Chapter 3
The next morning we got woken up by Mrs. Weasley to have some breakfast. Ginny and I went down and sat at the large dining table. It was full with sausages, bacon, eggs, rolls and more. I sat down next to Ron and grabbed a bacon and egg roll.
"So, on New Years I'm hosting a party!" Mrs. Weasley announced like she could hardly keep it in any longer. "It's a formal kind of party so make sure you dress appropriately," she advised looking at Fred and George.
"We should go shopping for new dresses!" Ginny said looking at me.
"Okay well I'll just go get ready," I stood up and thanked Mrs. Weasley for breakfast. As I was walking up the stairs I heard the creaking sound of someone getting up from the dining table and heard footsteps behind me on the stairs. I turned around and Fred ran straight into me. I couldn't help but start laughing but I was seriously embarrassed.
"Sorry!" I exclaimed.
"Its fine," Fred smiled looking a bit embarrassed himself.
"Fred, I uhh, actually wanted to ask you something," I mumbled.
"Ask away," he said.
"Well, after I was asked to come over on the holidays, I was upstairs, packing, and Ginny told me something," I started slowly. He raised his eyebrows at me. "Well she said that she overheard you and George talking in the common room… She said that she heard you and George saying you wanted me to come over these holidays." He just smiled; I looked at him expecting him to say something.
"Well it's not my secret to tell. I'll see you later," he gave me a cheeky smile and started up the stairs again.
"Wait, what?" I called out to him but he just walked into his room.
What did he mean by that? What secret isn't he aloud to tell? I walked into Ginny's room quite confused about what just happened. I pulled out my suitcase and put on some jeans and a long top with a jumper and scarf. I picked up my wallet and walked downstairs just as everyone was getting up from the table I looked at George and saw that he was looking at me. I quickly looked away and my cheeks started feeling hot, I hope he didn't see me blushing.
"I'll just go get ready and we'll head into Diagon Alley," Ginny said.
I sat down in one of the comfortable arm chairs while I was waiting for Ginny. Harry came over and sat next to me.
"Your cheeks are red," Harry stated.
"What?" I asked shocked. Merlin help me! I hope I'm not still blushing from looking at George.
"Yeah, it's not even hot. Why are they red?" Harry asked confused. "Are you blushing?" Harry sounded like he was going to laugh.
"I am not!" I snapped.
"You're not what?" Ron asked walking over and sitting next to Harry.
Oh, this is so embarrassing they could only be getting redder with them staring at me.
"She's blushing!" Harry laughed.
"Why?" Ron questioned.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, Fred and George walk into the room.
I felt so mortified.
"What's so funny?" George asked Harry. Harry just pointed at me. I let my face fall into my hands; I never wanted to look up again! I heard someone come down the stairs; I hope to Merlin that it's Ginny so we can leave.
"Hermione," Ginny called. I looked up and everyone was looking at me, Harry still laughing, I don't know why it's so amusing to him, Ron still looking confused, Fred smiling and chuckling and George just looking at me like he knows exactly what's going on. I lock eyes with him for a fraction of a second then I stand up and walk over to Ginny.
"Can we go now?" I ask urgently.
"Yeah sure, why are you blushing?" She asked. I felt every eye on me.
"Let's just go," I pulled her arm out the door. We apparated to Diagon Alley.
"What was all of that about?" Ginny teased.
"Nothing, let's just go find some dresses," I started walking towards a new shop that looked like it had really pretty dresses in the front window. The shop was packed with amazing dresses. I made my way over to a rack with formal looking dresses and Ginny came up behind me and started looking on another rack. Ginny and I tried dozens of dresses on but they were all too beautiful! Ginny made me try on a dress for the second time; it was a floor length valentine red dress with a slit up the front of the leg. It had dazzling beadwork along the V-Neck and a low back. It was truly stunning and was definitely the one. Ginny picked a gorgeous dress herself, it was long and the color was a shaded mauve. It had some rhinestone detailing along the empire waistline, with a halter neckline.
