In the evening, Hermione waited for her friend in her room. She wondered why Ginny was upset. She knew the girl and knew that such behavior foretold some revolution. A smiling teenage girl entered the room with a large box in her hand.
He: Ginny, what is this? (She asked surprised)
G: This is our new friend ... COSMETICS!
He: What do we need them for?
G: We will learn to do makeup!
He: I don't need it. You know, I hate looking like those empty dolls the twins sleep with!
G: And you won't! She does not want to turn us into bitches, but only gently emphasize our beauty.
He: What do you mean?
G: Jesus, I want to hide the dark circles under the eyes, any imperfections, emphasize the eyelashes and add lipstick on the lips. Hermione, I will be taking the OWLs. And you will be preparing for the NEWTs, it's time to change something in our lives. We're almost grown up! This is the best time to grab the bull by the horns and... (She broke off her sentence for the moment)
He: Find a boyfriend?
G: I wanted to say that we have to be more self-confident and show the world our unique beauty, but a boy would be a nice addition.
He: Okay, I agree! You're right, I need some changes. Tell me, just where do you get so many cosmetics?
G: From Angelina! (She said gladly).
All evening, the girls learned to apply light makeup. They had a lot of fun doing it. They were terrible at first, but kept getting better as time went on. Girls even managed to use eyeliner.
At one point, when they were dancing and singing to the latest song of The Weird Sisters. Hermione decided to take the risk and ask what was bothering the Gryffindor girl. They were having a great time, but she knew cosmetics weren't their main topic of conversation. Ginny was thoughtful and absent at times.
He: So what's his name?
G: I don't understand what you mean ... (She says, embarrassed)
He: Don't pretend! I know that you want to please someone. You were very nervous this morning
G: Gee! But you are stubborn!
He: Come on!
G: It's about Harry. We've known each other for over five years and nothing. I'm sick of giving him gentle signals. I'm going to pick him up.
He: Wow! Ginevra! I am shocked by your behavior.
G: You know, I don't like my name! (She said bad)
He: Forgive me, dear...
G: I forgive you. Who do you like? Ron? Lee? Or maybe one of the twins? Come on, tell me! Please!
He: Ginny! Nobody! Currently, I want to take up science, because of the war I didn't have time for education. I have to deal with my future.
G: I don't believe you, but in the end you will want to talk about him, then know that I will be waiting for you with a butterbeer.
Hermione shrugged. She wanted to end the conversation about her crush as soon as possible. It was obvious that she couldn't admit to Ginny her feelings for her brother. She shouldn't have known that she ever thought of Fred. The biggest hunk and seducer in school. The Gryffindor boy had been in her head from the moment he threw it into the water. On the one hand, she hated him for what he had done, and on the other hand, he intrigued her greatly.
The girls went to bed very late, almost fell asleep for breakfast. When all eyes entered the kitchen, all eyes were fixed on them. They looked very nice and fresh. They were painted gently, but clearly emphasized their beauty. Ginny wore a short white jumpsuit with pink butterflies, while Hermione wore short denim shorts and a lace blouse.
M.W: Merlin! Girls! Are you guys planning to go to any party?
G: No mom! We are just almost grown up, and we want to look mature!
R: Will you dress up like that every day?
G: That's the plan.
H: You look nice, Ginny. (Is smiling)
G: Thank you! (She winked at him and blushed.)
Ginny's transformation added confidence and aggressiveness, which cannot be said about Hermione. The young girl felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to eat breakfast and leave the kitchen. She planned not to leave the room until the end of the day. Brown haired girl wished no one saw her dressed like that. She could feel the eyes of the boys on her, especially Fred, who couldn't take his eyes off her. Unfortunately, after the meal was over, Molly ruined everyone's plans.
M.W: Today, like every month, we will be cleaning the Burrow. Your father and I must go to the Ministry of Magic, so this task will rest on yours shoulders.
F: Mom, I have plans for today!
M.W: Fred, your plan for today is cleaning up!
Fred snorted in displeasure. He made an appointment with Alicia Spinet for a short adventure, unfortunately he had to postpone it. Which he was very dissatisfied with, as his male libido was just reaching its zenith
R: Mom, what are we supposed to do?
M.W: Great question, Ronald! You will clean the attic, Ginny will take care of the kitchen and living room, Harry will brush the garden, George will clean the tool shed and Fred will mow the grass. Your father has brought a Muggle device from the ministry to help you shorten the grass quickly.
He: I'm sorry, Mrs. Weasley, and what am I supposed to do?
M.W: Nothing, darling. You should rest after the experiences my son gave you (She glared at Fred)
He: I feel good, and I am willing to do something. Maybe I can help George clean the workshop?
Ge: Sure, if you want! We will have a great time!
M.W: If so, good. Help George, I'm just begging you, don't hurt yourselves. I'm talking to everyone now! I have to go, your father is waiting for me at the Ministry. See you at dinner!
With her last words, the mother of the siblings teleported away. Listening to the conversation between his brother and Gryffindor, Fred became furious. He couldn't stand that Hermione wanted to help his clone! What was so special about George that they were identical? Yes, Fred was jealous of Hermione, but he didn't know why? He tried to hide the feeling, but he couldn't. He got up angry from the table and left the house. Redhead started mowing the grass. The rest of the household followed suit and began carrying out the tasks assigned by Mrs. Weasley.
Hours later, everyone was almost done with their chores. Fred was about to hide the mower in the shed, when he heard George talking to Hermione, he decided to overhear it. Sam didn't know what was driving him, he just wanted to be aware of what they were talking about.
Ge: Great job, Granger! We are finally free! I thought you might want to help Ginny, not me. (Smile at her)
He: Thanks Weasley! I wanted to talk to you about what happened. I did not manage to thank you for saving my life. Thank you for getting me out of the water when I ... (She paused in mid-sentence as she had run out of words)
Ge: Hey! Sun, smile. Anyone would do the same in my position. (He hugged Hermione, who nestled against him) You really have nothing to thank me for. You are like a sister to me, and my family is defending itself against evil!
He: Then explain to me why Fred threw me in the water? It was almost four meters deep there, he knew I couldn't swim!
Ge: I can't, answer this question for you. You have to ask him, but he assures you it won't happen again. I will take care of it!
He: Thank you, George! You're the best! I don't know what I would do without you!
Ge: You would have died miserably. I was just about to tell you that you look beautiful today.
He: Thank you. (She smiled sincerely) Come on, let's help Ginny with dinner.
Ge: I'm running pretty!
They left the room together and started walking towards the house. They did not notice the redhead hiding furiously in the bushes growing by the shed. He heard the whole conversation. He was furious with George. All the time, he had a picture in his mind of his twin hugging her, and she was hugging him. He was so nice and sweet to her. Fred should be nice, protect her, not his clone! He screwed up, but didn't know how to apologize. He stated that once he apologized, it didn't have to anymore. Gryffindor boy is not going to explain to anyone what he has done. Lots of emotions tugged at him at that moment. It's hard to judge which feeling was dominant because he was angry, jealous and depressed at the same time. He did not come home for dinner, he went to Alice, with whom he spent an exhilarating afternoon. It allowed him to forget about the whole situation and Hermione, if only for a moment.
