Chapter Four

Cunning Plans

A/N: I got so many reviews on this story I never imagined! I don't even like this story that much honestly! But I am going to continue for you reviewers I love and sorry it has been a while since I updated have been working on my other story Intentions Cruelles don't be put off by the title it's not written in French I'm not that talented. So read it if you want that would be cool and anyways on with the story! Open for suggestions because I do not know where to take this.

George used his extendable eyes to watch Hermione sleep. He had a creeping suspicion that Fred was doing the same. He needed to get to know her, everything about her so he could win her over instead of his brother.

He had finally fallen asleep after he had been watching her for a very long time and magically set an alarm to wake him up exactly when Hermione was awake so he would not let Fred have any time alone with her if he could help it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Well morning there George and how are you this fine morning?" Fred smiled wickedly at George's surprised face.

"But…how…I"

"You really should try to make sure no one can tamper with your spells George."

Hermione looked up from her concentration on Fred and her face held a confused look.

"What are you two talking about?"

George gritted his teeth and clenched his fists trying to hold his smile.

"Nothing Hermione so what have you two been talking about all this time?"

"Oh Fred was just telling me about the store, how great it is being away from Hogwarts and not worrying about anything and some stories…"

"What kind of stories Fred?"

"Well you know, just some stories about the time when we were testing out one of our new products and it had some permanent affects on your…package."

"NO SUCH THING HAPPENED AND YOU KNOW IT!"

Fred smiled and laughed shaking his head at Hermione.

"Still in denial you see ahh well don't worry George it doesn't make you any less of a man…"

"HERMIONE DON'T BELIEVE A WORD HE SAYS!"

"Don't worry George, I won't tell anyone…"

"But it's not true!"

"Come on Hermione, let's give George some time to cool down. Have you ever seen the lake near our house? It's grand why don't you grab your bathing suit and we can have a little swim."

"Hermione wait don't go with him!"

"We're just going for a little swim George, that's all when I get back I'll hang out with you okay?"

"But…"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione walked alongside Fred towards the massive lake she had not been aware of before. For someone so observant she wondered how she had missed it, or why her Harry and Ron had never come here.

"So what do you think Hermione? Beautiful huh?"

"It's amazing and it is really hot out I can't wait to go swimming in the water, it's safe right no giant squids to surprise me or anything?"

"No but if there was one don't worry I'd save you." Fred flashed a comforting smile at her and she smiled back.

"Well okay then lets go!"

Hermione grabbed his hand and raced down to the water Fred's footsteps patting along behind her. Pulling off her shirt and shorts she jumped daringly into the water swimming to the center and splashing.

"Come on Fred, the water feels great."

"I'm sure I know what would feel better…" Fred murmured to himself then responding to Hermione.

"Alright hold on!"

Fred dove in and swam over to her purposely splashing her as a tease. After she splashed him back an idea struck his mind.

"Hermione want to have a little race?"

Hermione bobbed up and down in the water and cocked her head, "Sure what kind of race?"

"We'll race to the other end and whoever wins gets to pick something else for the other to do agree?"

"Sure ready…set…go!" She screamed as she began to race ahead. She had never come in second in anything and she wasn't prepared to start now.

Fred pulled out his wand and cast a spell so no matter what he would win. Then he jetted off catching up to Hermione in no time. Racing past he made it to the finish with plenty of time to spare and no loss of breath.

Panting Hermione leaned on the side. "How, how did you bet me I thought for sure I was ahead…"

"It's a little secret but anyway now I get to choose something you have to do."

Fred smiled and continued. "I say you have to kiss me."

Hermione's eyes filled with confusion but then something in her head told her not to go with the safe response of no way, live a little for once!

She wrapped around him and pulled his head down and kissed him on the lips softly then more passionately finding she really enjoyed it. This went on for about fifteen minutes with both people fully unaware of who was watching behind the trees.

A/N: I have had a sudden inspiration and I know exactly what I am going to do with this story so I will write more often. So anyway please review I read each one and save them even the bad ones! Oh and thanks to all about telling me about apparte really appreciated it!
