AN: Here's chapter 16, a new chapter! WOO HOO!
Chapter 16
In the following weeks, Hermione and George spent most of their free time together, since Ron, Harry and Ginny were all seeing people. Even Fred had started dating Angelina.
When they weren't playing Quidditch, they were either in the common room helping each other study, or she was helping with WWW. Fred didn't work much on the tricks and pranks since Angelina kept him busy. So Hermione became an honorary Weasley to help with the products.
Quidditch for the Gryffindor team was going great. The first match of the season was, of course, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. No one was surprised that the Lions trampled the Snakes 260 to 0. Malfoy was pretty bitter, but he was just ignored.
The Christmas season was fast approaching so the next Hogsmeade visit found everyone shopping. The lovebirds even split up to shop for each other.
Fred, Harry, Ron and George all decided to go shopping together. Even though George had no girlfriend he wanted to get something nice for Hermione, who had easily become his best friend.
So the boys all went to the jewelry store thrying to find presents for their respective girls. Harry bought Ginny a necklace, Ron bought Cho some earrings, and Fred got Angelina a bracelet.
"Come on George," said to his twin after making his purchase for Angelina. It was evident that he and the others were getting rather impatient with George as he hadn't found anything yet. "Pick something out! Get her something nice. She's practically your girlfriend anyway, so getting her jewelry will be just the ticket."
"I don't know," George replied, "I want to find the perfect gift for Hermiona. I just don't think jewelry is it."
"Well go look somewhere else," Ron added, "but you'll have to do it without us. We're going to get some butterbeer then meet up with the girls. Good luck finding something."
With that, Ron, Fred and Harry all parted ways with George, heading for the Three Broomsticks. George, on the other hand, knew exactly where to go to find the perfect give for Hermione. So he started in the direction of the bookstore.
When he got inside he went straight to the section that he knew he'd find it. He searched a little bit, found what he was looking for, paid for it and made his way to have a butterbeer with the boys and wait for the girls. Meanwhile in another part of town..........
Angelina, Ginny, Cho and Hermione were also out shopping. After browsing through numerous shops they found themselves at the joke shop. Angelina got Fred an new supply of ingredients for some new jokes, Cho got Ron a new batch of Chocolate Frogs and some joke items, and Ginny got Harry a new product, a fact snitch: just when you try to catch it, it turns into a rubbery version of a bludger-all the violent fun without the injuries. Hermione, however had been searching for the perfect gift for George and had suddenly been struck with an idea.
"Where's Hermione?" Angelina asked after the girls had made their purchases.
"I'm right here," answered Hermione, entering the shop with a large bag. "I thought of something to get George, and it wasn't a joke item.
"So when are the two of you going to start dating?" Cho asked Hermione as the girls made their way to meet the boys at the Three Broomsticks. "You two are always together already, so why not make it official?"
Hermione just laughed. "George and I aren't like that! We're best friends. Besides, I doubt he'd even think of me that way," Hermione replied, finishing the conversation as they had arrived at their destination to find the boys already there. The couples all went their separate ways leaving Hermione and George together, who decided to go work on the shop.

AN: So that chapter was a long time coming. I'm really sorry guys for the wait I made you go through. I just couldn't think of what to write, plus the whole losing my notebook of everything I'd written really put a damper on my writing. But I've found it, and I"m going to try to keep updating as much as I can. I'm home for Christmas break right now, so I should have some time, but I go back to college on the 18th of January, so maybe I"ll be able to update a little more before then. I hope you've enjoyed the story so far and also that you'll hang with me throughout this story. I have no idea how long it's going to be or what's even going to happen yet. I just know what pops into my head when I'm writing, so hopefully there will be some kind of end to this story. Please review and stay tuned for another exciting chapter of *dramatic announcing music* "Schemes and Dreams"!
