Summary: Fred and George are fighting over Hermione since she is officially single. They are getting ready for a swim.


When the girls got up to Ginny's room Hermione changed into a bikini and was putting up her hair when she noticed Ginny was sitting on the bed not doing anything.

"Ginny! Why aren't you putting on your bathing suit?"

"I don't know if I can go out there in this bathing suit," she said holding up a tattered one piece.

"Is this about Harry?"

"Of course it is! Harry will be here for the rest of the summer and every time we go out swimming he will see me in this thing!"

"Why don't you borrow one of my bikinis?"

"Because there are three boys out there who happen to be related to me and are WAY too overprotective!"

"Here," Hermione replied, holding up a tankini, "it is a two piece which looks like a one piece."

"I don't know Hermione…."

"Look, it looks like a one piece and your brothers won't notice until we get to the lake!"

"Fine." Ginny went and changed into the bathing suit and put her normal clothes over it.

The girls went downstairs to find four guys who had obviously been waiting for a while.

"Sorry," said Ginny sheepishly.

"Lets go! I'm ready to swim," said George as he walked out of the door.

Fred looked at George and then at Hermione. He walked over to Hermione and asked, "May I carry your bag for you?"

Hermione smiled at him and replied, "Yes you may."

Ron rolled his eyes and followed George outside. Fred turned to Hermione and offered his arm. She took it and they walked outside.

Harry extended his arm to Ginny and she blushed as she took it. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to stay here instead of go swimming?"

Ginny gasped and looked up at him, "I….don't know…." She looked up into his eyes and let him lead her to a bench in the backyard.

Meanwhile…..

Hermione was amazed at Fred and George's behavior at the lake. Sure Fred had carried her things and escorted her up to the lake but George had transfigured something into a lounge chair and umbrella for her to sit under. Hermione was pretty impressed. She sat in her chair and watched the boys goof off. She briefly wondered where Harry and Ginny had gotten off too but didn't bring it up. The boys hadn't noticed since they were all still trying to impress Hermione.

George called to Hermione and asked if she was going to swim or not. She laughed and shook her head no. Fred and George looked at each other and then at Hermione. She knew this look and took off running. The twin's long strides quickly overtook hers and she found herself up in the air being carried to the lake.

"Please! At least let me take off these clothes!" At this comment all the boys looked at each other and put her down. Hermione laughed and pulled off her shirt and shorts. Left in her bikini she looked at them and laughed again when she saw the look on all the guy's faces. She yelled that last one to the water was a rotten egg and started running to the water. The boys stood in silence for a moment then ran after her.

Hermione ran into the water, putting her head under to get totally wet. When she resurfaced she saw Fred and Ron looking at something across the lake. She followed their gazes to see George up in a tree getting ready to dive in. She gasped as he leaped off the branch and dove into the water. They all waited anxiously for him to resurface and started to get worried that he might have hurt himself.

Finally Hermione saw something bobbing across the lake; she swam over and found George floating unconsciously. She pulled him to shore and called to Fred to bring her wand over as she started CPR.

Just before Fred arrived with the wand Hermione had George breathing again. He started coughing and Hermione asked if he was ok.

He said yes and Hermione was relieved until she realized that he was looking at her chest and not her face. She stood up quickly, gathered her things, and started back down the path.

Fred turned to George and sarcastically said "Nice job."

He and Ron started down the path leaving George yelling "What did I do?"
