More story!

-------------------

As Hermione flew out of the room,all facesturned to look at the fuming redhead in the middle of the room.

Ron continued to stare at the spot where Hermione had just been standing as if she was still there, his ears and face bright red. He glared at the spot as if it were shouting obscenties at him,then turned on his heel and stormed off into the kitchen, Harry following after him.

Fred and George watched as their sister ran off through the house in the direction Hermione had run, the amused looks on their faces having long since dissloved.

"Hermione sure looked upset by what Ron said to her..." George said to Fred, looking at his twin, worry showing on his face.

"That's because Ron acted like a total git," Fred replied.

"Do you think she's okay?" George asked, looking off toward where Hermione had fled.

"I'm sure Hermione's fine, Ginny went after her," Fred answered. But the worry on his brother's face was now beginning to reflect on his own. Both were now looking down the hall where Hermione had gone. "But..."

"...maybe we should check?" George finished.

"Just in case," Fred responded.

Both headed down the hallway where Hermione had disappeared, listening for their brother's friend and cautiously knocking and opening the various doors when they heard nothing to check to see if she was inside. The first couple of rooms they checked were empty, but as they progressed down the hall, Fred paused. "George, listen. Do you here that?"

George titled his head and stood silently, listening of the sound his brother seemed to be able to hear. At first, he heard nothing, but then, as he strained his ears, he could just make out a a low sound coming from the door at the end of the hall, which led into Ginny's room. "Yeah," he affirmed, nodding at his twin. "Suppose that's her?"

"Only one way to find out..." Fred pointed out. George nodded again and the two of them made their way towards the door as silently as they could. They weren't worrying about being seen, as the door was closed, and as far as they knew, Hermione had not cast any spells on herself recently to enable herself to see through solid that they would not be discovered, both boys stood on eather side on the door frame and listened.

Through the door they could hear two voices. One was definitely Ginny's, the twins knew that for having lived with her for so long. The other voice, which was feminine as well, and making what sounded like very angry threats, they figured was Hermione's. Fred and George couldn't distinguish much that was being said at first, but from the enraged tones coming from what they assumed to be Hermione, and the agreeing sounds that Ginny followed Hermione's rants with, the twins figured they were talking about the outburst they had caused Ron to make.

After a few minutes of listening they were able to distinguish what was begin said. Hermione was ranting about what a jerk Ron was, and how she couldn't understand why he hated her friendship with Viktor so much. Ginny seemed to be listening attentively for the most part, adding helpful comments now and then about what an idiot Ron was.

"Doesn't sound like she's any madder at Ron than usual," George whispered. Fred nodded. "I guess we didn't cause any irreversable harm then."

"I agree," George nodded. "Let's wait a moment longer and than go before-"

George was interrupted as a noise from inside of the room startled them. After a moment of listening, the twins distinguished the sound and looked at each other in shock. "George..." Fred began, as the sound grew louder. "Is she...crying?"

As much as eather hated to admited, the sound coming from the room was indeed crying.

"I just...don't understand him Ginny," they heard her sob. "Why does he always have to attack me whenever...when I do something that HE doesn't approve of! I-I, I just don't get it!"

"Ron...isn't exactly the most considerate with people's feelings," Ginny explained, attempting to comfort her friend. "He didn't mean it Hermione, he'd never want to hurt you."

"But why does he always have to be so mean about it? He's acting like I betrayed him!"

"Hermione, Ron only acts that way, well-to be honest I'm not exactly sure why he acts like that," they heard Ginny respond. "He's just a big prat sometimes."

As they continued to listen, Hermione seemed to attempting to control her sobs, which raised the twin's hopes that she might be feeling better. "I just wish..." she sniffed. "I just wish Ron...-oh!" Hermione's speech was interrupted as tears overcame her again, louder and more distraught then before.

As they listened to Hermione's sobs, Fred and George turned and looked at each other guiltily. Though they had wanted to cause Ron to make a git of himself, but they hadn't wanted things to turn out like this. Sure, they wanted to watch Ron overreact. Sure they had wanted Ron to make a royal ass of himself in front of the woman he loved. Sure they had wanted Ron to embarass himself royallyin front of a fairly large group of people. But they hadn't ment to cause him to act so horrible made Hermione cry.

Sighing in unision, both knew what they had to do to make things right.

"George?"

"Yes Fred?"

"Where did Ron run off to again?"

Sorry this chapter wasn't very long and was lacking in humor. Seriousness is much harder to write then fun things. Sigh...I had to struggle to restrain myself from writting funner things for Fred and George to say. Next chapter though, I get to go crazy so it should be up hopefully pretty soon!
