Dear Diary September19th
I'm going to Hogsmeade today! And I'm staying over night plus I get to see the new joke shop! I'm so excited. My homework is not done but most of it is so I can go without being held back. Anyway I wrote my letter to Damion this morning and I asked Dumbledore how I could get it to him and he said that there is a post office in Hogsmeade and that they do snail mail for an extra knot. It is still cheap and worth it Damion will love it. Anyway I gotta go, we are leaving in a half an hour and I need to get changed. Toodles
Love: Hermione
Hermione set down her diary after she locked it and then she put on a red t-shirt with a baby duck in the middle of it saying ain't I cute? And black jeans that looked like they were faded in the front and the butt. She pulled her hair up in a ponytail and then put a little bit of makeup on. She then grabbed her overnight bag and put in her favorite pajamas and a change of cloths and her brush and toothbrush and some mascara. She grabbed her lip smackers; watermelon flavored, and then headed downstairs to the common room where Harry was waiting for her.
"Ready?" He asked,
"Yes I am, this is going to be so much fun I mean I get to stay overnight, I guess that's the best part and all but still." Hermione said beaming. Harry laughed a little and then they headed out to the carriages. Both of them could see the things pulling them since they both had seen death, (a/n I know they are called thestrals or something like that I didn't know how to spell so I decided not to put the actual name in it.) Hermione hoped in an almost empty carriage, Ginny and Luna were the other occupants. Ginny turned her head still angry with Hermione. Luna on the other hand said hello nicely at Hermione and Harry both returned her greeting. A couple minutes later the carriage started to move,
"So Hermione are you seeing the student hotel first?" Luna asked
"Um, I guess so since I need to drop off my bag." Hermione said unsure, Luna nodded,
"Of course I forgot you haven't come to Hogsmeade yet this year." Hermione nodded and then turned to look out the carriage window.
"Oh we're here." Ginny said to Luna and both of them jumped out with their bags,
"Well come on." Harry said pulling Hermione out of carriage, "Wait till you see the new joke shop it'll blow your mind!" Harry took her to the student hotel first and they signed in and took rooms right next to each other. "Okay here we go the best store in Hogsmeade you won't ever got bored of it no matter how much your there."
Soon both of them where standing out of WWW
"What does www mean?" Harry smiled mischievously
"You'll see Herms."
"Did you just call me Herms?" Hermione asked in shock
"Appears that I did." Harry said leading Hermione into the shop, Hermione stopped inside the door and looked around open mouthed. The whole store was filled with stuff from tongue growing toffees to fake wands to ear extensions.
"Harry some of this stuff looks very familiar." Hermione said surveying the store.
"It should, think Hermione where have you seen all this stuff before?" Hermione thought for a but before she came to a conclusion she was lifted from her feet in a huge bear hug from someone behind her. She gave out a little scream of surprise.
"HERMIONE! So good to see you…" The person said in her ear
"We haven't seen you in ever!" and identical voice said
"Heard you couldn't because of a detention and homework not being done."
"Surprised I was when I heard the news."
"George put me done!" Hermione said laughing, "Is this your store!? OMG I should have known! Weasley's Wizard Wheezes of course!" Harry was laughing beside the group along with George who was also laughing.
"Don't… don't tell me that you… didn't know that…you never… omg Hermione I thought you were the cleverest witch of your time!" George said between laughter, Hermione glared at George and stuck out her tongue.
"Oh and look she did something with her hair! No more bushiness!" George said grabbing Hermione's hair had taking the hair scrunchy out of it, it laid down flat and silky, George ran his hands through it Oooo-ing and ah-ing. Hermione was blushing like mad at all the attention,
"Hermione, baby, you're going to have to get used to guys attention since you're just so gorgeous. Embrace it babe." Fred flirted. Hermione blushed again,
"Fred your such a flirt!" Hermione teased.
"Aw you know you love me!" Fred then slapped her butt Hermione gasped in surprise.
"Fred!" She exclaimed in horror.
"Oooo nice and tight been working out? I can feel the difference." Hermione put her head in her hands embarrassed. She then looked at Harry who was almost looked like he was going to piss himself laughing, well at least he's happy not sad about Sirius, I guess that's what Fred and George do they lift your spirits or in my case just plain embarrass me! Hermione thought.
"Okay look around our wonderful store we've created most of this stuff so enjoy and don't forget to read the fine print." George said saving Hermione from further embarrassment. Harry and Hermione walked around looking at all the prank stuff, Harry grabbing handfuls of some of the tongue growing toffees and some other odds and ends. They spent most of the day there but at dinner they decided to go to Three Broomsticks and George and Fred closed down their store to go with them.
"So George is this the only stores you guys have or is their others?" Hermione asked curiously.
"The only one she asks." Fred said mockingly
"No we have others we started out in London and we've expanded, we have workers in the other ones but we like the London one and this one the best so we spend most of our time between the two. We check on the other ones every so often though." George said seriously, yes, he is the more business one of the two, Hermione thought.
"So Hermione what is this we hear about you getting detentions and getting behind on homework?" Fred asks laughing.
"It's not my fault Snape is such a monster, so I slept in and was late I don't deserve a detention! And I have discovered I dislike books a great amount so well I try to spend as little time with them as possible." Hermione said heatedly.
"Whao come down fire woman," Fred said laughing
"Who'd have thought Hermione sick of books? Surprising revelation." George said surprised. Hermione rolled her eyes and ordered some pasta and butter beer. The rest of the group ordered some other food.
"So were is Ron? Haven't seen him around all day." Fred asked looking around Hermione looked down uncomfortably. "What you guys got into one of your famous arguments?"
"Well no, not exactly." Hermione said not wanting to explain, she looked at Harry for help.
"Ron asked her out and well I guess since you don't see them together you can assume what she answered." George and Fred stared at Hermione,
"Wow, I never thought he would actually ask her." George said to Fred
"I know I mean I didn't think he actually had the nerve." Fred answered
"And she said no, but I kind of expected that."
"Hello I'm still here!" Hermione said waving her arms.
"Oh right." George said. "Well Hermione we are not mad at you just to let you know."
"Oh thanks guys." Both smiled charmingly and Hermione smiled back at them both.
They parted ways after they finished dinner Hermione and Harry promising to come back to the store the next day. Both of them went to Honeydukes and spent sometime looking at the shrieking shack, both were relishing in memories of Sirius.
"It's getting late Harry we should get to the hotel."
"Yea your right, this has been good thinking back it's helped." Hermione gave Harry a hug,
"That's good Harry really it is." They walked arm in arm back down to the student hotel.
The next day Hermione woke up late and then went into Harry's room to wake him up.
"HERMIONE! What was that for I want to sleep!" Harry groaned crossly for Hermione had just dumped an ice-cold bucket on him.
"Get up Harry its 12 o'clock and the carriages leave at one and I still need to get ready plus we need to go to Fred and G's store."
"G's?"
"Its short for George I just didn't feel like saying the whole word. Anyway up, up, up sleepy head time to start our last morning of freedom before the week of torture of school." Hermione sang as she skipped out of the room. Half-hour later Hermione got out of her room after taking her shower and doing her hair and make up.
"Took you long enough Herms." Hermione rolled her eyes as they walked out of the hotel with their bags.
"Oh Hermione!" One of the twins said
"Harry!" the other chorused.
"You came!" Both just rolled their eyes and walked into the store.
"So Hermione baby how was your night? Quite? Peaceful?" George asked putting his arm around her shoulders.
"It was actually really nice. The beds are sooo soft! I almost died when I fell onto it. I fell asleep instantly it was like I was in heaven." Hermione said smiling leaning her head against George's shoulder.
"You know I know something that would have made it a lot more pleasant."
"What's that?" Hermione answered not seeing George smile evilly as he replied.
"Me." Hermione punched George in the arm
"Stop it George!" Hermione said laughing.
"I can't your beauty it just memorizes me." Hermione blushed a little again, "I like you hair is braided it looks absolutely childish. An adorable child face that I can't get enough of with a woman's body." Hermione gasped happily.
"Herms we better go the carriages are leaving in 2 minuets." Harry said sad that he had to break off the flirting couple.
"Okay, toodles George."
"Bye, bye my love." Georgetook her hand and kissed it, Hermione smiled and gave him and Fred a hug.
"Bye guys." Everyone smiled and then Hermione and Harry were off.
"You and George seem to be close, I wonder what Damion would say?" Harry teased
"Harry! It was just harmless banter! We are just friends! Anyway George is not my type he's to flirty." Hermione defended herself.
"Or charming it could go either way." Hermione rolled her eyes as they climbed into an empty carriage. "Anyway on to another subject, do you have all your homework done so we can go to Hagrids as planned?"
"No I am not finished I stayed up till 1 o'clock trying to finish."
"Are you almost done?"
"Yes I am it would probably take about half an hour to do it."
"Okay that should work, anyway I'm sure Grawp will be happy to see you." Hermione laughed at this statement,
"I am not going into the forest to see him." By then they were heading toward the castle but they were stopped by Ginny.
"Hermione can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Um sure." Hermione said, Ginny and Hermione walked away from Harry and Ginny started to talk
"Well I guess I'm sorry for acting like such a I don't know stupid anyway. We have been friends for awhile and I don't want to lose that because you don't like Ron in that way. I've realized that you can't force yourself to like him and actually I'm glad your not going out with him, especially since you don't like him I mean it would be unfair to go out with him just because you don't want to hurt his feelings. He deserves someone who likes him in return and you deserve someone you like." Ginny said sincerely, "Will you forgive me please?"
"Of course Gin." Ginny gave Hermione a hug and then they caught up with Harry and they walked in together.
Dear Diary September20th
Well Ginny is no longer mad at me which is a good thing I hate when people are mad at me. Anyway Hogsmeade was the same as usual but well I had double the fun, the twins are so funny George is so fun to be around. He makes you feel so good about yourself; he flirts and tells you how beautiful you are. Of course he is just flirting and all but still it makes you kind of happy. Their store they had was great too, they had so much stuff! It was overwhelming and they created a lot of that stuff they have brilliant minds in the joke department! Anyway as I was saying the twins are so sweet as well yes they are pranksters and all but you would never guess how sweet they are! Anyway I've got to finish my homework it's like 12 o'clock at night and I'm so tired but I need to finish my HW. Toodles
Love: Hermione
