Chapter 14 Five Weasley's, One Potter and Miss Granger.
We made our way back towards the house. Bill and Percy entered first and Charlie placed his arm around my waist,
"Ready?" he asked
"Ready."
Smiling he held the door open for me and once inside immediately placed his hand back around my waist. We made our way towards the twins, noting that Bill was talking with Fleur, Angelina and Audrey and Percy with Mr and Mrs Weasley. Once we reached the twins, Charlie kissed my check and handed me over to Fred. In hushed voices we explained what had happened and what our plan was. The twins were on board and Charlie went to get Harry on his own.
Fred placed his arm around me and Georgie slipped his hand in mine. Percy decided that the best revenge for Ron was to make him think he was right, that each man in this room wanted Hermione as much as he clearly did. The girls were on board and the boys were told to be subtle enough to make it look secretive but to make sure Ron could see every interaction.
Fred bent down and whispered in my ear, "We will talk about last night later."
With a quick kiss on my cheek he was gone and I was alone with George.
"So Granger, I hear the plan is to make you all hot and bothered, I would be able to do a much better job if we were alone. Freddie was crazy letting you go last night, if that were me, you would have been crying and screaming for an entirely different reason." George nipped at my ear lobe and winked.
I was beet red. In trying to look anywhere but Georges face I found Ron staring at the exchange between one half of the infamous Weasley twins and myself. Leaning up onto my toes I whispered in George's ear.
"It seems we have an audience, shall we continue this later? I should go find another admirer."
He nodded and kissed my hand. "Later then" raising his voice just loud enough for only Ron to hear.
I walked across the room and began talking to Audrey and Percy about their work in the Ministry. It didn't take too long before Ron had repositioned him close enough to overhear our conversation.
"Audrey darling, why don't you go check if mum needs help in the kitchen, I just need a quick word with Hermione."
"Of course Perc." Giving him a chaste kiss she was gone.
"Thank you for the other week, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there."
I raised my eyebrow but played along, "it was no trouble Perc, really, and I rather enjoyed it. Shame we have to stop, if Audrey found out, well."
"I guess we will have to be more careful then." He leaned in like he was going to kiss me and there was a light cough which broke apart our exchange. Bill was standing between us now.
"Dinner is ready, come Mia, you can sit next to me." Taking me by the hand he pulled me towards the table outside.
"Do you think its working?" I asked trying not to look back.
"Oh, it's working; he has just headed for Lavender looking rather annoyed. You and Percy were very convincing by the way; lucky someone was there to stop it." He shot me a wink and pulled out my chair for me.
"I had a plan." I smiled back at him.
Fred sat across from us and Ron to no one's surprise decided to sit on the other side of me. Lavender looked less than impressed but took her spot next to him.
We ate dinner making idle chit chat. It was a rather pleasant meal despite Lavender attempting to make it about her. I was lost in my own world when Bill placed his hand on my thigh. Choking on my drink I tried to regain my composure. What was he playing at, I gave him a slight glance and he winked leaning across to whisper in my ear.
"He's watching, just act natural, I already cleared this."
I blushed and nodded my head, looking forward at Fred who just smiled at me knowingly. Slowly Bill began to trace lines up and down my inner thigh, making sure to stop before he went too high, feeling rather adventurous I slid my hand under the table and placed it on his leg. Bill was clearly unprepared for this action and quickly regained his composure. Ron must have seen the exchange as he pushed his chair away from the table and rose.
"I've lost my appetite." And stormed away, Lavender following shortly after.
"Well this is going well!" Angelina laughed. "Gosh Hermione, such a man stealer."
The table burst out laughing
"So who is left?" Fred asked
"Just me, officially I think. Unless Mr Weasley would care to join in on our game?"
"I think I shall decline on this one occasion Harry. But a warning to all of you, if I find out even one of you has gone too far in this joke, you will be punished."
Molly giggled to herself at her husband's antics but you could see the seriousness in both their eyes when it came to Hermione feeling comfortable.
"I'm looking at you Charles Weasley!" said Molly and George began to laugh, "You to George."
"Yes mum" they both replied trying to compose themselves.
When dinner was done we all made our way to the sitting room. Harry pulled me aside to the kitchen. He wanted to catch up and make sure I was actually okay after Ron's outburst at the beginning of the night.
"No one thinks bad of you wanting to see Fred, I wish Dean had kept his mouth shut about taking you there, I know he didn't mean any harm but still, you know how Ron gets."
"Nothing even happened, I came home." I blushed too embarrassed to tell Harry the full story.
There was a creak in the floor and the mood changed.
"Something may not have happened last night but it can tonight if you want." Harry snaked his arm around me pulling me flush against him.
"Harry, I, I don't know what to say, I thought you saw me like a sister." I pushed against him playfully, trying with all my might not to laugh at how completely wrong this felt.
"Now if I thought of you like a sister would I want to see you in nothing but my jersey? Would I do this?" at the moment he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he placed me down on the kitchen bench.
"HERMIONE!" Ron squealed. "A word please."
Harry stepped away from me with a reassuring look as Ron shot daggers at him. Remaining on the bench I kicked my legs softly attempting to look nonchalant.
"Yes Ronald?"
"What the bloody hell are you playing at?"
"I don't know what you are talking about Ronald, Harry and I are like siblings, we were merely messing around."
He crossed the room to stand in front of me.
"Why is it you seem to be interested in everyone but me? Hell even Percy seems to get you all hot and bothered."
"Honestly Ronald, you're acting like a child. The only person I have any interest in is Fred. Now if you will excuse me, Audrey said she has a surprise for everyone."
I pushed myself off the bench and made my way past him. I thought I was home free before he grabbed my hand.
"I love you, you know that. It's always been you, not Lavender, not Pansy," I shuddered at the memory of seeing him and Pansy hook up after my rejection at the battle. "It's you. It always will be, I will not stop fighting till you say I do."
Pulling my hand from his, I reached the door frame, "You're wasting your time."
With that I went and sat on the couch between Fred and Charlie. Resting my feet in Charlies lap I watched as Audrey and Percy stood at the front of the room with her hands behind her back.
"Now, I have a special treat for all of you" Audrey was grinning almost evilly as she revealed her hands.
Angelina's eyes widened "Oh.."
"No…" I finished equally as frightened.
There in Audrey's hand was a video camera.
"Oh dear we are in trouble."
