Chapter 54
Bill and Fred were visiting one day when Hermione came home. She was ducking her head and mumbling. When George finally got her to look up, he gasped, which brought Bill and Fred's attention to her.
Hermione's left eye was black and she had a split lip. "What the hell happened?" She wasn't particularly clumsy, so something had to have happened.
"I told you that Ron had been sucking up to me, in hopes of gaining a date, according to Parvarti. Well, he finally asked me outright why I wouldn't say yes. When I told him that I was already married, he flipped his lid and asked who to. He knew it wasn't Harry, as he and Sue are finally on their honeymoon. I told him you. He lost the plot.
Next thing I know, I'm on the floor, clutching my eye and bleeding from the lip. He was standing over me, with crazy eyes. He told me that I was supposed to be his, not his brother's slut and then he spit on me."
Bill and Fred take ahold of George. "You can't do anything, little brother. You know that Mum will believe him over both of you."
Hermione chimes in. "Don't worry about that. I reported it to the Headmistress and Amelia. Madam Pomphrey had some good news to tell me though." She adds, waiting for them to ask her.
George wraps his arms around her. "What, Baby?"
"Just that." Hermione grins and waits while his mind catches up with her statement. He is spinning her around in no time. The other two congratulate them and go to spread the good news.
A month later, Bill and Fleur and Harry and Sue have their own news to yell about.
