"'Mione I was so worried!" Ron said and he ran up to her and pulled her in for a kiss.
Fred clenched his fist's and said "She was with us!"
"Exactly." Said Ron with a sour look to his brother's.
Right as Fred was about to retaliate, Hermione beat him to it "Really Ronald! Your brother's just took me out for a nice day. There is no need to over react!" Then she stalked out of the room.
Fred looked in awe after her and Ron stomped out of the room. Before he left he turned around and stomped his foot like Ginny used to do when she was twelve. "This is all your fault!" he yelled.
When he walked away Fred and George burst into a fit of laughter. Ginny soon walked in and said "You sly dog!" then she pat Fred on the shoulder. Fred raised an eyebrow and she said "You kidnapped her! Genius!"
"Hey she was going to tell mum on us! I couldn't let that happen, now could I?' He said In mock seriousness. Ginny snorted as Harry walked in.
"Hey you guy's. Do you know what's going on with Ron and Hermione? They seemed pretty mad." Harry asked.
"Oh we just kidnapped Hermione, nothing unusual." Said George with a serious expression on his face. Harry laughed and walked out of the room. Fred noticed Ginny stare at him as he left with a wistful expression on her face.
Fred grabbed the shoe sitting next to him and he threw it at his sister's face. It hit her right on as he said "Fancy anyone Ginevra?"
She whipped around and attacked him. They started wrestling each other with George refereeing. Ginny ended up kicking her brother in the golden spot. He crouched in on himself and rolled around. George had tears of laughter running down his face, as he held up Ginny's arm in victory.
She stuck her tongue out at Fred and strut out of the room. After a couple of minutes Fred stood up and lightly punched George in the arm for his continuous snickering. Fred looked to his side, and noticed that the book that he had bought for Hermione was laying on the floor. He sighed and picked it up.
He walked over to a chair and sat dejectedly down. "'You know, I think Hermione was really starting to warm up to me! Then Ron had to come in like the little prat he is!" Fred said looking at the ceiling.
George sat down and said "Yes, he may be a prat, but did you see her face when Ron got all jealous and kissed her?" Fred grinned to himself and looked down at the book in his hands.
"I'll be back." Said a confident sounding Fred. With the book in his hand he walked up to Hermione's room. He slowly opened the door and peeked in to make sure he wasn't interrupting anything. Hermione sat on her bed with an angry expression on her face and angry tears threatening to fall. Fred wouldn't have any of that, he would make her smile.
He walked in and said "Hey beautiful!" She looked over and could see a smile slightly forming on her face. "What's with the frown? Don't let little Ronnie ruin our fun!" he said as he plopped on the side of her bed.
She laughed a little bit and said "I just hate it when he kisses me in front of other people; its awkward. Then he gets so jealous. Even when I'm with his own brother! What does he have to worry about?"
Fred frowned a bit at the last part of that, but he wasn't facing her so she couldn't see. Then in a slightly sarcastic voice he said "Oh yes! What could he possibly have to worry about with us?"
Hermione noticed the sarcasm, but decided not to ask about it. She didn't really know what was up since the Yule Ball. She knew they were going to kiss, and lately Fred and George have been treating her like a real friend. She never really had time to think about the almost kiss and the feeling that came from it. Right afterwards was when Ron asked her out and she couldn't have been happier.
However, she has noticed some problems in her and Ron's relationship. They were always bickering, and then to try and solve a fight Ron would snog her. Hermione was snapped out of her reverie when Fred turned around to face her. She looked up at him into his brown eyes. His eyes were full of mischief and fun. It was like they had never seen the horrors of the world, even though they had. Fred was always so optimistic, and he lightened Hermione's mood whenever she saw him.
"Hermione," he began "I really like-" and then he was abruptly cut off by the door opening. Ginny was standing in the doorway with a hint of frustration on her face pointing at Fred.
"Mum wants you, George and I to clean the living room." She said with narrowed eyes. Fred clenched his jaw and said bye to Hermione. He walked out of her room, leaving her book and stalked up to Ginny.
"You just ruined my moment! I was about to tell her how I feel!" he said with anger laced in his eyes and voice.
"I know!" said Ginny.
Fred stared at her In disbelief and said "I thought you wanted us to get together! This could have been the moment!"
Ginny stopped walking and spun around to face him. "First off, Hermione is still dating Ron. You have to have them break up. Without ruining their friendship. " she said with a stern look. "Second, you have to get to know her better, and let her get to know you better."
Fred looked away starting to see things through Ginny's eyes. Then the usual mischievous glint returned to his eyes and he looked at his sister. "I have a plan."
