I apologise for any problems with the formatting of this story, I have tried several different things and no matter what I do I cant seem to get parts to stay separate, Ill do my best but if they don't work this time I am going to just leave it.
"Albus, are you sure that having those two as head boy and girl is a wise decision?"
"I do not doubt Miss Granger's capabilities Minerva"
"But choosing Mr. Malfoy, do you not remember how the power of being a prefect went to his head in his fifth year"
"Might I say Headmaster, while I am pleased to have a head student from my own house that it might be dangerous to have a head student so in favour of the Dark Lord"
"Severus, how many times must I remind you to call him Voldemort? Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself" At the mention of Voldemort's name both Professors Snape and McGonagall flinched. However, the headmaster was too busy rifling through his desk to notice. 'ahh, here we are' he produced a small white paper bag 'any one fancy a lemon drop."
"No Albus, I think it is a more important matter that you have chosen Malfoy as head boy. Do you know what plans his father has for him? Do you know what danger you are putting the school in, not to mention Miss Granger?"
"I take it you learned of these plans at the last Death Eater meeting?"
"I did indeed. The Dark Lord wishes for young Mr. Malfoy to use his head boy position to spy on Potter and his friends and on you too, with the carelessness of Potter and his friends it will be only a matter of time before The Dark Lord knows of the Order and all its plans."
"Now Severus, I know you are not fond of Harry, Ron or Hermione but give them a little more credit than that." With that Minerva turned on her heel and left the headmaster's office.
"I'm worried Headmaster, we will need to keep a close watch on Malfoy, and on Miss Granger too. I have noticed a small attraction between the pair. Do not underestimate Draco Malfoy, he will do all he can to sway Miss Granger's loyalty from you and her friends to him and The Dark Lord."
"So, 'Mione, I hear you had a little run in with Malfoy at Madam Malkin's today."
"Now who did you hear that off?"
"Ickle Ronnikens of course, he was positively fuming when he came to get George and me from the shop, sputtering on about Malfoy being Head Boy" Fred said as he placed a kiss on Hermione's bare shoulder.
"Don't remind me, I am trying to block out the memory."
"What did he say to you this time?"
"Just told me that I better pull my weight, as if he needs to tell me that, he is the one that better pull his weight! The nerve of the arrogant little –"
"What else did he say"
"Well, as he left the store he whispered 'gorgeous' into my ear, right after he called Harry and Ron, Scar Head and Weasel. Stupid Prat."
"Aww, poor baby. You were looking rather gorgeous today though."
"Why, Mr. Weasley if I didn't know any better I would say you were trying to get me into bed … … wait a second you already succeeded at that, so the questions remains what is it you are trying to get from me?"
"You know I would never lie to you 'Mione, so when I say you are a very attractive girl I am telling the truth, and as much as I hate to admit it I think that when you go back to Hogwarts you are going to get a lot of offers from the male population, especially from a particular Ferret."
"What are you trying to say Fred?"
"That Draco Malfoy is insanely hot for you" Fred told her as he placed kissed on her shoulders and back, "and who" kiss "can blame" kiss "him" kiss "you are" kiss "a wonderful person" kiss "and I am lucky" kiss "to have this relationship with you" kiss "and I want you to know that no matter what happens this year, if you do hook up with Malfoy I will support you all the way" kiss.
"So will I" George announced as he entered the room, "Sorry to interrupt but Ron is heading this way, he went into Ginny's room to talk to Hermione and well obviously she wasn't there now he is looking everywhere for her." Fred swore and pulled the covers up as Hermione rolled off the bed her back pressed against the cold wall.
BANG"Fred, have you seen Hermione?"
"Not since dinner, why?"
"Because Malfoy said something to her at Madam Malkin's and it made her face red, I want to know what he said and if she is ok"
"I'm sure she is fine Ron, now go back to bed." With that George ushered Ron out of the room and attempted to shut the door, but before the door was shut Ron noticed the pile of clothes next to Fred's bed.
"Whose clothes are those Fred?"
"What this old thing?" Fred asked as he picked up Hermione's nightshirt, shooting George a look that clearly said 'help me.'
"Yes that, it looks familiar."
"It was Hermione's, she gave it to Fred and I to use for the shop. Do you remember those hats we made in your fifth year that made your head disappear?"
"Yeah, but what does this have to do with Hermione's Shirt"
"Well before dinner while you and Harry were playing quidditch we were talking and she said we could probably make invisibility cloaks, and George here thought maybe we should try something a little smaller than a cloak and whaddaya know Hermione being the smart little cookie she is gave us her night shirt told us to work with that."
"Why would she just give you her clothes?"
"I don't know mate, ask her."
"I will, if I ever find her." Ron huffed as he stormed from the room, slamming the door behind him.
"It's safe now Hermione." George told the hiding girl as he transfigured a robe into a nightgown, "might I suggest that you stop this little affair, we are lucky it was Ron and not Ginny or Harry who came in here, or even worse mum."
Hermione crawled out from behind the bed and took the gown from George. "Thank you George, I guess you are right, this is getting dangerous, if Ron found out what has happening between us he would never forgive you."
"You're right, so I guess that means its over between us."
"Yeah, I guess so. Goodbye Twinny"
"Goodbye luv"
With that Hermione planted a small kiss on Fred's cheek, and a small kiss on George's. "thanx for keeping our secret George." And she left the room, quietly shutting the door behind her.
"You okay, mate?"
"I'm fine, I really admire her you know? And I think she does feel something for Malfoy, when I mentioned his name something flashed through her eyes."
'I fucked up big time today, I can't believe I lost control like that, I didn't mean to call her gorgeous, I was supposed to whisper her name, I was supposed to whisper 'Granger' I bet she ran and told Potty and Weasel-bee exactly what I said. I'm so in for it when we get back on the train next week.
'She looks good this year, kind of glowy. I get to spend the year with her, we have to share a common room and bathroom. I don't want to spy on her I don't want her to die, I want her.
Hermione spent the remainder of her time at the Weasley's hanging out with Harry and Ron. Ron did ask her about the shirt, and her story mirrored the one that Fred and George told, so he accepted it as truth.
Finally the day arrived that they had to return to Hogwarts, everything was packed and Ginny, Ron, Harry and Hermione were preparing to leave to platform 9¾. This year Mrs. Weasley was going to take them alone.
"Bye Fred, Bye George" Ginny, Ron and Harry shouted as they flooed to Diagon alley.
Hermione kissed each twin on the cheek and bade them farewell, then she too flooed to Diagon alley.
From Diagon alley the party of five proceeded to the train station, went through the barrier and the four students boarded the Hogwarts Express.
"I better go report to McGonagall, Malfoy and I have to get instructions, ill catch up with you at the feast."
So what did you think? I had fun writing this chapter, I spent the time sitting on the couch watchin TV (Oprah, and now a re-run of Buffy). Anywayz, please review for me, just so I know that people are reading this fic!
You should all thank RootbeerFloat for this update, I checked my emails today and saw she had updated her fic "Turn the Other cheek" and left the chapter at a cliffhanger! I remembered her saying in a review that if I updated she would too, so Amy your cliffy inspired me to churn out this chapter in a hope of you updating "turn the other cheek" soon!
Next chapter WILL have Hermione/Draco Interaction!! I promise!!Here is a poll for you all:
Do you want Hermione to turn bad or Draco to turn good?
Do you want Fred to realise that he actually wants a relationship with Hermione? And if so does he fight for her? Maybe Hermione goes bad and Fred follows her to the dark?
