Sorry it took me so long! I'll try to keep the time it takes to write and download a new chapter shorter. I also want to say thank you to everyone who reviewed, favorite, or put this story on story alert. Those little things you guys do make my day. Thanks again.
Hermione made it to the Burrow just as Mrs. Weasley set the last plate of food on the table. "Okay everybody dig in." she said happily. Everyone enjoyed the night, talking, eating, and laughing at some jokes Fred and George told. When dinner was finish, Mrs. Weasley cleared the table of the empty dishes. She turned to all the ladies asking them to stay in the kitchen. It turned out she just wanted to talk about the wedding plans. Hermione sat there listening as the four ladies talked about colors, dresses, and flowers occasionally giving a response. It was utterly boring and Hermione was glad when Mrs. Weasley finally let them go an hour later.
It was still light out so everyone went outside to play a game of Quidditch. Hermione sat underneath the willow tree. She watched as her friends zoomed past each other on their brooms but then decided to read her new book. At the end, George's team (who was George, Fred, and Ginny), beat Ron's team (who was Harry, Ron, and Angelina) by ten points even though Harry caught the snitch. After the game everyone went their separate ways. George decided to sit with Hermione under the willow tree. "Hey, Granger!" George said taking a seat. Hermione put her book down, and looked up at the ginger sitting next to her. "Hello George. How are you?" she asked. "Quite fine Granger. So what have you been up to." He asked trying to start up a conversation. "Reading." was her answer. George rolled his eyes. "That's all you ever do." he said earning him a smack to the shoulder.
George didn't now what to say next and apparently neither did Hermione because it became very quiet. Then an idea formed into George's head. "Hermione, do you want to do something after dinner with me tomorrow?" Hermione was surprised and confused. "Are you asking me out on a date?" she asked. "I guess I am. I mean since we're going to get married why not just try one date right. I mean you don't have to saw yes, it's fine if you don't want. I just thought it would be a good idea. You know what I should just-" George's rambled on. "George, stop rambling! Yes, I'll go out with you. It seems like a nice idea so why not" Hermione said as she opened her book again.
George's heart seemed to leap with happiness but he ignored it for the time being. "Sure, pick you up at eight and wear something casual." George said with a wink as he got up from the ground and walked back into the house.
Hermione sat on her bed wondering what to wear. Ginny walked in to see Hermione glaring at the closet in anger. "Hey Hermione, why are you staring at the closet like your going to use an unforgivable on it?" Hermione turned to her friend and gave out a sigh. "I have a date and I don't know what to wear," Hermione replied still pondering on an outfit. Ginny's eyes sparked with excitement. She jumped onto the bed, grabbing Hermione by her arms, and started jumping up and down. "Why didn't you tell me? Who is it? Do I know him? Where's he taking you? What are going to wear?' Ginny exclaimed all at once.
Hermione laughed at her best friend's behavior. She wondered if all the Weasleys were like this. "Ginny, calm down. It's only George. Who else would I go out with, I mean we are suppose to get married in six months." Hermione stated while Ginny calmed down. "All yeah, I forgot that. So what are you going to wear?" she asked still excited. Hermione shrugged. "Well is it casual or formal?" Ginny asked as she looked through Hermione's clothes. "Casual" she answered. After a couple of minutes Ginny came back from the closet with a purple top and some demin skinny jeans. "How about this?" Ginny asked.
Hermione embraced her friend. "Thanks Ginny. Now leave so I can get ready." Ginny laughed and left the room as Hermione asked. Hermione slipped on the outfit and went to do her hair. She decided to just leave it down. Hermione slipped on her purple and white converse. Hermione looked in the mirror one more time before heading into the den. As she came in George appeared from the kitchen. He was dressed in a light blue dress shirt, dark jeans, and some blue and white Nikes. "Well, don't you look nice? Ready to go?" he asked. Hermione nodded her head yes. George took Hermione by the arm gently and apparted them out of the Burrow.
George and Hermione landed in a grassy field. "George, where are we?" Hermione asked. She was a little confused on their location. "We are at the park. I thought we could just hangout." he said. George seemed a little nervous but Hermione thought it was a great idea. Hermione gave a George a smile which seemed to give him a boost of confidence. He lead Hermione to a small path that lead to a giant oak tree. To Hermione's surprise there was a blanket with a picnic basket on top. It looked so cute and peaceful Hermione couldn't hide the smile that was spreading across her face and it gave George a warm feeling to know she was happy.
They sat down on the soft blanket while George flicked his wand and the food started floating out of the basket. All sorts of food and treats came out. Hermione gave George a questioning look but he shrugged replying 'Mum packed it'. They ate in silence for a while but then George started up a conversation about her job and Hermione told him about Frozen Treats and Maya and he listened to every word that came out of her moth. After, George told her about the shop and all of the inventions that they were working on. Hermione listened to every detail George would spill out. She liked how his eyes seem to glow with excitement and he smiled for real, not the fake ones he's been giving everyone seen the war.
Soon the food was done and they laid out on the blanket looking at the stars that just started to appear in the sky. Hermione showed all the constellations that were there from the Big Dipper to Orion. George loved the stories behind them and how they made it to the sky. Before they knew, George looked at his watch and it was almost midnight. George flicked his wand and everything once again in the basket. They walked back to where they landed earlier, the grassy field, and apparted back to the burrow.
George and Hermione landed right in front of the door. "Thanks George! I had a wonderful time tonight." Hermione stated. "Your welcome Hermione. I had a great time to." He replied. They stood there staring at each other. George rubbed the back of his neck. "Well bye Hermione. See you tomorrow." he said. Hermione only nodded but she seemed like she was thinking about something. Then to George surprise she kissed his cheek. "Bye George." Hermione said before slipping through the door leaving George in the dark night. George put his hand to his cheek while a large smile grew on his face. He apparted back to his apartment happy then he's been a long time.
So what you guys think? I personally think I made the Hermione and George a little OOC but maybe it's just me. Sorry again for how late this is. With School and some things I do after school I hardly had time to right this month but soon I'll have all the time to write(SUMMER VACATION). Can't Wait!
