Chapter 2:
"I mean, really Gred, I'm just concerned for the relationship between me and my brother. It's not like I can't be trusted, I'm a trustworthy person, right?" George actually was. Although he truly had felt that he and his brother were becoming a little more distance then others, he thought it was because of summer vacation. Now, he wasn't so sure. "Just drop it, ok, Feorge? It's really not that big of a deal. You're making it much bigger than it needs to be." Fred continued to rummage through the fridge for some food, while he watched George shake his head silently as he sat down on the counter next to the fridge.
"You're mental! A wedding in the family, the wedding in the family, and you don't think it's 'that big of a deal'? I mean who would have known that, my brother, my-," George was practically screaming when Fred cut him off, "Knock it off, will ya'? It's getting a bit annoying, honestly!" George could tell that Fred truthfully annoyed, and backed down before he was petrified. "You're right, I'm sorry Gred. I'll stop." He hopped down off the counter and took into his apple before continuing, "But hey, it really is the wedding. Am I right?" Fred shook his head with a smirk and began to walk towards the stairs, George close behind. "Quite right," he went up a few steps and suddenly stopped, looked down at the floor, then chuckled. "Quite right, my brother." Then proceeded up the steps. George looked around, imagining a crowd, then slowly began to nod his head, "Of course I'm right! Why wouldn't I be? I mean, I am George Weasley." George then followed his brother up the stairs, as he laughed at his clever self.
Hermione did as she had promised and had answered all of the questions that crossed Ginny's mind. Just as she had finished answering one of Ginny's questions, ("Last one I promise!" Ginny said for the fifth time) a question crossed her mind. "Err- Ginny? How exactly did you find out?" Ginny turned a bright shade of pink, and Hermione regretted asking this question, and was debating whether or not to let her answer, however, her curiosity won her over. Ginny looked at Hermione with a innocent look, as if pleading Hermione take back the question, when Hermione didn't Ginny sighed and reluctantly answered. "Oh, well, alright." As Ginny sighed again, Hermione was practically dieing of anticipation. "Well, really I became suspicious about you too back in the beginning of the year. You guys were hanging out a lot more then usual, so I made a mental note to keep an eye on you. Then Christmas came along." Ginny paused, and now it was Hermione's turn to fade into a pinkish color. Ginny began to smile. "I knew you had had one too many butterbeers on Christmas Eve, and I was going to bring you up to bed, however, I turned my back for one minute while talking to Harry, and next thing I know is, my brother's taking you up to his room!" Ginny stared at Hermione, while Hermione gawked back. 'He had said nobody would notice!' Hermione swore under her breath as Ginny continued,
"However, I wasn't about to be a hypocrite and interrupt you! However, late after everyone went to bed, you still hadn't returned. I wasn't worried, more uh… interested! So I headed up to my brothers room, whose door was still closed, and snuck right in. Right away I regretted it! I probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual; however, on my way over to my hiding spot, I stepped on your knickers! Your knickers! On the floor, in my brother's room!" Hermione was now a dark magenta color and was turning darker by the minute. But Ginny wasn't about to stop,
"Just as I was about to leave, I heard a soft moan, then a purr and a quiet whisper that had said 'Kiss me, while we still have tonight.' I would have vomited all over the place if I was alone, however, I was stuck in a room with one of my older brothers and my best friend who were about to…ek, I don't even want to talk about it anymore." Ginny shook her head and stared at Hermione, and then she broke the silence. "Then the other day when we were going out, you let me borrow some jewelry from you," Before Ginny even finished, Hermione realized her mistake, "I was rather surprised when I saw that ring that you always stare at when we go through London. Then I remembered how you mentioned your desire for it at dinner, and put too and too together!"
Hermione felt so stupid. After all these years of being able to keep silly little secrets with her cleverness, the one really big one she messes up with her stupidity! Another question ran across her mind, "Ginny, what did you mean earlier today when you called me a hypocrite?" Ginny smiled wildly and replied "Oh, 'mione, your relationship and quidditch are very alike." Hermione still didn't get it. Ginny liked this, "I'm just saying, marrying Fred Weasley, it's not as safe as you think it is."
