Disclaimer: I don't own anything if you recognize it. BTW this title has nothing to do with the chapter I just wanted to call something that. I know odd right.

"I need to tell you something too. But you go first its not that important."

Hermione replied after a long quiet pause. They sat there quiet. George couldn't pull himself to say it. Hermione knew she couldn't say what she wanted. She was too afraid. She wanted to hear what he had to say. Finally the silence was broken when George got the nerve to tell her.

"Hermione. what I'm going to say might change everything. Just promise me no matter what I say we'll be friends forever. No matter what." George was playing with his mash potatoes. He couldn't look at her.

"I promise I will be you friend no matter what. Forever!" she too was playing with her mash potatoes.

"Hermione when you got the letter from Hogwarts about working there I realized something. I realized that I. I realized that. that. that I love you. I have fallen for my little brothers best friend. For one of my best friends I just couldn't let you go away with out me telling you." George stopped. Hermione was crying. She was smiling too. He didn't understand right away but once she spoke he understood. It was a while before she said anything. She couldn't believe it. He loved her too. She had to tell him but she couldn't speak. Finally she spoke.

"I love you too. That's what I wanted to tell you. I told Ginny the day I got the letter I promised her I'd tell you. That's why they did this. She told everyone. She knew." George stopped her.

"You told Ginny too." their eyes finally met.

She smiled so hard. He stood up and walked over to her. He stood her up and hugged her. Then he kissed her. When their lips met Hermione felt sparks flow through her veins. It was perfect this was what she wanted. She wanted to be in George's arms. She wanted to stay there forever. They broke apart. She put her head on his chest. He sat down next to her. They stared into each other's eyes.

Hermione started crying again. She was so happy. George reached up and brushed away her tears with his thumb. He put a piece of hair behind her ear. She smiled. They talked for a little bit. They talked about Hermione's job and about the shop. She promised to help them even when she was gone. She was going to come home to the Burrow for Christmas as long as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley didn't mind. They talked about the shop again and the merge and then they talked about nothingness.

"Well I guess we should tell everyone the good news that is to say if they don't already know. Ginny could have wired us knowing her." George teased. "Let me see did she wire your lips." He kissed her in a deep kiss. He pulled her closer to deepen the kiss. When they pulled away he took her hand and they went to the door. He opened the door for her.

Meanwhile back inside. "SO what do you think is going on. Do you think they said anything.?" Ginny was pacing the hall.

She didn't want to go look she promised Harry she wouldn't. Harry sat there smiling. She was very nervous. She was cute when she was nervous. She scrunched her nose in this cute way. He loved it when she did that. The others were sitting around with them. Ron and Lavender were sitting together by the fire. Fred was almost as tense as Ginny. It was his twin he hoped it would all turn out for the best. April tired to calm him. He was so worried. He didn't want George to get hurt. Ginny finally sat. They all started talking about their days back at Hogwarts. They talked forever.

Back outside. George opened the door and Hermione walked in. He followed after her taking her hand. He gave it s loving squeeze. She looked up and smiled. They walked to the living room hand in hand. They decided to not hold hands when they go inside. They entered the room where their friends sat.

"So you decided to grace us with your presence. We are honored." Fred laughed. He bowed.

"We caught onto your little trick. We talked it over for a while. By the way Gin the food was good but its still there. I didn't eat and neither did Mione. We both played with the mash potatoes." George said looking over at Hermione. He nodded at her and she nodded back.

"We talked and George told me that he fallen for me and I told him that I felt the same. So we decided to see each other." With this Ginny screamed she was so happy for her best friend.

April and Lavender joined in on this. They hugged her. Then they all calmed down. Ron muttered something about "girls". George wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist. Whispering to her he said something no one else heard.

"We should tell mum and dad about this when they get home." He kissed her cheek. After that they sat down by the fire.

"Okay but for now lets just sit here. I like being in your arms." He hugged her close to him.

They sat staring at the fire everyone around them. They all sat together close. Hermione placed her head on his chest and listened to the sound of his heart. Around seven o'clock they all went to the kitchen and put the food that Mrs. Weasley had left for them. They sat at the table and ate. They talked for hours and then went into the living room again where they all sat by the fire.

There they talked more about nothing and everything. It was ten o'clock when Mr. and Mrs. Weasley arrived home again. They found the group sitting by the fire. They noticed George and Hermione snuggled together all close. Mrs. Weasley knew the Ginny's plan had worked. They walked in and told the group they were back.

"Mum can Mione and I talk to you and dad in the kitchen please? George ask both of them getting up off the couch.

They walked into the kitchen. George had his arm around Hermione. They sat down at the table. Mrs. Weasley had said something to Mr. Weasley as they walked in. He was smiling very happy.

"Mum Hermione and I have decided to have a relationship. As you probably already know about Ginny's little plan you probably know everything."

"Well I was wondering when you two would finally do something. Ginny didn't have to tell me. I know my children including Hermione and Harry very I can tell when you're in love. I see it in your eyes. I see it when you looked at each other." Mrs. Weasley confessed. "I promised myself I wouldn't get involved so when Ginny told me her plan I was very happy."

" Well the big question I'd like to pose upon you two is where is Hermione going to live. I know she's teaching but what about the summers and the holidays. She needs somewhere to go. Do you want to stay living here or do you want to live elsewhere together. I think you need to discuss that and get back to you mum and I." Mr. Weasley was getting up to leave and he took Mrs. Weasley with him. They left the two to think.

"Well Hermione its really up to you. I'd love for you to move in with me. Fred and I have four rooms if you don't want to share a room." George finally said after about five minutes.

"I'd love to live with you but can we deal with this tomorrow. I'm tired it's been a crazy day."

She got up and went over to George. She kissed him good night. He held her for a moment. Then he got up and they went to the stairs. It must have been later then they thought. Everyone else must have gone upstairs. So they walked upstairs together. When they got the floor where Ginny's room was located he kissed her one more time.

"I love you George Weasley." Hermione said when they pulled apart.

"And I love you Hermione Granger." With that Hermione went into the room in which the girls were sharing. Ginny was just getting ready to go to sleep. She heard what they said. She screamed.

"OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!" screamed Ginny. This made April and Lavender turn. She was so happy for her best friend.

She found love. She was so glad it was with her brother too. They were perfect together. They talked for a little bit. Finally they went to sleep. She was happy. She dreamt that George asked her to marry him. She smiled at herself when she woke the next morning. She woke up early to pack her things. She was going to start taking her things over to George's today. She was so excited. Hermione walked over to the room she called hers for the past three years. She walked in to find George already in there.

"I went to the shop and got some empty boxes to put your things in." he was standing next to a pile of boxes.

They got to work on packing things. Hermione dealt with her clothes and George went on with her other things. When she finished with her clothes she went and helped George. She put up a picture of Harry, Ron and herself from their second year. She smiled and picked up one of Fred and George. Harry and Ron had pulled a prank on them and she took a picture. George noticed the picture and laughed.

"You guys may have gotten us then but we did get you back good don't you remember." She remembered well.

:: FLASHBACK::

"We're going to get you three. You wait and see." Called the twins. They had a look of no good in their eyes.

Hermione didn't think anything of it. She went to the library and studied. She forgot about their threat. She went on with her studying. Three days later she still wasn't thinking about it. Then she got what was coming to her. She was sitting in the common room with Ron and Harry and George came in. He was laughing hard. He was holding something.

"Told you we'd get you back." He was holding a copy of the daily prophet. On the cover were baby Harry, Ron, and Hermione and a weird caption.

::FLASHBACK ENDS::

Hermione laughed as she remembered this. They continued to pack. She wrapped each picture so as not to break them when she moved. She was going to have to move some stuff again in a couple of days so she didn't unwrap all of the pictures. She did want some for her new home at Hogwarts. They worked for hours setting this up and then setting things aside for Hermione to take with her to Hogwarts. She was leaving in two days. "Lets go to Hogsmeade I need to pick up your mum and dad's gift. We can also stop by the robes shop I need to get a couple of teaching robes." Hermione decided when they finally were finished.

They apparated to Hogsmeade and went to the robes shop. Hermione had a package waiting for her. She took it and paid then they went in search of the perfect gift. She finally stopped at a Wizarding Travel Agency. She decided she was going to send Mr. and Mrs. Weasley on a cruise. They needed a break and Ginny and Harry could manage the house. Even with Harry working Ginny's brothers always were stopping by. If she ran into a problem one of them could help her.

"I need two tickets for the cruise." Said Hermione.

"How cute you two going on your first cruise together so romantic." Said the lady.

"No its for my mum and dad. A little thank you gift. They need a break." George said.

"So you want to send them to where." She asked

"How about the Wizarding part of Hawaii." Suggested Hermione. "That sounds like a nice place. I've visited the muggle part with my family."

"Okay, so two tickets for Hawaii." Said the lady. Hermione paid her and they were off. They went to the Three Broomsticks for a drink then apparated home.

The days left before Hermione left for Hogwarts went by quickly. She spent much time with her friends and they hung around playing Quidditch and Wizards chess. They day Hermione left came sooner then anyone wanted it to. They sat at the breakfast table and got ready for Hermione to leave. They ate breakfast.

"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley I have a gift for you and before you object I will not take it back you have provided me with a house for three years and all those summers after my parents were killed. I owe you a lot but since I know you wouldn't except much I decided this was good." She took an envelope from her purse.

"Hermione dear that was so kind of you but you know we don't need you to repay us. We love you and we love Harry and you can stay here till your old and gray for all we care. Thank you so much. It's a wonderful gift. I've never been on a cruise." Said Mrs. Weasley hugging

Hermione in one of her bone crushing hugs. They all got Hermione things and went off to the train. They all said good-bye and George hardly let her get on the train. Little did Hermione know when she got to Hogwarts she would get a surprise of her life.

Thanks for the reviews!!
