Summary
Hermione Granger was currently engaged to Harry Potter, the boy who lived.
She should be happy about this, in fact ecstatic about it, after all she had been in love with him since first year. But she wasn't, she loved Harry to bits but the spark wasn't quite there.
However with a certain red head the spark was definitely there. Wasn't it?
Disclaimer: I have a secret to tell you. I am J K Rowling, you see I have writers block for the seventh and final book so I've decided to write this as an extra thing.
Not mine!
"Fine," Fred snapped angrily "but I swear, if he does it again I'll go and kick his ass."
Hermione sniggered a little bit about this statement.
Fred rounded on her and said "What?"
"You'll kick his ass?"
"Well, try to." Fred replied smiling at Hermione and sitting back down beside her.
They spent the rest of the evening talking about who they would love to kick in. Hermione finally fell asleep and Fred, not wanting to wake her summoned some pillows and a duvet before wrapping them around her and going to sleep himself.
Chapter 4 Fred's famous pancakes
Hermione opened her eyes and took in the surroundings around her, it took her a few minutes to realise where she was.
From behind her could hear Fred whistling in the kitchen and the smell of cooking wafting through to Hermione, she distinctly heard her tummy rumble. She stood up and stretched before wandering into the kitchen.
When she stepped into the kitchen she got quite a surprise. Fred was standing in front of the stove with nothing on but boxer shorts.
She couldn't help but stare at his toned chest and arms. She moved to sit down and Fred turned round to see who had entered. Grinning he said "Breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes, so make yourself comfortable."
"What are you making?"
"Pancakes," Replied Fred taking the pan handle and flipping the pancake in the air. "I hope you don't mind, they're the Fred Weasley speciality and they were all we had in the flat."
"We?"
"Oh, George lives with me, but he's hardly ever here. He stayed at Alicia's last night."
"Ok." Replied Hermione as Fred set a plate of pancakes on the table.
Hermione picked one up and nibbled on the edge of it. They sat in silence for a while when Fred asked Hermione what she was going to do today.
"I haven't really thought about it. I suppose I'll have to face Harry sooner or later."
"'Suppose." Fred mumbled in reply.
Hermione had finished eating, she stood up and said to Fred "Do you mind if I have a shower?"
"Go ahead. It's the first door on the left." He replied pointing down the hall. She disappeared down the hallway, when Fred had an idea. "Mione, wait," He called after going to catch her up.
Hermione stopped walking and turned to face him. "Why don't you come and work with me today?"
"You mean in the shop?"
"Yeah, George wont be in 'till later and we'll probably be run off our feet as usual. I could do with an extra pair of hands."
"You're being serious aren't you?" Hermione asked disbelievingly.
"Of course I am." Replied Fred "I'm always serious!" He then gave her one of the Weasley twin trademark grin.
"I wouldn't know what to do."
"I'll teach you."
"If you're sure."
"Why wouldn't I be?" Enquired Fred. Hermione didn't answer, instead she carried on walking to the bathroom. "So will you do it?"
Hermione reached the bathroom door, turning round she nodded at him and then proceeded into the room.

Half an hour later Hermione emerged from the shower feeling refreshed and more awake. She was quite excited about today. Not I'll know what it's like to be a Weasley twin. She thought to herself.
"You ready?" Fred asked once she had got dressed and dried her hair. She had desperately try to tame it, but to no avail. Instead she put it up in a messy bun with a couple of tresses hanging down around her face.
"As much as I'll ever be."
"Well that's a yes then." Fred said grinning down at her. "We're going to apparate to the shop. Ok?"

"Hermione, go and turn the lights on please." Said Fred as soon as they had arrived at Weasley's Wizarding Weezes.
"Where are they?"
"Over there by the door." Replied Fred pointing over in the direction. "Oh this is useless." He said impatiently "Lumos." A light bulb appeared on the end of Fred's wand, he handed it to Hermione and said over there, pointing again in the direction of the light switch. "That's better." He said when the shop brightened up.
He looked at his watch "Ten minutes 'till shop opens."
"That soon?"
"Did you think that we would have a nap first and a cup of tea?" Fred mocked.
Hermione blushed and turned away.
"I was only joshing Mione."
"Joshing?"
"Oh, it's a word me and George made up for 'joking'."
"Right." Replied Hermione looking at Fred as if he belonged in St Mungo's.
"I suppose we should unlock the door. Would you like to do the honours Miss Granger?" Asked Fred handing Hermione the key with a flourish.
"Well of course I would Mr Weasley." Hermione took the key and unlocked the door.
A couple of customers made there way into the shop.
"And so it begins." Muttered Hermione to herself before joining Fred behind the counter.
A/N: I know this chapter isn't as long as the others but it leads onto what happens in the next chapter.
