The Burrow
I fell with a thud into the Weasley's living room and was immediately smothered by one of Mrs. Weasley's famous hugs.
"Mum, you're gonna kill 'er" I heard the youngest Weasley say somewhere behind Mrs. Weasley.
"Oh nonsense!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed as she let go of me and brushed the soot from the fireplace off of my shirt, "You don't mind, do you dear?"
"Of course not Mrs. Weasley" I smiled and moved to greet Ginny.
"How are you?" She asked excitedly giving me the once over, "You look fantastic!"
I was taken aback by her response, but quickly responded "Thanks! So do you! Where are the others?"
"They're all out in the back waiting for dinner. Why don't you get cleaned up and meet us outside! Come along Ginny, you need to help carry out the dishes." Mrs. Weasley said in her motherly tone
"Ahh…mum!" groaned Ginny
"Come along Ginny!" She shooed Ginny out of the room, leaving me there all by myself, covered in soot. I sighed and began to make the long journey up the stairs to the bathroom. Once I reached the door I pushed it open and was immediately bombarded by someone screaming,
"THERES SOMEONE IN HERE! GET OUT!"
I looked up and instantly regretted that I did. I came face to face with a fully mature naked man with red hair.
"Oh!" I exclaimed, "I'm sorry!"
"J…Just get out!" shouted the boy that I now recognized to be either Fred or George.
I turned on my heels and slammed the door. I ran down the stairs in a rush, stumbling on various objects as I went. When I reached the bottom I leaned against the wall and pressed my hands into my face.
"Oh no oh no oh no oh no…" I whispered to myself, trying hard to get rid of the image now burned into my mind of that naked man. I could feel the heat on my cheeks when I heard the bathroom door open above me, he was coming down the stairs. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. I looked up and saw him walk down the stairs, his face bright red and worried.
"I'm so sorry…" I whispered, completely embarrassed.
He placed a forced grin onto his face and said, "Its cool Hermione…happens all the time. Don't worry." His face was getting redder as he said this, but I pretended to not notice and try to play it cool as well.
"I'm sure it does…" I smiled awkwardly. He sighed and scratched his head,
"So…uhh…how was your journey?"
"It was…"
"OY! FRED! Get out here!" shouted Bill from outside, I silently thanked him for relieving me of the awkward moment I was having with who I now knew to be Fred.
"Er….better get going…the bathroom's free now." He left without another word, leaving me completely embarrassed. I sighed and walked back up the stairs to the bathroom. The summer was already turning out to be full of surprises!
I know my chapters are short, but I plan to update almost daily, so it shouldn't be a problem in the long run, but still I'll try to make them long enough to be enjoy full. Thanks for the reviews! ) P.S. Thanks to boiledpotato for correcting my mistake!
