A/N:

sorry it's been so long since i updated, things have been crazy and i found it really hard to write this chapter.

This chapter isn't all that good, and kind of a waste, but it's necessary for where the story is going so bear with me.

also .. i still need a title .. suggestions?

anyway on with the story ..

The next morning Hermione woke around 8 o'clock and quickly bolted out of bed, remembering her visit to London today. She ran to the bathroom to have a shower, and ran into Fred who was just leaving, wearing only a towel.

"Morning Hermione, shower's free, I'm going to make some breakfast want some?"

"Morning Fred, I would love some breakfast, if that's alright."

"Sure, no problem, anything in particular?"

"Whatever you're having is fine."

"Alright then, well I'm gonna go down and fix it now, but I guess I should probably get dressed first hey?"

"Um, yeah." She blushed realising she was facing an almost naked Fred.

She quickly ran into the bathroom and locked the door, turning the shower on, and letting the hot water run over her skin.

"Breakfast is ready Hermione!" she heard Fred call 10 minutes later.

"Thanks Fred, I'll be out in a sec." She called.

Fred had to stop his jaw from hitting the ground when Hermione walked down the stairs, wearing a tiny jean mini skirt, a white tank top with her purple bra showing a bit, her converse and her hair pulled into a side ponytail.

"Do I look okay?" she asked twirling around in a circle.

"Er, yeah, you look great, you look really nice Hermione." He stuttered.

"Thanks, so what's for breakfast?" She asked.

"Bacon, eggs, sausage and pancakes! All my favourites so I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all thanks. Where's your Mum and everyone else?"

"Mum had to go to Diagon Alley, Dad's at work and everyone else is asleep." He explained.

"Cool, well you ready to leave?" she asked excitedly.

"Yeah just gotta brush my teeth and quickly fix something in my room."

"Awesome, I'll be ready to leave in say 20 minutes, so just let me know when you're done and we can go."

"Alright I won't be too long, you can have the bathroom first."

"Thanks Fred."

As soon as he heard the bathroom door click shut, Fred bolted up to his room and pulled out the WWW order forms from under his bed. He had to hide them from his mother in a hurry this morning and didn't get to finish looking through them. He had just finished the last order form when Hermione's head peered around the doorframe.

"Bathroom's free, I'll just be reading in the lounge room so come get me when you're ready to leave."

"Sweet, thanks Hermione, won't be long.

5 minutes later Fred came down the stairs and found Hermione reading a book intently in the big armchair in front of the fire.

"I'm ready, we going?"

"Yeah, your Dad said we could borrow the car right?" she asked as they got in.

"Yep, I asked him last night just after you went to bed."

"Oh, ok awesome, well lets go." She sounded nervous.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Fred asked her suddenly worried.

"Nothing, just anxious about seeing everyone you know."

"Fair enough."

It took 45 minutes to drive to London and all along the way Hermione and Fred had been singing along to the radio, and talking about Hogwarts.

"Well, this is it." Hermione told him.

"Cool, hey Hermione what's that?" he asked pointing to her hand.

"This Fred, is a mobile phone and you can use it to talk to people, like this ready." She quickly dialled the number of her friend Natalie, and waited for her to pick up.

"Mia?" Natalie asked.

"Hey Nat! It's me, well I'm in London now, meeting usual place, yeah? Mmhmm," Hermione agreed as her friend told her something. "For sure, I brought a friend with me, is that ok? Alright thanks well we'll see you in 5 minutes." She hung up and Fred stared at the phone in wonder.

"That was awesome, can you do it again?" he asked excitedly.

"Maybe a bit later, now I'm warning you Fred, NO MAGIC, and don't mention things if you think they're weird, save it for later, okay? My friends don't know I'm a witch and it's going to stay that way. Ok?"

"Yes ma'am." He saluted her. She laughed at him and pointed across the road.

"We're meeting everyone there, so lets go, I can see Jess and Natalie already."

"Don't tell me they're all going to be chicks." He groaned.

"No Frederick, there will be guys coming I can guarantee you that." At this she smiled mischievously.

"I don't like that look, Hermione Granger." Fred warned. She laughed at him as she got out of the car and waited for him so she could lock the door.

"Hermione!" someone called as they ran across the street.

"Oh my god, it's so good to see you Jess!" she squealed as they hugged in the middle of the street.

"Hate to burst your bubble Mione, but if you don't move, I think you might get crushed flat, and we can't have that, can we?"

"Oh right, um, sorry, Fred this is Jess, Jess, Fred, we go to school together."

"Hey nice to meet you." Fred greeted her, shaking her hand.

"Likewise." She smiled at him. She quickly pulled Hermione aside, "did you dump Justin or something?" she asked in what she thought was a whisper. "I mean it's a shame, but at least he's hot, you have good taste. You do know Justin's coming today right?"

"For god's sake Jess the whole street didn't need to hear you. No I didn't dump Justin, Fred's just a friend, and I know Justin is coming, I invited him." She explained in a quieter tone.

"Right, of course, well lets get moving, lots to catch up on."

"Definitely," she agreed. "Come on Fred, I'll buy you an ice cream." She grinned as she saw his face light up at the mention of ice cream.

"Who exactly is coming Jess?" Hermione asked.

"The usual crowd. Nat, Amanda, Chloe, Lizzie, Josh, Luke, Liam, Davo and of course Justin."

"Oh ok awesome, now any huge news I should know before I see them, please, tell me anything that may give me a heart attack."

"Well Lizzie and Josh are going out, Davo broke up with that Eliza chick, remember her? Anyway I have recently noticed that Luke seems to have a bit of a liking for Chloe so we may have to give that a bit of a nudge and that's about it."

"Alright. Walk faster Fred, do you want an ice cream?" she joked.

"You're so mean to me Mione, wait til I report you to Ron and Harry, they won't be happy if they knew you took me to London and didn't buy me ice cream." He finished with a smug look and when she poked her tongue out at him he pulled the puppy dog face and she quickly caved, annoyed that she gave in so easily.

"Fine, but only because I don't want to be in trouble with Harry." She joked.

They just reached the ice cream shop when someone came up behind Hermione and put their hands over her eyes.

"Guess who?" the voice asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's Amanda." She joked knowing it was her boyfriend Justin.

"You better be joking." He growled in her ear. When she didn't reply he spun her around and kissed her full on the mouth they quickly got into it, putting all of their passion from the past year into the one kiss.

"Jeez you two get a room." One of the boys called.

"No problem, so Mione where do you want to go?" he asked jokingly as they sat down, Fred shot questioning looks at Hermione, as she quickly turned red and looked down, embarrassed.

"Well I'm going to order, be back in a sec." Justin announced.

"Wanna explain that to me 'Mione?" Fred whispered with a wink.

"Not particularly." She answered stiffly, looking out toward the road, avoiding Fred's eyes.

"Well I don't care, tell me." He asked, leaning in excitedly, waiting for the story.

"He's my boyfriend." Was the only answer she gave him.

"Well, I did hope as much, but come one 'Mione I want details!"

It was then that Justin came back, sitting next to Hermione and placing his arm over her shoulders. As Hermione glared at him, Fred noticed his opportunity was gone, but both he and Hermione knew he wasn't going to let this go.
