Hermione collapsed and screamed louder than ever before.
Apparently, loud enough for Ginny to hear because next thing she knew, Hermione was being carried back to the Burrow, by Ginny. "Shh…. it'll be ok. Calm down." Hermione fought her sobs and said, "I've lost everything. Everything important to me is gone." Ginny paused then repeated, "It'll be ok."
Ginny sighed. Hermione had cried herself to sleep about halfway back to the Burrow. Ginny just laid her down on the couch and collapsed right next to her. Finny thought about her next move, then pounded up the stairs, and didn't even hesitate when she swung the twins door open.
Ginny had every intention of screaming at Fred until she realized she had walked into a heated situation. "She still loves him, she still loves Ron!" It was then that Fred noticed Ginny. "Ever heard of knocking?" Ginny scowled and said "Sorry, force of habit." Sarcastically, as she surveyed him up and down. Fred stepped in front of something when her eyes met his feet. Ginny couldn't tell what it was.
"What is that?" She stepped forward as Fred mumbled "Nothing. What? What are you talking about?" Ginny pushed him into George, who had his head hung low. The object at her feet forced her to gasp, and the intention of yelling returned. "Fred? What the bloody hell is going on? Why is your trunk packed?" She glared at Fred and George and they were both so terrified the only problem was deciding was going to tell her.
"I'm going to the Leaky Cauldron until Hermione leaves because I'm not marrying someone who loves my brother!" screamed Fred under the pressure of eyes similar to his mothers. Ginny was breathing deeply now and when she spook in a forced, calm voice, the twins were more terrified then when she was screaming. "Are. You. Kidding. Me? How do you think Ron feels? You stole the only girl he's truly liked. I bet he never though if he ever lost Hermione, it would be to you." Ginny took a deep breath and then said "Fred, your got the girl, now don't let her get away."
Fred stood astounded. He looked down at his sister and wondered how someone so little could know so much. He leaned over and kissed his little sister on the cheek and thanked her for bringing him back to reality. Fred took a deep breath, and for the second time that day, Fred left that room with the determination to tell Hermione something he never had before.
Hermione was woken by a series of kisses on her lips and then heard a scratchy voice saying, "I'm sorry, Hermione." between every kiss. Hermione opened her eyes and was disappointed by the face above hers. She forced a smile on her face as he said "I forgive you for liking my brother. Can we just start over?" This Weasley brother must had though Hermione's smile meant yes because he leaned in for another kiss, however, this times, Hermione was wide awake, and slipped away before their lips met.
She smiled at the ginger and said, "Yeah, I am going to start over." And without another word, Hermione left with as much as determination as her fiancé, but hopefully, she didn't have as much failure as him.
