Chapter 2: Fred and Hermione?
Hermione broke into a jog after passing Lupin in the hall and up the stairs leading to her and Ginny's bedroom. She opened the door to the bedroom and saw Ginny lying over the side of her bed asleep while Fred and George stood over her collecting saliva that was drooling from her mouth. "It's for one of out new inventions," whispered George that handed Fred a tube of drool. Hermione rose her eyebrows and closed the door. Fred looked at George anxiously and handed him back the tube. George sighed and nodded. There was a loud CRACK and Fred disappeared.
Hermione passed Professor Lupin in the hall again on her way to Harry and Ron's room. He was drinking from a bottle of butterbeer. He opened the door to his room and went inside. Hermione peeked through the door to Harry and Ron's room and found them sprawled across Harry's bed staring at an open magazine clearly the centerfold of Playwitch. "Wicked!" exclaimed Ron staring hungrily at the picture. "Shhh! Do you hear something?" Harry looked up at the door to see Hermione's wide eyes staring at the magazine. Harry threw the magazine under his bed and looked back up at Hermione. "Hey! Why the hell did you do that?" asked Ron angrily. Harry pointed to Hermione who had now entered the room and Ron looked up. His ears turned redder than Harry had ever seen them. Hermione giggled and shut the door behind her. Harry laughed and looked at Ron who covered his face in his hands clearly horrified. "This is almost worse than the time Mum found condoms in my dresser," groaned Ron. There was a loud CRACK and Fred appeared in the room. "Hey Hermione, do you think I could have a minute?" Fred asked her with a look of innocence. She looked at him for a moment and he winked. Hermione's face lightened up and she nodded. Harry and Ron looked at each other confused. Hermione and Fred exited the room together and shut the door. Ron looked at Harry "Shall we?" "Naturally," said Harry jumping off the bed.
Fred wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and kissed her. Hermione ran her fingers through Fred's red hair. He tried to run his fingers through her hair as well but the got stuck in her bushy hair. Hermione stopped kissing Fred and tried to help him get his hands out of her hair. "Ouch!" she exclaimed and Fred laughed. Hermione glared and him, than giggled and pinched Fred in the rib. He jumped back, pulling her head with him, and laughed. Hermione screeched. Harry and Ron's bedroom door opened. "Hey what are you doing to my girlfriend?" Ron looked upset. He turned to Harry who looked just as surprised as Ron did. "Nothing ickle Ronnie. I was helping ol' Hermione here get something out of her hair," said Fred indignantly. "You were snogging weren't you?" Ron was getting angry now. "Ron we really weren't! Fred and I were just talking about. what. uh. what to get you for your birthday and. Kreacher ran by and. with. he tripped! Oh I don't even know what he was holding but something flew into my hair. Fred was trying to get it out!" Hermione hurriedly said. Harry raised his eyebrow at her and but Ron looked convinced. "My hands got stuck in her hair!" Fred finished the story quickly. There was a loud CRACK and George appeared by Fred's side. "What the hell is going on here?" George put his hands on his hips and stared in mock annoyance. Ginny came running down the stairs into the hallway and stopped dead laughing at the sight of Fred and Hermione. Fred gave everyone an annoyed look and tried to pull his hands free again. "Have you tried peanut butter?" Ginny muffled a laugh but couldn't help herself and dropped to the floor laughing and holding her stomach. Fred yanked harder and Hermione yelped.
"What in Dumbledore's name is going on here?" Mrs. Weasley had appeared at the bottom of the stairs with her hands on her hips. She glared at the six kids. Lupin and Tonks opened the door to the bedroom they were in. Lupin rubbed his eyes and stared at the mess of kids. Ginny stood up and wiped away her tears of laughter. Fred gave another pull at Hermione's hair. His arms were getting tired. "Out out out! Back to bed right now!" Mrs. Weasley yelled at everyone. "Fred, Hermione dear come with me to the kitchen." The three of them walked away down the hallway.
