Hi lovely readers! This is the last chapter I've done so far... but if you've got any ideas of what I could add after this then please tell me your ideas! I'd love to hear them! :) This is a long chapter so enjoy!

The next day came and George was just about to close the shop. He glanced at the clock which read five to seven, and he looked out of the window to see Hermione waving at him. She ran inside quickly, shutting the door behind her.

"Georgie!" she shouted, running at him and hugging him, surprising him completely.

"Hermione, you OK? You're a bit cheery, more than usual," he said and Hermione flirtatiously slapped his arm and giggled. "Er... Hermione, Annie's coming here in a bit and well..." he said, glancing at the door and she giggled again, nervously though this time.

"Oh! Annie, that girl who you're dating. Yes, I remember from the letter. She's the one with the big boobs?" she said casually and Georges eyes widened.

"Er... no, I wouldn't say..."

"Or is it the girl who normally has about two boyfriends at once? I'd keep an eye out, George," she whispered dramatically, touching his nose and leaning into his body. This was very much unlike Hermione, but she wanted to keep the act going. "Go on, make him jealous!" she said to herself. She leant forward slightly to show her chest, and she purposely unbuttoned her blouse to do this. He stared down at her chest and wanted her, and she wanted him. But this he could really do without right now.

"Hermione, I..."

"You know what they say about that Annie?" she whispered huskily at him, stroking his face softly. "She's not very nice. She'll try and sleep with you on the first date, you know," she whispered and his eyes widened.

"Hermione, we slept together and we weren't even dating. I don't that that would be an issue," he said and Hermione took a step back, looking hurt and upset by what he just said. The door opened.

"George! Her... mione?" whispered Annie, looking shocked and wondering why Hermione was with George in the first place. She was dressed in a overly tight dress and heels and looking awful. Hermione tried not to laugh at her attire and she succeeded but George hit her arm harshly, knowing why she was giggling. Annie ignored this.

"Annabell, nice to see you," she said formally, shaking her hand roughly. "Take care of him now. He's a piece of work on a first date. Tries to get in your knickers and everything," she whispered to Annie and she giggled nervously. George grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her away violently and Hermione wobbled slightly.

"See you later, Hermione," he said, snapping at her and Hermione gasped. He slammed the door and went down the street arm in arm with one another and left Hermione on the verge of tears. She knelt to the floor and leant against the front of the desk and cried into her arms, sobbing. Suddenly, a shiver went down her spine and she felt cold, yet comforted.

"Hermione..."

Hermione looked up and saw nothing. Suddenly, in front of her she saw Fred sat at her feet, smiling at her and she gasped. "Fred... how?" she asked and Fred smiled, shaking his head.

"Hermione, I haven't got long. Are you OK?" he asked and she shook her head.

"Do I look it?!" she snapped and he laughed.

"You're still the cross yet loving Hermione I know. I know you like George. So, what's the problem?" asked Fred and Hermione opened her mouth to speak.

"I don't like him..." she whispered, angry with the fact that her emotions had taken a hold of her.

"You do. I can see it. Don't try and deny the fact. You're angry that he's going on a date with someone like Annie, and you are trying to make him jealous, and you're failing. He's not interested in you and this has lead to you crying and looking a mess." Hermione giggled and looked at Fred's ghostly image.

"Oh, I have missed you trying to cheer me up. What should I do?" she asked, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Firstly, stop crying. Secondly, tell him how you feel?" he whispered and Hermione nodded.

"You're right. Of course you're right. Thank you," she whispered and he nodded, and disappeared from sight. She sighed heavily and leant against the desk, thinking of what to say to George. She wondered for a few minutes and then sat upright. "He doesn't like you, so what's the point? You never do this Hermione," she whispered to herself and she stood up and left the shop. She reached the ice cream parlour and saw George and Lee heading for the shop, missing Hermione completely and she decided to follow them to confess to George about her feelings. As she entered the shop quietly, Lee and George were in full discussion, so she hit behind a cabinet and listened intently.

"Didn't go well then, I take it?" asked Lee and George sighed.

"She's not in my bed naked so... no. I don't think it did Lee," he snapped and Lee laughed. Hermione gasped and felt hurt, her heart breaking slowly. The thought of another girl being in bed with George made her feel sick.

"What about Hermione? She's cute. Good friend too," said Lee and Hermione felt a smile creep upon her face.

"I'm not getting into that mess mate. She's a good friend, nothing more. I don't like her in that way. You should've seen her earlier... all over me, naturally," he said, chuckling to himself and Hermione's anger rose slowly.

"Hermione? All over you? Mate, she's got standards," said Lee and Hermione smiled softly, glad that someone was taking her side.

"She was certainly all over me during New Years," whispered George and Hermione gasped. Lee's eyes widened and he looked blankly at George. "Yep, you know, the whole 'friends have sex and nothing more thing'," he said and Lee sighed.

"So... there was something going on during Charlie's birthday?" he asked and George nodded.

"Yeah, but I stopped it that evening. I didn't like her in that way. She was... a bit clingy for my liking. And when it comes to a relationship, she wants the whole hearts and flowers thing. Not that I'm into that an' all but... I don't fancy it personally," he said, shurgging and Hermione slowly stood, making sure that she wasn't seen. She got out her wand and thought of a spell.

"She's a nice girl," said Lee kindly and Hermione felt even more angry.

"In bed, yeah," said George and he laughed.

"LOCOMOTOR MORTIS!" yelled Hermione and a red spark flew out of her wand and hit Georges legs, and they stuck together and were unable to move. "You little liar, Weasley!" she screamed at him and he looked stunned.

"Hermione... I – I..." he stuttered.

"No! Let me explain something. I am not one of those girls, George, who you can just sleep with and have no fucking relationship with. And throughout the whole time we were sleeping together, I was not clingy! You're an ass, George Weasley and I never want to speak to you again," she shouted and she turned on her heel and made her way to the door. Lee looked shocked and his mouth was wide open as Hermione let out her burst of anger.

"Oh, and another thing," she whispered, and George noticed that there were tears rolling down her cheeks. "I was coming here to tell you something, George. Something that I've been keeping a secret for a long time. But I doubt you'd want to know anyway, seeing as I'm only useful for sex. See you," she whispered and she ran out of the shop and disappeared from sight. George had nothing to say and stared at the door.

"Well... shit," whispered Lee, running his hands through his hair as he paced.

"Just get me out of this fucking spell!" shouted George and Lee prepared his wand and cast a spell, and Georges legs were free. "I need to be alone right now," he said and he stormed up the stairs into his apartment and slammed the door, falling onto the sofa and suddenly a chill went through his body.

"George..."

George sat up and looking around and felt something cold on his shoulder. He slowly turned to see Fred standing over him.

"Fred? What... oh my God," he whispered, tears forming in his eyes and he threw himself at his brother, hugging him tightly, despite the coldness from Fred's ghostly body.

"George, you're such an idiot," he whispered.

"Nice to see you too," added George and he looked down. "Guess you heard all that then?" he asked and George nodded slowly.

"Every word. I can't believe you said that about her. I thought you were her friend?" he asked and George stood up quickly and walked to the kitchen.

"I do like her, Fred. I was just... pissed off." George walked towards Fred who looked disappointed with his brother. Fred sighed.

"She likes you. No, I'd say she loves you. That's what she came here to tell you but you and your big mouth ruined it all... no change there eh?" he said and Georges eyes widened.

"She loves me?" he asked, confused.

"Can't you tell? Jesus... they were right calling me the smarter one of the two. She was jealous about Annie, she was trying to get your attention before Annie arrived and she was heartbroken when you said all those things about her. I've never seen her like that before, George. You'd be a fool to let that one go," whispered Fred and George sighed.

"But... the whole thing before that - "

"Yes, she did that because she loved you and you both needed it in a way. Also, she didn't want to ruin your friendship. Maybe build it?" he said and George fell to the floor. "I know you like her. I can see it," he whispered and George sighed, throwing his head into his hands.

"Yes... OK I admit it. I like her... more than like. Jesus... and now, the only girl who I have ever even nearly loved has gone," he whispered, tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"She's at the burrow, in Ginny's room talking about you. She's told Ginny what you were both doing and now she's heartbroken. Go to her. I'll be here for you, Georgie. You know that," whispered Fred and George smiled, nodding. He suddenly apperated and appeared at the burrow, standing at the front door. He sighed heavily and prepared himself.

"Shit... come on Weasley. You can do this," he whispered to himself. As he went to open the door, Hermione opened it and was stood face to face with the last person she wanted to see.

"George!" she exclaimed, with anger in her voice as she stared into his eyes.

"Hermione, I need to talk to you," he whispered and she looked at him sternly.

"Well, I don't fancy talking to you right now, Weasley," she whispered and she went to close the door but George blocked it with his foot and Hermione sighed heavily. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the door and it began to rain. She stood in the doorway and George was slowly getting wet from the falling rain drops; but he didn't care.

"I have an apology to make..." he whispered and Hermione folded her arms.

"Whether I choose to accept this apology or not is up to me, George. So make it quick," she snapped and his head rose up, staring into her eyes. He gaped and realised how beautiful she really was. He wanted her, so much and he loved her, but he didn't realise it.

"Listen, Hermione. I know I've been an utter prick these past few weeks, and there are reasons to it. I suppose you could say that it's in my nature. I am one of the Weasley twins," he said and he smirked, hoping Hermione had joined in but she just stared at him, expressionless.

"But... what I really want to say is... that... Hermione. I love you. And I just didn't realise it till now. And all those stupid mistakes I made with Annie and saying that you were clingy and only good for sex was a lie. You're the most talented, amazing, funny, sexy and kind witch I've ever known. And I understand if you don't want me seeing as I've been an idiot. So... that's it," he said, shrugging and Hermione said nothing, but still looked at George sadly.

"George... just... why did you say those things?" she asked and her voiced cracked, he could tell she was heartbroken.

"Because... I'm an idiot. And idiots do stupid things... when they're in love," he whispered. He smiled and shrugged again with his hands in his pockets. He was drenched and he looked up at the sky. "Well... I best go. See you," he whispered and he wondered off towards the gate. Hermione watched him leave and her heart started to mend slowly. She knew she loved him and that they were meant for each other. She felt a hand pushing her from the door and she turned to see Ginny smiling at her.

"Are you an idiot like him?! Didn't you hear that speech! Get him!" she shouted and Hermione smiled goofily at her. She bolted towards George who was coming up to the field near the house.

"George!" she shouted as she got closer to him and he turned, frowning as he saw her running to him. She ran to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him lovingly and tenderly with all her compassion she had left, oozing in every last bit of love she carried. He kissed her back and she parted from his lips.

"We were both idiots. But I'm sure it's something we can work on," she whispered and he smiled at her, taking her mouth once more as they kissed in the rain, both of them soaking but not caring in the slightest.
