Well, remember to review :) and again if there's a BETA out there who would like to edit my story feel free to mention it! ;)
Fred had woken up to a small jab at his ribcage. His eyes flew open and saw Hermione sprawled over him.
"Hermione. Hermione? Hermione!" Nothing, not even a stir.
He shook her shoulders a little and still nothing. He then slowly place a small kiss on her forehead and suddenly she was up. Of course that would wake her up.
"Morning, Fred. Sleep well?" Fred smiled.
"I did indeed. But darling, I have to use the loo and your currently on top of me.
Hermione rolled over and Fred hurried to the washroom. Meanwhile Hermione gathered her things and strolled over to a hallway washroom and brushed her teeth and hopped in the shower. She dressed in a short white tube dress fastened with a wide leather belt and red flats. Her long hair was half up and curled. She was currently applying mascara to her large chocolate eyes when she heard a knock at the door.
"Fred can you get that?
"Sorry 'Mione I'm in the shower!" Hermione quickly dashed to the door. She opened it and shock overwhelmed her. He honestly had the nerve to come to her home? That was utterly insane on his part.
"Mione. Aren't you going to let me in?" Hermione scoffed.
"Come in Ronald." The tall redhead went passed her and made his way into the kitchen. He grabbed an apple and took a big bite out of it. He pulled a chair out and sat on it legs stretched all the way out. He has one hand behind his head and in the other he was holding his apple.
"Ronald, what do you want?"
"I wanted to see you. You can't possibly be mad at me for that love."
"Don't call me loved that ship sailed." Anger adorned his features. He was handsome, yes. She couldn't deny it. But he was cold. He was selfish. He was almost hateful.
"That ship is NEVER going to sail. I don't care what you say. We are meant to be."
"You broke up with me Ronald! You humiliated me! How can you possibly say that and argue your completely sane! That's ridiculous."
"I didn't break up with you. I merely wanted to enjoy my youth."
"You told me to get lost cause you wanted to bed Hannah Abbot! In front of everyone at the train station! How was I suppose to take that?"
"Hermione, I told you I wasn't ready to be tied down. Besides I went to Spain to bring you back home plenty of times. But you were too silly to come back. Now that your back I expect for you to be back at my side. Here." He threw a beautiful Tri-Colored gold band with a princess cut diamond on it. It was defiantly eye candy and it looked very expensive.
"What's that suppose to be?"
"You can't possibly be that daft Hermione please. It's a engagement band. Wear it I'll announce our engagement tomorrow morning in the Daily Profit." Hermione's shock couldn't wear off. Is he serious?
"Are you serious?" He took her shoulders.
"Of course I am, Hermione. We're suppose to be together. Everyone expects it." Hermione fought the urge to cry. Her anger building up so suddenly that it caught her by surprise.
"Take your ruddy ring! Take it! I want you out of my life Ronald Weasley. I don't care who expects us to be together I refuse to share my life with and incompetent buffoon! Leave me alone! You hurt me well enough!"
"Are you still upset about Hannah? Or the other thing Hermione."
"You cold, heartless jerk! You knew I was carrying your child!"
"I told you to fix it Hermione! I offered to pay! I don't know what else you wanted me to do!"
"Take care of your child Ronald! To be a man and to step up and honor what we had by taking care of your child!" Ron rolled his eyes.
"I told you woman that I don't want children. I wasn't just going to change me mind just because you wanted me to." He picked up the band and placed it in his pocket. "I just hope you come into all your senses and realize we're suppose to be together. Oh and I'm glad you took my advise and fixed the little problem." Hermione shook with anger.
"I had a miscarriage you insensitive brut!"
"Things like that happen. Its natural." Steps could be heard coming down the hall. Both ended their conversation. Fred appeared in the kitchen soon enough.
"Hey Ron! What are you doing here so early?"
"Came by to visit Hermione but it seems she's upset I didn't come sooner. Women." Fred's face changed completely. Why would she be so upset that Ron didn't come to visit her earlier? "Million galleon question is why are you here Fred? I didn't know you and Hermione were so chummy."
"I live with her Ron. We're flatmates."
"Well I didn't know that. Harry neglected to mention that." Ron seemed to be losing interest quick. "Well I'm on my way. The new aurors are on their way back from Fiji and I want to see their progress. I'll let myself out." Ron left and Fred prepared himself some coffee.
"We better start heading into the store Hermione lets go." Fred left without as so much as waiting for Hermione. Once they got to the store he pointed to the register and Hermione began working. Soon George came in and Fred excused himself to the back, saying he was going to try to finish some of the products he had, up until, neglected. Their lunch hour rolled around and Hermione asked if he would like to go with her to get something to eat to which he promptly said "No." She tried again asking if he would like her to bring him something back to which he again mumbled "No." Hermione fed up with the progress of her day decided to take her break in their flat. She went to her bed and hugged a random pillow. She inhaled and the scent of Fred was currently enticing her mind. It was bad enough that Ron had stopped by to ruin her morning but now Fred was mad too. Which was another mystery. Why was he so upset with her? Did she do something? He was ok while Ron was there but she didn't do anything different to make him upset. He was already mad at her before Ron made his exit. What was wrong? She couldn't take it. She took a headache potion and waited ten minutes. She then made herself a strong cup of Columbian coffee. She returned to the store once more and quickly began to take customers. The day dragged on painfully slow. Once it was finally over and done with Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and sat on a near by stool. While she was counting the money in her register to give the twins the ingress for the day she was approached by George.
"Hermione Fred tells me your opening up the new hospital?"
"Yea I am George. Meanwhile I'm stuck here working."
"Well, I was thinking that since so many people complain about our products being harmful to our customers, I thought that it'd be a good idea to dedicate a wing to our customers. You know take responsibility of some sorts."
"That's a great idea George! Your more then welcome to have a wing! I actually have a meeting with the contractors and everything Tomorrow morning if you'd like to come and start filing the paperwork necessary."
"Really Hermione? This fast? I don't know how to thank you."
"George really. Don't worry about it." Hermione stood gave George a quick peck on the cheek and went home. When she arrived Fred was in the kitchen sitting down glaring at a piece of toast.
"Fred, what did I do? Why are you so upset with me?" Fred's glare moved from the piece of toast to Hermione.
"Are you planning on getting back together with Ron, Hermione? Tell me the truth?"
"Fred of course I'm not getting back together with Ron! I wouldn't even consider it! What gave you that idea?"
"Well he said you got mad cause he didn't visit you earlier and well you looked like you wanted to cry. I don't know Hermione. Please don't toy with my emotions right now. I'm still hurting. Having you here is helping a lot. I don't want to lose you Hermione. I know I'm not being fair to you either. I'm not offering you the relationship you deserve. I just don't know what to do anymore." Fred walked past Hermione to a near by closet. He took out his broom and opened the patio door and flew away. Hermione had decided she had had enough for one day and retired to her room. She changed into her pajamas and climbed into her bed. She fell asleep within minutes.
Later in the night she felt Fred climb into bed with her wrap his arms around her and kiss her neck.
"Good night Hermione" Hermione smiled in her sleep and mumbled a very soft "Goodnight Fred" into her pillow.
