Chapter 3 of Love of the Weasleys
Ron avoided both Hermione and George for the rest of the day. It was disgusting the way they kept sneaking glances at one another. 'That should be me' he thought bitterly. He had always liked Hermione while George had never given her a second thought. Now that she was all pretty though he had "fallen in love"
***
"I bet you don't even know what those words mean!" Ron had yelled at him after dinner. George stared down at his little brother.
"What words?" he asked genuinely confused. Ron's ears reddened. He looked as though he wanted to punch him.
"You're just using her! I hate you." Ron hissed and gave George a little shove. George wasn't about to get into a fight with Ron but couldn't help himself.
"Were you spying on us?" he asked his face becoming flushed.
Ron smirked. "Yeah, so what if I was. Even if I hadn't everyone probably figured it out the way you two were looking at each other at dinner."
George's hands made fists. "Why I otta,"
Just then Hermione and Ginny came up the stairs. "What are you two doing?" Ginny asked sounding bored. George relaxed and Ron stormed off.
"Nothing," George muttered as Hermione eyed him. "He's just being a git," and he stormed off to his room. Ginny shrugged and started up to her room.
"You coming?" she asked over her shoulder to Hermione who hadn't moved. Hermione nodded and followed her. 'Ron really likes you, you know,' she remembered George telling her.
***
George flung himself onto his bed. Why did Ron have to so stupid? Couldn't he realize he really was in love with Hermione? 'But do you?' asked a voice in the back of his head. "Of course I do," he said allowed.
"Do what?" Fred questioned coming into the room looking just as gloom as George. He ignored the question.
"Why so glum my twin?" he asked Fred. Fred just shook his head.
"Girls are so weird," he said grumpily. George nodded and Fred continued. "I mean Angelina came into the shop after you left with her "boyfriend". You know how I've liked her forever?" George nodded again. "Well I guess I kinda lost it. And then she blew up at me because she said I should've told her sooner and stormed out. So what happened to you?"
George sighed. He really didn't want to tell Fred but if he couldn't tell a twin, who could he tell? "I kissed Hermione," he confessed. Fred didn't seem at all surprised.
"Let me guess. Rom blew his top." George nodded solemnly.

Hermione flopped onto her bed and stared at the pillow until Ginny interrupted her thoughts. "So," she asked, "what's up with you and George?"
"You think me and George?" she stuttered trying to look offended. Ginny laughed.
"Oh come on Hermione," she giggled. "It was so obvious at dinner." Hermione never felt so red. She supposed she probably looked like a Weasley.
Ginny turned serious. "Ron's furious I bet. He's always liked you." Hermione groaned and rolled over.
"How come everyone but me knew this?"
***
Hermione slept in the next morning and decided to stay home for the day. Not to her surprise Ron wasn't speaking to her. "I wish he wasn't so stubborn," she confided to Ginny. She just shrugged though and Hermione turned her attention to Luna, who had left her seat and was wandering airily outside. Hermione changed her plans and followed.
"Luna!" she called running to catch up. Luna stopped and turned. Hermione smiled at her. "I just wanted to thank you."
Luna looked at her vaguely, "Why?"
"Because you've really helped Harry become happy again." Luna gave the first real smile Hermione had ever seen her give.
The two had wandered out a little farther into the backyard. Hermione was surprised. She was having a real down to earth conversation with Luna Lovegood. Luna was laughing and actually confessed to Hermione that she really liked Harry. Hermione suddenly realized why Harry felt good talking to her. Even if she wasn't always listening she'd believe every thing. She had gone through a lot Hermione came to realize.
A loud *pop* echoed behind them. The two girls turned to find Bellatrix Lestrange. "Hey!" Luna said dazed. "You're the one that killed Harry's godfather."
***Ok so I got a little off the plot here but it should be a good ending. Next chap Bellatrix kidnaps Luna and Hermione in order to lure Harry to Voldemort. But Harry's not the only one going on a rescue mission. Thanks so much for reviewing everyone who did. That gives me sooooo much confidence. Thanks again! Please Review!!!
