I am REALLY sorry for taking so long to update. I had finished half of the chapter and then I went on a four day vacation to San Felipe, Mexico for four days. And since we were going to drive there, which was a six hour one, we spent the week preparing. I just started high school too! Oh God I was sooooo nervous but it was nice and the seniors aren't mean…yet. lol I love to hear how I'm doing because my cousins read it and I think they're just being nice when they say its good. I welcome constructive criticism like Hagrid does to dragons and such! so here goes the story I hope you like it. Please review!
"What the bloody hell was that all about!" Ron stood there his face red. Harry and Ginny stood next to him, Harry with his mouth slightly open and Ginny beaming.
"Well you see Ronniekins, when a boy and a girl have feelings for each other they go on a date. For that to happen one of them has to ask the other to accompany them. In this case George asked Hermione on a date. Get it?" Fred asked slowly as if explaining to a four year old. Lee Jordan was sniggering in the background along with several other seventh year students.
"I know what George just did! What I mean was why! It's not like you fancy her! You two better not be pranking 'Mione!" Ron bellowed now looking so red that if he got any angrier he would turn purple.
Hermione stood up to face Ron and shot back "First off what kind of nickname is Mione? Are you too lazy to say my full name? Or is your brain as small as your emotional capacity? Second Ronald, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself! And why would it be so surprising that George could fancy me? Why does it have to be a prank?"
"I didn't mean it that way! I just…i don't want to see you get hurt" Ron lowered his voice to say the last part, still red but for a different reason.
Hermione sighed and relaxed her shoulders, no longer in battle stance. She knew Ron did this because he cared but it was still annoying. "I'm a big girl, Ron. I already have two parents, I don't need a third".
"Alright fine! But if you get hurt don't come crying to me" Ron answered.
"Yes, Ron, I'll make sure to steer clear of you while I wallow in self-pity and cry my eyes out. Now, are you finished making a scene?" Hermione said sarcastically.
"Only if you are" Ron said sardonically.
Hermione rolled her eyes and went back to spooning food onto her plate. Ron, Harry and Ginny went to find seats at the other end of the table since everyone had scooted nearer to Hermione and the Twins to get a better view of the drama. Hermione knew for sure that everyone would know the entire fiasco by the next day.
George re-took his seat next to Hermione. While cutting out a good chunk of steak and kidney pie he thought about what Hermione had said. She had basically defended him when she had told Ron off for saying the only reason he had asked her to Hogsmeade was because it was a prank. She believed that he had asked her on a date because he had feelings for her. And now George felt utterly horrible. But he was going to make it up to her. He was going to be the best date ever. And it's not like he didn't feel anything for her. He cared for her. He'd known her for five years. Of course, he only just knew her as that nerdy girl Ron hung out with for two years. But he cared and he would protect her from anything. This thought brought him back the moment when Hermione had kissed him, the way that her lips felt against his. How her hands had found their way into his hair and around his neck. This thought made him want to grab her right then and there and kiss her until they were both breathless and she had that flustered look she had gotten the last time. George knew that he couldn't have felt all that in one kiss and not have feeling for her. Knowing this didn't make him feel as uncomfortable as he thought he would have felt. Hermione was pretty, smart, funny, feisty and strong. She had grown into a very attractive young woman and George couldn't be blamed if he fell for her charms. He was going to use this opportunity to see if maybe there could be more than friendship between himself and Hermione.
