Authors Note: This chapter is longer than the rest because I got bored and wrote both chapters in one night. I thought they both seemed to short by themselves and thought that it would be better if I combined them. So here they- it is.
"Ron, sweetie," Lavender called through the flat. She had just come back from shopping when she had seen a rather interesting article in the Daily Prophet.
Ron groaned, not ready to get out of bed. Lavender and him had had a wild night filled with fire whiskey and lots and lots of drunken strip poker- not to mention the sex. Thank god he had the day off or he'd probably be fired for the state he was in. How the hell was Lavender so chipper after the night they just had?
Lavender passed through the kitchen and into the bedroom where she sat down on the bed next to Ron. "You never told me Hermione into girls."
Ron turned over, confused, "No she's not."
Lavender gave off a short laugh, "Um, you must have missed the signs."
With that she threw down the paper so Ron could look at it. His eyes grew wide as he saw his now ex-girlfriend kissing his baby sister on the front of the Daily Prophet. For a moment, he was speechless until, "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?" came from his mouth.
GRANGER SWITCHES WEASLEYS
Hermione Granger was seen at a local club with best-friend Ginny Weasley. The ladies seemed to be having a rather normal club night until sources say the two began to dance. Things became heated and the two kissed passionately out in the open. Has this affair been going on for some time? We think so.
Ron Weasley has been seen a number of times with ex-fiancé, Lavender Brown. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger broke up a short time ago, and Ginny Weasley and Lavender Brown may have been the cause of it. Had Hermione been getting bored of Ron, or just the male population? In any case, Hermione and Ginny are certainly an item now.

"THAT RITA SKEETER!" Hermione bellowed throughout the flat. "I'm going to kill her! She has not right to do that! How could she? She's nothing but a damn hooker skank bitch!" Hermione get another yell of frustration out as she read the paper at breakfast, for the ninth time. Ginny resisted the urge to giggle at her girlfriend's choice of words. She had to put a silencing charm over the flat last night because of Hermione's screaming and yelling.
"Baby!" Ginny said, taking her hand, "We'll just deny it until we're ready, okay?"
Hermione smiled like a little girl with a lollipop.
Ginny looked confused, "What?"
"You called me baby."
Ginny laughed, "Yeah so?"
"I liked it. It kind of makes us seem more.. Official."
"And being outed in the newspaper doesn't?"
Hermione thought about that one. Okay, so she had a point. But this was between them. "It was just nice."
"Well, expect more of it because you're my baby," Ginny said, kissing Hermione on the nose. "And no matter how hard anyone tries, no one is going to change that."
Hermione smiled. "Good." Ginny began to walk back towards the living room where she was working on a song for the next performance. It was about Hermione, but she wouldn't let Hermione see it. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't even get a glimpse of a note Ginny was writing. She knew how much this stuff meant to Ginny and she wasn't going to sneak a peek late at night. Hermione watched Ginny has her hips swayed back and forth.
"Don't walk like that," Hermione said.
"Walk like what?" Ginny asked, obviously confused.
"All sexy and stuff."
Ginny laughed, "I'm just walking normally."
"But you're too sexy."
Ginny laughed as Hermione joined her on the couch and she immediately closed her folder. Hermione rolled her eyes and laughed as she sat across the coffee table on the floor instead so Ginny could work.
"So, I've been thinking…" Ginny started.
"Yeah?"
"How does Harry have a date with Luna?" Ginny asked. "She died in the war…"
"Didn't you hear about it?" Hermione asked, wondering how Ginny never knew this. Luna had been one of Ginny's close friends. "When Luna was captured, she was rescued but they told everyone that she had died so they wouldn't look for her and kill her. After all the death eaters had been found, she was able to come out of hiding."
"Oh." Ginny said, glad her friend wasn't dead after all. "I want to see her."
"You probably will. Harry will probably bring her to that dinner."
"Oh yeah, the dinner from hell," Ginny said, scribbling some side note. "Are you sure you want to go? Ron will be there…" As much as she knew Hermione liked her, she couldn't help but feel nervous that Hermione might go back to Ron.
"Yeah, I know, but I've got to face him sooner or later, right?" Hermione said, "Besides, I've got to see him a lot more considering you're my girlfriend and I expect that to continue."
Ginny smiled. Of course, how could she ever give up Hermione?
Hermione nodded towards the work, "Play for me. Please."
"Hermione- you know I'm not ready."
"Ginny, I'm your girlfriend. If you can't play in front of me, who can you?"
Ginny thought about it. She really wanted to let Hermione hear her play, but she wasn't sure she was ready. She closed her folder, and she placed it next to her on the couch before she got up and sat next to Hermione. "Listen- me and Collin have been playing at a muggle club. He does a lot of the singing and sometime we do duets and then I always do the last song solo. I'd really like it if you came on Saturday. That's where I was last Saturday. I play every week. You have to understand though. I don't know those people so it's easy for me to play. You mean the world to me- so it's harder. I'd really like you to come though."
Hermione smiled. "I understand, Ginny. I'd really like to go."
Ginny returned the smile, giving her a light kiss on the lips. "You're still not allowed to hear anything until then though. I'm planning on playing your song."
"I can't wait." Hermione replied, hugging Ginny. "And even if you suck, I'll still love you."
Ginny paused. "You love me? Like actually in love me?"
Hermione's heart stopped. She hadn't meant to say it. It had slipped out- she meant it- but she wasn't going to tell Ginny for fear the Ginny didn't feel that strongly. She gulped, "Um, yeah, but it's okay if you don't I totally understand I mean I know we've only been dating a since Sunday and it's only Tuesday now.. that's only a couple days but I…"
Ginny cut her off by kissing her- hard. She heard Hermione gasp in shock, then return the kiss. "I love you when you babble."
Hermione smiled, "Really?"
"Yes. I love you when you read. I love you when you sleep. I love you every time of every day. I think I always have. I think that one drunken night just made me open my eyes." Ginny replied.
Hermione connected their lips again, "Me too."
They kissed yet again before Ginny wrapped her arms around and started to lean Hermione on the ground. Ginny bit Hermione's bottom lip, asking for entrance, which was accepted. Hermione moaned as she felt Ginny's hand go slightly under her shirt and touch her lower back.
Hermione dug her hands into Ginny's hair before oxygen became and issue and the two broke apart.
"Wow," Hermione said.
"Wow is right." Ginny said. "Where the hell did you learn to kiss like that? Never mind, don't answer that. Just do it again."
Hermione giggled as the two kissed again. She felt Ginny move her lips off of her's and move to her ear and Ginny began to kiss and nibble on her ear. Hermione let out a soft moan before sliding her hands under Ginny's shirt and began to explore her skin.
All of a sudden the heat was gone- and Hermione wanted more. She looked up and saw Ginny smiling over her. "You have to go."
"What?" Hermione asked.
"You have to go. I need to finish the music, and you can't be here." Ginny said, pulling Hermione up. Hermione started to speak, but Ginny cut her off. "I know- I want to keep doing it too, but if we keep doing this I'll want to do it everyday and I'll never finish the music."
"But-"
"No buts." Ginny said, pushing Hermione out of the flat.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Buy me something. Read a book. Just don't come back until five."
With that she closed the door, leaving a very 'wanting-Ginny' Hermione outside.

"She is…" Ginny sang lightly to herself, pressing down on some of the keys on her piano trying to find the right note for each word. She had managed to get most of the song done. She sighed. This was Hermione's song. It had to be perfect. She had cast a silencing spell over the flat so that even if Hermione had decided to go nowhere and sit outside the door she still wouldn't be able to hear her.
She played the song that she had over again. It needed another verse before it was finished. Ginny sighed, she thought of Hermione. She was everything she wanted that she never knew she needed. Suddenly it came to her. She wrote it down and played out the notes. Then she played the song over again. Finally, she was done. It was perfect.
She heard a knock at the door.
"Ginny? Am I allowed in yet?" She heard Hermione say from outside the door.
Ginny looked at the clock, it was 5:15. Ginny closed the folder and went to the door. When she opened it she saw a very defeated-looking Hermione standing there.
"Yes, you can come in." Ginny said.
Hermione's face lit up as she stepped inside. Ginny grabbed her arm before she could get any farther inside and pulled Hermione to her. They shared a searing kiss before they closed the door. Then Hermione asked, "And what do I owe the pleasure of that kiss?"
"For understanding…" Ginny said.

On Thursday when the two girls had finished breakfast, they we're ready to go to work. They shared a kiss before opening the door. They had decided to cool it in public, especially since the article came out, until they we're ready to fully come out to the open. They weren't sure they were ready for the confused glances and stares. They walked down the flight of stairs. Ginny gave Hermione's hand a light squeeze before letting it go.
When Hermione opened the door, they saw several cameras flashing.
"Hermione, is it true you two are a couple?"
"Ginny, how does your brother feel about you two?"
"When did this start?"
"Will you kiss for us?"
"Would you mind terribly-"
Hermione shut the door. They both looked at each other. Yes, they knew that this would cause a commotion, but they didn't think that the two would suddenly become as famous as the Weird Sisters. Yes, they had helped kill Voldemort, but so did a lot of other people.
"Wow," Ginny breathed.
"What are we going to do?"
"Run like hell?" Ginny suggested.
"There's too many of them." Hermione pointed out.
Ginny though about it, "There's a fire escape right outside the flat window. From there we can apparate to the bookstore. They won't let media in there."
"Good thinking," Hermione said.
The two went back upstairs, and climbed through the window in Ginny's bedroom. Within a flash, the two were in the bookstore. Mr. Robinson looked at his watch, and then at them. "You two are early."
"We had to apparate here. There were cameras beyond cameras flooded around the flat." Ginny said, looking at him. She wasn't sure if he knew why there were cameras. Instead of having to explain he gave them a knowing look and gave them their specific duties for the day.
Ginny was stuck at the cashier as Hermione put the new books on the shelves that Ginny had been organizing a couple days ago. Hermione had decided to wear a skirt, and Ginny was taking advantage of that. As Hermione was facing away from her, setting books on the shelves, Ginny was staring at Hermione's tan slender legs. She bit her lip. All of a sudden, Hermione turned around and Ginny didn't get her eyes up fast enough before Hermione realized what Ginny had been doing.
"Ginny, were you just checking me out?" Hermione asked, glad that there was no one in the bookstore at that particular moment.
Ginny grinned, blushing, "Maybe… I can't help it. You're there and I can't do anything." She whined.
Hermione looked around. "Robinson is out to lunch for the next fifteen minutes."
Ginny made a face, "So… that means we don't have lunch for another hour…"
Hermione sighed; Ginny wasn't getting at what she was getting at. Hermione pushed the cart back behind the counter to where Ginny was. She took Ginny's hand and pushed the door to the back open. She saw Ginny's eyes go wide.
"Hermione- we're at work!"
"So?"
"So… when did you get a rebel side?" Ginny had never seen this side of Hermione before. Hermione leaned against a wall and pulled Ginny to her.
"When I decided there was no way I was going to pass up a make out session like the slut horny librarians do in the movies," Hermione said, referring to Ginny's previous statement before. Ginny grinned as she placed a kiss on Hermione's cheek before kissing her on the lips.
Hermione placed her hands around Ginny's waist, pulling her closer. Ginny complied as she sucked and nibbled on Hermione's lips before she felt her tongue meet Hermione's and she let out a soft moan. It felt so good. Hermione felt like she was on fire. Passion burned through her body. She lost track of time.
Hermione felt Ginny place her thigh between her legs and let of a moan as her hips buckled at the feeling. Their lips never broke contact. Ginny had never felt anything like this before; all of a sudden she wanted to feel every part of Hermione. She wanted to know everything and anything about the girl. God, she was so deep in love she didn't think she could climb back out if she tried.
Ginny placed her hand on Hermione's bare thigh before she let it travel upwards. Hermione wrapped the leg around Ginny's leg for support. She was experiencing so much pleasure she thought she might faint. Hermione's pulse raced as she felt Ginny tugging at her panties when they heard a cough coming from the door.
The broke apart quickly and realized that Mr. Robinson was standing at the door. He was a deep red and looked very embarrassed. "I-I'm very happy for you too, but could you please refrain from doing that at work."
"Yes, sir," Ginny said, her voice squeaking.
"Thank you." He said, turning away. "And you have a customer!"
Ginny turned back to look at Hermione who had turned a deep shade of pink before they both burst into giggles. "Did you see the look on his face?" Hermione asked between giggle fits.
"He looked so embarrassed." Ginny said, "But I bet he got a good show."
"Okay, so no more make out sessions at work, you hear me?" Hermione said, pointing a finger at Ginny, as if it was all her fault.
"Excuse me, but I do believe it was you who seduced me." Ginny replied, smacking Hermione's ass before leaving the backroom to serve the customer.
"Hello, sir, how may I sex- serve you today?"
God damn.

"Do you think it's safe to leave?" Hermione asked as they stood at the door of the bookstore. So far they couldn't see any photographers, but after this morning they couldn't help but be careful.
"I think so," Ginny said as she opened the door. They took a step outside. So far, no photographers. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw a man with a camera in a window, then one in a shop. "They're hiding," Ginny whispered.
Hermione nodded, "I noticed. Just act natural."
"Oh fuck," Ginny said, realizing who was in front of them. Ron.
"What?" Hermione asked who hadn't seen her red headed ex.
"Ron's here." Ginny said, nodding towards him, "He's coming over."
Hermione panicked. She instinctively grabbed Ginny's hand. Ginny smiled at the thought. Maybe they could do this. Maybe they could be out. Officially. Hermione squeezed Ginny's hand. Half for protection. Half in fear. She hadn't seen Ron since the breakup and she was sure that Ron had heard about her and Ginny. She didn't care who saw them at that moment. As long as she had Ginny, she would be fine.
"Hey, Hermione." Ron called over to them.
They stopped and turned. He noticed their hands linked together and frowned.
"Ron," Hermione said in a monotone voice.
"I wanted to talk.." he started.
"Your sister is here, why don't you acknowledge her?"
"Hey… Ginny," Ron looked over at her darkly. Ginny squeezed Hermione's hand tightly. Hermione was her's.
"Hello, Ronald," She greeted in the same monotone voice as Hermione.
"Hermione, I wanted to talk."
"There's nothing to talk about, Ron." Hermione said. "You cheated on me. I left. End of story." She started to walk away, but Ron stopped her.
"What about Ginny? Are you really seeing her?" he asked disgust in his voice.
"It's none of your information, but yes, I am." Hermione said, glaring at him.
Ginny watched as the photographers became less and less obvious.
"I don't believe you," Ron said, "You love me, you've always loved me."
"No, Ron. I don't. I've found someone better. Obviously so did you, and you're just going to accept the fact that we're through. You can go back to your new girlfriend now," Hermione started to walk away, pulling Ginny with her.
"Prove it!" Ron screamed at them.
"What?"
"Prove it! Prove you don't like me!"
"How?"
"I don't know. Just do it."
Hermione knew what he was doing. He didn't think she would kiss Ginny in front of all these cameras, but boy was he wrong. She loved Ginny and she would do anything for her. Hermione turned to Ginny, with that look in her eyes.
"Hermione, you don't have to, as much as I want you to, you don't have to," Ginny said, but thought, please, I don't want to hide anymore.
Hermione smirked. She wanted this. She wanted out. She wanted to be free of Ron.
"Reporters, Ron, and anyone else interested," Hermione yelled through the street, catching anyone's attention who hadn't already been watching. "I love Ginny Weasley with all my heart, and she loves me. We're in love. I do not love Ron Weasley. Ginny is and always in my heart. Ron, I'm sorry, but you just can't give me everything I want."
Love… she thought, and now my love is for Ginny.
Hermione turned and crashed her lips down on Ginny's. She heard the clicks of the cameras. But she didn't care. Ginny returned the kiss with such happiness she could swear she could hear the fireworks and could feel the world spinning.
The broke apart smiling and rested their foreheads against each other's.
Okay! Within the next days that I'm taking a break, but it's only for a few days so I can catch up with friends because I've been so involved with this story lately. Please review.
