AN: Whoo, look at me! I'm on a roll, two updates so close to each other! Obviously the world is ending...
Nah, just kidding. but this oneshot is a bit different. It's how Fred and Hermione's relationship progresses through the years BUT it's through different people's POVs! And sadly, it'll have to be in parts. I don't have enough time right now to finish all of them but I will post the last bit soon!
Anyway, enjoy! Ooh and I'm not J. K. Rowling, sadly.
"Excuse me, but has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one."
George looked up at the young girl who stood waiting at the sliding door of their compartment. She looked at the inhabitants expectantly as she waited for their answer to her question. She already wore her uniform, apparently eager to arrive, and her brown hair reminded him vaguely of some type of bush in his mum's garden. As a matter of fact, she seemed rather plain looking to him.
He assumed she was a first year, mainly because she didn't look like anyone he knew but also because she certainly would have recognized the Weasley twins if she had been to Hogwarts before. They were quite proud of being Hogwarts's most notorious pranksters, and anyone who wasn't aware of that fact was definitely on the list for prank targets.
He turned towards Fred and the two silently nodded, already planning up pranks for the poor little first year.
"No, we haven't," Lee answered for them. "But we'll keep an eye out for him if you'd like."
And with a quick nod of thanks the girl was gone.
"At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent."
Fred and George smirked at the comment, knowing how much Hermione claimed to dislike Quidditch.
"No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood," Malfoy spat back.
Almost instantly there was complete chaos. Harry watched as Flint dived in front of Malfoy to prevent the Weasley twins from jumping on him while Alicia and several other teammates screamed from behind him. Ron plunged his hand into his robes, found his wand, and furiously pointed it at Malfoy and...
BANG!
He and the rest of the Gryffindor team crowded around Ron, who had been knocked back several feet and was lying on his back. After the disturbing revelation that Ron was burping up slugs, he and Hermione decided to take him to Hagrid's hut.
The trio missed the malicious look that passed over the twins faces as the carried Ron away.
Payback would be swift.
They found Hermione in the common room, seated at one of the tables in the corner and surrounded by piles books, papers, quills, parchment, and all manner of school-related items. The twins plopped down into chairs on either side of her, while Lee struggled to clear a space on the table to lean against.
"So Granger, we've heard that a certain someone has dropped Divination."
Hermione looked up from her well-used copy of Numerology and Gramatica to find Lee and the Weasley twins looking at her expectantly with rather large grins on their faces.
"Yes, well. Divination is a load of rubbish. I'd rather spend my time on something much more worthwhile, like Arithmancy."
"Come on, Hermione. You can admit that you liked skipping out of class. We all need to let our hair down every once in a while," George grinned.
"Yeah, Hermione. We always knew you'd come around, start rebelling and all that," said Fred, whose grin was so large it threatened to split his head in two.
Lee just shook his head, trying incredibly hard to contain his laughter at his two friends.
Hermione shook her head and turned back to her book, but Lee could've sworn he saw a hint of a smile before the three pranksters turned to make their way up to their dormitory.
AN: Well, that's all I really had time to write/post today! Please remember to review and let me know what you think or if you see any errors! Much love to you all!
