In a Whole New Light
Ch.3- SuspicionThe next day at breakfast, Hermione noticed something was wrong with Ron. He kept giving the evil eye to George and Fred in the common room. Not to mention he was giving the cold shoulder to her. So she decided to ask what was wrong.
"Ron? Umm…I've noticed you've been rather…well, distant lately. Anything I can do to help?" harped Hermione. Ron, who was very interested in his waffles, looked up at Hermione coldly. "No, unless you can get rid off the twins…" mumbled Ron. Hermione was just about to reply with a spell he could use, but then she realized what he said.
"Wait, what do the twins have to do anything? Did they give you a trick candy or something?" asked Hermione. Ron rolled his eyes and sighed. "No, they didn't do anything to me. It's what they're going to do to you." Hermione looked puzzled.
"What do you mean 'it's what they're going to do to you'? Are they planning on pulling a prank on me or something? Because they've done it before Ron…" Ron dropped his fork and replied slowly and clearly, "No, the twins are planning on---" He was cut off but George and Fred appearing behind them with course schedules. "Hey 'Mione!" they both replied cheerfully.
She turned around and grinned, both twins were towering over her with big smiles on their faces. "Here's your schedule, Hermione. Check it," said Fred. George glared but then his glare turned into a wink, headed for Hermione. She checked her schedule, which was Potions, Arithmancy, Ancient Ruins, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, History of Magic, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. She shared almost all of her classed with Harry and Ron.
"Well, we'll see you later Hermione…wait! Do you want to sit with us at lunch? We need your advice for a new Weasley Wizard Wheezes invention," said George. Fred nodded his head in agreement.
"Umm…alright, I suppose." The twins grinned. "Well, I have to go to the common room and get my books. Bye!" replied Hermione. As soon as she left Ron growled in frustration. The twins looked confused about his behavior.
"What's your problem?" scoffed George.
Ron sneered and sighed heavily. Getting up, he replied, "Nothing…nothing at all…"
Hermione went back up to the common room to get her things for Potions, Charms, and Transfiguration. She was half way down to Flitwick's room with Harry. When Ron ran up to them and grabbed Hermione by the wrist.
"Harry, I need to talk to Hermione. We'll meet up with you later," shouted Ron, walking very fast with Hermione trailing behind. She struggled out of his grip and yelled, "Ron! What the hell is your problem? First, you give me the cold shoulder at breakfast and now…now you drag me out like a moron and I'm going to be late for class! And it's all your fault!"
"Listen, Hermione! I just wanted to tell you, you shouldn't have lunch with the twins! Can't you see that they're up to something? Or are you that jaded?!"
Hermione lost control. She slapped Ron across the face hard. She looked angry. "No Ron! You listen! So what if I'm friends with the twins?! I can be friends with whomever I want to be friends with! But now I have the feeling you're just jealous!" shouted Hermione, who had flames dancing in her brown eyes.
Ron looked pretty angry still, but he had calmed down. He took a breath and spoke, carefully choosing his words. "Just…I'm not jealous and I don't think it is wrong for you being friends with the twins. Just…please Hermione…be careful around them. You never know what they're capable of and I don't want you getting hurt. That's all. Well, let's go to Charms and put this behind us…alright?"
Hermione looked at him skeptically and then replied, "Alright…just don't do that again. Okay?" Ron nodded and smiled as they walked together towards the classroom. "You hit really hard…ouch…" laughed Ron. Hermione just pushed him lightly and continued walking.
After their morning classes they headed towards lunch. Harry and Ron sat down together and Hermione remembered that she had to help the twins. They weren't there yet, so she just sat down at the end of the table. Fred and George saw her and walked up behind her. "BOO!" shouted the twins. Hermione jumped and turned around. Fred and George each had a tulip in their hands. "For you," said Fred. George gave her his flower and blushed slightly.
"These are only regular flowers, so no need to worry. But what we are planning is much more…" commented George.
"Well, what are you planning?" asked Hermione. Fred went into his robe and showed Hermione a small red pill. "So what is it?"
"I'm glad you asked! George?" replied Fred. George went into his robe and got out what looked like an eyedropper filled with water. Fred gave George the pill and he dropped a drop of water on the bright red pill. Hermione watched the pill burst and turn into a bouquet of red tulips. "Wow! You actually made something…nice?" asked an astounded Hermione.
George snorted, "Yeah right! This flower is very dangerous. If you give these flowers to anyone, they'll get a face full of chocolate syrup!" Fred grinned excitedly. "Well, what do you think?" asked Fred.
"It's…interesting but this has already been invented, by muggles. The only difference is that your flowers are produced by pills," commented Hermione. "It's still a good idea, though. I give it a thumbs up, guys!" The twins looked disappointed but the brightened at this comment.
Fred and George both leaned in and kissed Hermione on her now rosy cheeks. She stuttered and gathered up her books, saying something about getting a good seat to her next class.
Both Fred and George were seething. Neither of them knew the other one was going to kiss Hermione! This was heating up…
Hermione was exhausted from the days work. All of her teachers, even Binns, loaded her with homework. She decided to skip dinner because she was afraid of another uncomfortable encounter with Fred and George.
I wonder why they both kissed me, wondered Hermione as she got ready for bed. I mean, all I did was just compliment them on their invention! But for some reason, I wish I could've kissed the back…wait! May I actually, like…the twins? No…I can't. We're so different, but don't opposites attract? Oh well… She drifted into a content sleep. Little did she know, Cupid had big plans for her…
