Puppy Dog Eyes
(A/N Ah I can't believe it. I was spelling Hermione's name wrong, again. Ok well I've been thinking that I might delete this story, so if I don't get a bunch of reviews, I probably will.)
"What more could he give me?" Hermione wondered. Fred walked over to the storage closet and pulled out a box and a single red rose. He handed her the rose first.
"I knew that you would be coming here for your class trip, but I thought that you probably wouldn't want to be with me still, but I thought that this would be a good companion for you to have," he said, handing her the box. Hermione had no idea what it possibly could be. Slowly she took the lid off the box.
"Oh my gosh!" There was a Yellow Lab puppy with a large red bow tied around its neck, looking up at Hermione. She picked it up and hugged it.
"I thought you would like her," Fred commented, smiling. "Now I know other pets like dogs aren't allowed at Hogwarts, but I thought that I could take care of her in our apartment until you moved in, then you could take full custody of her."
Hermione smiled happily. "I have to go, but I will see you soon." Hermione rejoined her friends and told them all about her puppy.
"Oh my goodness Hermione, I am SO jealous of you. You have an amazing relationship, even though it's my brother," Ginny gushed, laughing at the last part.
"Yea, that is really cute," Ron admitted. He had gotten over Hermione and was just "playing the field" as he put it.
"I know. And he asked me to move in with him after this term!" Hermione said. Everybody was shocked.
"Well…What did you say?" questioned Ginny.
"I said yes!" They all screamed and congratulated her. They continued to walk around for the rest of the evening, and then Hermione ran back to the Weasley's shop. Fred looked at her in wonder.
"I'm naming her Abbie," Hermione said, out of breath.
"That's a wonderful name," Fred said happily.
Hermione walked up to him and kissed him slowly twice on the neck and breathed in his ear, "Bye…" Hermione smiled to herself and went back to Hogwarts. Fred stood there in shock.
The next three months were a struggle. Everybody was studying like crazy for their N.E.W.T. tests. Hermione received top marks; of course. It was the last week of school and the emotions of everybody were mixed. On one hand, they wouldn't have to do homework, or study, but on the other hand, they probably wouldn't see most of their friends again.
In the classes, the teachers were becoming restless, ready for the summer. Even the new potions master was letting loose. He allowed the students to make any potion they wanted to. Most of the other teachers didn't even bother trying to teach them anything, all of the kids weren't paying attention anyways. Finally, the last day had come. All of the students were excited except for the seventh years; they were sad. Hermione was crying, as well as Ginny.
"I'll miss you so much Hermione!" Ginny said as she hugged her.
"Don't worry, I'll see you all the time, I am living with your brother," Hermione exclaimed. Everybody said their sad goodbyes.
They went to the carriages with their trunks and left for the train station. Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione sat in a cabin on the ride home. It was a bittersweet day for sure. Luna came in and greeted them warmly.
"I just wanted to bid you farewell, for I probably won't see you guys ever again. I am going to the School of Seers to pursue my goal of becoming like Professor Trelawney," she said airily.
"Congratulations Luna!" Hermione said excitedly. She nodded at her, looking happy. Then she turned and walked out.
"That girl has always been strange," Harry commented. Everybody laughed at this. It was true. Luna was just a little bit off center.
Everybody circulated through the cabins and said their last goodbyes. Neville hugged Hermione shyly when it was his time to bid them farewell.
The train stopped at the station and everybody rushed off. Hermione grabbed her trunk and headed off. When she looked around, she saw Abbie running around on a leash and Fred trying hard to control her. Hermione laughed.
"She is quite the handful," Fred told her. He looked like he had been lacking sleep.
"Potty training?" Hermione asked, understanding. Fred nodded.
"Hi sweetheart," she said, crouching to be at Abbie's level. "Has Freddie been taking good care of you?" she cooed.
Fred looked at Hermione talking to Abbie. She had the cutest smile. And laugh. Come to think of it, everything. He smiled to himself. He was lucky to have found a girl like her.
Ginny ran over to greet Fred and the puppy. "Oh my gosh, she's so cute! Who owns her?" the red-haired girl asked.
"Her name is Abbie and Fred bought her for me," Hermione said, smiling. Fred flashed her one of his amazing smiles and looked over at Ginny. She looked at him and seemed slightly jealous. Fred went over and engulfed her in a hug. It seemed like this made her feel a little bit better.
"Should we go?" Fred asked.
"I suppose we should. I would like to get my things unpacked before I go to bed," Hermione told him. It was almost six, so they needed to get home to make dinner. Hermione said her goodbye's to Harry, Ginny, Ron, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
Fred and Hermione held hands and aparated to their apartment. While Fred made dinner Hermione unpacked her things in her new room. She carefully placed her books on the shelves on the bookcase. They had a quiet dinner then they went to bed. Hermione sat for a long time, with Abbie next to her, thinking about how life would be here. She decided that it would be pretty amazing.
(A/N I'm moving, so even if I decide to continue, It will probably be a while, maybe. But I really don't know about this story…)
