Thanks to all of you that reviewed! Trust me, I don't want to make this into the same ol' Harry Potter story that everybody seems to write here. Yes, I agree, in this case Hermione and Ron shouldn't be together, but who knows what will happen? dun-Dun-DUN. This chapter will be a little longer than the last one, but this is where you'll see some chemistry start to happen. Enjoy! ;)
Chapter 2 Good News
"Kids, get up! Breakfast is ready," Molly Weasley yelled up the stairs. Fred and George arrived about ten minutes ago, and she knew everybody was eager to see them.
Five minutes later, Ginny came bounding down the stairs, when she suddenly saw Fred and George. She paused to give them a smile, then she ran to her twin brothers, giving them each a big bear hug.
"Fred...George!" I've missed you so much! How's the joke shop business?"
"Usually business is booming, but right now things are slow, so we decided to close the shop for a week to see you all," George said.
"Yes," Fred continued, "and we brought you something, Ginny."
"Dung bombs! Thank you! Now I can make Ron go away when he's annoying me!"
"You've got to be careful with these dung bombs, Ginny. Don't get them taken away from you. George and I made these, and they're very stinky! Only use them outside because they make a huge mushroom cloud when they go off ; but don't worry, they cause no damage--only smell."
"Thanks guys!"
While the three siblings talked, Fred looked toward the stairwell as he heard the light thumping of someone coming down the stairs.
"...Hermione," Fred whispered to himself.
"Good morining, Hermione," Ginny said.
"Good morning everyone...Fred...George?" Hermione said as she just realized that the twins were there. "Well hello! How are you two?"
"I'm great now that you're here, Hermione," Fred said flirtingly, and he gave her a big smile and a wink.
"Well of course you are, you never quit talking about her," George whispered to Fred.
"When did I talk about her?" Fred whispered back.
"Fred, I'm your twin. Maybe you never spoke about her, but I know you were thinking about her. Well, actually, I didn't know who you were thinking about back then, but now I know it was Hermione--and don't try to fool me, Fred. I know you too well."
"O.K., maybe I have thought about her some."
"Some my ass!"
"Oy, good mornin' Harry, Ron."
"Good morin' everyone," Harry and Ron said in unison.
"So Harry, how's quiddich goin?" George asked.
"Hey! I play too you know," Ron said defensively.
"Oh yeah, sorry bro! I'm just used to askin Harry 'cause we used to play together." George said.
"I haven't got to play for awhile," Harry said, "but i was hopin--"
"GOOD MORININ WEASLEY HOUSEHOLD!" Arthur said as he came into the kitchen with the morning post that their new owl, Eddie, brought. "Weasleys, including Hermione and Harry, we are going to America this summer!"
"America?" Ginny said.
"America?" Molly chipped in, "why in blazes are we going there?''
"Well, Molly m'dear, I have a conference with wizards adn witches from all over the world there about muggle prevention."
"Prevention from magic?" Ginny asked.
"Why of course Ginny."
"Well honey, this is great!"
"I thought you'd like this dear."
"When do we leave?"
"...Tomorrow."
