(Hogwarts Tomorrow)
"I can't believe she blew up in my face like that," George complained.
"Maybe she just doesn't want you knowing. It's not a crime to keep a secret George," Fred reasoned.
"But you know!" whined George.
"That's besides the point. Are you gonna ask the girl out or not? There's only one day left of the summer. If you wait any longer, your chance might be up."
Running a hand through his ginger hair, George sighed. "What the hell am I going to do?!"
"Your gonna ask her out! That's what your going to do!" Fred shouted.
* * * * *
"Ginny! Time is running out! George won't ask me out!" Hermione moaned.
Ginny flopped onto her bed and started humming.
"What's that your humming Gin?"
"Some muggle song. It seems to fit your situation."
"Oh."
"In the name of Godric Gryffindor, I got it!" Ginny yelled.
"What?" Hermione inquired startled.
"How about you ask him out!"
Hermione's face fell. "That'll never work."
"Sure it will!" Ginny persisted.
"Could we drop it?"
"KIDS! DINNER!" Mrs. Weasley announced from downstairs.
* * * * * *
(Hermione's PoV)
Ron and Harry were the first down there. I took a seat next to Harry and Ginny took a seat next to me. I gave her a look and she got up and sat across from me. Harry and Ron exchanged glances.
Fred and George finally bounded downstairs and George sat next to me. He slung an arm over my shoulder and smiled down at me. "Hey Hermy!" I laughed at his silliness.
"Georgy!" I squealed back. We both laughed.
"*Cough* Flirting *Cough*" Fred pretended to cough.
I shot Fred a glare. He is so childish sometimes. "Ignore him Mione," George said moving my head to face his. He smiled at me and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Well, you two have become inseparable this summer!" Mrs. Weasley commented.
George's ears turned red and I blushed. "Meet me outside at 9:00 tonight, by the large oak tree," George whispered into my ear. I nodded and he grinned.
* * * * *
(Regular PoV)
"What was that about down there?" Ginny inquired.
Hermione smiled and blushed and said, "He asked me to meet him outside...ALONE!"
"Ohh, good luck!"
* * * * * (Outside, George's PoV)
I am so nervous. What if she says no? Then where will I be? Just relax Weasley. Everything will go all right...I hope!
A small distant figure slowly is approaching. It's Hermione! Be cool...be cool!
"Hello George," she said grinning and taking a seat extremely close to me. Any closer and she'd be in my lap...Not that I'm complaining or anything! "You wanted to talk to me."
"Oh yes!" She smiled her terrific smile. "I wanted to know if- um- maybe- uh," I started.
She looked at me nervously. "Yes."
"Yes?"
"I mean was the question, *the question* I think it was?"
"Uh. Yes!" Wow this is confusing. She grinned and kissed my cheek. We started snogging underneath the tree.
"George, Hermione? Are you two out there?" Mum called. We broke apart and smiled at each other.
"Yes mum! Just a second." I got up, brushed myself off, and gave a hand to Hermione, which she took gracefully.
We walked into the house, hand in hand.
* * * * *
(Hermione's PoV)
I still feel dizzy. I can't believe I'm George's girlfriend. Just 10 minutes ago, I was regular me. I must be the luckiest witch in the world. George is so, so perfect. At Hogwarts, all my friends (minus Harry and Ron) had massive crushes on him; whether it be, his strong dominant features, beautiful bright green eyes, wonderful Quidditch body (Oh, and it is wonderful), intelligence, or his quick wit, I don't know. I say all of the above.
I followed George into his room. "Nice room George!" His room was light gray, with Quidditch posters and invention papers were all over the walls.
"Sit down!" I obeyed and already felt awkward the second I sat down. "Relax." He gave me a back rub and I started to become less tense.
"Thanks! I definitely needed that." He smiled and we began kissing once more. His lips are so soft and perfect. Kissing him is like heaven. He is such a natural! Sorry for my terrible cliched reaction, but nothing else could really describe it.
A faint 'knock knock' was heard, but we totally disregarded it.
The door clicked open and a gasp was heard. Me and George broke apart very quickly and stared into the shocked face of Mr. Weasley.
"Hermione? George?" I blushed scarlet and George wiped his mouth.
"Dad."
"What's going on?"
"Uh. Me and George are, well, a couple," I replied hesitantly.
Mr. Weasley's face softened a bit and he actually smiled. "Couldn't have picked a better one for you George."
I smiled and George gloated. "That means a lot dad!"
"Well, I'll leave you two alone now." He left the room smiling.
"Do you want to continue?" George asked me. He grinned.
"I'm not in the mood. I'm sorry George." I didn't want to risk another walk in. I got up, gave George a kiss on the lips and bolted out the door.
Halfway to Ginny's room, I bumped into Fred. "Mione."
"Hey Fred!" I said. I sounded a bit enthusiastic.
"Excited?"
"Oh, just a little bit. George asked me out! I couldn't be happier!"
Fred gave me the signature Weasley grin, patted me on the back and continued upstairs.
I ran to Ginny's room, and plopped down onto my bed. I sighed happily and smiled.
"How did it go?" Ginny said excitedly.
"He asked me out! George asked me out! I can't believe it!" I squealed.
"Oh Hermione! I'm so happy for you...even if you are getting excited over my brother," Ginny replied. I chuckled and laid down on the bed.
"How does Mrs. Hermione Granger-Weasley sound?"
Ginny laughed and said, "It sounds okay. I like the old fashioned way better. Hermione Weasley."
"Me too!"
'Knock knock'
"Come in!" Ginny yelled at the door.
Ron and Harry bounded in and sat down on Ginny's bed. "What can I do for you two gentlemen!" Ginny inquired.
Harry turned to me, shrugged and mouthed, 'Sorry.' While trying to comprehend why Harry was sorry, Ron started talking.
"Hermione! I can't believe you would like my older brother!"
"Harry, I can't believe you!" I shouted back.
"I said I was sorry."
"It's none of your business who I like Ronald Weasley. For your information though, you are going to have to start getting used to the fact of me liking George!"
"And why is that?"
"Because he's my boyfriend!"
Ron looked taken aback and frowned. "That's right! He's my boyfriend! And Harry!" I walked over to Harry and slapped his head. Ginny chuckled and Ron and Harry walked out of the room.
"UGH! Why does Ron have to do this? Why can't my best friends be happy for me?"
"One question at a time Mione. 1: Ron does this because your dating his brother and my brother for that matter and he wants to protect you. 2: Harry is happy for you. Ron isn't because...well...he likes you."
"Can my life get anymore complicated?"
"Actually...yes."
I fell back onto the bed and sighed. Why me?

(Hogwarts today- Regular PoV)
Hermione woke up early the next day to find Ginny hovering over her. "Good morning!" Ginny said cheerfully.
"Morning!" Hermione yawned back. "Hogwarts today! I can't wait!"
"Me neither!"
"Are you excited because of Hogwarts really...or because you'll see Jeremy?" Hermione taunted.
Ginny flushed scarlet. "Both." Hermione laughed and got out of bed.
"You know Gin. Once you hit Hogwarts, you'll have to face Michael and Dean."
Ginny gulped. "I didn't think of that."
"No need to worry!" Hermione exclaimed encouragingly.
* * * * * *
"We are leaving in 5 minutes. You all better have everything packed!" Mrs. Weasley announced above all the mayhem.
George and Hermione were outside already. They were sitting on her trunk. "I'm gonna miss you Mione," George said solemnly. Hermione leaned into him and sighed.
"I know. What am I going to do without you?"
"We'll both live. I'll write to you and you'll write to me," George said smiling slightly.
"Oh George!" Hermione swung her arms around George's neck and rested her head on his chest. He gently stroked her hair and breathed heavily.
They stayed in that position for what seemed like an eternity. "Hate to break you two up, but we have to go," Mrs. Weasley said apologetically. The couple broke apart. George wiped the tears from Hermione's face with his finger and kissed her.
He helped her up and carried her trunk to the car.
* * * * *
(On the platform)
Hermione and George stood in a long embrace on the platform of 9 3/4. Many students were looking at them, but they didn't care. "I'm going to miss you something awful Hermy," George whispered in Hermione's ear. She flashed him a watery smile and kissed him.
"I'll write you George...everyday." They kissed once more, which attracted more attention.
Hermione boarded the train and stuck her torso out the window.
"I'm going to miss you!" she said loudly. The train was starting to take off.
"I'll miss you too. Oh and Hermione, I love you!" George shouted back. Before Hermione could answer or even react, the train sped away.
