Hermione was on her lunch break and on her way to meet with Ginny. She wondered what happened. Hermione had gotten a note from Ginny.
Dear Hermione
We need to meet today at 1:00. You know where. I have some news to tell you. Don't forget. P.S. hope all is still going well at your job.
Love,
Ginny
Hermione had no idea what it could be since they had spent lunch together yesterday. She smiled when she remembered afterward her unexpected dinner with Fred. It had been an experience just like their first date. Hermione wondered what was in for the future for them both. Her thoughts where cut short when suddenly Ginny called her name.
Hermione turned and smiled. Both girls hugged then sat down at a table. They ordered drinks a salad then talked.
"So tell me, what happened?" Hermione asked. Her curiosity was eating at her to know what had happened that caused her friend to send her a note so they can have lunch when they had just spoke.
Ginny smiled. "well…" She said then lifted her hand to show Hermione the beautiful ring. Hermione's eyes went wide. "Ah… Harry proposed. Its beautiful." Hermione was surprised but not to much she knew it would come to this moment but hadn't expected it so soon.
"Yes yesterday. After dinner we where sitting outside. Talking well mostly I was he'd been quiet all evening. Then he asked me. I was shocked. Oh Hermione I am so happy. When I told my mom she just smiled. She knew and was able to keep it a secret. I still haven't told my brothers. Well except Ron since he was there." Ginny said all in a big breath.
Hermione just nodded as she talked trying to keep up. She smiled when her friend finished. "So when is the wedding?"
"We are not sure yet. But I did want to ask you to be my maid of honor."
"Of course." Hermione answered. Both girls hugged and continued with their lunch.
Every one was going out today to celebrate Harry and Ginny's engagement. They where going to go to a new club that had opened only that month. It was called Moonlight. Luna and Neville, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, Fred, George, Kayla, Ron, Fleur, Bill, Charlie, and Vanessa. (Yes I have my own characters there).
They sat at a big table and where congratulating Ginny and Harry on their engagement. Wishing them all luck for their future. Soon couples started to go on the dance floor to some salsa music. Then Fred asked Hermione to dance. Ron was left alone at the table. He watched as Hermione and Fred danced envy clear on his face. Ron decided to ask Hermione soon to dance even if he was still dancing with Hermione.
Ron walked up to them tapped on Fred's shoulder and took over. Hermione smiled at Ron. "How are you: She asked him.
"Fine., you?" Ron asked. Watching her face closely.
"I'm good." She said smiling. She didn't want to seem rude but she felt uncomfortable around Ron lately. Especially since Ginny had said he had a crush on her, she wouldn't know what to say if he asked her out. She just didn't feel that way about Ron anymore.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out this Friday, Mione." Ron said to her.
Hermione face fell. Exactly what she had been dreading. "I'm sorry Ron I cant I already have plans." Well Hermione did have plans Fred had asked her out again. She smiled remembering and softening the blow of the rejection. "Sorry Ron."
Hermione looked at her watch. "I got to go. I still have to work tomorrow. It's my weekend to work. I guess ill see you at the dinner Mrs.Weasly is throwing tomorrow."
Hermione barely gave Ron enough time to nod before she turned and left.
Great now she had to deal with that. Hermione had no idea what she was going to do to handle it. She hoped he would just not asked her again. But she knew she wouldn't get that wish.
Just then someone grabbed her from behind. "Where you leaving and not saying bye to me." Fred voice came from behind her.
Hermione relaxed and smiled. "Do I have to say goodbye?" Hermione said playing innocent.
"Very funny Mione." Fred said. Hermione laughed and gave him a kiss on the nose. "Bye Fred."
"AH, that's not a good goodbye." Fred put on his puppy dog face.
Hermione laughed. "Now what's a good goodbye?" She asked him.
"How about I walk you home. Then I get the right goodbye." Fred replied.
Hermione pretended to have to think about it. "Um… Alright"
Fred rolled his eyes. "You have to think about it?"
"Yes I do." Hermione laughed at him. "We are here." Hermione said as they reached her flat.
"Ok. Now where's my goodbye?" Fred said looking at her. She looked so pretty today. In a pink halter and dark blue jeans and a black belt that has a butterfly clip and a matching pink butterfly necklace.
Hermione stood on tiptoes put her hands around his neck. She smiled "Now what do I do?" She laughed when he sighed and then kissed him.
Then stepped back and said bye. Fred nodded then watched her open the door and go inside. He smiled thinking to himself.
He wondered how he had never before thought to ask her out. When he reached the corner he apparated home.
When he got there he heard the familiar POP, of his bother.
"So bother, what's between you and Hermione?"
(Ok ill finish that conversation next chapter. Hope you like I updated sooner then before. Happy. I'm going to try to keep it up. Sorry again for the long wait last time its just that again I had problems but all is better now and schools almost done.)
