A/N: in this chapter I'm finally getting to the issue of Ron so I hope you like it.

Chapter 5: what really happened

"So what exactly did happen with Ron, you said he told you everything after I left?" she asked after George and the girls had gone.

"Well" Fred replied "that's not exactly true it's more like he admitted everything to me and the rest of the family so I didn't beat him to a bloody pulp!"

"Oh really, then how did you find out in the first place?" Hermione questioned

"Well one night about a week after the 'incident' I ran into Oliver at the leaky Calderon" he replied and went on to tell her about his conversation with Oliver and how he went looking for her the next day

Flashback

"Ginny" Fred yelled banging on his sisters door "Ginny open up I need your help I've got to find Hermione her flat is empty" just then Ginny opened the door Harry not far behind her (A/N: Harry and Ginny are dating and live together) both looking very groggy like they had just woken up, which was probably the case as it was 7 am.

"What do you want Fred, its early" Ginny said through a large yawn.

"I need you help we've got to find Hermione!" he yelled at her desperately

"Why in the world do you want to find her mate, did you just forget what she did to you?" Harry asked him

"No, it was all a lie Ron just wanted her to run to him for comfort, although if you think about it, it was really quite a stupid idea I mean come on if you were the one to cause her such pain would you expect her to come running to you!" Fred replied wondering why he hadn't just gone to kill his younger brother before trying to find Hermione, then said "you know what Harry, Ginny I'm sorry to wake you I'll just be going to kill Ron now" and with that he apperated to the burrow, Harry and Ginny following close behind him, sure they were angry with Ron after hearing this revelation but they couldn't let Fred kill him or face Molly Weasley alone now could they?

"RON!" yelled Fred "were you, you bloody git! Get down here right now" and Ron being as thick headed as he is came down stairs to see what his brother was angry about, well that was a big mistake.

Upon seeing Ron, Fred lunged at him ready to kill and if Harry hadn't have just arrived there's no telling what could have happened to Ron.

End flashback

"Well" said Hermione "I guess it was a good thing Harry was there then or I mite not have never seen you again"

"Well it got worse after that 'cause all that noise woke mum up" Fred replied.

Flashback

"What's all this noise about down here?" came the booming voice of Molly Weasley from the stairs

Everyone froze they all knew they were going to have to face Mrs. Weasleys' wrath.

"Well isn't anyone going to tell me what this is all about?" she demanded.

Fred told her the entire story and when he was finished she turned to Ron and said "is this true Ronald?"

Ron just nodded.

"Ronald Weasley, why would you do such a thing and to your own brother? You say that you're in love with Hermione then why would you do such a thing to her? It certainly wouldn't make her want to be near you! Ronald are you so thickheaded that you couldn't see what you were doing to the poor girl! And now she has gone and left, you child (A/N: Ron is 19 in the flashbacks) are going to have to face the repercussions of your actions! Now, when you father gets home we'll decide what to do with you! But for now de-gnoming the garden and testing your brothers new products should keep you busy!" she yelled at him red in the face by now.

End flashback

"Wow your mum was really angry with him, so what happened when your father got home?" questioned Hermione.

"Well Ron is still our product tester to this day. It kind of makes me feel better when I'm able to put him in pain every few days, and mum still hasn't forgiven him." Fred replied.

Hermione laughed at the thought of Ron leaving the shop with multi-colored boils covering his face grumbling to himself, he really did deserve it though.

"And just what are you laughing at?" Fred asked.

"I just pictured Ron leaving here covered in multi-colored boils!" she said and Fred started to laugh with her.

Once they had calmed down Fred became serious and said "Hermione would you consider us dating again? You know I meant what I said I still love you, I want to be with you, please say you'll at least consider it?"

Hermione thought about this for a minute and replied "Fred I meant what I said too but I don't know you really hurt me last time when you told me you never wanted to see me again, I don't know if I could go through that pain again." She replied but when she looked at him her heart melted and she said "But I suppose it couldn't hurt to at least give it a try."

"Really?"

"Really," and then she kissed him, when they broke away she asked "Now do you think you could get everyone to the burrow soon so I could introduce them to Anna and Melody?"

Fred was about to tell her that he thought they should tell his mother first, to avoid to much yelling, and then they could tell everyone else when George came through the door covered in ice cream followed by Katie and two overly innocent looking little girls.
