George saw Hermione walk out the door after Harry's proposal to his little sister. He followed her until they reach the pond. George watched as she sat down and just stared at the lake. He walked up behind her. " What are you doing?" he asked. Surprised by the sudden noise Hermione pulled out her wand and put it up against George's neck in mere seconds. George's eyes widen from her actions. "Wow Hermione, it's just me." he told her slowly as she put her wand down.
"Oh, sorry George." Hermione said as she put her wand away. "I guess odd habits die hard. What are you doing here?" She asked. George just shrugged, he's been asking himself that same question. "I don't know. I guess I needed to get out of the house with all the news about the marriage law and my sister's proposal." Hermione just nodded. "So why are you out here?" he asked. "I guess for the same reasons as you." Hermione answered. They sat there and talked about random things like the shop, the news, you know regular things until they were interrupted by a voice.
George and Hermione turned their heads to see Fred calling them both back inside to the burrow. They walked into the burrow to see Fred smirk at them. "What?" asked George. "Nothing Forge. Come on, got to go back to the shop." Fred replied. George nodded and turned to Hermione, as Fred disapparated to the shop. "Bye Hermione, see you later at dinner." he said but what he did next surprise both himself and Hermione. He gave Hermione a tight hug and a kiss on her cheek . It wasn't an awkward hug, they hugged before but he never kissed her. With one last glance he apparated to the shop.
Thoughts were going through George's head as he landed at the front entrance of the shop. He opened the door to see Fred stocking the shelves with their Skiving Snackboxes.
"Why did I kiss her like that?" George said out loud to himself. 'Kiss who like what?' asked a voice from a corner of the shop. George turned around to see Fred stacking products on the shelves. "Hermione. I kissed Hermione on the cheek." "Well Forge, there can be to reasons. One is that you just gave her a kiss on the cheek because you were leaving and it was a goodbye kiss. Reason number two, you like her. I would go with the lesser of the two." Fred replied and walked over to the door to flip the sign from close to open. "Don't be silly Fred! I don't like Hermione Granger. That's like liking Ginny!" exclaimed George shuttering the mental image. Fred laughed quietly to himself. "Whatever you say George. Whatever you say." was Fred's answer before going into the back room.
George sat at the counter as customers starting pouring in. He rung them up but all George could think about was that kiss. Sure it was just a kiss on the cheek but still it was a kiss. It bother him but why? Was it because maybe he felt something, like a spark? This questions were rattling around George's brain all day. Maybe he did like Hermione he's favorite bookworm and maybe it's not so bad.
Hermione was a little stunned that George gave her a kiss on the cheek. 'It's was just a kiss on the cheek. It's normal. You've seen him give kisses on the cheeks to all his family members.' the voice inside her head kept repeating. Hermione believed the voice after a few more times of convincing and went into the kitchen to help Mrs. Weasley with the house chores. She helped sweep the floors, clean the dishes, and de-gnome the garden while Mrs. Weasley cooked dinner and cleaned the house a little. Mrs. Weasley was nervous at least from what everyone could tell and it was easy to tell. It wasn't hard to guess why. The letters from the Ministry were coming with the names of all the women her sons will have to marry. Any mother would be nervous truthfully.
By the time Hermione was done in the garden, it was time for dinner. She sat right between Ginny and George who walked in through the door with his brother right as she walked into the kitchen. They talked through th dinner but with not many words a little eye contact. Most of the family seemed to notice but ignored them just to be polite. Just as dessert was put on the table an owl land swiftly next to Mr. Weasley with four letters attached to her leg.
Mr. Weasley untied the letters and gave the owl a piece of bread, which she gave him a soft nip on the finger before flying back to Ministry. "Well Fred, George, Hermione, and Ron get your letters. They each got up from the table one at a time each returning with a worried expression. "Well who wants to go first?" asked Harry quietly. "I will" replied Hermione. She looked at the letter, then at her friends one more time before opening the letter.
Thanks for reading and for the comments, they made my day! So do you think Hermione going to like her new husband?
