3. Apologies and Proposal
As Hermione ran towards Ginny's room heard George and Molly's conversation. No-- not conversation but shoutings.
"Now look what you've done," she heard Molly say.
"What I've done? It's what you've done, mum," she heard George say.
"Oh come on, George."
"Mum, it was your idea in the first place."
"I was just trying to help her."
"What about me, mum. I'm your son."
"Oh, George, don't overact."
"Mum, I'm not overacting. It's just. . . we're totally different, we won't --er-- get along well."
"Now, now George I remember you telling me you fancy her."
"Mum we were in 4th grade, didn't know any better and besides--" George tried to protest
"Just apologize to her first and we'll talk this over --er-- quietly and calmly," Molly said.
George sighed and went up to Hermione.
"Hermione, I'm really sorry," George apologized as he went to comfort Hermione.
'Mione wiped her tears and avoided eye contact as she said, "George, you don't have to marry me, I'll talk to your mom and we'll sort this out."
"No, I insist," George said as he reached for his pocket. "Will you marry me?"
Hermione was stunned but recovered quickly. "George, that's for Katie Bell isn't it?" she asked politely.
"How did you know?" George wondered out aloud.
Hermione giggled. "I just know, George."
George sighed. "Oh well, have no chance with Katie. She and Oliver are engaged." Hermione was so shocked that she didn't realize that she was staring at George.
"So?" George said.
"What?" Mione asked.
"Will you marry me?"
"Oh! Maybe," Hermione replied.
"What kind of answer is that? Don't joke with me!" George exclaimed.
"Yes, then," Mione said. George grinned.
"Gotta go get mum. Won't let her invade our joke shop," George announced. Mione laughed at the word 'invade' but still she was hurt because George was only doing it for the joke shop. "That's life,"she muttered under her breath.
