Chapter11
Dedication: To meandmysharpie you go girl on with the fluff!
February 10thMy life has been BORING! Sure I got George and all, but it ain't as if I can see him every friggen day! Or on weekends for that matter, McGonagall is still keeping me back for extra work and practice! Oh and before I forget everyone knows about us, thanks to Lavender that is, I had hoped to keep it somewhat quite. I knew what everyone would think and I was right, 'how could Hermione Granger the goody-good get George Weasley master of pranks?' Yes unfortunately I'm a goody-good again, I'm studying and being a good little girl like I should be or so the teachers think. Well actually it isn't to bad, I actually, god forbid, missed studying and following the rules, of all things! But I also had to because of the teachers and the threat of having to do more extra work but the scary thing is that I find studying and following the rules gives me a sense of protection and or belonging if you will!
Anyway enough of that, I barely have anytime to see George anymore, and it is depressing, the weird thing is that I expected that I would think about him more then I actually have. I mean if you love someone then wouldn't they always be on your mind? The thing is George isn't, sometimes I completely forget about him! Is that a bad thing, or worse does that mean I don't love him? Gosh that would be a nightmare! After all we went through to be together and to find out it was only a silly infatuation! No, I can't think like that I cannot! I love George or will if it is the last thing I do!
Love Hermione
Hermione closed her diary with mixed feelings, she couldn't believe she was having second thoughts about George. Hermione pushed her unsettling thoughts away as she locked up her diary and made sure no one could get into it again. Not like the last time, Hermione thought, I can't have another embarrassing scene that would be horrifying if everyone knew I might not love George!
"Hermione did you finish you potions essay?" Pavarti asked from her bed, where you could see stacks of books and papers surrounding her.
"Yea." Hermione answered breaking out of her reverie,
"Could you help me with mine then, I just don't get the morning sickness cure potion at all, let alone write an essay about it!" Hermione went over to Pavarti's bed and sat down where there was an empty spot that wasn't covered in papers or books and started explaining the potion. After Hermione finished that and helping her finish her essay Pavarti threw her arms around Hermione scattering papers everywhere.
"Thanks Hermione I don't know what I would have done without you!" Hermione awkwardly hugged Pavarti back; they were never all that close and the hug took Hermione by surprise. Hermione pulled away told Pavarti she'd see her later and then left the dormitory. Ron and Harry were engaged in a game of wizard chess in the common room, Hermione sat down and sighed, it looked to be a long night! She watched the game for a few minuets only to see Harry once again getting slaughtered by Ron, she leaned back into the couch and closed her eyes tightly.
"Hermy you look bored why don't you go see George?" Harry suggested after he finished the game Ron scowled at Harry and kicked him under the table. Harry raised his eyebrow at Ron but ignored him after that, he hoped Hermione hadn't seen the exchange. But she didn't her eyes had been closed.
"Did you just call me Hermy?" Her eyes opened glowering at Harry, Harry smiled imprudently and shrugged his shoulders. Hermione rolled her eyes in disgust, "I don't know I might get caught and besides he isn't in Hogsmeade during the week remember?"
"You'd be surprised, why don't you go see I'm sure he's dying to see his girlfriend." Hermione thought for a moment and then looked down at herself she was wearing black jeans with a yellow flowing short dress as a shirt it was longer in one side then in the other, her hair as lying flat cascading down her back. He decided to go see George, hoping that it would clear up her feelings for him.
"Hermione, what are you doing here?" George asked in surprise when he opened the store door for her, she smiled and walked over to him to give him her usual peck on the lips.
"I could ask you the same thing I thought you were here only on the weekends?" George smirked,
"Well considering that you can't come one the weekends I decided to stay here."
"But you didn't even tell me." Hermione said, George smirked
"It was a surprise." Hermione narrowed her eyes, how could it be a surprise when I would have never known if it wasn't for Harry? Or was that his plan? "Oh Hermione don't look so skeptical, it's the truth, obviously you didn't like it." Hermione raised her eyebrow, "Oh come on baby don't be mad."
"I'm not mad George I'm hurt, you've been here awhile haven't you? That's what Harry said anyway."
"Harry?" George asked in genuine surprise.
"Oh god this is a nightmare!"
"Harry told you I was here?"
"Yea who else would?"
"Well…Ron, I told him to somehow get you to Hogsmeade and then I'd surprise you."
"Well Ron hasn't said anything at all." Why would Ron keep this from me? Hermione thought sadly, I could have been with George anytime!
"The little git! I knew he still had feelings for her." George said under his breath.
"Pardon?" Hermione gasped, George jumped startled that she had heard him,
"Nothing, baby how bout we go to the Three Broomsticks and get some butterbeers?"
"George Weasley do not say nothing or weasel your way out of this one what did you mean when you said Ron still has feelings for me?" Hermione said shrilly.
"I-I didn't say anything of the sort!" George stuttered. Hermione gave him a look that said clearly I-don't-believe-you-and-you-know-that-you'll-have-to-tell-me-sometime-so-you-might-as-well-tell-me-now. George sighed in defeat, "Well um… where do I start?" George stuffed his hands in his pockets uncomfortably.
"How'd you ever come up with such a ridiculous idea? Ron is going out with Luna, and looks completely fine."
"Looks can be deceiving Hermione, he's putting up an act, pretending to be over you but really he's not. You'd know too if you were at our house over Christmas just after you left Ron was flying in hysterics over the whole thing almost ripping my head off! He also started yelling some nonsense about if I really loved you I'd come and get you and how he would have taken better care of you and how he would never have let you go. And don't tell me you've never even once noticed him giving you looks or just starring at you, I have plenty of times and I've only seen you two in the same room a couple times! He's plain smitten with you and now he's trying to stop our relationship from going anywhere! I knew I shouldn't have trusted him but he assured me he was completely over you and how much he wanted to see his older brother with his best friend. And how he supported the idea! How could I have been so stupid, my little bro just pulled a fast one over me!" Hermione stood gapping at George, Was that the truth? Did Ron still like her?
"Are you serious George? He still likes me?" Hermione said wobbly. George nodded gravely, Hermione sank to the floor whimpering and whispered, "No, no this cannot be happening to me, god no I can't take this I don't know what I should do."
"Hermione baby its okay, he'll get over it okay? Are you all right, don't cry cupcake." George took Hermione into his arms for a big bear hug. Soon Hermione stopped crying and took tearfully up at George,
"I'm sorry George, I just wish everything would be plain and simple."
"Its okay, how about I close up the shop, no one is in here anyway and we'll go to Three Broomsticks." George said. Hermione nodded and followed George as he locked up the store. Once they were out in the cold February air George wrapped his arm around Hermione's waist and they walked to the Three Broomsticks.
"Hey Rosemerta how bout a private room eh?" George called over to the waitress.
"Sure thing George, come with me."
"Private room? I didn't know the Three Broomsticks even had private rooms." Hermione whispered to George. George laughed quietly but didn't say a word, Madame Rosemerta lead them to a small room upstairs.
"Here you two go, can I get anything for you?" George went up to Rsomerta and whispered something in her ear, she smiled knowingly and left humming. George pulled out Hermione's chair for her, she smiled happily and sat down. When George took his seat all the lights turned off in a flash,
"Um…George?"
"Chill Hermione."
"Easy for you to say you know what's going on, I'm stuck in the dark." George laughed loudly,
"How do you know that? This might be a giant hoax of the dark lord!"
"George don't joke about that!"
"Sorry couldn't help it." George said grinning his cheesy lopsided grin.
"Can we have some light? It would be nice."
"Patience is a key virtue Hermione didn't your parents ever teach you that?" George teased; Hermione groaned and hit her head against the table, "Don't tell me! Your afraid of the dark?"
"Am not! Its just happens that I'd rather be in the light where I can see what is happening." Just as Hermione said those words a soft violin started to play in the corner of the room, Hermione whipped around, she couldn't see anything, "George seriously!"
"Yes my darling?" Hermione screamed, he was right beside her chair, "No need to be so jumpy I'm not going to kill you," Hermione hit him on what she thought his shoulder should be. "Ow! Oh alright!" George muttered something under his breath and the room was lit with a bunch of candles. Hermione noticed that Fred was their playing the… violin? He smiled at her and winked and continued playing.
"When did Fred learn to play the violin? And when did he get here?" Hermione asked grinning.
"He doesn't. And he was upstairs of our store." George answered as he went back to his seat across from her. Hermione raised her eyebrow and glanced at Fred, he certainly sounded and looked like he knew how to play the violin very well. Before she could question him further Madame Rosemerta came in carrying a tray.
"Here you are," She placed two butterbeers in front of them and some raspberry cheesecake. Hermione squealed and took a bite, and squealed again.
"Hermione if you keep on screaming I swear I'm going to have hearing problems."
"You have no one to blame but yourself, you're the one who ordered cheesecake and you choose raspberry! Is not my fault I'm sucker for it." Hermione said reasonably between bites. George rolled his eyes and took a swig of his butterbeer.
"Hermione after you finish inhaling your cheesecake can I have this dance?" Hermione glared at George and Fred, who was laughing in his corner,
"I suppose but only after I finish my cheesecake!" Hermione said as she put the last bite into her mouth, George stood up and took Hermione's hand and led her to and empty part of the floor. He put his arms around her waist and pulled her close she in turn put her hands around his neck and her head on his chest. The swayed to the melody Fred was 'playing.' They danced like that for a while not noticing that Fred had slipped out leaving the violin playing its own music. George leaned down and kissed Hermione on the nose, she looked up and grinned, he lowered his head and captured her lips with his.
"I love you Hermione." George said tenderly when they broke apart. Hermione smiled her eyes brimming with tears.
"I love you too George."
