Hermione sighed and threw the letter into the fire.

"Who was that from?" Ron asked over his transfiguration book.

"Viktor" Hermione replied, picking up her own homework.

"Viktor" Ginny repeated. "As in Viktor Krum?"

"Yes" Hermione replied looking frustrated.

"What did he want?" Ron barked.

"To apologize, tell me he loves me, misses me" Hermione mumbled. "All of that rubbish"

"Are you going to write him back?" Ginny asked.

"Of course not" Hermione answered. "Change of subject, please?"

Harry cleared his throat.

"Hogsmeade weekend" Harry said. "We all going in together?"

"I guess" Hermione replied, she looked at Ron. "Is Katie coming in this weekend?"

"No" Ron said, "She has to work"

"Oh, I am sorry" Hermione replied.

Ron shrugged, "I'll see her soon. I don't much worry about Katie and me, we have a good stable thing" He said, stressing the word stable. Hermione seemed to catch his meaning.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow" Hermione snapped, packing her books away.

"That was brilliant mate" Harry told Ron sarcastically.

Ron didn't say a word just watched her walk away.

Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny traveled to Hogsmeade together the next day. Hermione got quite the surprise in the village.

"George" she called. He turned around and held his arms out to her. Hermione ran and jumped, George swung her around, causing her to squeal.

"Hey kids" George greeted his siblings and Harry. "I am going to steal her for a bit, we will catch up with you later" Hermione laughed as George pulled her away.

They ate lunch first, Hermione going on and on about school and being head girl. George listened patiently and when she was finally out of breath he said he had a surprise for her.

He led her down to the end of the row of shops." here we are?' George advised her, motioning to a dilapidated building in front of him.

"What is it?" Hermione asked.

"We will be opening a Hogsmeade chain of Weasley's wizarding Wheezes" George announced, throwing his hands into the air.

"Oh" Hermione squealed, "This is exciting, I am really proud of you"

George beamed as he led her inside the building. "Were renovating right, now. The grand opening will be in a few months."

"Who is going to run this one/" Hermione asked as she poked around the semi-empty building.

George followed closely behind her. "Once it is up and running, Lee will manage it" he advised her. "But for the time being Fred and I will be over seeing the renovation"

"So you will be around more" Hermione said slyly. George slipped his arms around her waist.

"Maybe" he teased. George leaned over and brushed her lips with a kiss.

"I have really missed you" Hermione breathed in between kisses. George pulled out his wand and conjured a small couch, he mavuvered Hermione over to it.

"I have really missed you too" George told her. Hermione sat down on the couch and pulled George on top of her.

"I don't know when I'll see you again" Hermione said pulling her shirt off. "So, make it memorable Weasley"

George watched Hermione putting her clothes back on and sighed happily. "God I love her, he thought. George paused, his heart beating wildly. What is wrong with me, he reprimanded himself, did I actually just think that? The thought alone made him nauseated. I have to get away, he told him self, now!

"I really need to go" George told Hermione. He dropped a kiss on her forehead, "Can you make it back by yourself?"

Hermione looked take back by his sudden hurry but nodded anyway, 'Sure, I'll be fine"

"I will owl you in a couple of days" George said as he rushed past her and out the door.

"This was supposed to be a causal thing" George told himself as he took a walk around Hogsmeade. "If I love her then I could get hurt. I can't, that can't happen."
