Disclaimer: It's all J.K.'s. I got my own novels to write. She can keep hers.

A/N: Thank you reviewers, you have been very kind. I'm probably not gonna finish this before Friday, unless I get alot of plot bunnies. So, then my updates won't be quite as frequent as they have been. Sorry. Well, here's Chapter 15.

Chapter Fifteen

"Alright Hermione, what are you so bloody happy about lately?"

"Huh? What ever are you talking about Ronald?" Hermione asked. Harry leaned over close to his besr friend's ear, but said loudly enough for his other best friend to hear him:

"I think she's in love mate."

For a moment, and just a slight moment, a strange look crossed Ron's face, sparking a little nervous jump in Hermione, a jump of guilt. Then he smiled.

"Yeah, I'll have to get used to this. I'm about over it all, you know. Anyway, who's the lucky guy Mione? He better be somethin special, or else I'll have to kick his sorry arse."

Hermione laughed, a bit nervously. "Well..."

"Come on, we're your best friends, you can tell us." Harry urged.

"Maybe we should go some place else to discuss this." The boys exchanged a look, and then shrugged.

About ten or fifteen minutes later, they entered the Room of Requirement, which was set up as just a quaint little living room, done in mostly beige. Hermione sat in a small, comfy chair, and the boys sat across from her on the sofa that was set on the other side of the coffee table. The boys each grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice set on the table and looked at their friend expectantly.

"Ron, are you sure this is all behind you? That you can deal with this?"

Ron looked at Harry, and then back to Hermione, and nodded. "I'm good Mione."

"Well, this might be a little much." Hermione began to fidget, looking down at her hands.

"Any time now." Harry pushed impatiently.

"Well...Uh..."

"Hermione!" Both boys snapped simultaneously, and immediately, practically before they finished her name, she blurted out loudly,

"It's Fred!"

Both sat in shock, not sure if they heard her right. Hermione's eyes were closed and she had her face scrunched up, waiting for a reply, a reaction.

"Uh...come again?" Ron said after a minute or two.

"Fred." Hermione said softly, looking at him now.

"My brother...Fred...My brother?"

Hermione nodded slowly. Ron and Harry's jaws dropped.

"W-well..." Harry stuttered. Ron stood up and walked around the table, to a now fearful Hermione. Harry watched closely, worried. Then ron pulled Hermione up and into a hug.

"Great! That's really great! Ha! Harry, can you believe this? Hermione, the genius and bookworm and almost stuck-up, prettiest girl in Hogwarts, who never breaks the rules, and my brother Fred! The biggest prankster ever and the owner of a prosperous jokeshop! She might be my future sister-in-law now! Mum always loved her like a daughter!" Both stared at him in surprise. "What? Am I not supposed to be happy for you?"

"No...No, I think it's wonderful. I'm so relieved." Hermione broke into a smile, and Harry stood and hugged her witha goofy grin.

"Congratulations Hermione. Fred's a great guy. This is just very unexpected."

"Yeah...it was for me too..."

The three friends went to the Gryffindor Common Room and hung out for most of the rest of the night. Later, when almost everyone was in bed, Ginny came in, looking only slightly ruffled.

"Where have you been? Out in those clothes!" Ron exclaimed.

"Oh, Ron, give it up. Get over it, I'm sixteen." Ron looked angry for a moment, but then smiled.

"Did you know Fred and Hermione have been dating?"

"Yes Ronald, how bloody thick do you think I am? It's old news." Ron looked taken aback.

"Well, thanks for telling my sister first Mione." Hermione grinned at him sheepishly, then turned to Ginny.

"I'll go up to your dorm with you for a little while." The girls went up, leaving the boys alone.

"What an odd day." Ron commented.

"Odd indeed. Chess?"

"Of course."

"So, how'd everything go, you flame haired vixen. Ginny giggled as she sat on her bed with Hermione.

"He's so sweet! And he has liked me too! For a while! We were about to, you know, hook up, and he stopped, because, you know..."

"He's a good guy. He doesn't want to take advantage of you, and he wants it to be special." Hermione finished softly.

"Yeah." Ginny agreed in a faint, dreamy voice.

"We are the two luckiest women on earth."

Ginny laid back after slipping into her covers. "Yes...I do believe we are..."

A/N: Well, I hoped you all like how I did this chapter. Review and let me know. Thank you reviewers, I love ya'll!

The Lady Luthien: In this fic, I made Blaise a really good, decent guy. So, no, he wasn't in it for a one night stand. He really has liked her, since the end of her first year, when he secretly found out about the Chamber of Secrets incident. Later, I will have a scene describing the details. But, since then, he formed an acute interest in her, and then kinda fell for her.

The Gryffindor Drummer: Well, I dunno, he just might come to the castle, but not sneaking. Like, as business with Dumbledore, and he kinda gets to see her. I dunno...

NinePurpleClouds: Yeah, they are some pretty horny teenagers huh? Lol, yeah, you should play Zelda sometime. Last year, when my friend gave me a whole page in her yearbook, I just decided to write my version of the Zelda theme song...you should play it sometime...Anyway, I've never played Donkey Kong...Well, actually, my brother had a game when I was really little, but I don't know...Anyway, I hope you update your story soon too!

Okay, so thank you to everyone else, the support is immensly appreciated. Hugs and kisses to you all! Thank you!
