Hermione couldn't say no to someone who is supposedly her friend.
"Sure Frank... umm wait Butter beer? What is Butter beer?" she asked as they made their way through the crowded bar, marveling at the strange people in robes.
"First, my name is Fred... Fred, and second, Butter beer is one of the best things to drink here in the wizarding world next to Fire Whiskey of course." Fred explained got to Butter beers and sat down at an empty table in the corner.
"OK so what would you like me to tell you or explain?" as he handed Hermione a drink.
"Wait wizarding world there is no such thing Fred." she said in a certain tone and took a sip of her drink and look liked she was in heaven and took a bigger sip.
"Hate to break it to you, Mione, but there is such a thing. You before you disappeared were one of the smartest witches of the century. Your best mate Harry Potter is the boy-who-lived and the man-who-saved-the-world. Your other best mate, my brother, Ron Weasley is one of the worlds best keepers. He plays quidditch which is somewhat like Muggle soccer only on brooms. Your best girl friend, my sister, Ginny has been going out with Harry since the Final Battle ended and are now engaged." Fred finished looking pleased with himself that he remembered all the information. "Any questions?"
"Yea how did I meet my best mates? What does Muggle mean? You mentioned some Final Battle who was all in it; I'm guessing Harry was because of his nickname." she laughed slightly. "Tell me more about myself. Like am I single, what I did before I went missing and into a coma. Things like that." She took another sip of her drink and smiled at Fred.
'God I forgot how beautiful that smile was' Fred thought but shook his head rid of that thought.
"Well you, Harry and Ron were always close in Hogwarts, the Wizarding School we all intended, so close you guys were named 'The Golden Trio'. Harry and Ron always got in trouble and you were always there to try and help them out of it. Your nose was almost always found in a book or studying so of course you were a Prefect and Head Girl. You and Harry would spend most of the summer at the Burrow, my family's house, and that is where you met Ginny, a year younger than you, and you girls hit it off. A Muggle is just what us wizards and witched call non-magical people. The Final Battle was... How do I make this simple and easy to explain. Before Harry was born there was this wizard named Lord Voldemort who went bad and started to kill all who didn't agree with him, he was unstoppable. Then this psychic made a prophecy that a child would be born that had powers to take destroy him. They would either die together or one would be killed. The child was Harry so when Voldemort heard this he set out to find him and kill him. Voldemort found where his family was hiding and killed his parents but for some reason could not kill Harry. When he tried he only hurt himself. Then when you guys were in the 4th school year he rose up again. He quickly rose to power and when you guys all turned of age you guys joined a secret order created to stop him. The Final Battle was June 17, 1999 it lasted for hours but finally Harry destroyed Voldemort. He has never really talked about it though. We lost many people from the order. So yea that is all you wanted to know. I hope I helped you remember anything." he said hopefully and showed a half smile.
"Well it sort of triggered something. It feels familiar but I really can't remember it. You did answer most of my questions and thank you. Well I'm sure its late I don't want to keep you any more than I have already. Umm Do you know where there is a wizard hotel or housing place I can stay at?" she asked with a funny expression on her face as she drank the last of her Butter beer.
"Yea there is one... Wait why don't you just stay at my flat it is much closer and everything." Fred suggested
"Umm Well I don't know..." Hermione hesitated
"Oh no not like that, come on Mione. I have a guest bedroom accompanied with a guest bathroom, so you don't even have to see this ugly mug in the morning." laughed Fred.
"OK, since I don't have any where else to go right now. Lead the way." she smiled and held out her hand for Fred to take and show her the way.
Fred took her hand in his and started out The Leaky Cauldron. After a couple of minutes walking down the streets Fred started having an argument with himself.
'You need to tell her mate.'
'Yes but do I have to right now I like it just being us.'
'The sooner she knows the better she will react, you know Mione if you wait to long she will hex you until you are in St. Mungo's.'
'sighs Yes Yes your right I will tell her soon. I promise'
"Fred, are you alright? Do you need to sit down?" Hermione asked worried. Fred had a frustrated yet sad expression on his face and she didn't know what had caused it.
"If you have changed your mind about me staying the night over your house it is OK. Really I don't mind I can just go check into a hotel or something." she suggested really hoping that was not the case because something about Fred made her feel safe and secure.
"What! No Mione that's not it... don't worry it's really nothing. Of course I haven't changed my mind about you staying the night, don't be crazy. As a matter of fact, here is the building that my flat is in anyway." Fred said and opened the building door for her and directed her onto the elevator.
Hermione was very happy to hear she could still stay at his flat but she was surprised Fred would be living in a 'Muggle' building.
"Fred, this is a Muggle building. If you don't mind me asking why do you live here? I just thought you would live in a wizarding community." she asked.
"Oh well I do have a flat above my brothers and mine shop that I share with him, but I bought this flat for anytime I need to get away temporarily from anything. Like my brother for instance, he is a great guy and all but he has his girlfriend Amy over a lot and I really don't feel like being around that all the time, if you get what I'm saying." Fred laughed slightly.
"Oh well I can understand that, I guess. Your brother I thought you said Ron was a quidditch player. How can he run a shop with you and be one of the world's greatest player at the same time?" Hermione asked as the elevator door opened on Fred's level and she followed Fred out and stopped in front of flat number 605.
"Oh no I have many brothers. Five to be exact; Bill, Charlie, Percy, George (my twin), and Ron. George and I run a jokes and prank shop in Hogsmead called Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. We have run it since we were seventeen." Fred explained as he took out a key and opened the door and let Hermione walk in first. He turned on the light switch and saw the look on her face. Hermione was in the middle of the living room with her mouth wide open. Fred smirked and walked over to her and reached his hand up to her chin and shut her mouth for her.
"Yea I know really something ain't it."
The room was off-white had many black and white shots of the city and places in the world. The love seat and couch were black leather and the coffee table was brown along the edges and black in the center. There was a platinum big screen T.V hooked onto the wall, a fire place next to the T.V and even a bookshelf.
"Y-yea it really is. It's a great place you have here. I really like it. Umm do you mind showing me the guest room? Not to be rude it's just that I am really tired." Hermione had a lopsided smile and looked around.
"Yea sure the guest room is down the hallway and door on the left. My room is in the same hallway but on the right if you need anything just let me know. OK?" Fred replied and pointed down the hall and went over to the book case and took out a book and sat down on the love seat and started to read. Hermione thanked him and went into her room and fell asleep after ten minutes not knowing what the next day would behold.
