Story so far: Hermione and Ron have jointly decided not to date, so the twins are competing over her!
Disclaimer: Its not mine...except for the plot!
Harry led Ginny into the backyard where they sat on a bench.
Ginny was so excited; she was finally alone with Harry! The only problem now was a conversation, or lack of it. As much as each person wanted to talk neither knew how to start the conversation.
After a few minutes of awkward silence and looking straight ahead Ginny couldn't take it anymore.
Turning to Harry she asked, "Harry, I…."
She was cut short by Harry leaning over and kissing her right on the lips.
It wasn't a long kiss, just enough for both of them to realize the passion behind it.
When the kiss ended she looked straight into his eyes and asked, "How long have you wanted to do that?"
He replied, "I've wanted to for a long time and I knew you wanted me to when you came into breakfast and declared 'no fish here!"
Ginny's jaw dropped, "You knew what I meant by that?"
"I've heard the phrase "more fish in the sea" before and I put two and two together."
Just then they heard someone coming down the path and jumped apart. They saw Hermione running and laughing.
She yelled, "The guys aren't far behind, you two better think of an excuse for not coming swimming!"
As she went into the house Ginny stood up, turned back to Harry and said, "We started up the path, I felt sick so we came back down, I've been in my room the whole time and you have been down here reading."
She gave him a quick goodbye kiss and went inside. She was partly through the door when she stuck her head back out and said, "I suggest finding whatever book you were reading!"
Ginny found Hermione laughing in their room.
"What in the world happened up at the lake?"
"Sit down, I have tons to tell!" Hermione said while walking into the closet to change out of her wet bathing suit.
As she talked about what had gone on that afternoon she noticed Ginny didn't seem to be paying attention. She walked around the bed to see a dreamy look in Ginny's eyes.
She exclaimed, "It happened! Spill everything!"
Ginny immediately snapped back to reality and told Hermione about what had happened in her absence.
Downstairs Harry had grabbed a book and sat on the couch, trying to look like he had been reading for a while.
Mere seconds after he had become settled Ron and the twins burst in. Harry tried to blend in with the couch but the guys noticed him quickly and started asking questions.
"Where were you?"
"Where is Ginny?
"What have you been doing?"
Harry sat up and replied, "We were on our way up when Ginny said she wasn't feeling well so we came back down, she went up to her room to lay down and I've been down here reading."
The twins bought it and went upstairs to change clothes but Ron, who knew his little sister a little better stood behind the couch, looking Harry straight in the eye, and said, "I know that is not what happened but I also know where you sleep so that makes me feel better"
Harry looked up and Ron and simply said, "I understand"
Upstairs the twins had made it into their room and Fred let George have the first shower. Fred waited to hear the shower start before quickly changing into dry clothes. He then walked down the hall to the girl's room.
He took a few deep breaths and went to knock on the door. As his hand went up to the door it suddenly opened, surprising him, and he jumped back a bit.
Ginny laughed and said, "Told you I heard something!" She walked past her brother and went downstairs.
Hermione sat on the bed and asked Fred to come in. Fred sat down on the bed stiffly; Hermione picked up on this tension and decided to initiate the conversation.
"Did you want to talk to me or something?"
"Uh…yea…ummm," Fred stammered. He was beating himself up inside, Why was he having such a problem simply asking a girl out? He had never had a problem like this before.
"Fred? Hello?"
He looked over into her eyes and knew why he was having this problem, this was Hermione. Best in her class, full of passion, beautiful and the smartest witch he knew, this was not some girl who thought his jokes were just cute, this was Hermione!
"Fred, I asked you a question," Hermione said while snapping her fingers in his face.
"What, sorry, I think zoned out there!"
Hermione laughed, "Well I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out tonight, just us."
Fred's jaw dropped, how in the world did she do that? She twisted everything around on him!
"Uh, sure, I think I know the perfect thing for us to do tonight, I'll come to your room after dinner tonight"
"What will we be doing? Do I need to dress up or anything?"
"Hermione, whatever you wear will be perfect," he said, regaining some confidence.
"Ok then, see you tonight Fred," Hermione replied smiling at him while he left the room.
He pulled her door shut and sighed walking back to his room. He walked in to find George sitting on the bed deep in thought.
"You shouldn't think that hard, it kills brain cells"
"I was trying to think of more ways to show how brave I am so Hermione will notice me"
"I think she noticed you today, Mr. I'm going to almost kill myself and then make lewd comments when I come to"
George replied, "I simply noticed her so she would notice me"
"Uh, yea, wrong notice brother!" Fred said tossing a pillow at George laughing.
A/N: I'm trying to make the twins into two different people...like it? don't like it? Let me know!
