All's Fair In Love And War
Chapter 2: Unusual Friday
Hermione couldn't believe she said yes to Fred. He was Ron's older brother! What the hell were you thinking Hermione? She sat alone in the common room doing her charms essay, she was too tired to write; she felt comfortable too. She was sitting by the window in the huge, comfy armchair. My favorite place to study. I'll just take a quick power nap…
Hermione was walking in Hogsmeade. It was a beautiful day. Am I on the date with Fred? She thought to herself. All of a sudden, the skies became dark and rain came pelting down. Hermione's legs wouldn't let her run, instead she just stood there and let the freezing water slide down her body. All of a sudden someone picked her up, bridal style and they went inside somewhere warm. She wasn't sure if the warmth came from the place or the guy. "It's bloody freezing. Why are you out there?" She realized it was Fred's voice. She wanted to speak but instead she just let Fred wrap her in his jacket. Then she was staring into his beautiful brown eyes; she leaned in to kiss him. But then…
Hermione woke up to the sound of a huge barn owl tapping at the window. Hermione rubbed her eyes and opened the window. The owl swooped in and dropped a small bouquet of white lilies on the ground and left. Hermione picked up the bouquet with a huge smile on her face. She smelt the flowers and read the note attached to it. It was addressed to H.G:
Hermione,
Morning, I know these are your favourite. I'll pick you up at 11am tomorrow.
F.W
Hermione couldn't believe it. Did Fred really have a thing for her? She sat back down in the armchair and conjured up a vase for the flowers. She put the vase back up in her room and she sat on the bed. She got out her note pad and wrote a note back to Fred and headed off to the owlery.
Fred and George were in the Great hall with their best friend Lee Jordan. They were discussing the bet. "So, no feelings attached huh? That's easy for Freddie hard for Hermione."
"Well yeah, shouldn't be too hard right?" Fred was starting to doubt himself. Okay, don't start falling for her. It's only the second day of the bet. Then all at once, a black snowy owl dropped a piece of parchment in front of him. Fred licked his lips and opened the note:
Dear Fred,
Thanks for the lilies. How'd you know? Yeah, 11 sounds good. Good luck in your quidditch match tonight. I'll see you there
H.G
Fred couldn't help but smile, but the smile soon faded as soon as he heard his twin and best friend wolf whistling. "Shut up guys." Fred said through gritted teeth.
"Sending flowers aye? You sure you're not falling for her?" George gave Lee a high five.
"I gotta go." Fred said leaving and burning the note. No Feelings attached, that shouldn't be too hard right?
For the first time in ages, Fred was nervous about a quidditch game. "Doesn't have anything to do with a certain girl does it Freddie?" George said tauntingly. Fred flipped him the finger. "Woah, getting offensive are we? Oh speak of the devil. I'll get down to the pitch." George winked and sped away.
"Hey Hermione!" Fred ran to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Came to watch someone?" He chuckled and Hermione hit him teasingly.
"Good luck. Although, I think you have this in the bag. Just don't get hurt please." Hermione hugged him and felt his toned body.
"Yes ma'am." And he stared back into her eyes.
"ehem?" George came back. Damn it George.
"Perfect timing." Fred said sarcastically.
"What?" George couldn't control his laughter. "It's not my fault that the game is about to start mate."
"I'll see you out there. Play nice." And Fred made that crooked smile which made Hermione blush and melt inside as she walked to the stands; still feeling his eyes on her.
A.N Hey guys, I'm just writing this with no initial plan. Do you guys have any suggestions :)
