Chapter Five

Aftermath

"Harry!" Hermione called, spotting his unruly black hair.

Harry turned and smiled at her, his face falling immediately as he took in her tearstained face and soaked clothes.

"We need to talk," Hermione said and grabbed his hand. After successfully dragging Harry into an empty classroom, she broke down in tears. Unsure what to do, (Harry was never very good with crying girls) he wrapped his arms around her slightly awkwardly and stroked her hair.

Finally, she calmed down and pulled away. "Sorry," Hermione said, noticing the tear stain she'd left on his shirt.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked, his face full of concern and he wiped a stray tear off of her cheek.

Hermione bit her lip. "Fred kissed me."

"WHAT?" Harry exclaimed loudly. Hermione winced and he quieted, "Why? What happened?"

"I was upset over what Malfoy said and comforted me." She was silent for a moment. "I kissed him back, Harry. My boyfriend's brother kissed me and I kissed him back." She looked helplessly at him. Harry had an odd expression on his face.

"Do you have feelings for Fred?" He asked quietly.

"What? No!" Hermione answered too quickly.

"Hermione… I can tell when you're lying," he said calmly.

"I don't know, maybe?" She said, then let out a noise of frustration and buried her head in his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his waist. He rested his chin on top of her head, his arms around her again. "I love Ron, you know I do, but it's different with Fred…" Hermione trailed off, "Merlin, what am I saying?" She looked up at Harry.

"You and Fred do have a sort of spark," he observed.

She laughed, and then frowned, "I'm so ashamed," she moaned.

Harry sighed. "You have to tell Ron."

She bit her lip. "I know."

…

"George," Fred said, coming up to his twin brother.

"What's up Freddie?" George asked.

"I kissed Hermione."

"WHAT?" George shouted.

Fred ran his hands through his hair. "I couldn't help it."

"ARE YOU MAD?" George exclaimed angrily. "That's our brother's girlfriend!"

"I know," Fred said groaning. George looked at his twin.

"Did she kiss you back?"

"Yes."

George sighed. "This is going to kill Ron."

"I know," Fred repeated, anguished.

"Do you have feelings for her?"

"I don't know… Maybe? Yes?"

"You had to fancy Granger," George said, sighing.
