's Harry and Ron?" Fred asked taking a seat next to Ginny.
"Ron caught a cold last night, and Harry is getting ready," Mrs. Weasley said.
"Ello" Harry mumbled sleepily. His hair was disheveled and his robes were on backwards.
"Tired?" George asked smiling.
"Jus' a lil bit," Harry yawned.
Hermione chuckled and Ginny giggled. Fred and George shared grins. "Why are you all so cheerful this morning?" Harry asked confused. He rubbed his head and messed up his hair even worse.
"No reason!" Hermione replied.
"Kids! Less talking, more eating!" Mrs. Weasley said impatiently.
They ate faster and were ready to go.
"You two are coming with us?" Ginny inquired to Fred and George.
"Yep!" Fred replied.
* * * * * * *
"Where to first?" Hermione asked looking at all the stores.
"We have to meet Jeremy in Flourish and Blotts!" Ginny squeaked.
George, who had his arm around Hermione, tightened his grip at the mention of Jeremy.
"You okay George?" Hermione said looking up into George's bright green eyes.
"Yeah. I'm fine!"
"Oh Harry! Come here! We have to pull off the act," Hermione said suddenly. She shrugged off George's arm and took Harry's arm and placed it around her shoulders.
"What the-" George started.
"Jeremy thinks me and Hermione are an item. Where ever did he get that idea?" Harry asked grinning.
Hermione blushed and continued walking. George opened the door to Flourish and Blotts, and the whole clan entered.
Hermione noticed Jeremy and his mother. "Mrs. Spencer! How are you?" Hermione said and dragged Harry with her.
"I'm wonderful. It's so good to see you Hermione"
"Oh you too!" Mrs. Spencer eyed Harry and the large group of red heads. "Oh, this is Harry, my boyfriend (George clenched his fists), Ginny, Fred, George, and Mrs. Weasley. My best friend Ron is at home with a head cold."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Mrs. Spencer replied.
"The pleasure is all mine," Mrs. Weasley said, extending her hand.
"Well, mum. We are going to do our shopping. We'll see you around 3," Jeremy said smiling.
"Sure sweetie!"
Everyone, except, Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Spencer walked out of the store.
"Now, where are we headed off to," Ginny said sweetly.
"Anywhere you want to go," Jeremy replied charmingly. Ginny turned around to Hermione and put a hand to her forehead, pretending to swoon.
They walked down the street and into the potion supply shop. After a few hours of shopping, they all got their supplies.
"I want to check out that new joke shop. I hear its really stocked well," Jeremy said pointing to WWW.
"Why thank-you!" Fred and George said together. Although, Fred's thanks was much more genuine.
"You both own it! That's absolutely brilliant!"
* * * * * *
After about an hour of shopping for pranks, the group emerged fully loaded with packages. George was holding Hermione's bags. "Aww, your so sweet George!" Hermione said before kissing his cheek. Hermione skipped off and entered the Leaky Cauldron.
They all sat down at a table and ordered some food to eat.
"Hermione, I really like you! Please give me a chance," Jeremy pleaded quietly. "and I know that Potter isn't your real boyfriend."
"So he's not, but I like someone else."
Jeremy looked down and said, "Who?"
Hermione blushed. "I- I can't tell you that."
Jeremy frowned and said, "So there is no chance for me and you?"
"I'm afraid not," Hermione said softly.
"You know, I'll always like you."
Hermione blushed again and replied, "You shouldn't like me. I'm nobody special. I think you would have a much better time with Ginny." This pained Hermione to say.
"Sure," Jeremy said. He kissed Hermione on the cheek and went over to Ginny. Hermione put her head in her hands.
"Now will you tell me about this situation with Jeremy?" George asked taking Jeremy's seat.
Hermione sighed. "Okay. You see, me and Jeremy went to muggle primary school together. He's fancied me since we were 8. Every summer he would ask me out, and every summer, I would say no. When I found out he was a wizard, I immediately felt horrible because I fell for someone else. And I fell hard."
George interrupted and said, "Who did you fall for?" He wished it were him.
Hermione looked at George and looked away. "That...I can't tell you."
"I thought we were friends. You know you can tell me anything."
"But this I can't!" Hermione got up and walked away. George's eyes followed her retreating back.
"I'll never understand women," George muttered to himself.
"Women are impossible," Fred said
"You can't live with them and you can't live without em'" Harry added.
"Aye, Aye!" they all chanted together.
