Chapter 5
When Hermione walked into her and Ginny's room to change into her pajamas she found Ginny in the room already sitting on her bed. "Hey, 'Mione" Ginny said as she looked up at her. "What's wrong?" Hermione asked panic clearly rose in her voice. "Nothing, I just think that you should try to eat something." Ginny said as she pointed to Hermione's protruding bones as she changed. "Ginny just leave it alone! It's my body; I can do what I want!" Hermione screamed and stormed out of the room. "Way to be subtle Gin" Ginny said to herself as she stood up and walked towards the door.
Hermione had no clue where she was going or for the matter why, but she knew she had to get out of there. She first started walking towards the exit but realized that it was being "guarded" by Harry, Ginny and Bill in deep conversation. "Shit" Hermione whispered to herself as she mutely walked back up the stairs. She thought twice before going back to her room, because it was quite plausible for Ginny to return. She needed someplace where if she couldn't be alone the people wouldn't constantly check up on her. Her feet led her to Fred and George's room. "Well couldn't hurt" Hermione said to herself as she raised her hand to knock. "Yo" was the answer she heard from someone in the room. "Hey" she said with an attempted smile as she entered the room. ""Mione, hey are you okay?" George asked as he stood up from his bed. "Yeah, no, I don't know! All I can tell is that I need a place to escape where everything is all 'worry about Hermione'!" Hermione said in an exasperated tone. "Well I believe that you took a wrong turn" George said with a smile. "I know you guys care but you know when to back off and leave it be, you know I'm trying to be myself again and you don't seem to stress about me so much!" Hermione said as she sat down on George's bed. This is where Fred decided to make his presence know but snorting loudly.
When Hermione finally looked over at him he was glaring back at her. She turned her head back to George with a questioning look. "He just stared at Fred mesmerized that he was acting in such a rude way to Hermione. "Look Fred…" Hermione was cut off by Fred. "No, I honestly don't think I want to look at you while you try to apologize for something you didn't do and try to act all innocent!" Fred snapped as he stood. "Fred" George growled under his breath in a warning. "What" Hermione asked as her eyes flashed. "You heard me, you keep playing the 'oh look at me I won't eat, or do anything because my boyfriend is DEAD!" Fred sneered stepping closer to the girl. "Excuse me?! You are nothing but a god damn hypocrite, you know that?! 'Oh look it's the almighty Fred Weasley everyone bow down before me! I can do whatever I want! BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!" Hermione screamed as she too stood. "Well at least I eat!" Fred shouted back. "Well, if that's the way you want it!" Hermione screamed as she ran out the door and down the stairs into the kitchen for dinner. "Fred I want to know the real reasons later" George said with a look that meant he wasn't kidding. "Okay, but until then I hope she'll eat" Fred said as he walked out the door after Hermione.
When they walked into the kitchen Hermione was sitting at the table stuffing her face like a pig. She had leftover plates made for her over the past 4 night all strewn out in front of her. "WOW" George said as he shook his head half amused and half disgusted. Fred sat down next to Hermione staring at her in admiration. "WHAT?" she snapped when she finally looked up from her food. "Nothing but, I hope you realize that you just ate, what the rest of us couldn't finish in four days, you just finished in like 25 minutes." Fred said with a smirk. "Yeah, what's your damn point?!" Hermione bit out as her eyes turned harsh and cold. "There was no point little Ms. Granger except to piss you off and waste your time!" Fred said as Hermione's scowl turned fierce. "Go away" Hermione said as she pushed in her chair. "Thank you Mrs. Weasley it was fantastic!" Hermione said as she went over to her and hugged her. Mrs. Weasley was practically in tears of joy as Hermione walked past Fred with a brush of the shoulder. "Fredrick Weasley you do anything to ruin what has just started I will personally castrate you with a dull spoon!" Ginny said with an innocent smile. "Yes Ma'am!" Fred said with a salute as he and George waked back to their room.
As they appeared in the doorway, they got a surprise when Hermione was lying on Fred's bed. "Can I help you?" Fred asked as he sat down beside her. "No, but I think I'm gonna puke!" Hermione said as she rolled towards him clutching her stomach. "Sorry, but anything else we can actually help with?" he asked as he raised a red eyebrow. "Nope other than that I'm good" Hermione said as she walked out the door and back into Ginny's room. "Night" she hollered from the door. "Sleep well 'Mione!" the twins said simultaneously. "So you wanna tell me what really happened today, starting with the whole hissy fit at the grocery store?" George asked as he lay down on his bed. "Well, I got mad because she was finally doing better and having fun but then; she turns around and is completely stubborn. I didn't get it." Fred said with a shrug. "Okay, but when you asked why she ran a look of hurt flashed threw your eyes. Tell me why!" George said impatiently. "I-I-I have no idea what you're talking about!" Fred said in mock outrage. "Cut the shit and tell me, is it because you have feelings for 'Mione that run deeper than they should?" George asked with a knowing look. "Shut up George!" Fred said as he flicked his wand and the lights went out. "Fine but this isn't over!" George said in a sing-song voice.
