CHAPTER 3: IT'S OK
George nursed Hermione for ages, until finally she cried herself to sleep. They set her down gently in an armchair by the fire and starting ascending the staircase to the boy's dormitory, "Don't leave me alone!" Hermione was sitting straight up, a terrified and pleading look on her face. They walked back over to her and sat down. "Hermione what happened?" Fred asked hopefully. Hermione hesitated for a moment, but slowly and shakily told them what happened.
Fred and George were shocked, both their faces were white and they were speechless. Hermione not sure what they would think burst into tears, trying hard to cover her face from them with a pillow. It was removed by Fred, "Hermione, I'm so sorry" he said, "We shouldn't have joked about your looks." Hermione smiled gratefully "it's not your fault that he's who he is" she answered, a disgusted look on her face. George was staring at the fire, but looked up, "You never said who 'he' was" he said, "Yeah Hermione, we gotta them back, tell us who was it?" said Fred, smiling encouragingly at her. Her mouth was suddenly dry; she couldn't say his name, so she shook her head, her eyes wide and fearful. Fred thought, "well is he in Slytherin?" he asked, Hermione nodded then shoved the pillow in her face again, as if it would make her forget all about it. Fred and George looked so mad that Hermione would have been afraid had she been looking.
After several minutes Fred said in a surprisingly calm voice, "Look Hermione, you won't go through that again, we'll make sure of it" he smiled. Hermione hugged him and George, "thank you" she whispered, "anytime" they grinned. Hermione felt safe now, not completely, but a great deal more, "I'm sorry" she said, "It's OK" Fred said.
