Hermione passed the detention relentlessly slowly. She read the entire chapter given by Professor McGonagall. Of course, she could read more topics, but somehow she didn't feel like it. She preferred to watch Fred. However, she was afraid the boy would catch her doing it. She was still angry with him for what he had said the day before, but realized he was somewhat right. She was able to forgive everyone quickly and tried not to enter into conflicts, only with the Weasley she had a tendency to constant disagreements, about nothing really. She didn't know why their quarrels resulted.
At the same time, the brothers were fooling around cleaning up, so if they had tried harder, they would have been done by a long time. However, they preferred to dance with brushes or apologize to the furniture that they had to wash off the beautiful pink shade. Hermione looked at them occasionally and laughed under her breath. In fact, she found them fun and creative, but it was better for them not to know because their ego was already huge. She'd rather tickle him a little with constant teasing than make him grow. After less than fifteen minutes, a smiling George approached the dark-hair girl. Fred was currently cleaning the sideboard.
He: What do you want, ginger ?!
Ge: Your help, Sun.
He: I won't clean for you! No way! You can not convince me!
Ge: Of course not! It's about something else.
He: Then talk! And get back to work! I don't want to sit here anymore!
Ge: Angelina is having a birthday soon, I am planning a romantic dinner in The Room of Requirement.
He: Oh! That's cute. I didn't know you were such a romantic
Ge: (He said in her ear, which was noticed by Fred who felt an unpleasant punch in his stomach, like jealousy). You see, but I don't have a gift idea for my princess. Will you come with me to Hogsmeade next week and help me choose something?
He: Of course it is!
Ge: Thank you, just don't tell anyone about it. I am begging you, this is supposed to be a surprise.
He: I will be silent as a charm. (George looked at her confused. He didn't quite understand what the girl was talking about). It's a Muggle, saying that means I won't tell anyone.
Overjoyed, George took Hermione in his arms, then began to twist her with joy. He cared a lot about Angelina, so he wanted to impress her. It was the first time he had been in a serious relationship, so he tried to be exemplary. He felt very happy around Johnson. The younger twin swirled with his brown-hair girl on his hands, until at one point he slipped on the wet floor, then fell to the ground with his friend. They both started laughing like stupid. At the sight of laughing friends, Fred pursed his lips into a narrow ruler. He was jealous even though he shouldn't. He knew his brother disliked Granger, but affection controlled him. He wanted to interrupt their antics as soon as possible, which resulted in throwing a wet cloth at his brother.
F: Let's go, Weasley! I don't want to sit here until morning!
Ge: Don't be nervous, I'm cleaning up!
He: I'll help you! (The brothers glanced at her in surprise).
Ge: You don't have to, we give you the punishment.
He: I know, but if I don't help you, you won't be finished by tonight. And I would like to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible.
Hermione started cleaning the benches, humming the Weird Sister's song to herself, which the twins heard. At first, they smiled under their breaths, and after a while they joined the girl. Throughout the dungeons, you could hear their singing. Fred grabbed the girl's hand and began to dance with her, although they were more foolish. They were both very happy and smiling. They had the opportunity to be close to each other again, to feel their presence. Nothing else mattered. George watched them with joy in his eyes. He had never seen so many happy candles dancing in his twin's eyes. He noticed sparks exploding between them. The song slowly ended. Fred spun Hermione a little too tightly. The dark-hair girl fell into the arms of the boy. They stared deeply into each other's eyes, slowly drawing closer to each other. They both had a thousand thoughts at once, but neither wanted to stop it. The younger twin looked at them in surprise with his mouth open. Their lips were almost touching, a few millimeters away, when an angry Snape burst into the classroom, causing the couple to pull away from each other.
S: What a nonsense! You were supposed to clean, not sing!
Ge: Sorry, we're back to work.
S: You have two hours, and if it isn't clean, you will get an additional detention. To work!
Furious, Snape left the room. All three went back to work. Hermione moved far away from Fred, trying not to look at the boy. She couldn't understand what had just happened here. She wanted to kiss him very hard. She couldn't control it. As he looked into her eyes, all her anger evaporated. On the other hand, the redhead's smile did not leave his face. He hadn't expected such a turn of events, that he would have kissed her for sure, if not for Snape. He would taste her lips again, but this time he would remember it. Two hours later, everything was cleaned up. The friends returned to the Gryffindor Tower. Happy brothers sat in their dormitory.
F: What are you so happy about?
Ge: I have my reasons! Will you forbid me ?!
F: No, of course not ... Just ... What happened between you and Hermione today?
Ge: What are you talking about?
F: I've seen you whisper to each other and I don't quite understand why? Moreover, you took it in your arms. Do you like Hermione?
Ge: (He burst out laughing). You forgot we already talked about this. In love, people are stupid, however! I don't like Hermione. She is my friend, she is like a sister to me!
F: What were you talking about today?
Ge: Angelina's birthday is not long! I asked Hermione if she would help me choose a gift for her. I completely don't know about these women's trinkets! I could have asked Ginny, but she would tell Angelina everything. I know Hermione will keep a secret.
F: I'm a moron! I'm sorry brother! I just care more and more about her.
Ge: I noticed what happened between you today was amazing, indescribable. I was out of words, normally. You'd finally kiss her, stupid Snape.
F: I know, it was a great feeling. I've never felt like this, I just don't know what to do now, how to deal with her? Maybe she didn't want this?
Ge: We'll live, we'll see, but you're on the right track, brother, but please don't screw it up again.
F: There is no such possibility. Let's go to the Common Room. We need to talk to Angelina about today's training. We have to work it off.
The twins went to the Common Room. They sat in the chairs opposite Angelina as she was finishing her essay for Professor Flitwick. They start the subject of training, the girl resigned to the stubbornness of brothers, allows them to do it the next week. After a while, Fred notices that Hermione is sleeping in the corner of the room. Tired of today and constantly thinking about the redhead, she fell asleep while doing homework. The boy smiled to himself, then took the blanket lying on the chair and walked towards her. He covered her thoroughly, then gently scooped up a strand of hair that fell over her face. He studied her face all the time. She was so beautiful, he was out of breath. If he could, he would have sat down next to her and cuddled up to the sleeping witch. The second twin and his girlfriend watched this touching situation.
A: He is serious, has he found a new victim?
Ge: This time for real. (He smiled at his beloved).
A: Poor Hermione. I was hoping that with time she would find a new victim, and she would have a quiet life.
Ge: What are you talking about, baby?
A: I don't want to say it because it's your twin and Hermione is my friend.
Ge: After that, you have to tell me! Please honey!
A: All right! I'm just asking you not to be angry with me for what I say.
Ge: I won't, I promise, princess.
A: Half of the girls at Hogwarts have a crush on the two of you. I'm not worried about you because I know you're faithful, but Fred? He changed girls all the time like gloves, and suddenly he would settle down? Now he will be polite because he has a goal of Hermione, who challenges him. He won't be able to pick her up that easily, but what if he succeeds?
Ge: What will it be?
A: Tragedy! All the girls will envy her that Fred chose her. She'll be asked every day when she breaks up with Fred, because now it's her turn to be his girlfriend. Sometimes even several times a day. I am strong, and I can respond, even punch those mean cows sometimes, but Hermione is strong on the outside, and she breaks to pieces very quickly on the inside. You saw what happened when they argued.
Ge: Really, girls ask when are we going to break up? It will be too much for Hermione.
A: Let me finish! Even if he can handle these mean and jealous bitches. I am afraid Fred won't be able to stop himself from flirting and other things with the other girls? After all, the forbidden fruit tastes best. And I doubt your brother is strong enough to say no to another bitch who will still want to get him.
Ge: I find you dramatizing. It won't be too bad, Fred really cares about Hermione. He will do anything to keep them together. Today, they almost kissed! They looked great together.
A: Exactly, that she should be with him. What then, when they're together? Now they look great, and what if there are others on the horizon, ready to do whatever it takes to get Fred Weasley? Are you sure this feeling is real, not because Hermione is not as easy as the others and is a challenge to him? George, I hope I'm wrong and Fred's feelings are sincere, but if I'm right it will destroy Hermione and her feelings. She will break down.
George wanted to say something else, but Fred came back smiling. The couple immediately fell silent, which surprised the twin, but decided not to delve into it. He started to tell jokes and his brother joined him after a while, however all the time he was thinking about his girlfriend's words. Suddenly he remembered the Ravenclaw girl, who had been hitting on his twin for over a month. Only now did he say that she was definitely not the only one. There are probably girls running after him, too, but he didn't notice because he had a sweetheart, but will Fred stop looking at the others as well? What will Hermione do when the other students start teasing her just because she was Fred's girlfriend? After a while, Ginny and Lavender ran over to the Common Room in delight. They were looking for the brown-haired girl. The happy teenagers approached her, not noticing that she was asleep, so they screamed excitedly.
G: HERMIONE! YOU WON'T AGREE WHAT WE KNOW!
