Last Chapter
"Oh Sevvy!! You dressed up for me!" Madam Pomfrey ran in, a look of joy on her face and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. She was wearing a white dress with blue polka-dots and blue heels.
It took all Hermione had not to gag at the sight. She felt George lean closer to her and he whispered something out of the corner of his mouth.
"I have a feeling that this means my theory isn't true."
The scene that was laid out before McGonagall was completely surreal. Severus Snape was being showered in kisses that were undoubtedly inappropriate by none other than Poppy in front of Hermione Granger who could catch flies with her gaping mouth and what looked like a disappointed George Weasley.
"What in heaven's name is going on here?!" Minerva shouted.
All at once Snape turned an interesting shade red, his usual cool lost in the wave of embarrassment that washed over him. Madam Pomfrey, who had been unaware that there were students in the room, yelped and to cover up her bosom which seemed to be struggling for escape in the revealing blue-dotted dress. Hermione couldn't help but also turn red at the situation she was currently in and George, well he was busy trying to extricate the thought of Pomfrey being attractive that had entered his mind at the sight of her.
"Professor Snape this behavior is completely inexcusable, especially in front of students! And Madam Pomfrey! I expected better judgment than to parade around in such attire on school grounds" McGonagall used the voice and stance usually saved for admonishing students.
Hermione looked down at a crack on the stone floor which ran parallel against her right foot and George watched the conversation before him with great amusement, wishing he had some Bertie Botts to enjoy with it.
"I suggest you finished getting dressed Severus", McGonagall said in a tone that did not suggest, "Poppy, I will discuss this with you and Severus when you return from your outing. And you two, you seem to have served your detention beyond what was deserved. Your poor, innocent eyes"
Did she just shudder? Hermione thought.
You may leave and enjoy Hogsmeade. Please stay out of trouble" she said in a wary voice.
"Thanks Minnie!" George exclaimed, grabbing Hermione's arm and running off before McGonagall could tell him off for using the hated nickname.
"I don't think I'll ever recover! I may actually need therapy!" Hermione said loudly once they rounded the corner.
"I'll never forgive myself for not having a camera. Forge will never believe it!" George said the disappointed look on his face again.
"I don't I even believe it. I mean Madam Pomfrey snogging Snape?!" she yelled with disgust causing passing first years to jump and stare at her with eyes concerned for her sanity.
Both turned to look at each other and took in the other's horrified face and not unlike earlier burst into peals of laughter. The laughter became persistent and stayed hearty. So much so that they could no longer walk and had to lean against the stone wall nearly knocking over a knight and a portrait, whose protests were buried under laughter.
"He-he act-actually tri-tried tried to fix hi-his haiiirr!" George managed through his laughter. The statement caused Hermione to fall deeper onto the floor and, if possible laugh, harder.
"Pomfrey's fa-ace whe-when she real-reali realized we were in th-the room!" she yelled out in raucous laughter.
Once again the looked at one another and laughed more. The laughs began to die down and they began their walk to the Gryffindor tower when George remembered McGonagall's face on entering the room and he began to laugh more. Hermione laughed at George's laughter. George laughed at the thought of them only laughing because they had not been able to stop laughing.
This time not only did first years think the two crazy but all years of every house. Some smiled at the pair while others tip toed around them praying to Merlin they wouldn't be attacked.
"Stop- stop. I ha-have to-to pee. Merlin help me." Hermione managed to calm herself into chuckles. George, ever the gentleman, also gathered himself and only had laughter escaping him at random moments.
They made their way to the portrait of the Fat Lady and blurted the password.
Hermione ran up the stairs to the girls dormitories and relieved herself, while George walked to up his dormitory to change into better clothes for the trip to Hogsmeade.
With luck, they both descended the stair at the same time and smiled at each other. Both had changed into clothing more suitable for a first date.
At the thought of this being their first date George figured he should be a tad more romantic and conjured a rose with a flick of his wand. He handed it to Hermione.
"Oh George! You're so cliché" she said but none-the-less threw caution to the wind and kissed him.
They pulled apart and walked toward the portrait to make their way to the village, holding hands.
He scoffed at the sight before him. It was enough to make him sick. He had never been someone malevolent, but this time his jealousy was crossing the line and he was allowing it. George knew he had liked Hermione but did he care? He guessed not if he had the stones to ask her out not only in front of the entire school but him too.
As he sat in the chair closest to the fireplace and watched the couple walk by not even realizing they were being watched he vowed to get her. After all, had he not been the one pining for her all this time? George had betrayed his trust. The portrait door closed as they left and he swiftly got up and left to find a date to get his mind off her for a while.
They reached village grounds and Hermione and George were beaming. His arm had found its way around her waist and hers around his.
"Oh I need some new quills and ink. Oh and parchment, those essays from Snape have nearly cleared me out. Oh! And I can't forget to get some-" Hermione was effectively silenced by George, who had placed his palm over her mouth.
"As adorable as your rambling is, don't you think you need to breathe between sentences, love?" he said with a lopsided grin.
Hermione chuckled under his hand and nodded. He removed his hand and pecked her lips. Hermione placed her hands on either side of his face and held him there, deepening the kiss. She couldn't help but yet again wonder where her cautious nature had gone. This thought left her mind and soon as it came when George rested his hands on her waist and squeezed.
"Oi! Why don't you two get a room! We just got here and we don't want to go blind!"
The pair broke apart to find Ron standing behind them with a girl neither knew holding her hand. He sneered and continued his walk into the busy village.
George saw the crestfallen look that overcame Hermione's face and felt his own heart ache.
"Hey", he said softly. Hermione's gaze fell on him, worry still in her eyes.
"He'll come around. It just takes the git longer than us normal people." George whispered, smiling.
Hermione smiled at his sweetness and whispered to him a "thanks".
"Now, we must go on! You, my sweet, informed me that you were in desperate need of quills!" George exclaimed tugging Hermione on deeper into the crowd in the direction of Flourish and Blotts. Hermione giggled and allowed herself to be engulfed in the happiness George radiated.
And there you go. ^_^ I hope it wasn't terrible; I'm sleepy and have an extreme headache. IF there are any grammatical mistakes please excuse me, my beta very responsibly did not answer my text to edit and I'm just too excited to wait. I forgot how wonderful it is to escape into the world of fanfiction. I've been surrounded by jackasses. -_- Boys can be too confusing, I wish I still thought they were icky and not necessary and from- what was it Mars? ANYWAYS, thanks soooo much to those who have reviewed even though I had not updated in forever.
