Confidence in Love
Authors Note: Thanks Miss Ida and childoftheorient for reviewing, I bet you didn't figure out who it was on the last line talking to Hermione (yes Hannah I know you did though). I'm updating pretty regularly now, so the next chapter will be soon I promise! I hope you like this chapter…
Chapter 2 – Fred's Bed
She looked up to see a familiar mop of red hair and twinkling blue eyes. Fred Weasley.
"What are you doing down here? It's like the middle of the night." He said groggily. Hermione's eyes travelled downwards and noticed that all that he was wearing were a pair of boxer shorts.
Hermione, transfixed by his lack of clothing, said the first thing that came into her mind, "My bed broke." Oh God that was like the stupidest thing I could have said to him ever, she thought.
He raised an eyebrow, "Yeeeaah. Whatever. You don't have to tell me if you like wet the bed or something." He grinned.
She looked hurt, so he hurriedly said, "Um joking. You know you could always have my bed." She made a face.
"Fred Weasley you complete and utter sicko!"
He looked shocked, but then a look of understanding flushed over his face and he grinned.
"Well that it an option if you want it to be." He grinned devilishly, "What I actually meant was that you would have my bed and I would sleep on the floor. Mind out of the gutter Granger."
He picked his words carefully; he had always had a soft spot for Hermione.
Hermione blushed. She actually felt disappointed.
"Not disappointed are you?" Fred grinned.
"No." She lied, feeling her cheeks go red. "Of course not."
She caught a draft from the fireplace and shivered. Fred looked worried.
"Come on. Just take me up on my offer. There'll be no funny business I promise. Anyway you'll catch pneumonia down here. It's freezing."
She thought for a second. Mmm. Fred's bed. Not a bad idea actually.
"As long as Parvati Goddess of 1 night stands and Lavender Lavatory don't find out. They would definitely get the wrong idea about us."
"Now there's an us?" Said Fred, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Hermione was in Fred's bed, fast asleep. Fred however had just woken up.
"George Lee, what's going on? I'm on the floor." They remained asleep.
I must have fallen out of bed, he thought. Without opening his eyes he felt his way back to his bed and climbed under the covers. It was very warm. He fell asleep almost instantly.
Lee woke up early. He had quidditch practice. He sat up and looked around. Wow, what was that lump on Fred's bed? He wasn't that big. He looked closer. And saw hair, Hermione's hair.
Groggily she opened her eyes. She saw hair. Red hair. Oh my God, was she in Ron's bed. No, she hadn't seen Ron. She tried to remember. FRED! OMIGOD IM IN FREDS BED AND IM ON TOP OF HIM!
Parvati was sitting reading her magazine. Thanks to Hermione she hadn't got to finish it last night.
Then Lee came stumbling into the room. Ooh, she thought, Lee in underpants coming towards me. Am I dreaming?
"What's up stranger?" Parvati asked, her eyes looking him up and down. He looked a bit fazed and disorientated.
"Hermione and Fred……" He yawned.
"What about Hermione and Fred?" said a dubious Parvati.
"They're in Fred's bed." He replied simply.
"TOGETHER?" cried Parvati loudly, her eyes wide.
"Um yeah, unless I was dreaming…." He thought for a moment, "No I was definitely dreaming about Snape, with a cauldron on his head actually..."
Parvati gave him a weird look. He shrugged.
"I won't ask. One sec, so they are or they aren't in Fred's bed together?" she said looking confused.
"No, they are. Hermione's on top of Fred I think."
"What!" she yelled. She tried to run, but Lee must have realised what he had said and to whom, and suddenly grabbed, her arm and said
"Hey, girls aren't allowed in boys' dorms, you'll just get chucked down the stairs."
"How come Hermione's in there then?" she replied arrogantly.
"Only Fred knows the counter spell!" he laughed, but then realised something else.
"You're her friend, right? So you wont go and tell anybody, because its
Kind of embarrassing, your first time and all…."
Parvati interrupted, "They…….." her jaw dropped open and her eyes widened even further.
"I HAVE to tell Lavender!" and ran off before Lee could have stopped her.
Authors Note: They didn't actually do anything in bed, just snuggled up to eachother accidentally!( Incase you were wondering) Lee is just a thick idiot who presumes everything (No, I dont like him very much). So I hope you enjoyed this one and the next one will be up in the next couple of days.
