Chapter 3
Thump
"Ow..." a feminine voice groaned. Hermione slowly sat up rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. It was the fifth time she'd fallen off of the bed and she could've sworn her back was developing massive bruises. Grumbling to herself she stood up and glanced at her wristwatch, it was 6:30a.m. No matter how late she stayed up, she always found herself waking up at the crack of dawn.
She threw on her robe, and pulled a brush through her hair. Hermione thought about going downstairs to read a book until somebody got up, but when she felt her stomach rumble, she decided that food was her first priority. Last night she'd only picked at her food... And then everything hit her like a rock through glass, her abrupt departure at dinner, Fred's advances and Ron's crush. All of the sudden all Hermione wanted to do was go back to sleep, where she could once again forget about reality.
Sighing she dragged herself to Ginny's door and down the stairs. She entered the Weasley's kitchen and instantly had no idea what to do. Now to be quite honest, the Weasleys weren't the most organized people, so when Hermione stepped in to the kitchen she had no idea where to even start looking for food. She decided against eating the variety of strange looking breads on the counter. She didn't like the idea of searching through Mrs. Weasley's cabinets either. She felt like she would be intruding her privacy. So Hermione sat there for a moment debating whether or not she should hunt for food or wait till Mrs. Weasley got up.
"Hungry?" A voice asked making Hermione jump.
"Oh my gosh you scared me..." Hermione said, trying to get her heart rate back down to normal. She turned towards the voice only to have her heart start racing again. There was Fred standing in front of her, his red hair sleep tousled and wearing only his boxers. Hermione glanced at his muscular physique and her knees nearly buckled. When you see Fred in normal clothing you can tell he works out, but Hermione didn't know he worked out that much.
"Oh uh hi." She said meekly, Hermione mentally slapped herself, she was acting like a crush crazy little girl.
"Hey." He said good-naturedly giving her an adorable lopsided grin.
"Uh yeah I woke up this morning and was a tad hungry so I came down here to find something to eat...I must not have gotten enough to eat last night." Hermione said, she couldn't make one intelligent remark.
"Yeah..." He smiled, but he quickly replaced it with a straight face, "About last night..." Hermione sighed, she knew this was going to happen.
"It never happened, I know." She said cutting him off, she willed herself not to break down. Hermione didn't know what the issue was, she didn't know why she felt like she was going to cry. First off Hermione knew that he was going to ask her to forget about it and secondly it could never happen, there would be too much controversy and thirdly she didn't like him in that way. But then why did she feel so disappointed?
"But it did." Fred replied shaking his head.
"I know, but it shouldn't have right? I mean it could never work out anyway, plus I'm sure you never meant to do any of things you did. I probably totally misunderstood half of it anyway, I mean I was a little stressed out, what with school coming up and now that I'm going to be in 6th year...almost done with my schooling..." Hermione continued to ramble on mindlessly as she watched Fred walk closer and closer to her. Her heart was once again beating five times its normal rate and there was about fifty butterflies fluttering around in her stomach. "And on top of that Crookshanks just died and I've been kind of upset about that and plus I don't know about getting another cat..."
Fred who was now directly in front of her lightly put his finger up to her lips quieting her down immediately, "Do you ever shut up?" He asked jokingly before lightly pressing his lips on to hers. The mere touch of his lips onto Hermione's sent shivers up and down her spine. He slowly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. His tongue played at the entrance of her mouth asking for access. But before Hermione could even react she heard a sharp 'ahem'. Hermione quickly pulled away and looked over at a bemused George.
"Hmm," George said thoughtfully, "That's sweet my twin brother making out with my younger brothers crush...in his boxers I might add."
Fred turned towards George blushing something terrible. Hermione glanced nervously over at Fred who stood quiet beside her. Without thinking she spouted out the first thing that came to her mind, "George it's not what it looks like!" Cliché, cliché, cliché.
"Oh my dear Hermione I think it is. Fred could I please have a word with you?"
"Yeah." He turned back to Hermione, he brushed his lips lightly across her cheek and whispered, sending chills throughout Hermione's body as she felt his heated breath on her ear, "We'll talk later." And with that he followed George out of the kitchen leaving a drowsy and confused Hermione behind.
"What in the hell were you thinking?" George whispered furiously.
"What do you mean?" Fred asked innocently.
"You know exactly what I mean. Kissing your little brothers long-time crush! Or am I completely wrong and you were just checking for cavities?"
"Listen George, I'm sorry. I just kind of got caught up in the moment you know?" Fred asked sheepishly.
"You just got caught up in the moment?" George repeated through clenched teeth.
"Y-yeah..."
"Do you have any idea what could have happened if someone other than me caught you guys? You could've lost your girlfriend, your little brothers trust, your mom and dad's respect...Fred do you ever just use your head?"
"Yeah, yeah actually I do. I thought long and hard about Hermione and I like her ok, I like her. She's beautiful and smart, plus you can always count on her to be there for you. You George, you of all people should know what it feels like to really like someone so much that you just can't let her go. But you see, the difference between me and you is that I'm not going to let her get away."
George stared at Fred tears began forming in his eyes. "I understand Fred, but I just want you to be aware of the consequences if you carry out with this little 'affair'."
"You know George, I have no clue what'll come out of this, but at least I'm taking the chance. Can you please keep this a secret?" George thought for a moment. "Please George?"
"Fine. I'm not agreeing to this for you Fred. It's for Katie. It's what I should've done, but I didn't. Now I'm not going to be truly happy for a long time, and I don't want to let someone else make the wrong choice...I just hope, Fred that you know what you're doing and that neither Hermione or Ron get hurt in this process. But trust me Fred, someone's going to get hurt, now you get to choose." And with that George turned on his heel and left Fred in the living room to think about his decision that could alter his relationship with everyone close to him. Was he willing to take the chance? The only answer that ever crossed his mind was yes.
A/N-Ok, Fred and George may seem a little OOC when they fought, but they really aren't. What they're talking about is a super sensitive subject for George and this is simply both of theirs serious sides, trust me everyone has one. Ok, I know a lot of you are really wanting Draco to show up, and he will, hopefully the next chapter, you just have to be patient! It's going to be good I can promise you that! I hope you liked it, I'll update soon!
